This method will answer Tor a small patch
tlicicu,ly large for family use, but when cuI.
atcd on larger scale for market, 1t is not
rcucablc for lhe want of straw.
In this case the following method is recon.
ended. Having laid off the luCows as above,
II with dccomnoseJ straw or leaves; or
+, ,inkle leachcd ashes in the bottom OF the
lows, then plant the potatoes as before and
lycr with the plow, throwing up Il lurrow
IN each side. Thcn inst before tAe potatoes
Gin to appear brush ,!iem over so as 10 level
ground After this, use the plough or hoe
may be necessary. If the ground has been
the proper quality and prepared as di5ceted,
l.ler things being equal, YOU may expect good
atoes, both as il respects quality and guam
ly. 1t Is said that Il handful Of Jog-holr
/. tOwn on a hill Of potatoes when planted will
I?atly increase the yield. Il Is worth trial.
Blu, farmers often fad it more difficult TO
ocp their potatoes than to raise them. The
b lowing method Is pefbars 'he most success
oil. Potatoes should not be permitted 10 re-
'ain in the ground * soon as the bauIm or
ocs die they should be dug and spread rs
IN as possible in a cool dry place, shaded
ON the sun where the air can freely circulate.
there is not room to spread them as thinly
q they ought to be, they should be stirred
eqaently, 50 as 10 give them an opportunity
, dry thoroughly. This is called the season
~ process. Ia this situation lhey may re.
ain until they are in danger Of Frost. They
oould then be removed 10 close dry cellar
here they will not freeze, but get sufficiently
ool to prevent them from sprouing. |; would
q well 10 stir them occasionally, and if any
'Touts appear they should be broken OFT as
ley inJure the potato by making them watery
% this way | have kaown potatoes to keep
91d until new ones came,
Or perhaDg il is better 10 let potatoes remain
he ground without digging until FROST or
there is danger Of freezing; for they will
.ep better in the ground where they grew
IN they viii in any other place. When dug /
j. them remain on the ground or spread them
house until they dry. Then place them
4 ground which has been~somevhat elevated
E bedded IN for the purpose in long heap,
