peA-. Most of our farmers have been busy for the
last two weeks, harvesting their wheat. The yield,
as has been known for some months would be the
case, very light but the quality is said on all
hands to be the very best that has ever been seen
in this section. The heads very large, and the
grain unusually plump and full.

How TO GET LARGE CROP OF PoTATors -
We find the following plan for increasing the
yield OF potatoes in a communication to the
New England Farmer. The experiment is not
very expensive one:
When any of my neighbors raise better
crops or get them with less labor than [ can.
| am apt to want to know how they do it. On
the other hand, if they have extravagaut the
cries, do great deal of extra work on their
land, fuss great deal with composing ma
nures, and thoroughly puIverizing the land
and still do not show any better crops than
their neighbors, am not particularly inqusi-
tive to know or practice their theories Hap.
pening few days ago to be in the cellar Of
Capt. Hayden of Hollis, | noticed his bins
OF splendid potatoes, and had the curiosity to
inquire how he raised them. He told me that
on ground plowed in the spring he furrowed
as deep as he could without turning up the
turf. He prepared his manure by putting in
. the green manure, some loan, ashes and brine,
or salt not very strong. He cut his potatoes
so that one as large as hens egg would be
divided into three or four pieces, and put three
pieces in a hill, the skin side up, in triangle
OF about five or six inches apart. He then put
a shovelful of the manure on the top of the po-
tatoes. The result was that his p0tatoes
yielded at the rate of from eight to twelve hills
to the bushel of good market potatoes He
told me he took good sized potatoes to plant
The potatoes he raised were large enough
would average as large as turkeys eggs
shall try it, and if any Of our readers would
IKE to do the same, you may give them a
chance.
