that nearly every one follows, either

Pick the oysters out of the juice with

thoroughly cooked then drop the

SEED PoTAToEs.-Farmcrs are not
usually as careful as they should be
in selecting their seed potatoes
Some grow different varieties all to-
gether, and get all manner of crosses
between them. Others who planted
separately, store different varieties
in the same bin. where they arc haul
cd over for use and feeding till they
are thoroughly mixed, and it becomes
ificult if not i'm possible to separate
them perfectly if one wished to, and
too often this is not attempted, and
they are planted as they come. A
white meated potato is always bet-
ter that q yellow one, and they can
generally be distinguished. If 20,
tatoes get mixed they should be care
fully sorted before planting Wis-
