will drop into IT; then drain and wipe
them dry. This must be done quickly,
so as not to allow the potatoes to become

immediately turn them into it, shake
them little. and drop them quickly into
hot fat. When done, turn them into a

tie manure that can be spared for this
purpose, and spread it over the surface
and then pillow under, leaving the soil in

to begin in autumn, plowing once at this
time, and again in spring. The heavy
rains will do more towards mixing the
materials than any manipulation with
ploa oy spade.
