POTATOES FROM POTATO SPRoUTs.-Mr.
Guilbert Strang, Owasco, N. Y, writes -
II had about quart of Early Rose pota-
toes given to me last spring. had heard
of such prodigious yields from a small
amount of seed, concluded there must be
some deviation from the ordinary mode of
planting, and | concluded to try an expert
ment. l let the sprouts grow ON my pota-
toes until about the first of June; they
were six or eight inches long. Ithen broke
them off and set them outas / would cab
bage plants. I put them in rows two feet
apart one way and eight inches another.
also cut the potatoes and planted them In
thesame way in rows adjoining my spyout
rows. And now, in digging my potatoes,
! find my sprout seed to yield, in every
particular, equal to that from the seed po-
tato.-Let them sprout to the length of six
or eight inches break off tho-sprouts
and set them out as you would cabbage or
tomato plants. Feed or eat up the potatoes
and nothing will be lost. "-Moore's Rurag
