THE POTATO.

Tn, potato is as universally eaten as
bread. The best kind Is the Dover, which
the farmers will not raise because 1t Is a
yery uncertain crop. With the best care
the yield is small in comparison with that
Of many other sorts. and it is likely to be
small compared with the product OF its
own species in favorable years. Nobody
can predict what will be the result OF
planting certain area, any more than
one can prognosticate how S. S. Cox will
get even with Speaker Kerr before the
end of the present session of Congress.
Next to the Dover, and better yielder,
is the Early Rose. This potato lis hand
somer than the Dover. may be kept late,
and properly cooked is good enough Tor
the greatest epicure who has not arrived
at the art and mystery of baked potato.
When YOU come TO that, the crucial test,
there is nothing for it but the Dover,
which. however small 1t may be, Is mealy,
sweet, delicious One difficulty in raising
potatoes of the best quality. is, that one
cannot foresee precisely how wet the sea
son may be- While it needs moist, II
does not do best in wet SOIL A favorlte
plan is to plant on sod, but here again es-
necially if crude manure is used, there Is
danger, OF the looks of the potato being
spoiled bv the worms. AS matter oil
precaution, if not of absolute requirement,
it would be advisable to use no raw stable
manure. Unless, indeed the object be to
grow large potatoes-to sell.
The need of discriminating in accepting
the results of experiments has never been
more forcibly impressed upon US than by
reading the elaborate statement of New
york ;c,,rpol oe IN tho cultivation of file Id
Of potatoes where the rows were severally
fertilized with manure, with ashes, each OF
these combined with salt, and not at all.
The conclusion drawn from weighing the
product is, that ashes, directly applied to
the potato in the hill, Is not only useless
but harmful. Now, If any one rushes
to the conclusion that ashes are not bene-
fetal to potatoes, he makes great mis-.
take. It Is we'll known fact that our old
soil Is deficient in potash. On general
principles, then, any addition of potash,
properly applied must be advantageous.
In the instance above cited, the ashes were
applied in the furrow, and a severe
drought followed the planting. If the soil
is sandy loan. let the potatoes be plant
ed on the most moist part of the garden;
use well rotted manure; when the tops
are somewhat grown sprinkle over them
ashes, plaster and salt; there is no dam
ger of using too much of the two former.
and of the latter but little is needed. This
treatment will give size, delicacy of taste.
and freedom from worm-eating. Then
cooked properly, one will have not only
nourishing article of diet, but one which
will prove attractive both to the eye and
appetite -Pr0ridence Journal.
