New Varieties Of Potatoes.
It requires time, patience, and perse-
verance TO raise potatoes from the seed;
but il you succeed in producing good
variety it will pay you well for yonr
trouble. Raise your own seed. Choose
fully matured, Medium sized potatoes,
OF tho earliest and best varieties; cut
them trausversely in tho middle; plant
only tho seed end, with the eyes up
ward; plant in drills about Thirty inches
apart, placing tho pieces about ten
inches apart in tho drills; putting the
varieties Zone OF the varieties must be
seed beariug) alternately. Planted in
this why have had non seed bearing
varieties, sucll rs peach blow, carlyrose,
ETC., bear seed balls. Cultivate in the
usual way. When tho seed balls are
formed, pinch OF from each vine I'LL but
two or three balls. III the full, when
tho vines are mostly dead, gather the
balls, press ont the seeds and dry them
in the sun; when they are thoroughly
dry, put them where they will keep dry.
In the spring SOW tho seeds either in
glAss covered boxes or in the open mir.
When the plants arc about two inches
high, plant them III drills about two feet
apart, and ahont two feet apart in the
drills. Cultivate them well. When the
vines are mostly dead, dig tho potatoes,
each hill by itself. r ject all very
small, i'll shaped or unhealthy tubers.
Do likewise tho second md third years;
tue fourth ycnr they will be catable and
their quality determined.
Cnre Of wInter Fruit.
First, carefully select tho best fruit,
have good clean barrels aud line them
with paper, sides and bottoms Fill
your barrel one fourth full and cover
with paper, I'LL in no many more and
cover again, nnl 80 on until your barrel
is full cover with paper aud head up

hnve them freeze. To those who have
been in the habit OF storing away their
winter apples Just MS it happened, In
boxes or bins or old barrels Just ready

barrel or two will be amply repaid next

next winter and spring. II any Que has
n better method that is rs cheap and
practical for the farmer, would like Ia
SEQ it in print. have tried packing in
lind plaster, but like tho paper best.
Keep Manure Under Cover.
Manure in the barnyard properly pre-.
served under cover is worth twice rs
much as That which is left exposed to
the elements, its best constituents being
washed away before its application tc
tho crops.
