to thank God all the time that there Is so good

best medicines for coughs, and weak sinking feel
ings at the stomach and advise every body 10 take
vegetne, for can assure them 1t Is OF the best

Seed Potatoes.

Farmers should have an eye TO their seed
potatoes for planting next spring. The ex-
perience of thousands of farmers in various
sections Of the country goes To show that
large potatoes for seed are no better than
medium sized ones, only that, in dry sea-
son, ii planted whole, they sustain the plants
by the moisture in them better than smaller
potatoe-. il is not advisable TO plant the
snail ones; they should be fed out, but So
| I,ct those for seed that are rather too small
for marketing. Blu. in rich soil. and in Il
sufficiently moist season, potatoes no larger
than waluuis will produce good crops. Some
Year. ago ! laDted some potatoes, II new
ana de ryariety 20 larger than ilbertS, and
the prouuct Was as good IS when | used
large seed but the ground Nas heavily
MANFRED, aud the season was favorable.
When one buys any of the new varieties in
small quantities, and desires to produce the
largest possible crop, each potato may be
C 1t into as many pieces rs it has eyes, and
che eye may be put in a hill. Two to three
hundred pounds of potatoes may thus be
grown from one pound OF seed.
