Mr.. Charles Badger, who reported a

who showed full five bushels of the
marketable potatoes at the recent Frank lin
Farmers Club Fair. gives us an account

sandy loan. 1t lies in a valley. and
though never too wet, seldom suffers
severely from drought. Last spring. a
good horse load of stable manure, from
barn where horses, cows and hogs are
kept, was spread and spaded in. the work
being very thoroughly done. On the 18th

the burrows could conveniently be made
with a spade. ten rows to the rod. A half
bushel of seed was used, cut into from
two to three eyes or more. medium sized
potatoes being cut into two or more pieces.
The pieces were dropped about foot
apart. four or five inches below the sur
face level. After covering lightly with
earth, light mulch of saturated litter
from hog sty was laid over the rows,
and three common water pailsful of
Stockbridge fertilizer spread over the
whole. At hoeing time dressing of
pulverized hen manure was sprinkled
