GROWING SEED POTATOES.

Before planting the seed have The
soil in the best possible condition and
literally enriched with manure.
Choose seed large or medium in size,
mooth, and of best form. Cut in
large pieces and plant in rows three
amp one-half feet apart each way-four
leet each way will be better. Plant
about four inches deep. Three or four
days after after planting, cultivate by
turning the soil to the row. One OF
Two days latter harrow until all is
leveled and made very fine. As soon
IS the plants make their appearance,
cultivate again, turning the soil to the
plants SO as to cover allweedsthat may
have started to grow. When the
plants are about four inches above
ground, thin out to one stalk in O hill.
Continue the cultivation twice each
week, going both ways each time, until
The vines cover the ground. Cultivate
lhallow to avoid breaking the roots.
The best selection for seed will be
rom those stalks, that produce the
largest amount in weight. The most
prolific stalks are the best to select
rom. A stalk that bears o large mum.
Der Of tubers Of good size and form
EiIl make good seed. The improve. !,
