cnre of Seed Potatoes.

Toward spring when the weather
gets warm. tho potatoes will begin to
throw out sprouts. We should try to
prevent this. We can do If we have
plenty of room in the cellar, and this
we shall in all probabilities have at
that season as much Of the crop as
will likely have been disposed of. The
boxes should then be placed one tier
deep on the cellar floor. The light
should then he let in. and the contents
of each box turned into the other about
once every week ut first, and oftener
when the weather gets still warmer.
The potatoes thus handled will shrivel
and discolor. but the sprouts will not
become long. and when the seed is
planted growth will be immediate

In many places oats are yet threshed
by hand. Thcrc are some advantages
in this, especially for oats to be used
for seed. In such case the heaviest
seeds should be got out an.! tile light
oats left in the straw. which will make
horse feed, while the heavy oats will
he superior for seed purposes. The
hand threslling will naturally be de-
ferred until cold weather. by which
time the seed will be thoroughly dry.
IL threshed by machine and the oats
are put into bins the grain always
heats more or less. and its vitality is
injured. If only -threshed oats
were used for seed. this grain would
not run out as it does now. Always
SOW heavy oats for seed, and the pro-
duct will not run light. as strong
plant will mature plump seed, despite
hot and dry weather.
