spaded or broken with the plow. The
manure should be we'll rotted and mixed
with the soil. If guano or other fertilizer
is put in the drill it should be covered about
an inch deep and the potato planted above
it. 1.-THE young tubers are formed in soil
that has half decomposed manure. they
will have black spots on them. They will
lack in sweetness and solidity. The furrow

ed about four inches deep, the bed will be
low and fiat. The rows should be q to
feet wide and the potatoes. whether whole
or cut, should be about 10 inches apart in
the drill.''
