would suppose that she was going

All the charm of the old boy-land,

keep.ng Seed Potatoes.

American Gardening tells how some
have kept their potatoes intended for
seed. Selecting them when digging,
they store them in a dry shed or barn
until the weather gets cold. About the
middle of November they sort them,
rejecting all that show signs of decay.
They then spread a layer of straw eight
or ten inches thick upon the ground,
and place the potatoes on this. The best
results are from mounds about three
feet wide at the base and rising like n
cone to about the same height. This is
covered with straw, and then by layer
of soil from six to eight inches thick.
Before the weather gets too severe
more soil may be added, and when the
ground is frozen put on more straw or
strawy manure. They seem to winter
much better than in cellars or when Put
