OF course the land should be broke

the question to make potatoes with

otherwise, and make tons of vines and
roots, but it takes potash to make
potatoes. Two hundred pounds OF

land that makes all vines. On very

Advice Worth Following.

To a very considerable extent the
object of the general farmer should
be to produce, as far as possible,
everything that his family and his
live stock will use, and have a surplus
of these products that can be most
readily marketed, and yet will take
the least quantity of fartilizing ele-
ments from his soil. In this way he
reduces his outlay to minimum and
gives himself an opportunity to re-
alize on variety of products.-Farm
