toes principally start from. the
joints, and they appear to do
best when near the surface where
they can receive the heat from
the sun.
In transplanting construct
holes of proper size, "A to IS
inches apart, and fill with water.
When the water is absorbed fill
again. Place a plant in the
water and draw loose soil around
it, but do not back the soil
good supply of water will usu-
ally settle the soil sufficiently
without packing, and will also
give the plants an immediate
start-an important feature.
The potatoes generally pro-
coed from the joints, as afor'
said. The lower ends of the
shanks, where cut, will soon
heal and send out a good sup
ply Of roots; these roots appear
to be necessary to sustain the
plants aud the potatoes above.
The above points, especially
the Importance of providing a
shank when there is only one
joiut, did not occur to me in
time to properly decide them by
experiment the pat season.
Cutting vines into lengths of
three leaves is known to be good,
and cutt'dg iLto lengths of only
one leaf, W tn a shank attached
as above, may prove equally
good
After the soil has been pre-
pared, as aforesaid, lay off into
drills three and a half to four
feet apart. The sweet potato is
a rank feeder Of potash and
phosphoric acid. Therefore, if
planted on legume sod, apply
per acre in th4 drills muriate of
potash IS to 1870 lbs, or 26O to
$40 lbs. of kai it ia lieu of the
muriate If potash, and 165 to
$50 lbs. of acid phosphate.
/ not planted on a legume
sod, double the above dose and
add thereto nitrate of soda, 1876
20 270 lbs. Mix the fertilizer
with the soil, preferably a few
weeks before planting, construct
ridges thereon, and plant as
aforesaid.

SWEET POTATOES.

SOME New POINTS OF VALUE.
The quality of laud and the
preparation thereof are the first
things to be considered. A
sandy loan, we'll supplied with
humus, is nsidered best for
sweet potatoes IF deficient in
humus, as most of the old lands
south are, it will b. we'll to first
grow and turn down a lpgumo
crop, preferably COW peas. If
the land is sandy, spring pre-
paration will answer for COW
peas, but if not sandy the land
should be well prepared by thor
ough early ploughing. A few
weeks before the time for plant
ing COW peas arrives lay off INTO
drills three and a half feet apart
and deposit thrr III 60, lbs per
acre Of a fertilizer made by mix
ing 400 lbs. of mnriate Of potash
with l 800 pounds of acid phos-
phate; mix the fertilizer we'll
with th4 soil.
At the proper time open the
drills and plant COW peas at the
rate Of about II pounds per acre.
Cultivate thoroughly from start
to finish; if possible permit no
grass to mature seed
Soon after maturity, say after
frost, turn down the entire crop
Of vines aud let remain until
early spring
CUTTINGS VS. DRAWS
Proper tests have shown that,
other things being equal, vines
cut into lengths Of three leaves
each and planted with one leaf
or joint above ground, will yield
about SO ,e cut. more pota-
toes, ard f betr quality, than
draws will.
A HOT-BED SUPERSEDED.
If a hot-be be Employed in
growing vines for cuttlrg pur-
poses it is impract ca to give
the vines the nece, sary distance.
The plan below gives ample dis
ia ce and will also produce
plants sufficiently early TO yield
full crop Of potato:s. Hence
it is believed that the new plan
Will eventually, to a great ex-
tent, supersede hot-bed4, espe-
c ally in the middle and south
ern portions Of the United
States. The advantages Of the
new plan are such that it can
probably be proftably employed
