apart. This experiment has been
tried and proven, and many are the

A Mankato man, Jos. Prosser,
claims to have raised good potatoes
from sprouts. The sprouts were set
out something in the manner one

the buds of the sprouts were buried
beneath the soil, while the top of the
sprout was left protruding from the
ground. 1t was not long before the
buds above ground turned into
leaves. Large healthy stocks shot
up, and when Prosser went to the
garden to see if anything was in the
hills he was agreeably surprised to
find that they contained anumber of
nicely developed potatoes about the
size of hens egg, and were a great
deal farther advanced than the hills
where sections of the potato were
planted.
