Many prescriptions deal with the

to have been due to overindulgence in
food and drink. when man is bill

MANURING FOR
GOOD POTATOES
Massachusetts Specialist Differs
From Familiar Methods
An Fertilizer and
Preparation.

DR.. J. Fisher of Fitchburg, Mass, is
very successful in growing large crops
Of potatoes, and he varies from our
familiar methods principally In his fer
tilizer formula, the preparation and
planting of the seed. Following Is the
formula:
Two hundred and twenty-five pounds
of sulphate ammonia; 750 pounds nj
trate Of soda; 150 pounds South Caro-
lima floats; $50 pounds acid phos-
phate; 45O pounds sulphate of potash;
150 pounds sulphate magnesia; 200
pounds air-slacked lime; 2,375 pounds
costing about $40
Two-thirds of this formula will be
spread broadcast and will be narrowed
in before planting. The seed potatoes
are treated with the corrosive subli-
mate solution to prevent scab, then
spread In a greenhouse and allowed to
sprout several weeks. At planting time
the seed is cut and only one sprout
left on each piece, the surplus sprouts
being purposely broken off. DR.. Fish
er considers a potatoe the size of q
marble. which has been started In this
way and all but the best sprout
rubbed off, as very good seed
Furrowing out Is done with horse
hoe and the seed is planted under a
line, giving perfectly straight rows
and exact distance between plants.
Each seed piece is set upright and
covered with about two inches OF
earth; the remaining third Of the fer.
tilizer is now scattered In the drill
and covered by running the horse hoe
| between the rows. The horse weeder
and cultivator are used SO frequently
and thoroughly as to avoid hand hoe
ing.

thing that attracted his attention was
