would really like to find out some way to raise better potatoes and more of them than I do. Not but that l can raise them, after a fashion I get tolerable crops, compared with other growers. But ninety years ago, when the fields were new to cultiva- ton, my grandfather used to get, year after year, an average yield of a bush el from thirteen hills. This from the same fields which now often scant a pushei from fifty hills.
 I've tried every combination of man ures and fertilizers I could hear of or study out, with and without lime. with level cultivation and with hilled-up rows, with seed in three-foot check rows and with it dropped in furrows a foot apart, with fertilizer above and below the seed, with seed cut to two eyes with seed just cut in half. with sprayings of Bordeaux and Paris green and sprayings of plain arsenate and sprayings of seven different pat ented bug or spore killers:-and I've never yet got a crop to measure up to those of the olden times.

A correspondent in Windham county, who used to be troubled both with rot and white Rrubs in his potatoes, tells me that he hasn't had any trouble with either for five years, that he has raised good crops of high keeping and fine eating qualities, and that his treatment also tends to prevent blight. Here is his plan:-
 After the ground is prepared and durrowed T SOW just enough fine salt in the bottom of the furrow to make rhe dirt look little white, say about a tuSfei ard half to the acre: Then SOW in one hclf the phosphate I in tend to use and drag all in with a chain or small los (aaything to mix up the salt an1 fertilizer with the dirt). I have ready some f1ou- of sui phur and land plaster both thoroughly fired and mixed at the rate of one pound sulphur to two pounds plaster This quantity does for three bushels of cut potatoes. I put a bushel and 2 half of potatoes into a barrel, add EalF my sulphur-pIaster mixture and roll tDe barrel till the cut sides are thor Oughly dusted. Then I plant and cover as soon as possible. think if the mixture remained on long it might hurt the gerninating quality of the seed. When the plants break grou=d I put on the other half of the fertilizer and with a cultivator cover up fertil- iZer. plants and all. By the way Il keep the weederi running often enough
