The young man went across last February His letter says: No doubt you have heard I am safely across the big pond and will write to let you know I am we'll and hope you are all the same. The climate is quite a bit warmer here than in Connecticut, and we have been having fine weather most of the time since I've been here. Peach and other fruit trees are in bloom and daffodils violets and dan- Gelions. I have seen cowsiips in bloom also.
 The people here all have their vine- yards, guess, and wine appears to me to be plenty. Most of the carts and carriages have only two wheels. Flowing is usually done with one horse, but there aren't any large stones to bother. Most of the land is cleared but there is some woodland here. The trees are pine oak. chest nut, poplar and others. They are beginning to leaf out. Haven't seen signs of corn being grown yet. Rye or wheat q don't know which, or both) is grown, and I've seen lettuce growing.
 It is cold and frosty in the morning but it gets to be unusually warm by night. Have been located in three different places since I've been here At present my address is Fourth Go.

BE CAREFUL OF CHILLED SEED
 POTATOES. e-

Last winters extremely cold wealth CT caused the loss of many bushels of potatoes in storage. t probably seriously injured the buds of many more, which were not frozen enough to be destroyed as food. At least they have been injured as far as their growing ability is coneernedK It would be a good plan before planting to test some of the seed. by cutting them and placing them in a warm, sunny place. Planting dead stock will mean a serious loss-more this season than ever before because everything which goes into the growing of a crop of po- tatoes-labor, fertilizer, and machinery --is higher in price than ever before.
