GROWLVNG MARKET POTATOES. .l&mocst any kind cf soil that .7,iii taise a crop of cern wil 'produce 900dl potatoes if properly prepared, writes -Mr. John Tye. It is very essentiel that the greund be loose and fine be- fore the seed potatoe are planted. If the land, bias been plewed in the f al disk or harrew, tilg it is leose and fine te, a deptb cof three inches, then plow again. This will turn the loose soil dowmn te the bottom cf the furrowv, 11larrow,% dowru fine again. This will give a good seed bed of six or seven Lnchea cf fine Jeose eartb. If yau w.ia vh te pl&ut ilu buis they ihould bPczabout 6 1-2 f', apart eacb ,way, te allow cf free cultivation. I mark wjtb, a corn, markcr eue way, aud then use a four-shovel sulky cul- tivator te open up tbe furrew the ether way, taking off tPe twe inside shovels and fastening tPe other two the deired distance apart. Tbe next tbing cf importance is te liavc goed sgeed ci. some popular sal- able) variety. Cut te eue or two eYcs a.nd plant cnly eue plece Lu a hili. ri ;c your foot on each piece se as ti "press it dowu into the loose dirt w% deep as possible. Tbis rwill meke ceverinig ea5ier and will aise preveut drying eut. Cever wvth a bec, putting eue heeful cf djrt on each piece cf potate. The marks made by tPe sul- ky cultivator w-ill remain se as te be easiiy accu across the field. Neyer Plant Rcabby potatoes, if it can lia avoided, but if lyou must plant ihem sosk ln corrosive sublimate solution, euené part cf p.ublimate te 1000 parts ,ater, fer two heurs Pefere planting. After planting it 'wiil net, be ne- ressary te de anytbiug more te ýthe petato patch for two weeks. By that time pigeon grass and other weed eeeds will have icommenced te grow by the tbousauds, but the potatoees vijl cet lie above tbe'ground. New take the sulky cultivator and turu the in- side shovels a littie, go tbat wheu you fellew the cultivator marks it will leave the ground as level as posr- isible. This wlll kili ail the weeds, and Py the time tbey start up again the petatees will lie eut ef tbe grouud. TPey can tbcu be easily cultivated. Some advise draggiug the petate f icld after planting te kill weeds. I neyer de it, for if the soi is very loose the drag la sure te break off many spreuts and somelimes entircly re- meve the seedI picce eut of its place. The cultivating fsbould be kept up as long' as the vines wili permit, and thee ali should iiever be allowed ta bake sftcýr a heavy rein, or ugly, de- fermed, liunchy petatees wiii' resuit. A( geod plan 1.9 te eultivate once a iweek whetber tbere are any weeds iu the pateh or net, for if dry wes- ther prevails the loose fali is exces- isive, the ground benunet bake if the cultivator is kcpt geing. ThehPili- er shouý(- be used tbe fast two or three ttmes. It will net disturb tPe smaîlpetatees, whicb will set before the vines arc large enaugb te stop the cultivation. If petate bu'gs 'bother tPe vines mueli, spray with paris green. A spraying p'ump fer tbat purpose eau lie bougbit for 50% at most bardware stores, but if oee zannot be obtaiucd, mix Paris green, one teaspeeonful te tbree gallons water, and for a sprink- ler use a bunch of timetby Peads, and wben you are threugli nsiug, put it inte tPe steve. It is only tbe work cf a'minute te get anether wbcn needd If tbe petatoees axe te be sbipped a$ soon as liarvcstcd, thcy sbould net lie due unti] the middle of Octeber.
