CULTURE.—The soil best suited to tiie Potato is a rich, sandy loam, l)ul it seems to thrive in almost any soil or climate. The Potato, being a gross feeder, requires a liberal application of manure; if stable manure is to be used, it should be well rotted, and not allowed to come in contact with the tubers. On no other crop are the results from the use of the phosphates so manifest as on the Potato ; almost invariably the tubers are smoother, brighter and freer from rust and the destructive influence of wire worms. The best feitilizers are plaster, lime, super-phospate of lime and bone-dust. Potato scab can be entirely prevented by using flower of sulphur in the rows with the phosphate. Use at the rate of 100 to 150 lbs. to the acre. Plant as early in the spring as the ground can be thoroughly worked, in rows 3 feet apart and 1 foot in the rows ; covering in light, warm soil about 4 inches, and in cold, wet ground 3 inches deep; draw the earth to the plants as they advance in growth.
