tor the benefit of ioadc's, I g:vc
jou iny (•\pcritiiee, eviei.diog over
• twenty years, in preset ving swoct po
■ taloes. When u small boy I noticed that
I mv father, who had a costly cellar,
after Christmas, and that he always
1 had to buy his plan/ings frooi neighbor
/ m Philips / well rawcrubcr swoping
biscuit for potatoes with tbe Philips
uhildcn at school in March and April.
From this neighbor [ loarncd how to
keep sweet potatoes.
Dig after the first signs -* " . r : ,ca
the vines. Don't be i". Ir.r-v about it.
Take ptcnty of tiuie; rather than rtoiry
over getting thorn in t!.o tauc let
theiu 9tay in tne pateh all night in small
piles, putting vines over thorn to keep
frost or heavy dew off. Put one or two
I inonihs' supply in ecl'ar, tho others
| to keep should be put up as follows ;
I like time a'td d• > noi be iu a hurry
Throw up foundation of dirt at least
I eighteen inches, lurge enough to hold
| twenty-five bushels or less, never more,
in ouc hill. On this foundation siioiiM
' he spread dry pinu straw nt Irastm
inches deep. After the potatoes hate
been eu efuily piled on, coat with four
or five inches of dry pine straw: on tbia
place corn stalk vertically, makin each
«talk fit snug and close to it* neighbor
—on; round of stalks being sufficient.
I*«t tbe stalks lap over apex of hill.
Them .:ar«fulty oover with dirt about
three inohe* thick until the weather
get* colder, when as additional coat
ing of dirt will be neeeessary. always
leave top of hill tree from dtat. Tho
traw and lapping tfUlk ends are tuS
cient protection. An old window shutter*
door or inch board placet!
slooingly with slope to the north is all
t.ic shelter neodnd. Tbe oolder tho
winter, the tnorcdirt is necessary on tbe
hills; too uiuch d'rt will cause rot IU
njild weather. Potatoes are lucre ofua
| damaged by beat than by eold Take
down a whole hill, as necessity requires,
| (or oeUnr or Mlket. and go potatoloss
( several days rather than broach your
hill ii damp, fnrgtjy or rainy weather.
I never have lost a crop of potatoes,
and am enjoying tbctu now on my tablo
three times a day if dosireifi. \nrycw
