The butt or stem! end may be cut into small pieces, and many of them will sprout even if no eyes are visible, just as buds ill come out of limbs of trees where theyr are not discern ible. With ordinary jculturo, when the seed is prepared, in this way, several tiund red-ford of potatoes may be grown. A large crop can be raised by planting the potatoes in a hot bed and allowing them to sprout, and then: removing the sM-out and nlantinir! it in srround carefully repared, and letting the potatoes throw ' out another ; from the same eye, ' which, - iu its, turn, is likewise, transplanted, and so on. until thJ vitality of the 'eye is'e'x hausted. A nuiiiberjof settings, or hills, 'may be obtained from all ot the eyes in this way, and the yield 'from each eje ver j largely multi plied. This is the way the great yields are obtalped. To be success ful, the conditions of soil, tempera ture and moisture must be just right -f that is, . in a condition to promote rapid ami vigorous growth. Anyone familiar with, the manipulation of hot-beds could, doubtless, succeed but if the grower is not thus familiar, it would be. best-to cut the potatoes in small pieces and plant each piece, with tfie-ee, in, a hiil in the open ground. The richerthe ground is made, the i larger will be the growth ; but such overgrown tubers are "more apt to rot.

For over 'twenly years she had been a cripple, in fee!ljle health, and for the last ten veirs' mad ' been1 "blind." !About 20 I i i , - minutes before her death it was no- Xhat she. followed wifh her rihe inoverhents of persons he rooms, and on beinj asked byhqj dadghter if she could see, answijed that si e could.

Wire-worms prey upon the roots j of plants, and might injure the potatoes by eating off the foots to the vines, or by feed ing upon the potatoes themselves. Grubs are the most "damaging to po tatoes, as. they eat holes into them. Itdoes notjfollow- that either v i 1 1 damage a crop the second year be cause they did the year before, as the same conditions: may not exist: and then again, the winter may be Mich as to make decided changes. From these facts there. '-may be no risk 'in planting, the Fame , ground successively with the same cropj and we should prefer to plaut potatoes on potato ground rather than. on sod or stubble, where,; if .the season is favorable for the 'growth and devel- i opment of worms and grubs, they would be sure to be foun active.
