I hae experimented more or less for the last ten years with different varieties cf potatoes in different locations, with varying conditions of S'MI and with different kinds of fertilizers, includ ing both stable manure anil commercial fer tilizers. For the last three years I have had very good success under the following conditions: - The locntiou being a gravelly ridge, I pio er a cloer sod for potatoes, and next to that, land planted to corn the previous 3 ear, I use varieties of potatoesthat are good ylelders, and grow rank tupp. I iil one half ton St"eK bridge Manure I.r acie. and planted from time to five acres each year, harvesting at the rate of ami bushels to the acre, the Inst season harvesting 1,3A bush els from four acres. Mv manner for rnrinc for them is this: I plow nliout ! inches deep, harrow the land thoroughly, and furrow out , Inches deep, 3 feet apart, for the rows, strew the fertilizer, mixing it with the soil before planting. I use a medium sized potato, cutting to one or two eies, dropping two nieces In a hill, tno feet nnart In n row. nnd cover them by hand, being very iarticular with this pa-i oi me won;, as soon as needs make their apjiearance, we hairov. with a smoothing burrow two or three times, or until the potatoes are three inches h'gli, cultivate them when six Inches high, going twice In a row. and use the hill, r when a foot high, going twice In a row, making wide lint hills or rows. 1 hate used Pans green for bugs, with w-ater, until the last season, when 1 used the C'ycK.ne duster. I haw used the Bordeaux mix ture for the past three years. Under this method of cultivation, very little hand hoeing is neces sary. Previous to IMI1 I experimented with stable manure, both green and rotted, ploughing in, also spreading on top witli uusatisfuctor, re sults. 1 could grow tops and potatoes, but they would lie scabby or rotten ns to make it unprofit able. I lime used many different brands or com mercial fertilizers, but haie had the best results w Ith the Stockbridge Manure-. Although costing more per ton than some others, I consider It much the clieaiiest to buv. A. I.. ASELTINE, Swauton, Vt.

Stone, East Andover, N.H., reports that on land planted to potatoes for eight years consecutively, and exclusively each year on Stockbritfge Potato Manure, he raised an average of 384 bushels potatoes p$r acre per year. He writes : " The experimental piece was not garden soil, but was broken up especially for the purpose of making a care ful and exhaustive test for a series of years, and to satisfy myself that the Bowker Fertilizer Company were making as good goods one year as another. " I also wanted to satisfy myself that potatoes could be grown for a series of years on Stockbridge exclusively. " It was land which cut in the neighborhood of 3-4 of a ton of hay per acre prior to being ploughed. It was thoroughly cultivated, but no greater care was bestowed on the piece than would have been exercised had a larger g Wilmington, area been planted. "In 1887 I88S 1889 189O 1S9I 1892 893 1894 "The crop of 1893, although quite early, suffered slightly from the severe drouth ; otherwise I think it would have equalled the yield of 1892. The severe drouth also affected the yield for 1894. I applied at the rate of not less than 1,500 lbs. per acre each year, and no year at the rate of over 2,000 lbs. per acre. "On an average I applied at the rate of 1,800 lbs. Stockbridge Potato Manure per acre each year, without any other fertilizer whatever. The rows were the ordinary distance apart (3$ feet), and the potatoes planted from 18 to 20 inches apart in the trenches." Mr. Stone's statement comes to us indorsed by affidavits of farmers who saw the crops growing and har vested. We have not the space to reprint them here.

Another Continuous Experiment on Stockbridge. " I have used the Stockbridge Manure on a piece of land (of about 1 acre) for potatoes the last six years, three years with a very light coat of manure ploughed in, and the last three years with no other manure than Stockbridge, the crop being from 300 to 400 bushels a year, much to the surprise of my neighbors, who have watched my crop for the last three years, expecting to see a failure.
