flow TO HAVE MEALY POTATOES.
.—lt is a very common thing in the
spring to find strong, watery pota
toes on the table, unless care has been
taken to select and preserve them.
A poor prtato is the poorest article
of food that can be had ; and as sooo
as they begin to sprout they will be
gin ts grow poor and watery, the
better part of the rsot going to the
support of s.iroiits ; kence, to have
mealy, nice it is necessary
to keep them from exhausting them,
selves in tnis way. An exchange
gives the following method of pre*
ventinp. the potatoes fr#ij sprouting,
Which we hope will be tried and ap
proved. Take good, sound potatoes
and place them in a tub or barrel,
and pour boiling wrter over them,
letting them remain in the v. ater un
til the eyes arf scalded so they will
not sprout; dry the potatoes thor
oughly in the sun, and put thapi away
in a bos? ox barrel in a cool, dry
jriace. This will giv.e good mealy
potatoes all tho time.
—Lettuce plants can be set
put any time tlje ground is dry
enough. Rough weather hag no
effect upon them, especially if
transplanted from the open
ground where they have been
protected through the winter, or
from a cold frame. Warm bor
ders can also be sown with seed,
both for eating when young, and
for tiftmeplpMing. The best va
riety for cutting young, is the
EariyAirled ; the best for trans
planting is the Eariy Cabbage ;
and the best for earjy summer,
even up jto July, is the Late
