Saving Potatoes

froni Bureau county, 111., to the Prairie Farmer : "In view of the scarcity of potatoes in this part of the country, I would auggest that by cutting off the seed end, and then cutting that in two picces, and putting one of thoso in for a bilí, the balance of tho potato can be used for food. Or by a little labor, for those having a fow potatoes, they can sprout them like sweet potatoes, and then pull off the sprouts, and set them out, and by continuing to do so, inuch more can be produced from the few used up in producing tho sprouts. One uian in our village says he iu this way gets earlier potatoes than ho can by planting tho wholo potatoes. If readers will give these two ways a fair trial and report through your paper next fall, they may sorve their country in this wny.
