Manure For Potatoes

A fertilizer suited to any soil cannot be prescribed without knowing the particular needs of whatever soil it is applied to. In most cases, the most certain and reliable fertilizer is good barn mannre properly applied the previous years. Superphosphates do not always pay cost, but if they have proved decidedly useful on any soil, a few hundred pounds may be applied to the acre. In other instances ground bone, mixed v.-itu inoderately heating barn manure, has proved beneficial on some land. Nitrate of soda lias greatly aidedgrowth on some soils, vith no appreciable benefit on othprs. An extensivo manufacturer of potato fertilizers assnred nsthaí he could not recommend any for certain named soils. Such special fertüizers have sometimes given the largest known potato crops in the country, birt in man y cases they have produced comparatively small ones. Every owner therefore must experiment variously on bis own land to determine what is needed and to select the best. - Country Gentleman.
