Excerpt from The ABC of Potato Culture It is just eight years ago this month since the first edition of this book was printed. In revising it now I am really surprised to see how many things there are that I want to change a little. My experience has come from many seasons' work in the iield, and much study. Really, the best of my life_has been spent in this line; but still there are some points that I wish I had two or three more years' experience on before writing these pages. Thus it will always be, how ever; and long before this edition is sold out, readers will find it behind the times on some point, doubtless. There will be little found in these pages that the writer has not given to the public in substance, through the columns of the papers for which he has written, such as The Country Gentleman, Ohio Farmer, Practical Faimer, Rural New -yorker, National Siockmcm and Farm Journal. The object of this book is to get it together into compact, convenient shape for reference, and corrected to date.
