The word potato comes to US from the
Spanish bottata, and the Spanish got 1t
from tho indian papas.
n The date of the introduction OF the
potato into England Is rendered aucer-
tain, probably by confounding the
sweet potato with the common potato.
There Is no doubt that the potato was
cultivated in South America by the In
dians, before the discovery of Chill by
the Europeans. The cultivated plant
found It's way to the Carolinas and Vir-
ginia, and Sir Walter Raleigh took 1t to
England in 1856. ..t..,. ..
The tuber of the native potato never
exceeds two inches iii length, and is In
sipid to the taste, but not bitter. 1t has
been supposed to be naturally n sea
shore plant peculiar to hilly and rocky
soils. The first particular cannot be
true of all esculent native potatoes. The
potato loves such Il cool, uniform, moist
and long season rs may be found in
some parts and attitudes OF the tropics;
but its wonderful constitutional vigor
has enabled it to be transplanted In all
parts Of the earth, until 1t Is now con.

Take Care of your Hedges.

Considerable attention has been given
for the last few years to the subject of
fences. Fencing material of all kinds
is evidently getting scarcer and dcarer,
and we are more than ever before aware
of the necessity Of growing live fences,
and being fully convinced by past ex-
perience of the Usage Orange, with
proper treatment, we would earnestly
recommend it to all, not for outside but
for inside, or cross hedges.
We have an Usage Orange hedge sew
en- years dAthat has been effective for sew
eral years and is now protective against
anything from "A pig to Forepaugh's
Romeo. Owing to the unusual amount
of rain which has fallen during the past
summer, q later growth than usual may
be expected, and the plant more pie
thoric and tender and without due care
will doubtless be much Injured, If not
utterly destroyed by freezing, the com.
ing winter. Plants set last spring and
making the first seasons growth, are
most liable to be thus effected. Fol
remedy easily applied, and always Of.
fective, clip off the top of the plant eight
or ten inches. Ii this Is done now, the
first Of September, the growth will be
checked, the wood hardened, and thu;
the plants are enabled to endure the Sc
