save the potato Jackets.

l must here throw myself into the
great controversy OF jackets or no jack
cts. Should potatoes be peeled before
cooking or should they be boiled in their
jackets. say most decidedly in their
jackets. and will state my reasons; From
SO to 81 per cent of the above stated
saline constituents OF the potato Is pot
ash, and potash is an important consti-
tuent OF the blood--so important that in
Norway, where scurvy once prevailed
very seriously it has been banished
since the introduction Of the potato,
and according to Lange and other good
authorities, it is owing to the use OF
this vegetable by people who formerly
were insufficieptly supplied with saline
vegetable food. Potash salts are freely
soluble 10 water, and I fnd that the
water in which potatoes bave been
boiled contains potash. and may be prov
cd by boiling it down to oconcentrate. then
filtering and adding the usual potash
test, platinum chloride. 1t is evident
that the skin Of the potato must resist
this passage OF the potash into the water
though it may not fully prevent it.
The bursting Of the skin only occurs
at quite the latter stage Of the cookery.
The greatest practical authorities on the
potato, Irishmen, seem to be unanimous.
/ do not remember to have seen pre-
peeled potato 10 Ireland. find that

In favor, whether potato has been
boiled without its jacket, and this differ

why The pralrles. are .rreelsss.


1t is the opinion Of Mr.. Thomas
Meehan that we have nearly reached
the solution of the cause Of the absence
of trees on the prairies. II is not cli-
matte for timber belts to flourish in all
the prairie regions. 1t is not in the condi-
lions Of the soil, for the prairie soil is
the most favorable to the termination
Of seeds Of trees, as well as Of other
lants, and artificial plantations are re-
arkably successful wherever they are
-1ade. The real cause is probably to be
l ound in the annual fires which have
wept over the prairies from time i'm
4 F-iemorial, killing the young trees before
they can grow large enough to resist
the heat. The seeds of the annual
plants Of the prairie vegetation matur-
ing every year, are shed, and find pro-
tection before the fires come; the young
trees, on the other hand, bear no seed,
and leave no resource for a succession
after they are burned. This theory is
supported by the fact that an abund-
ant growth of trees have set in wherver
5the fires have stopped. The fires were
made by the aboriginies for centuries
before the white men came, possibly
for the express purpose, Mr.. Meehan
suggests, Of preventing the growth Of
trees and preserving the buffalo pastures.
The question remains how the prairies
first came to be naked. They probably
formed the bottoms of the lakes and
marshes that were left after the retreat
of the glaciers, and continued wet after
the highlands were covered with trees.
Man followed the glaciers SO closely
that he anticipated the trees on spots
and having learned already in southern
ATTITUDES the value of burning them,
began before the trees gained foothold.
