How Old is the Potato?

The potato was introduced in
Europe from the Western hemis-
phere. History has it that Chris
topher Columbus was the first Eu-
ropean who ever tasted a potato.
It is doubtful if ho ever enjoyed
eating our favorite tuber. At all
events: the vegetable that he ate at
Cuba, in 1892, and brought home
to Genoa, was sweet potato. The
first potato grown East of the
Atlantic Ocean was planted by
Claudius, in the botanical gardens
of Vienna, in 1888. AS is well
known, Sir Walter Raleigh found
the potato in Virginia, and took
specimens back to England. The
original home of the popular tuber
is Chile. Itwas brought North by
the Spaniards.
For many years the potato in
England was looked upon as being
poisonous and unwholesome. This,
perhaps is not to be wondered at,
as it was commonly eaten raw, the
method of cooking it not being

How to Avoid Premature Old
Age.

The following advice is given by
DR.. Benjamin Ward Richardson !:
To subsist on light but nutritious
diet, with milk as the standard
food, but varied according to The
season.
To take food in moderate guam
tity four times in the day, includ-
ing light meal before going to
bed.
oTo Iclothe warmly, but lightly,
SO that the body may in all seasons
maintain its equal temperature.
To keep the body in fair exercise,
and the mind active and cheerful.
To maintain an interest in what
is going OH in the world, and to
take part in reasonable labors and
pleasures as though old age were
not present.
To take plenty of sleep during
sleeping hours. 10 spend nine
hours in bed at least, and to take
care during cold weather that the
temperature of the bedroom ls
maintained at sixty degrees Fab
renheit.
To avoid passion, excitement,
luxury.

known. Gradually its usefulnes

known. Gradually it's usefulness
as a palatable vegetable became
known. A committee of the Royal
Society urged, in 1862, that all the
fellows who possessed land should
"plant potatoes and persuade their
friends to do the same in order to
alleviate the distress that would
accompany a scarcity of food" In
1888 the first field of potatoes was
planted in the lowlands of Scot
land.
AS soon as the people of Ireland
knew how to cook the potato it
quickly became the one leading
vegetable of the land. It's cheap
ness Of cultivation, large yields,
and nutritive qualities made it be-
come immensely popular, and as it
was the chief article of food, it
ere long obtained its present com
mon name-Irisht potato. 1t is
not only of value IS food plant.
The Irish were the first to discover
that whiskey could be made from
it. Starch is made from it for the
Laundry and for the manufacture
of farina. The dried pulp from
which the starch has been extract
ed is used for making boxes. From
the stem and leaves a narcotic is
extracted. III some places cakes
and puddings are made from the
potato -four.

The Chinese tree of heaven,
ailanthus glandulosa, was formerly
a very popular shade tree in the
lighter soils Of this State, but ow-
ing to the anything but paradisical
odor given off by some of these
trees when in bloom it's planting
has been nearly discontinued, says
Gerald Mccarthy, of the North
Carolina experiment station. The
odor, though dlsagreeable, is not
POISONOUS or dangerous. The
ailanthus is deoecious species
the male flowers are borne on one
tree, the female flowers on another.
1t isonly the male flowers that give
off the disagreeable odor. Ignor-
ance of this fact caused the extern
sive planting of the male tree,
with the result indicated. The odor
of the female tree is scarcely per-
ceptiblo. This is one of. the most
graceful and peculiar of our orna-
mental trees. It thrives remarka-
bly, we'll on the poorest and driest
soils; itl of rapid growth and is
not subject to any disease or insect
attack, 30 far as known. The tree
deserves place upon all lawns of
considerable extent, but should
not be planted too near the house
nor bordering a walk. 1t appears
best when seen from a little dis
tance. Trees should be bought
from reliable nurserymen only,
and the female tree alone should
be planted.

A California farmer recently
wrote: "Mind is more than muscle
A mule has four times the muscle
of a man; use the muscle of the
mule. I was in st. Joseph, Mich.
and saw asparagus for sale. One
lot was roughly put up in boxes to
be returned. Another in neat,
white boxes, which did not cost
half of the other, was put up neatly
in bunches, tied by red tape in neat
bows, tied, no doubt by a woman,
and brought 40 per cent. more and
cost less than the other. Curiosity
led me to the home of the man. I
found him doing less hard work
and showing more general pros
perity than his average neighbors.
1 also knew a milk dealer who kept
an account with his COWS, each
having separate account, and the
cow that did not show profit was
sold to the farmer who did not
keep books.

But WHERE'S the somewhere country?
the heaven where sorrows cease?
The place where Jesus dwelleth, His
home of love and peace.
He's King of that fair country, and
Lord of that bright land;
He banisheth all sorrow, with His dear,
loving hand.
Then patiently abide thee; the some

"He's er Seben-'Leben.'

Nashville, Tenn, Oct. 6.


The Supreme Court of the State
of South Carolina has decided in
favor of the djspensary act. 1t is
now declared constitutional. AS
such it will he enforced. 1t is the
duty of the sworn officers of the
law to see that all laws are properly
executed, and that it is the duty of
the people to submit to the powers
that-be, to obey the laws, to stand
for law and order, and in the name
of peace and good will try to pre-
vent violations of the law. 1t may
be, in the opinion of some people,
an obnoxi xious law; it may be N
the opinion of some unWise legis-
lation, and bad law; it may come
in conflict with the tastes and
prejudices of some people; but let
all such remember that it is now
law, it is declared by the highest
court in the State to be constitu-
tional, and as good, law abiding
citizens, we must see that the law
is obeyed and enforced. We hope
that it will be enforced with wis
dom, prudence, and equity. We
hope that the illicit sale of liquor
will cease without the Intervention
of the officers of the law. But if
people will not obey the laws, if
they will persist in carrying on an
illegal traffic, knowing as they do
the consequences, then we shall
expect the appointed officers to do
their duty. Let every officer in
the discharge of his duty exercise
due caution, patience, moderation.
Let Christian people act soberly,
discreetly, and always and under
all circumstances be found on the
side of law and good order.--Bap-
tist Courier.

wise will seed bofore frost destroys
them, wisely advises The American
Cultivator. If the sections devoted
to early and late vegetables are
kept separate the plowing may be-
gin early with the removal,of peas,
beans,i and small early truck. It
may, be nearly November before
cabbage; turnips and other roots
are read be harFs ssted gut.in
every case after plowing, whether
early or late, SOW rye for a winter
covering to the soil. It will not
prevent soil freezing, but rather
make the soil freeze more by keep
ing it from forming a crust, and so
excluding the rains that fall on it.
