THE FIRST IRISH POTATOES.
slr Walter Raleigh Planted Thorn Near
Cork. but tho pcnnln Ecared Them.

Slr Walter Raleigh Planted Thorn Near
Cork, but tho People Feared Them.
Sir Walter Raleigh was an unprin-
clpled adventurer and failed as an ad-
ministrator and colonizer. but he had
most commendablc taste for planting
and gardening, and i'll these branches
of effort his influence remains potent.
Three hundred years have passed since
bo lived i'll Ireland, in the county of
Cork, on the vast estate which had been
bestowed upon him, but the yellow wall
flowers which he brought to Ireland
from the Azores still flourish and bloom
i'll the very spot where he planted them.
Near by, at Youghal, near Cork, OH
tho shores of tho Blackwater estuary,
stands tho Atfane cherry which he
planted. Some cedars which he brought
to Cork are still growing at place
called Tivoli. Four yew trees, whose
branches have grown and interlaced
into sort of summer house, arc point
ed out as having sheltered Raleigh when
he first smoked tobacco i'll his garden at
Youghal.
Raleigh tried to make tobacco grow
in Great Britain, but the climate was
not found suitable to it. Ho succeeded,
however, by introducing the habit of
smoking it, in making it grow in plenty
in other places.
More important to the world than the
spot where Raleigh sat and smoked his
Indian weed is another spot in his gar
den at Myrtle Grove, i'll this same
Youghal. This spot is still bounded by
the town wall of the thirteenth century.
1t was here that Raleigh first planted a
curious tuber brought from America,
which thrOve vastly better than his to-
bacco plants did.
This tuber Raleigh insisted was good
to eat, though common report for long
timo pronounced it poisonous. Some
roots from his vines ho gavo to other
land owners in Munster. They cult
waited them and spread them abroad
from year to year.
This plant was the Irish potato. Be-
fore many generations it became the
staple food of the Irish people--almost
the only food of a great many of them.
1t was the Irish potato" which
came back to America and became the
groundwork, so to speak, of the Amer
iC"H ldtlier anu WorklhSnan daily
breakfast and dinner. Sir Walters
curious experiment in accumulation
became an economic step of the very
first consequence, and the spot at You
ghal which was its scene deserves mark
ing with monument much more than
do the places where tho blood of men
has been shed in battle. Youth S Com

l wonder whether il is true that the late
dowager duchess of Montrose was the III
tied woman who, many years ago, became
infatuated with James Buchanan during
his service as minister to England and
wanted to marry him, says a writer in
Kate Fields Washington. Such an cpl
sode did occur in Mr.. Buchanan's career
as minister. and the match would un-
doubtedly have been made but for the op-
position of the lady's relations, who could
not bear the idea of her marrying an
American and man of the people. Her
Identity was never positively known to
the public, but the duchess was always
suspected. Possibly what led to this no.
ton about her was her well known sym
pathy with commons The lower classes
in England were never tired of showing
their liking for her in spite of their hatred
for the nobility generally. Curiosity once
impelled her to take a look at one of the
the great socialist demonstrations in
Hyde park. On arriving there she was in
stantly approached by number of
roughs, who proceeded to give her some
good-natured advice. Now, your grace,
don't stay here. Go home and take care

cnttnn seed for Hora.

A correspondent Of the Charleston News
and Courier. who is evidently well inform
ed as TO the relative values Of foods for
animals. and has been making expert
ments in the subject he discusses. asserts
that cotton seed is an excellent food for
hogs. He feeds the seed in combination
with potatoes or corn. obtaining the bet
ter results with the corn combination The
meat from hogs so fed is firm and sweet,
and the hrmness Of the lard. according
10 his experience. is not impaired
This matter is Of interest TO the whole
cotton-plauting country. If cotton seed
can be probably turned into hog products,
then an avenue Of escape from the cotton
oil trust may be opened for the cotton
planter. Instead OF selling his cotton
seed for the price dictated by the trust.
he may turn it into bacon and lard and
defy the trust The correspondent has
an abiding belief that every bushel of
cotton seed, II used as a stock food. is
worth as much to the farmer who pro-
duces it as half bushel Of corn, and that
il is only question of how to mix with
other available food stuffs so as to secure
10 the cotton farmer the full value of
this much neglected but most valuable
by-product."
That estimate. at the present price of
corn, would make the cotton seed worth
as a food for hogs in the neighborhood
Of 80 cents per bushel The hull of the
seed. the correspondent says. may be
used as food for hogs. though he does
not advise that. He gives the nutritive
ratio of whole seed as zone to nine and
two-tenths with a money value, considered
as food when corn is selling for 60 cents
per bushel. of s1OS per 100 pounds. while
places their nutritive ratio at one to TWEEN
ty-four. with a money value of only 10
cents per 100 pounds" The seed hulls may
be fed more profitably to ruminants-cat-
tie and sheep-if the planter desires to
turn the oil into money. The hulls. for
such animals, are estimated to be worth
one-fourth the price of timothy hay. The
seed hulls are not so good for hogs be-
cause they are mot adapted to the d.
gestive operations OF hogs with their
small single stomachs and great length
of several intestines adapted by nature
to concentrate food"
This matter is one that might profitably
have the attention of farmers and of the
agricultural department of the state of
Georgia.
