Potato History.

Potatoes, native to Peru, were dis
covered by the Spaniards in the neigh
borhood Of Quito, where they were
cultivated by the natives Condor, a
monk, first introduced them into Spain,
whence they passed into Italy and
thence to Belgium. Humboldt says that
at the discovery they were cultivated in
all the temperate parts Of the continent
from Chill to New Granada, but not in
Mexico In 1885 potatoes were taken
from North Carolina and Virginia, on
the return of the colonists sent out by
Sir Walter Raleigh, and were first cul
tiVated on his estate near Cork. The
sweet potatoes. native Of the West In
dies, were given to Columbus by the
natives Of Cuba. They were introduced
into England by Sir Francis Drake,
VINO wrote of them in praise, but forgot
to send instructions to eat only the root.
The gardener Of Queen Elizabeth
planted them, and ate some of the tops,
Being disgusted by the taste, he pulled
up his crop, made fire Of the pile, was
attracted by the pleasant odor of the
burning tubers, picked up a root, ate it,
and, being pleased with the taste, contin-
ued the cultivation and introduced them
to the notice of others.-Calvin Dill Will
son, in November Lippincott's.

There can be no doubt that every farm
In the country is continually suffering a
loss OF production by reason OF its own
er's falling short In coming up to this
most rigid Of natures requirements. This
law Is absolute In it's operation, and the
farmer is necessarily loser to the extent
to which he goes in infringing upon 1t.
But In order the more effectually to en-
force her dictum in such matters nature
has placed other obstacles in the way Of
those who ignOrantly or Willfully ignore
her laws. Thus, for instance, the farmer
who runs his fields long to corn invites
serious trouble with the corn root louise;
the chinch bug suggests that the farmer
had better put corn where thesmall grain
was before. The cut worm is an evil of
the came sort, and so we might mention
a score of such warnings to the farmer
which say, you can go thus far but no
farther. Many Of the weed pests are to
be classed in the same list. If the farmer
will keep them in a state Of subjugation
so that crop raising is profitable he must
continually change his crops from one
field to another. It would seem a simple
lesson to learn, but host Of farmers
fail to act upon 1t.

sABps SMOOTH, FAIR SKIN

A Grateful Mother Writes this Letter
Tells all about Her Troubles when
Baby Broke out with serofula Sores.
CAT the age of two months, my baby
began to have sores break out on his right
cheek. We used all the external ap-
plications that we could think or hear Of,
to no avail. The sores spread all over one
side of his face. We consulted a physi-
clan and tried his medicine, and in week
the sore was gone. But to my surprise in
two weeks more another scrofulous look
ing sore appeared on baby's arm. It
grew worse and worse, and when he was
three months old, began giving him
Hoods Sarsaparilla. also took Hoods
SarsaparilIa, and before the first bottle
was finished, the sores were well and have
never returned. He is now four years old,
but he has never had any sign Of those
scrofulous sores since he was cured by
Hoods Sarsaparilla, for which feel very
grateful. My boy owes his good health
and smooth, fair skin to this great med.
icine." MRS. 8. s. WRoTEN, Farming

Kafir Corn for Cattle.

At the State Agricultural college the
men in charge have made some tests
with Kafnr corn as food for cattle. They
got three lots of cattle as near alike in
every particular as possible. To one lot
they fed corn, to the second red Kafiir
corn, to the third white Kaffir corn. The
feed was ground for each lot, and to each
the same weight of feed was given each
day. On the average in lot 1 it took 9.97
pounds of corn and $50 pounds of rough
ness to make a pound of beef. In lot 2
it took 1886 pounds of red Kaffir corn
and 6.SS pounds of roughness to make a
pound of beef. In lot it took 10.41
pounds of white Kaffir corn and 6.92
Of rOughness to make pound of beef.
The average daily gain per head on corn
was 1876 pounds; on red Kaffir corn LII
on white Kaffir corn 1.7S pounds. Each
lot was fed 16 pounds of grain day
for each head and they were given all the
fodder they wanted. 1t shows that Kaffir
corn is nearly as good feed for cattle as
Indian.

Necessity for Crop Rotation.

What is often spoken of as worn-out
land is land that has been run long
time to one crop so that its capacity for
producing that particular crop is sen-
ously impaired. In n broader sense the
land is not worn out, for If turned over
to the production Of crops of different
character it readily manlfests it's old
time productiveness. This creates the
demand for crop rotation, and the man
who fails to recognize this demand fails
at the most vital point In crop culture.

Tenant Farming in Texas.

A Dallas, Tex, dispatch dated the 7th
inst. says: THE question of having the
system of money rents abolished Is be-
coming quite an issue among the tenant
farmers of Texas. Meetings have been
held in various parts of the State to de-
nounce and condemn this custom, and in
many localities organized bands Of
whitecappers have taken the matter in
charge, threatening to wreak vengeance
upon all who oppose them. The largest
recent meeting of farmers was that held
at Taylor, Williams county, last night
Over 800 prominent agriculturists were
in attendance. The trend of the discus
sion was that the interests Of tenants
and landlords are identical, that the sue
cess of the tenant working on the sys-
tenn of one-fourth of the cotton and one
third Of the corn means success for the
landlord and the merchant, while the
money rent system at S4 cash per acre
meant distress and poverty for the ten

Fertilizers for the Orchard.

At a recent annual meeting of the
Indiana Horticultural Society a paper
read by Mr.. w. w. Stevens on "The
Feeding and Care of Orchards" con-
tanned many valuable thoughts. AS to
the relation between fertility Of soil of
the best crops, he said that when a bear
ing orchard begins to decline In the
quality Of fruit, lack Of fertility is indi-
Gated. Orchards should be fed before
the fertility is exhausted and the trees
become stunted. It is simple matter
to understand, that orchards must be
fertilized for precisely the same reason
that our grain fields and gardens are
manured. The fruit removes the phos-
phoric acid, nitrogen and potash from
the soil just the same as cereals and
root crops do, and we must keep lib
eral supply of available plant food in the
soil for the orchard if we expect profit
able returns. In fact, it is more neces-
sary to fertiliZe the orchard than it is
our grain fields for the reason that on
most farms much of the grain produced
is consumed by stock and through the
manure heap finds it's way back to the
land, while there is little or nothing that
goes back to the soil from the fruit crop
that is harvested year after year. Why
is il that our orchards are not vigorous
and long-lived as they used to be? 1t is
chiefly because they are starved to death.
Even the new lands we now clear up are
not as rich in vegetable mold. and the
mineral elements of the plant food that
make tree growth as they were a half
century ago. In fact, much of our wood
land is now pastured until it is half
exhausted before the trees are taken off,
or, rather die off.
It requires about the same elements
of plant food to make an apple tree that
it does a pear or peach, but when the
fruits are analyzed we find quite diff
ference in their composition. For ex-
ample: One hundred bushels Of apples
contain l pound phosphoric acid, 10
pounds potash, pounds nitrogen; 100
bushels pears contain about ~ pounds
phosphoric acid, pounds of potash, 5
pounds nitrogen; 100 bushels peaches
contain about 21S pounds phOsphoric
acid, 1S pounds potash, pounds nitro
gen.
Thus we see that potash is the pre-
dominating element in apples and
peaches, while nitrogen leads in pears.
Apples need two and one-half times and
peaches three times as much potash as
pears. 1t would not be good judgment
to use precisely the quantities indicated
in the above table to get an additional
hundred bushels Of fruit. The new wood
growth and foliage must be accounted
for, as we'll as an allowance for some
losses through fermentation, bleaching,
etc. It is also impracticable to distribute
any fertilizer SO perfectly as to bring all

weighed $500 pounds, 1t was said, and
two men were on 1t. The motor was Of
FIVE horsepower, and could draw $500
pounds besides the wagon. It was geared
to run seven and one-half miles an hour,
but, with another gearing, had run
twelve miles an hour. The tank held
four and one-half gallons Of gasoline,
