Introduction of the Potato.

The potato has been in cultivation in
civilized countries for less than 400
years, says a recent writer. 1t was
brought over to Europe by the Spanish
when they were colonizing America. in
1855. 1t was introduced into ireland
in 1855 or 1856 by Sir Walter Raleigh,
when some of his colonists were return.
ing 20 Ireland from California or Vir-
ginia, after which it was used by tbs
poorer class of the Irish as one of their
articles OF diet. But it was not until
tie latter part of the eighteenth CEN
fury that the potato came into gen.
eral use; that is. about $50 years ago.,
anG the great acreage devoted to this
crop to day has been developed since

gut of line. Setting out stakes before
hand will not answer, since each stake
must be taken up in order TO dig a hole.
An excellent plan is shown in the cut.
Set out small stakes in the exact spot
where each tree is to stand. Make a
light tripod, as is shown in the cut,
with a cord and weight. arranged as
shown. Set the tripod over the stake
SO that the weight at the end of the
cord will be exactly over the stake.
Now pull up the stake and dig the hole
for the tref, without moving the tri-
pod. Set the tree so that when the
weight is lowered it will touch the
trunk. In this way every tree will
stand finally in the Tact position of
the row of stakes first set out.-Amer-

I IN CELLARS.
Rotting Vegetables and Fruits Pre-
dace CarbOnic Gas, a Deadly
Disease Breeder.

Says j. :. II. Gregory, the well-known
scotsman and vegetable grower: "A
cellar may be more valuable than the
building which stands on it when the
farmer has learned just how to control
its temperature and dryness for the
best keeping of mis- vegetables"
Cellars hav< generally been found to
be unhealthy. Vegetables are frequent
" left over to rot. While rotting. ear
bonic acid gas is formed. This gas is
heavier than common air, and settles
to the bottom of the cellar. 1t is very
unhealthy, and people when entering
the cellar are liable to breathe it. If
sufficiently pure and breathed alone it
would soon cause death. In a section
much affected with a malignant fever
it was found that in every ease where
the fever prevailed there was a cellar,
while the houses where there wers
no cellars were generally exempt.
Where cellars are thus used a COW
cred drain of proper size leading out
ward from the bottom of the cellar
should be constructed. The construc-
ton should be such that the drain can
be opened and closed at pleasure. By
opening occasionally the foul air can
be drained off. 1t is, however, believed
that the better plan will be to abandon
the cellar altogether. A house of prop
er size can be constructed with q
double floor and double walls from
8 TO IL feet apart. Fill between
the walls with sawdust or fine earth.
Double doors should be constructed,
one in either end, say. 5x2Hs feet. The
inner door may be constructed to slide.
Houses constructed as above gave en-
tire satisfaction and were free from
the deleterious effects of carbonic acid
gas-Rryan Tyson, in Farm and Home.

HOW TO SIT AND HOW TO
STAND.

TO sit gracefully is an art to be
strongly desired. To..drop into seat
and hold it without awkwarlness re-
quires practice, also strong, elastic
muscles in the legs and waistline. To
few people is given this control of
the muscles, but the majority of us
have to learn it. We have all to re-
member that unless the body is elasti-
cally supported at the centre no posi-
tion can be graceful.
The art of rising gracefully is quite
an important as that of sitting easily.
The action should be confined to the
lower limbs and the flexible muscular
uplifting of the body at the ribs. This
is done by drawing the feet back to-
ward the seat, bending the body for
ward, with the head thrown back, un-
til the eight is over the centre of the
body, with forcible pressure on the
ground with the muscles of the feet,
accompanied by an uplifting Of the
body and Strengthening of the knee.
The proper way to stand and offer
the hand in greeting is to hold the
body erect and easy, carry the right
hand forward in circle toward the
left side, with the palm upward and
parallel with the upper chest. Stand
upon the left foot, bearing the weight
upon it. Have the right foot free and
slightly backward Don't stand with
the feet far apart or the elbows

Witch Killing-If horses are so badly

will deprive the witch of her power:
Take the dead horse out into field
and burn the carcass beside tree.
First cut cross in the tree, then drive
nail in the cross. Now take your
rife, which must be loaded with a sill
yer bullet, choose a position so that
the horseis between you and the tree,
and shoot over the fire at the
nail. When you hit the nail, the
witch will lose her power, and you
cannot miss with the silver bullet.
To Sell Oneself to the Devil-Go to
the crossroads at midnight alone and
play on the banjo. IT, you really want
to sell yourself, two black dogs will ap-
pear and will dance as you play. Then
you promise something fearful, Any
