With the exception OF bread. the

The name Irish potato is so com

believe it to be a native OF Ireland
It is, however. product OF the new
world, and was found under cultiva-
tion by the natives when America was
discovered, It is believed that pota-
toes were carried from South America
to Spain early in the sixteenth cen
tury and also introduced into Vir-
ginia By the Spanish explorers. His
torians differ as to whom belongs the
credit Of introducing this vegetable
into Great Britain. but the majority
OF them agree that Sir Walter Raleigh

the composition Of the potato that it

exercise and needs much larger pro

The hay is put up into cocks about

the hay caps. The weights that are
attached to the corners of the cap
tend to keep the cloth tight over the

to accomplish this the weights, when
