IMPORTANCE OF POTATO.
Not Only Valuable as Food But Has
Manufacturing Value as Well.

The potato is one Of the most i'm
portant food products of the civilized
world. With history dating back but
little more than 800 years, it shows in
that brief time a record of develop
ment unequaled by any other agricul-
tural plant. Originally native of
the mountainous tropic and sub-tropic
regions of America, it was taken to
Europe by the Spaniards early in the
sixteenth century, and while it did not
become popularized there so rapidly
as here, it has during the last cen
fury become staple and almost in
dispensable food with most European
peoples.
Nor is it important alone as food
necessity, for during the past SO years
vast developments have been made,
especially in France and Germany, in
the manufacture from the potato of
starch for technical and commercial
purposes and in the production Of al
cohol for light, power and fuel. In
deed in some European states the ma
tional policy is to encourage the man.
ufacture of commercial alcohol from
such sources as these in order that
these countries may escape to some
extent the importation of petroleum
upon which good many of them now
depend for light and power purposes.
1t might be interesting in this con-
nection to note that in 1905 Germany
devoted SO per cent. of her potato crop
to this purpose. That is to say, 700,-
900, 900 bushels of potatoes, more than
twice as many as were produced on
the whole continent of North Amer
lea, were used by these people in
1905 for the production of commercial
starch and alcohol.
Potato growing takes rank right
among the big agricultural industries
of the present day. Pound for pound
the civilized races, consume more po-
tatoes each year than they consume
Of any other agricultural product
whatsoever.-H. B. Smith, at Ontario
Institute.

Roadway. Thunder Cape is lighted up

East of here along the Canadian

"The aim in making a road is to es-

that they should be properly located
so that their grades shall be such that
loaded vehicles may be drawn over
them without great loss of energy;
that they should be properly con-
structed, the roadbed graded, shaped
and rolled; and that they should be
surfaced with the best available mate
rial suited to their needs.
1T is to be hoped that all the heavy
traffic roads in the United States can
be macadamized, graveled, or other
wise improved in the not far distant
future; but owing to the absence in
many places of rock, gravel, or other
hard and durable substances with
which to build good roads, and by rea-
son OF the excessive cost of such roads
where suitable material is scarce the
majority of our public highways will
of necessity be composed of earth for
many years to come. 1t is fortunate,
therefore, that under favorable condi-
tons of traffic, moisture, and mainten-
ance the earth road is the most elas-
tic and most satisfactory for pleas
ure and for light traffic. The condi-
ton of the common roads in this coun-
try. especially in the middle west. is
SO deplorable at certain seasons of the
year as to operate as complete en-

RURAL ROADS.
Drainage Is the Key to Success in
Earth Road Making.

drainage is the key to success in
making earth roads, and constant
watchfulness is the sure means of
keeping them up after they are once
we'll made" says Prof. Eldridge of the
department of agriculture. Water is
destructive to any road, especially to
dirt road, therefore, drainage that
will at once carry away rainfall or
melting snow is absolutely necessary.
Again, little breaks in the road may
be made by rain or by a heavy load at
any time, and If not repaired immedi-
ately will grow into mud holes, espe-
cially in tile winter, and these mud
holes easily and rapidly develop into
an almost impossible mire. But fire.

The MANGO.

Perhaps no fruit of the tropics is
more often discussed than the mango,
some persons being exceedingly fond
Of this juicy, aromatic fruit, while
others are as outspoken in their dis
like. There are countless varieties of
the mango, and many of them have a
rank turpentine-like flavor and are
very fibrous. These qualities are not
apparent, however, in the best varie-
ties, which are of a very delicate fla
vor and very palatable. The fruit is
cooked in a variety of ways, being a
staple article of diet in the tropics,
and is also eaten fresh. Some difficulty
is experienced in shipping mangoes,
as the flesh is very juicy and tender,
but they are occasionally found in
market at least as far north as Wash
ingtOn.-C. F. Longworth.

st. Petersburg, Sept. 12.-The city
of st. Petersburg has jumped to first
place among the cholera-infested cen
ters in Russia. The disease already
has gained a foothold in all quarters
of the city. There have been 16 new
cases and three deaths up to noon
Friday. This gives a total of 6S cases
for three days.
The municipality has placed the
sum of $21,5 500 at the immediate dis

stations, but vaccination is unpopular
and only $50 persons have submitted
thereto.

ment that there have been 10 deaths
from Asiatic cholera in ST. Peters
burg has caused a disagreeable
shock throughout eastern Prussia and

border. The news has brought out
quieting declaration to the public
from the Prussian ministry of health,
in which it is said that every arrange
ment has been made for dealing with
the cholera should it cross the Ger
man frontier.
Although the disease is widely
spread in Russia, the type does not
appear to be virulent and there have
been comparatively few deaths. The
government has proclaimed quaran-
tine on all Russian vessels arriving at
German ports from St. Petersburg,
krOnstadt and the Black sea.
