Curious Superstitions Regarding the

Curious Superstitions Regarding the
Influenne Of the Elder.
Country people speak Of the elder
tree as 'The witches Tree" and plant
1t near farm buildings and diaries to
keep off witches. They also say that
the roots should never come near q
well, still less grow into 1t, or the
water will b espoilt. Evelyn's opinion
was also unfavorable. He says: Il
do by no means commend the scent Of
1t which is very noxious to the air.
I'VE learn from Biesius that a cer.
tain house in Spain, seated among
many elder trees, diseased and killed
nealy all It's inhabitants, which, when
at last they were grubbed up, became
a very healthy and wholesome place.
Cattle scarcely touch the elder, and
the mole is driven away by the scent
Carriers often place branches on their
horses heads to keep off flies. Nothing
will grow well in the company Of the
elder, and when 1t has been removed
and all It's roots carefully grubbed up
It is some few years before the ground
becomes perfectly sweet and good
for anything.
The berries, besides feeding the
birds. make excellent country wine.
delicious with soda water in summer
or taken hot in winter; the wood Is
particularly good for skewers and the
curious Jews red fungus grows on
elder stumps. A species Of elder in the
Tyrol is covered with beautiful scarlet
berries.
