THE POTATO

The potato, thought of as an Am
 erican product is native to the An
 dean region of South America, where it was cultivated by the
 Incas, long before the discovery of
 America. It was first brought to
 Europe by the sphniards, and was
 iR.roduced into Ireland, where it
 was grown so extensively that 1t
 is commonly called the Irish pota-
 to. Its culture spread rapidly oV-
 CT Italy, Spain Netherlands, and
 Germany long before the sixteenth century. Sir John Hawkins is re- spongible for it's introduction into
 England, which was one of the last
 countries to consider it. The pota-
 to was formerly very small but by cultivation has been enlarged very
 much. It consists of a woody f1pre' water, starch, volatile oil, albumen'
 mineral matter an alkaIoid. It is all annual pint with large stems growing from one to three feet in height. The leaves are point ed and flowers are of vaNegated color. Some species bear a frube
 somewhat larger than a gooseberry, which contain a number oE small
 seeds. The tubers are the Valu- able part of the plant and grow underground on slender leatless
 shoots or branches, that are differ
 cut in character from the tree roots. The value of the tuber depends largely upon the starch and other matters stored in It. These are usually twenty per cent
 or starch, five per cent of woody matter, four per cent of sugar, gum albumin, casein, gluten, and other \ substances, and about seYenty-one per cent water. The composition o1 food value of raw and cooked pota-
 toes each containing certain per cents of H-2 o, Protein, Fats, Car
 bony drate and salts, and having refuse also. Early species Of pota' 4 tees mature but tubers may bt 1 utilized in about six weeks after Aplanting. Some kinds require long \ CT time, but this depends on thu 1 so l and climate. The yield i l from 25 to 300 bushels per acre 4 Germany exceeds all countries il 3 the production of potatoes. som' 5suecies of potates are, The Burbanl aWhite Star, Early Rose, and man others. The potatoes up to thu 9 eighteenth century were considere' H as food for cattle, but are now on' I of the most valuable pro {ducts known. People of Eng land woul wear the blossoms fo a button hole bouquet. If an

Near the top of the Ruthton grade,
the horse refused to bulge. Under
the weight of the heavy load he was
taking intermittant backward steps,
and finally the wagons rear wheels
rested against a bank at the roadside.
After waiting patiently for the pass
age of some good Samaritan driver,
the boys for time were nonplussed.

fallen over the side of a fiume that
passes by the roadside to the planer.
young Leslie was quick to put into ex-
execution his thoughts. He was pos
sessed of stubby pencil. Picking up
piece of paper on the road be wrote :

The note, tied with a handkerchief
to the piece of slabwood was soon in
the hands of men at the planer receiv-
ing lumber from the mill. The quar-
ter of a mile distance was soon trav-
ersed by the Howard lads father, and
Tom" and the load of wood were
assisted to the top of the steep hill.
