THE POTATO
The potato, thought of as an Am
erican, product is native to the An
dean region of Soutfy America,
where it was cultivated by the
Incas, long before the discovery of
America, it was first brought to
Europe by the Spaniards, and was
ia'jroducedi into; Ireland, where it
was grown bo extensively that it
is commonly called the Irish1 pota
to.. Its culture spread rapidly ov
er Italy, Spain, Netherlands, and
Germany long before the sixteenth
cantury. Sir John Hawkins is re
sponsible for its iutroductl<m| 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 vory
much. It consists of a woody fibre,
water, Btarcb, volatile oil, albumen,
mineral matter an alkaloid. It is
an arnual pint w:th large Btems
crowing from one tq three feet
in height. The leaves are point
ed and flowers are of variegated
color. Some species bear a fruite
somewhat larger than a gooseberry,
which contain a number of small
seeds. The tubers are the valu
able part of the plant and. grow
underground on slender leafless
shoots or branches, that are differ
ent in character from the tree
roots. The valua of tills tuber
depends largely upon the starch
and other matters Btored in It.
These are usually twenty per cent
o' starch, five Per cent of woody
matter, four per cent of sugar, gum,
albumin, casein, gluten, and other
substances, and about seventy-one
per cent water. The composition of
food value of raw; and cooked pota
toes each; containing certain per
cents of H-2 O, Protein, Fats, Car
boa} drate and salts, and having a
refuse also. Early species of pota
toes mature but tubers may be
utilized in about six weeks after
olar.ting. Some kinds require long
er time, but this depends on the
so 1 and climate. The yield is
from 25 to 300 bushels per acre,
Germany exceeds all countries in
•he production of potatoes. Some
soecies of potates are, Thle Burbank
White Star, Early Rose, and manj
o'bers. The potatoes up) to the
eighteenth} century were considered
as food for cattle, but are now one
of the most valuable. pro
ducts known. People of Eng
land woul wear the blossoms foi
a out ton hole bouquet. If anj
one should sit down to the tabl«
for dinner and not have potatoe«
fixed in any shape or manner
really believe they would not fee
as though it were n. complete meal

She Knew the Answer
AY, Reed," 8aid Higgins as he met a friend, "do you
^ know why you are like a donkey?''
{ "Like a donkey!" echoed Reed thoughtfully. "No,
I don't"
"Because your better half Is stubbornness itself," said
HIgglns.
"That's not bad," said Reed. Til hard to try that on my
) wife when I get home tonight"
Accordingly, when they were at^dinner, JReed asked:
"Annie, do you know why I am(so much like a donkey?"
He waited a moment expecting Mrs. Reed would give it
up; but on the contrary, she gazed, at himi somewhat com
miseratlngly as she replied:
"I suppose because you were born| so."
