That* of the Potato.
,
No Negetable is need so widely or
SO.commonly as the. potato. • But it
has been a long time in winning. its
iray to favor, and has been steadily
improved in quality by culture. Tins
' article, of such - general use as food,
was originally found some-where in
South America, and the poorest,
knottiest, most waterly potato [we
ever saw find its way into the dinner
kettle, was probably better than the
Original seed potato that was taken
to Europe Among other curiosities
of vegetation in the New World.
The first mention we find of the
potato is in the writings of a Ger
man botaill4 named elusions, in
1588. Two had been sent from
Flanders, and he made a plate of the
"rare ,plant" for his book. It was
over a hundred and fifty years after
this _that it began to be planted for
food in ' Switzerland. Everywhere it
met with the greatest opposition, jest
all the benefactions of the world,
either m nal or physical, always have.
Philanthropists strove to explain its
advantages o the common people
but they were hooted at if not stoned:
Fields planted with them had to be
carefully watched at night, or all the
plants would be destroyed.
The people of Ireland fought very
,hard against its introduction among
them, whereas, it is now so much
their mainstay - that their country has
given it its name.—lt is said that a
gentleman in France hit on a novel
plan for introducing them --into his
section of country. He planted a
field and put posters all about, pro
hibiting people • from stealing them
under heavy> penalties, yet every
chance was given to steal them; and
when harvest time name the field
had been-preety •throughly harvest
ed. The result'was that next year
there were a g reat many little gar
den patches o potatoes about. The
people had found out what they
were. ,
And yet, when we are told how
they were fl'rst prepared for food,
it is to be wondered at that they ever
did beconie Popular. One writer
speaks of tha potato - as a "vegetable
mrch like the Jerusalem artichoke,
but not so good nor wholesome,"
and that they Wereio be roasted-and
sliced, and eaten with a sauce of
wine and sugar. And we can imag
ine_' what an unenviable article of
foo it was in those: primitive days,
when we reflect what it was fifty
years ago, and contrast that with
I.IOW - . —Many improvements have
been made in it :
.What would we have said in oar
boyish days to have had a dish of
watery melons, or_ "long toms," as
they,,were vulgularly called, replac
ed by a savory, mealy dish of the
early4ose of to-day ? The use of the
potatb in Europe is now quite gen
eral. It is cultivated in almost every
clitua.te except the far northern.
,It
thrives in the dreary regions of
.Sweden, and has been a wonderful
blessing to the European countries;
which befOre its genekal use,were
often swept bydrea . dful famines.
Cnau GATE.—TIao old
.practice
of building farm cafes with heavy
four -by-dour-=scantlin g for posts and
end pieces, and i oark boards riveted
together, tenoii - O - cl etc, causing an
expense of.from three to five 'dollars
a gate, and an everlasting trouble to
keep the gate when thing from sag
ging, I long since abandoned. As a
substitute, and as forming .a gate
that has never sagged for ten years.
I took five pieces of inch boards ; each
ten feet long, one eight inches
wide fOr the bottom strip, and each
of the other four inches wide. I then
take ode piece four inches wide for
• cue end upright, and one piece eight
inches wide for the end piece where
" the hinges ought to be. These strips
are Ifoiir feet long, that being high
enough. for - my _gate for ordinary
purposes. Now lay down . your end
preces, then place the -eight-inch
wide and ten-foot-long strip for the
bottom,/nail it at each end to the
upright with wrought nailsl'.. now
take three of the • four - inch' wide
stripsand lay them On parallel with
the bottom one, dividing the space
'so as to leave four inches between
the lower two boards, and six inches
space between the upper oneS ; nail
as. before. Nov turn the gAti3 oVer,
and take, tale.. remaining strw, lay
it at an angle froni the bottbm, at
the 'hinge .end to -- the top at the
latch end ; cut it so that it iwill fit
in and:lap close to. the long strips :
nail it. Now - ha4g - the gate with
strong hinges, and you have a gate
• that is light, and will not sag, ,and
_ .
just as perfect protection - lagainst cat
tle as one made by the joiner, •and
costing, as named above, from three
. to five dollars. •Any person can putt
together and hang the above named
.gate in two hours. • •
WIIIP .T11.E.11-AGAlN.—There lived in
the Valley of Virginia. during our
late war, a very worthy old gentle
man who was a justice of the peace,
and distinguished for his devotion to
the Confederate cause. Through eve
ry hour of darkness or sunshine, he
held to the conviction that the Con
' federacy could not fail ; that it was
founded on principles as solid as . ,. the
bases of the eternal hills, end_ Must
.prevail. Ho was in the habit :of go
ing j to the post office, a few miles
from his house, to get mails and hear
news from the war. On such occa
sions,
the postmaster, would ask his
opinion of the situation, and have
himself fortified by the, old Squire's
hopeful Views..., .Finally, however,
about the close of the war, the news
became woise_and worse, till at last
the intelligence of the surrender ar
rived.. This sad tale having been re
cited to the old Squire, he took ei
seat and assumed a thoughtful atti
tude. The postmaster then began te
interrogate him :
"Well, Squire, things are looking
very dark." -
" Yes," replied the old gentlernati,,.
" very black indeed—very black."
"What'will become of us ?" asked
the postmaster; " what shall we do ?"
Well," said the old Squire, after
drating a long breath, - " I don't see
anything left us except to go back in
.te the Union, and if those Yankees
don't behave themselves we must
whip them again!" '
FEED, FROM As' Aenz .— A pair of
farm horses will consume in a year
6 tons of hay and 270 bushels of
rats, their daily ration being .18
pounds of hay and 12 pounds for
each. It will take 14 to 1.6 acres of
average Land to raise this' amount of
fodder. A cow rill consumd 18
pounds of hay and C pt, Inds of r . .
razal daily, equal to 3i tow. v i hay
au& 40 bmhols tif•corn, alvaring for
toll for grinding it, per year. This
will require about 4 acres of average
land.. One acre of good Corn land
Will produce enough oda and stalks
to keep. a co* .dribg a yar. This
est whicA -is deduced from
Etractioe, accords ehiewhere, as gath
ered from statistics, which prove that
eight acres of land Are needed to
support a horse during a year in
Belgium and Holland -- countries
which, as regards the supply of food,
are self-sustaining. There would be
no practical difference between the
crops mentioned- and others that
might be chosen, for-the reason that
more prolific cows required svelter
amount to be consumed to . yield an
equal sustenance, with less prolific,
but more nutritious crops. The
most economical single crop to rase
for feeding Mira* is corn, when
the whold stalks are well cured and
properly used.--N. Y. fThibune.
