The Potato ('amine.
Till; POTATO has bttoine a
IttMiry, a prohibitive one al
most to tluisu who mi1 nol
lirepaird to pay a fumy
price ror an article ot dietary which In
other years was Invariably a veiy
abundant tuber in our local niaiket,
Potatoes have reached the unprece
dented figure ot a dollar a bushel or
something over a cent a pound, while
the supply even at that pilio barely
lynches the demand. Nor Is there any
probability that potatoes shall become
mote plentiful or cheaper. If the as
sertions of local fanners arc to b"
trusted, the (Urtntlly ot potatoes on
hand is comparatively 10 small thai
before tho new crop Ik In slghl thej
may teach anywhere from a dollar and
a half to two dollars a bushel. Tin
leld throughout the entire country
has been abnormally shut t, so that we
en 11 look for no relief from importation
Mom oilier p.uts. And to add to our
(tilluary diseonillluie in tills particular,
potatoes are poor in (juallty as well as
exceptionally scarce. They me watery
and small, having the porosity ot a
spunge anil the laste of a raw cucum
ber, when Hrst taken fiom the pot. and
they do not Imptove with keeping
This serious diminution hi the supply
of potatoes will appeal to some people
as little shoit of a domestic calamity.
A dinner without potatoes, they rea
son and believe, is 110 dinner at all.
They have become so accustomed to
the esculent, either by hereditary habi
tude 01 llnougli custom, that the fact
is Ignored that ninety per cent, of the
finest and driest potatoes that it Is
possible to raise is pure water, that
of tilt; ten per cent, of nutriment
which a potato contains, (He consists
of staieh ami the lemainlng con
stituents of chemical combinations
which if not actually poisonous, as one
of them at least is. are highly Indiges
tible. That is the potato as it is. It
Is no exaggeration to say that it is ths
most innutritions article of food that
1 oines to the table of the poor or rich.
Its mil recommendation is that It is
tasteless and a tasteless food does nol
pall on the palate. A meat eating peo
ple find that a root like the potato
satislies ali the ieiiiirenients of an
ailment complementary 'to the high
ly luscious and nutritious llesli which
they consume in large, perhaps on the
whole, in too huge quantities. Then
is no other cultivated root which sat
isfies this condition so well and on the
whole so cheaply and agreeably as the
potato. Hut it by no means follows
that we should make a fetish of the
potato like the Indians made of maize.
There is no reason why, when potatoes
reach a dollar a bushel or more, that
we should lament the fact, or submit
to the extortion of 1 ustoni combined
with ignorance.
Ilre.id Is almost as tasteless as the
potato, il It is well made bread. It is
pre-eminently wholesome and nutri
tious, which cannot be said of the po
tato. A pound of bread costs only a
few cents. A pound of bread. It Is safe
to say, will go as tar at an ordinary
dinner table as twenty pounds of
soggy potatoes, the most wasteful of
loocls. It is equally important in this
1 risis to bear in mind that once bread
lakes the place of the potato for a
week or two, the latter is not seriously
missed.
The potato lauiiue will come as a
blessing in disguise, If the housekeeper
learns lo avoid tlie temptation of hail
ing the tanner as lie lordly passes by
with his dollar a bushel potatoes, and
turns to the slul'f of life, la name and
icallty, food lit for a piince mid the
gift of tlie gods,
