POTATOES.

Upon the advantages Of cniirafing POTATOES IN
comparison 1eith that Of 7ohedt, the .toloa0ing
extract as made from On article zsritten by Dr.
ICES
In good season an acre of suitable
land well cultivated will produce 400
bushels of potatoes. In Woodbridge,
a town adjoining New Haven, a crop of
500 bushels ofpotatoes has been obtained
from a single acre. "A bushel of pota-
toes weighs So pounds. Multiply 400,
the number OF bushels, by Sc, the weight
Of single bushel, gives 22,4oo, the
number of pounds OF potatoes produced
upon one acre.
Thirty bushels of wheat are consider
ed good crop as the produce OF one
acre OF land. About five-sixths of wheat
may be considered as nutritious matter.
According to the experiments of Drs.
Pearson and Einhoff, about one-third OF
the potatoes is nutritious matter. From
the analysis of Einhof, 1850 parts of
potatoes afford l,l53 parts of starch
fbrous matter analogous to starch $40
parts-albumen 10Y parts-mucilage
3l2 parts. The sum of these products
amounts to about one-third of the pota-
toes subject to the experiment.
Sir Humphrey Davy observes, that
one-fourth Of the weight of potatoes, at
least, may be considered as nutritious
matter.
One-fourth Of 22,4oo, the product of
an acre of ground, cultivated with pota
toes, is 5000 The whole weight Of a
crop of wheat calculated at so bushels
to the acre, and at 60 pounds to the bush
ell, gives 1900. Deducting one-sixth
from the wheat as amatter not nutritious,
and the weight is reduced to 1900.
The nutritious mater Of the crop Of
potatoes to that of wheat is as $500 to
1900, or as Sc to IS.
The starch might be obtained by a
very simple machine, recommended by
Parmentier; and in seasons when pota-
toes are abundant, the potatoes might
be converted into starch, and the starch
preserved for any length of time, and
used as asubstitute for wheaton flour.
The machine alluded to is cylinder
of wood about three feet long, and six
inches in diameter, covered with sheet
tin, punched outward, so as to form
coarse crater, and turned by crank.
This cylinder is placed in box of boards
whose sides slope little inwards upon
the principle of a hopper, and tub of
water is placed beneath. The potatoes.
are thrown into this box, and as the,
crank is turned they are crushed, and
the starch or fecula subsidies to the bot
tom of the water. 1t is well knownthat
potatoes are largely used in England.
mixed with -four, and form very good
bread; the starch of the potatoe would
OF course answer much better. !
