AT the present time, when potatoes are scarce
and dear, it will be timely and of great service
if a substitute can be found or if not, what may
technically be called notwithstanding
which will answer in the place ofthis necessary
edible.
We have suggestion TO make, which those
who have to pay six shillings bushel for pota-
toes can improve on if they choose;
Take of good clean wheat, one quart, or two,
according to the size of the family wash it and
soak it over night in cold water-then boil it
from two to three hours, according to the age of
the wheat, in just as little water as will be nee
essary to cook it and have it all cvaporate.-
Take this boiled wheat on to your table and eat
it with any thing that you are accustomed to eat
with potatoes, and it will answer as good sub
stiute.
You may cat it also with any thing that you
eat with bread, and it will be better than rice.
When it is understood that bushel of wheat
can be bought for less than half what bushel of
potatoes costs and will 90 six times as far, the
difference in cost will be clearly seen.
If, then, the potato eaters, (and who does not
love them , would abstain from them about two
months, the price Of potatoes would come down
10 two shiIIings-a fair price-and the price OF
wheat would come up to something nearer a
fair price than it now is.
This is practicable thing, and in these hard
times, when economy is more than a common
virtue health will be promoted and money sa-
we'd by the experiment. We have tried ii, and
we commend it.
