Use of the Potato.

This valuable and nutritious esculent is not
only useful to us in many tempting forms IN
which it Is presented in its unmistakble charae-
ter, but the farina extracted from it IS largely
used for other culinary purposes.
The famed gTavies, sauces, and soups Of
France are largely indebted to their excellence
to that source, and its bread and pastry equal
" SO !; while great deal Of the so-called
cognae imported into America from France is
the product of the potato, and imbibed as the
pure essence of the grape. The fair ladies o.
orcountry perfume themselves with the spirit
Of potato, under the designation of "eau de
ealoene.n But there are other uses to which
this hyorite esculent is TUNED to abroad
After extracting the farina, the pulp is manu-
factured into ornamental articles, picture
frames, snuff boxes, and several descriptions O
toys, and the water that runs from it is mos
excellent seourer. For perfectly cleaning
woolens, and such like articles, and curing
chilblains, it is also successfully employed
