The Grating of Potatoes

A correspondent of the Rural New
Yorker writes that " grating of pota-
toes has recently been recommended to
be introduced for the eventuality and
purpose of combining the good quail
tiles of two different sorts into one.
Select of the potatoes which have your
preference the very best and soundest
specimens cut out in careful way,
with pen knife, the buds or eyes cut
them about one inch deep and one half
to three-fourths Of an inch in diameter
IN the form af Il pyramid, L. G., that the
hole III the potato runs III to a point on
the end or inside then take of the
other potato piece, if possible, with
from one to three buds or eyes; fit it
III rs good and tight as you possibly
can, and tie up with a (bass) string in
the quickest possible manner. To
fasten the inserted piece more effectu-
ally hair pin may be put in from each
side. Potatoes grated in this manner
should be as soon as this operation is
perfected, placed in damp ground and
well covered up. If the cut grows out
that is, II the two different pieces
Joln-tho operation is a success.
