During the late Franco-G German war,
the French Government purchased all
the farina it could secure, and mixed
it with wheaton flour in ''polatoc
cakes" for the army. Farina at that
time rose to $500 Il ton, and even the
supply fell far short of the demand
Since then an increased amount of
farina has been regularly consumed in
France, and farina mills have cores
pondingly multiplied in that country.
The manufacture of potatoe Hour is so
simple and the results so mcthodical,
that il requires very little eXper-
fence toreach II satisfactory issue. The
potatoes are first stepped in water from
six to twelve hours to soften the dirt
and other matter adhcring, after which
they are thoroughly washed by me-
chanical means with the aid of either
steam or watcr-power. They are then
reduced TO the pulp by Il grinding pro-
cess i'll properly constructed mill. y
small stream of water is caused to flow
ON the upper surface of the rasp or
grinder, to keep ii clean of accumula-
tion of pulp. From the grinder the
pulp falls into Il washing machine,
through Il serious of selves. through
which the farina is forced by rcVolV-
| ing brushes, the coarScr pulp being
thrown out at lateral openings. The
| granUlcs of turina pass into Il trough
and are conducted to watts, where the
farina is permitted TO deposit After
| the proper number of tiltrations and
| deposition have occurred, until the last
deposit is pure white farina, the lat
ter becomes of sufficient consistency

told how beloved was the agent TO

people thanked him for his labor and
kindness. she then, in the most feel
ing tones and language, that won the
Sympathics of listeners, told how Par
rish had informed them that orders
had come from WaShin%t0n to leave
them, and another was TO take his
place. The regret and pain her pco-
pie experienced at this news, and how
they failed to understand why good
