SWEET POTATO FLOUR.
Nature and Object of a Recently Patented
Milling Process.

~
Wheat and other grains are likely to
have more or less of a rival in the
sweet potato. A patent has been issued
for a process of treating sweet potatoes
for making flour. The object of the
invention is to produce a wholesome
and nutritious article of diet from the
sweet potato-one that will not become
liable to be frozen or dccayed, and
which shall embody all the valuable
portions of the potato, especially the
starch and saceharine matter. The
sweet potato is a luxury, and when in
its natural state and out Of season, IS
difficult to get except at eyhorbitant
prices, owing to its liability to rot and
freeze, Tbs invention designs so to
treat the potato that the starchy and
s~accharine matters, with a quantity of
the glutinous portions, may be obtained
and readily transported to any portion
of the world as staple product similar
10 nuur; II II beng Il well-known
fact that chemical changes which ac-
crue to the liquid portion of the potato
in climate other than whereit grew de-
stroy its natural flavor, an essential
feature of the process is to quickly
evaporate such liquids while the potato
is in healthy condition, and reduce it to
flour or meal which will retain the
natural flavor of the esculent. The
product obtained according to the in
v%ention may be made into buildings,
pies, cakes, custards and the like
