NEW USE FOR POTATOES.

There has been an immense crop O
potatoes raised in Florida this seaso
Now the question is, what to do with tn
tubers. OF course they can be used Il
the family to some extent and will ais
make excellent stock food. But can w
not find better use for them? The fol
lowing from an exchange may offer
suggestion.
''In France system for drying pota
toes is coming into use. The potatoes
are first crushed, after which the water
is squeezed out. The compressed pull
is then separated into pieces and put
into an oven, moderately warm, where
it remains until it is thoroughly dry anG
has taken on light yellow tint. The
temperature is high enough to impart ar
agreeable flavor to the product, but not
high enough to completely transform the
starch into dextrine. This new article
of commerce which can be kept an in
definite length of time, has been called
torrefied potatopulp. 1t can be used fol-
fattening domestic animals, and can be
converted into puree for hrman food
by boiling water. 1t is also ground and
made into light yellow flour, which is
mixed with wheat or rye flour and baked
into bread, which is very digestible on
account of the partial conversion of the
starch into dextrine. The inventor
hopes that this flour will be found ad.
vantageous from an economic point oil
view, and that it's introduction will
cause an increase in the cultivation OF
potatoes, which will be sufficient during
years of drouth to make up for de.
ficiency in the crops of cereals.
The department of agriculture has is.
sued bulletin treating of sweet pota-
toes and their uses. Only in localities
favored with transportation facilities
and good markets is the sweet potato a
sale crop. But as food for stock the de-
partment thinks ltShculd be extensively
grown in regions adapted to 1t. The
roots have been successfully fed to hogs,
cattle and horses. For cattle and horses
it is better to slicethe roots. Of all course
classes OF stock hogs can be used to con-
sumo sweet potatoes to the best advan-
tage, since they do their own digging.
Sweet potato vines are usually left to
decay in the field where they are grown
However, they may be used as food for
cattle. An analyses of very succulent
sweet potato vines grown in Texas,
showed them to be practically identical
in chemical composition with succulent
cow pea vines, of which the feeding
value is we'll established.
Vines of five varieties were analysed
at the Georgia station and showed con
siderable difference in composition. I
is claimed that the vines of the so called
vlneless variety, which stand up well
can be cut with moving machine but
to permit of this it will be necessary tc
cultivate nearly level. The vines are
better suited for feeding green than fol
curing into hay. In the soil they are
said to become Shiny. A writer says he
weighed heavy crop of green vines,
and found that the weight was five and
one.sixth tons per acre. At the Texas

RorE FOR DURRANr.


Jpry Convlcts Him of Murder In the
First Degree.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 2.-Theo-
dore Durrant's twelve peers went
out yesterday afternoon, deliberated
for five fleeing minutes and agreed
collectively upon what they had al
ready decided Observation-Disclosures
Theodore Durrant was guilty OF
murder in the first degree.
And then and there hempen
moose, hard and choking and re-
lentless as the ten lean fingers
which shut off Blanche Lamont's
breath, settled snug and close about
the neck Of the young medical
student.
The voice that read the solemn
sentence trembled with genuine
emotion. The fateful words were
audible to all the courtroom.
For moment nobody breathed.
The silence was deathly. Then
Durrant made a movement as
if to rise and, instantly, from the
crowded rear of the room there
came a roar-low. sullen, throaty,
gutteral-the sound of the mob, type
OF lawlessness. This time it was a
hoarse howl Of approval, and it
came from the men-a gratuitous
sign that the work Of the jury had
been we'll done. The sound was
torn about the edges by salvo of
hand-clapping, the treble voices OF
women, and few hysterical laughs.
1t was not::so much gloating over the
prisoner as genuine expression Of
approval that justice had been done.
1t left no doubt as to public senti-
ment.
Sentence has not yet been passed.
Motion for a new trial has been
filed.
