FLOUR FROM POTATOES.
New German Process May BE Tried a.
Greeley,

Greeley farmers have long been de:
sirous of knowing the most satisfac.
tory way by which waste or Gull pota.
toes may be used. Until the last two
years, says Denver Republican cor
respondent, farmers have left them to
rot in the fields. rather than to spend
time and money in gathering them. A
few ranchmen have had good success
using them for fattening stock and 9th.
ers have sold their culls to the starch
factory the last two seasons.
The latest plan proposed is that the
Gull potatoes be made into flour. which
is said to be desirable to mix with or.
dinary flour in the making of bread and
cake. keeping the bread and pastry
moist.
II. c. Watson is in communication
with a Mr.. Burger of Milwaukee, pro.
prietor of large mills there and who
formerly lived in Denver. who is much
interested in the process by which 20.
tato flour is made. This process has
been perfected and patented by man
named Goldsmith, living in Berlin,

skins from the chamois animal is very

special inquiry on n recent visit TO
Switzerland about the annual crop OF
the chamois skin and nsccr,aincd that
from 5000 to 5000 skins would be
fair average yearly crop. This skin In
heavier than the skin Of the sheep or
