TEST POTATOES FOR STARCH
Department Of Agriculture Bulletin
Discusses Alcohol Making, Par
tlcuIarly From Spuds.
CRx V. G. MuLy1LLE.l


The U. 8. department of agriculture
has issued Farmers Bulletin No. 41o
GA potato culls as a source Of indus
trial alcohol. This bulletin discusses
alcohol making more particularly from
potatoes. The amount of alcohol which
can be made from potatoes depends
upon the amount of starch which the
tubers contain, just as butter making
depends upon the butter fat in the
milk or cream, says the Rural New
Yorker. Consequently in buying pota-
toes some quality test is required, just
as in the case Of selling milk, the
Babcock test is applied to determine
the amount of butter fat. The test for
potatoes is based on specific gravity.
AS is known starch is heavier than wa
ter and will sink to the bottom and the
sample starch test is based on the dis
lance which the starch will fall in a
volume of water. The instrument
shown in the illustration is used.

SAY HE SLASHED BROTHER
OF FREEBOOTER MANN.
Rabbi Gerson Mann Accuses Rit.
uaIistic Butcher of Assault.

Trouble which has been brewing al
most a year came to~a head today when
Saul Neubarth, a "Shochet" (Which is
Hebrew for ritualistic butcher, of 5S
Broome street was held In $500 ball
for the grand Jury by Judge Herr on
a charge of assault, preferred by Rabbi
Gerson Mann, brother of Freebooter
Joseph Mann.
The complainant. who has charge of
Congregation Anshe Israel, had been
having trouble with the "%Shochet."
Yesterday during an alteration,
when Neubarth was engaged in kill
ing chickens according to the prescribed
Hebrew ritual with a knife that must
contain no hicks, they came to blows,
and during the excitement Rabbi Mann
was cut in several places with the
knife. A Hebrew law, which both men
on account of their profession are
bound to respect, prevents one from in
~stigating court action unless blood Is
drawn.
The cuts which Rabbi Mann, received
opened the way for the charge.

such are the restrictions of the Board
of Health in such cases he might be

OBJECTS TO GERAN BILL.

TRENTON, Feb. 90.-The Mercer
County Anti-Bribery League has in
terested itself in the Geran election re-
form bill before the Legislature and

The ballot is of the blanket sort, and
groups the candidates under the head
ing Of Offices to be filled. A check-mark
