Dried Potatoes for Cattle.

Germany Is evolving an ever-in-
creasing number Of potato products.
and thus rapidly solving the problem
of disposing of the once enormous sur
plus of this crop. A number Of es
Adjustments in that country are now
turning out quantities Of dried pota-
toes, in various forms, for use in feed
ing cattle. According to recent con-
suIar report. dried potatoes do not
cause the form of sickness that re-
suits from a diet Of raw potatoes.
Moreover. raw potatoes can be pre-
served for only limited time. while
to boil the potatoes would impose upon
the stock-raiser more expense than
the circumstances justify. oficial
tests have proved that the one-third
of strengthening food generally given
to horses in the form Of grain could
be replaced by dried potatoes. and
such animals would be kept in excel
lent condition.
