Feelings has. not been sufficiently en-
phasized. These humble and usually
despised parts of the potato are not
without value Instead of throwing
them into the garbage can, the thrifty
housewife, if she lives in the country
and has a potato patch of her own,
might better put them into a gunny
sack and hang them in woodshed or
in some dry place where they will
not freeze. If she does this she will
not have to buy seed potatoes next
spring, but can plant the Feelings,
which will sTout and reward her with
as fine a crop as she could get from
the potato itself, provided the EYE"
or bud is on the peeling.
Another and more general use for
the parings is as shavings or kindlings
with which to start the kitchen fire.
When dried thoroughly they are very
infammable, and even when not quite
dry will burn as we'll as newspapers.
The FIVE or ten cents week spent for
kindling wood might thus be saved.
