POTATOES FOR THE TABLE.
suggestions by Specialists as TO Most
Advantageous Purchases.

The following suggestions to house
wives by home economics specialists of
the United states department Of agr'cul-
ture are made in regard to the selection
of potatoes for table use
In purchasing potatoes for table pur-
poses. the following points should be-
kept in mind First. that smooth pota-
toes are more desirable than rough ones,
because they are more easily prepared,
aud less loss * involved in the pairing.
Second, that tubeTs which have been cX-
posed to light for any considerable period
soon acqUir" a more or less acrid taste;
for this reason, newly harvested potatoes.
if mature. are preferable for the winters
supply to those wNich nave been kept for
any considerable period under unsuitable
conditions, Third that very large pota-
toes are not especially desirable, partly
on account OF the greater length of time
required to cook hem uniformly, and
partly because they a.e often very Vari-
able in texture. FoJrth. a good potato
should be finn and crisp when cut, and Il

lively uniform distribution of starch
