Quicklime Recommended to
Keep Potatoes From Rottinq
When Stored in Damp Places

The French department OF agricul-
tire lately issued the following indi-
cations as to the best method OF pre-
serving potatoes against rotting, such
as is likely to occur in damp places.
BY employing the proper method. IL
Is possible to diminish the dampness
within the piles where the air does not
enter or only circulates very slowly.
To avoid this, a substance which alb
serbs water and having no action up
on the pOia;c must be employed, and
liz the best substance, as IL costs least,
Is easy to handle, and Is best known.
In practice the method can be ap-
piled In the following way. 1t is to be
remarked that when potatoes are
stored up after being well cleaned be-
forehand, they commence TO exude
moisture. and must be gone over again.
The storage place is sprinkled with
quicklime, and each layer of three or
four Inches Of well dried potatoes Ia
sprinkled over with lime; the same
on the outside Of the pile. When sort
ing as above stated. the imperfect
ones need not be thrown away, but the
bad parts cut out and the rest fed to
stock after cooking or passing through
"A dryer or baking In furnace; or they
can be sent to starch factory IL one
Is near by. AS to the amount OF lime
to be used, the proper quantity is
about ten pounds Of lime to 1000
pounds OF potatoes
