Dried Potatoes as Cattle Food.

Germany is evolving a n ever-in-creasing number of potato products and thus rapidly solving the problem of disposing of the once enormous surplus of this crop. A number .of establishments in that country are now turning out quantities of dried potatoes, in various forms, for use in feeding, cattle. According to a recent Consular report, dried, potatoes do not cause the forms of sickness that result from a diet of raw potatoes. Moreover, raw potatoes can be preserved for only a limited time, while to boil the potatoes would impose upon the stocJ'-raiser more expense than the circumstances justify: Official tests have proved that the one-third of strengthening food generally given. to horses in the form of grain conki be replaced by dried potatoes, and such animals would be kept in *rrcellent condition.
