USES Or 1ru1 POTATO,
In France farina is largely use4 for cut-
ina,ry purposes. The famed gravies, sauces
and soups of .France are largely indebted
for their excellence to that source, and its
bread and pastry equally so, while a groat
deal of the so-calledeogna,o, imported into
England. from France, is the product of the
potato. Througbout Germany the same
uses are common. In Poland the mama
facture of spirits from tho potato is a Most
extensive trade. Stettin brandy,' well
knowu in commerce, is largely imported
iuto England, and is sent front thence
to" maul of her foreign pessessions as
the produce of the grape, and is placed on
many a table of England as tile same,
