Are Potatoes Wholesome Food ?
A subscriber sends for this journal (the
a long essay, in which ho at
tempts to prove that potatoes arc an unwhole
some article of food. Many of the reasons
given, would apply to most other kinds of
food, and we do not see how the writer, if he
believes all he writes, can avoid following
the advice of the colored man at Charleston
(luring the prevalence of the cholera.. After
condemning various articles of food as dan
gerous, to the direct question, " what shall I
eat then ?" he replied :—" Why, '4lO best
way is'ii.,`-ca.nt - Ao! at all, and den you no
'spose yerself." In regard to potatoes, there
is no doubt that good, mealy potatoes, cooked
through, are as healthful as 'any article of
food consumed. They abound in starch,and
do not, alone, furnish muscle-making materi
al enough. They may be eaten more freely
in cold weather when carbonaceous, or heat
producing food is most required ; with a due
quantity of dean meat, bead cabbage, and
other nitrogenous kinds of food, they are al•
ways good. But to be easily digested, they
should always be baked or boiled dry, and
mashed. The mashing is not essential for
adults who have good molar teeth or grind
ers, and who will take time in eating, to mas
ticate thorn well. Children, and careless or
rapid eaters, are likely to swallow unmashed
potatoes in small lumps. These lumps are
dissolved slowly, and irritate the stomach,
producing a dull, heavy feeling, if not adso
lute pain. The fact that bits of potatoes are
vomited whole, or passed off in the excre
ments, when there is any irritation of the
stomach or bowels, is proof that such lumps
should never go into the stomach.
Potatoes should not be mixed with butter
or gravies in mashing, as such a compound is
not easily dissolved by the gastric juice. A
better plan is to mash them dry, or with a
little milk, and let whatever salt and butter,
or gravy, is used, be put upon the outside of
each mouthful. (This remark applies to all
kinds of food.) "he butter, gravies, spices,
etc., applied to food, are designed to come in
contact with the salivary glands, and promote
a flow of saliva, and this end is better secured
by putting these s.ubstaneee upon the outside
of the food.
A dry, mealy potato, baked or boiled
through, and mashed finely so that it would
dissolve in water stirred up with it, is just
as good food, for a sick person even, as boiled
rice. We repeat that sick or well persons,
young or old, should never swallow a piece of
a potato larger than a small pea; and to in
sure this, we advise, as a general rule, to
mash potatoes before bringing them to the
table. We agree with cur correspondent,
that every potato having - a black spot or lump
in it, is diseased, and the whole potato should
be unceremoniously rejected. There is no
saving in consuming any part of such a pota
to. Mere cracks or openings in large pota
toes, if unsurrounded with dark-colored,hard
matter, are not indicative of disease.
Vegetable Oyster, or Salsify
This excellent plant grows like a parsnip,
and is in flavor very much like fresh oysters.
Scrape them, and cut them round in thin
slips; boil them tender in milk and water,
season them well 'with pepper, butter and
salt make a nice toast, moistened with the
gravy laid in the bottom of the dish, and pour
the whole over it. You can scarcely detect
the difference. There should be a sufficient
quantity of the gravy ; too much lessens the
flavor. it is sometimes cut up and parboiled.
chopped fine and fried in batter. The roots
may be first cooked tender, then fried whole
in batter. [This is the very best mode in
which to cook this line vegetable.] We have
raised it constantly fur a dozen years, but
never use it until about the end of October.
They preserve best left in the ground, like
the carrot, to be used whenever the frost will
admit of their exhumation.—Ger. Tel.
TO PREVENT SKIPPERS IN 11A319.—1n
communication to the " Cotton Planter," Mr.
VT. McWillie says :—" There is, according
to my experience, nothing easier than to avoid
the skipper and all worms arid bugs that usu
ally infest and often destroy so much bacon.
It is simply to keep your smoke-house dark,
and the moth that deposits the eggs will nev
er enter it. For the past twenty-five years I
have attended to this, and never have had
any bacon troubled with any insect. I have
now banging in my smoke-house barns, one,
two, and three years old, and the oldest are
as free from insects as when first hung up.—
I am not aware of other causes for the exemp
tion of my bacon from insects, but simply the
fact that my smoke-house is always kept dark.
I smoke with green hickory—this is impor
tant, as the flavor of bacon is often utterly
destroyed by smoking it with improper wood.
Working Butter.
After the butter is removed from the churn,
put water in the working bowl, to rinse off
the buttermilk. In another dish have cold
water and a linen cloth free from lint. Rinse
the cloth out dry, spread the butter out with
a ladle and press the cloth gently on the but
ter. and remove all the drops of moisture.—
Continue this process until the butter is ready
for salting—keep the water clean for rinsing
the cloth often. Any one trying this will be
surprised to find how much it facilitates the
preparation of butter to salt.
BUCKIVIIEAT STRAW'. —J. A. Hubbard,
writing to the N. E. .F.trinc:r, says that buck
wheat straw "is injurious to yonng pigs, and
if they lay in it, it will set theta crazy and
they will finally die. it is hurtful to hogs
and young stock to run through it when green,
making their head and ears sore and itch very
much." Is this so ?

SAFE S,
804 CHESTNUT STREET,
PHILADELPHIA.
ANOTHER TRIUMPH!
.Phtladelphia, Sept. 29, 1859.
To TIME PRESIDENT OP THE PENNSYLVANIA AGRICULTURAL
SOCIETY :—The subscribers, your committee to examine the
contents of a Salamander Safe, of Evans & Watson, after
being exposed to a strong fire on the Fair Grounds for eight
hours, respectfully represent—
That after seven cords of oak wood and three of pine
had been consumed around the Safe, it was opened in the
presence of the committee, and the contents taken out, a
little warmed, but not oven scorched.
Several Silver Medals heretofore received by the manu
facturers, and a largo quantity of documents were in the
Safe, and came out entirely uninjured.
The experiment satisfied us of the capacity of Safes of
this kind to protect contents from any fire to which they
may be exposed.
The Committee awarded a Diploma and Silver Medal.

sore, Philadelphia.
Gentlemen:—The Salamander Fire-Proof Safe of your
manufacture, purchased by us from your Agent, Ferris Sc
Garrett, of our city, seine nine months ago, was severely
tried by burglars last Saturday night, and although they
had a sledge hammer, cold chisels, drill and gunpowder,
they did not succeed in opening the Safe. Tho lock being
one of "Hall's Patent Powder-proof," they could not get
the powder into it, but drilled a hole in the lower panel
and forced in a large charge, which was ignited, and al
though the door, inside and out, showed the explosion not
to have been a small one, it was not forced open. We sup
pose they were the greater part of the night at work on
it. 'We are much gratified at the result of the attempt to
enter it, and if the above facts are of any service, you are
at liberty to use them. Yours, truly,
BAYNARD & JONES.

Messrs. EVANS dc WATSON, Philadelphia:
Gentlemen—lt affords me great pleasure to say to you
that the Salamander Safe which I purchased of you in
February, 1858, proved to be what you recommended it—
a sure protection from fire. My storehouse, together with
several others, was burned to the ground in March last.—
The Safe fell through into the cellar, and was exposed to
intense heat for six or eight hours, and when it was taken
from the ruins and opened, all its contents where found to
be in a perfect state, the books and the papers not being
injured any whatever. I can cheerfully recommend your
Sates to the community, believing, as I do, that they are
as near fire-proof as it is possible for any Safe to be made.
