To Make Old Potatoes New.

The greater part of the alleged new jpotatoes that people are buying and gating nowadays are not new at all, and have not been since a year ago. Some fellow has discovered a way of making old potatoes look new by soaking them in a preparation that makes

the rough outer skin peel off, and leaves only the smooth inner skin, like that of a new potato. The small potatoes ore picked out, and when they have been treated in this way cannot be told'from the really new ones except by an experienced eye. They won’t scrape, however, like the real article, and have to be peeled.
