| | Making starch from frosted potatoes |
 | | Potatoes much frosted will make very good starch, though it is a shade darker in color. |
 | | The produce of the fresh potato weighed 876 grains, while that of the frosted was only 412, being less than half the quantity. |
 | | The refuse of the potato, when taken from the sieve, possesses the property of cleansing woollen cloths without hurting their colors, and the water decanted from the starch powder is excellent for cleansing silks without the smallest injury to their color. |
