In reference to the article on Turnip-grating in 

 another column, we may just mention that we saw 

 at Mr. Telfer's, last week, a Turnip-grater which 

 made a very near approach to pulp— a thing we had 

 never seen before. Any previous so-called Turnip- 

 grater has turned out the Turnip merely m thinner, 

 narrower slices than is done by the common Banbury 

 machine. And this is done by the acting cylinder
