proper care of the growers and transpOrta-
ton companies, and as soon as the bust
ness is thoroughly understood by all con
cerned, there will be no trouble, and ourpo-
tatoes will reach their destination bright
and sound.
But this brings me to a new feature of
this subject, and one which will very soon
ATTRACTING little attention, both by North
ern merchants and Southers planters to
wit: Evaporating the sweet potato and
shipping them in convenient packages to
all parts of the world, just as evaporated
fruits and berries are now shipped. This
method will obviate all danger of rotting
and freezing, and will make the crop much
more valuable to the South, as it will
build up large drying factories and give
good market at home for the crop in early
autumn, and avoid all risk of keeping
over winter in the green state.
Suitable machinery can be easily con-
structed to cut the tubers into thin slices,
and the evaporating process will be made
sure and safe without injury to the value
of the potatoes.
Before concluding hissubject, wish to
add that there are certain localities and
soils where nature has done her perfect
work for the sweet potato. The black belt
of Alabama, Mississippi and Texas makes
fair potatoes, but not so good as the free
sands of Middle and Southern Georgia,
portions of Alabama, Florida and the
Car oliDas. Much of this territory is in the
piney woods belt, and is not adapted to
general farming; but here potatoes, with
little fertilizers, will grow to perfection,
second only in it's value to our great
Southern staple-cotton.

Tanning Skins.

The following is DIR. Chase's "Fifty-Dol-
lar Recipe:''
l. Trim the skins of all useless parts,
and soak them till soft, then flesh them
we'll and soak them in water for an hour.
Take for each skin, borax, saltpetre and
glauber salt, of each One-half ounce, and
dissolve with soft water sufficient to AL
low it to spread on the flesh side of the
skin. Put it on with brush, thickest in
the center or thickest part Of the skin,
and double the skin together, flesh side
in, Keeping it in a cool place for twenty
four'Rours.
2. Wash the skin clean, and then take
sal-soda, one ounce; borax, one-half
ounce; refined soap, two ounces; melt
them slowly together, being careful not
to allow them to boil, and apply the mix
ture to the flesh side at first; roll up again
and keep in a warm place for twenty-four
hours.
3. Wash the skin clean as before, and
have saleratus 1.-TWO ounces) dissolved in
hot rain water sufficient to saturate the
skin; then take alum, four ounces; salt,
eight ounces, and dissolve also in hot
rain water; when sufficiently cool to al
low the handling of it without scalding,
put in the skin for twelve hours, then
wiring out the water and hang up tor
twelve hours more to dry. Repeat this
soakingtrom two to four times, according
to the desired softness OF the skin when
finished.
4. Finish by pulling, working, ETC., and
finally by rubbing with piece of pumice
stone and fine sand-paper. This works
admirably on sheep skins as well as on
fur skins, dog, cat or wolf skins, also
making durable leather, well adapted
to washing and Fireside.

The Possibilities of the Sweet Potato
in the South.

Through your columns, and elsewhere,
Ihave frequently cOntended that there was
no crop or product SO valuable for Flori-
da as the sweet potato, both for home
consumption and the market. | am
pleased to see that am not alone in my
estimate of this crop, and | take the lib
erty of enclosing herewith acOummunica-
ton of Mr.. B. l. Wofford. of Gainesville,
Ga, to the Southern Farm, which en-
bodies my ideas and expresses my senti-
ments to a CT" You can publish the
article if you think itworthy OF reproduce
ton J. S. WALDERMAN.
If | was asked to name, next to Indian
corn, the most valuable food product of
the Southern States, for both man and
beast, would unhesitatingly answer, the
sweet potato. And again, were ] asked
to name, next to cotton, the best money
crop for the Southern planter, would as
quickly answer, the sweet potato.
In regard to my first proposition: The
sweet potato, as a food product in the
the Irish potato, holds in the North. Our
Northern friends could not get along with
ont their daily ration of Irish potatoes.
But we Southerners we'll know that our
sweets are in comparison to their Irish, as
biscuit is to corn bread. The Georgia vel
low yam, fried, or toasted and served with
butter and sugar, is good enough to sat-
isfy the palate of the most exacting cpl
cure. Then, the sweet potato custard,
made rich with cream, butter sugar, and
favored with lemon, well baked and
stacked up and left to cool and sweeten q
day or two. O! We gods, what eating?
And just look at that Georgia boy, as he
slips around and steals into the safe and
tackles that stack of custard! Also the
sweet potato pudding, made from grated
potatoes, and mixed with the proper sea-
sonings and condiments, of which it has
been said, that when one eats too much.
it will cause his tOe-nails to come off
meaning that the eater is so fond of the
dish that hegenerally founders himself on
it before he can quit. Then there is the
universal "slice potato pie a great fav-
orite in every Southern family, and made
like the chicken pie, with bottom and
top crust, and sliced boiled yams put in
the middle, together with butter, sugar
and nutmeg, then baked brown, not for
getting to put in enough rich sweet milk
or cream to make it juicy. Next, we in
trOduce sweet potato bread, made by
mixing boiled potatoes, we'll mashed,
with either Indian meal or -four about
one part potatoes to two of meal, using
the usual amount of seasOnings. This
makes a soft and very palatable bread,
and cannot be too highly recommended
for gene1 al use, as it will greatly add to
the bread supply of the farmer, and at
thesame time give him much better and
more wholesome article, as good when
cold as when hot. Baked and roasted
sweets are used in almost every Southern
home, and among the farmers and labor
ing men many bushels of grain are saved
by the general use OF potatoes. Cuffy, es-
pecially, can do first rate on sweet pota
toes, with an occasional 'possum thrown
in.

One acre in potatoes is enough to fatten

you wish to start up an old, poor horse

ration of other food, and you will be sur

ment for month, and next spring you

patch three-fold Some years ago the
writer traded for large Kentucky mule,
which had been run down by negroes un-
til he was too poor to look at-he would
not eat, had Campus" and was alto
gether most hopeless looking case. One
day, while passing by the stable with a
basket of potatoes, old Jack was thrown
a few of the large ones, which he
dispatched and nickered for more The
mule was fed regularly on the potatoes
for few weeks, and everybody was sur
prised to see how he fattened-his appe-
tite was restored, and he soon became a
sleek, fine mule.
Next, the sweet potato as a money
crop for the Southern planter.
A few years back l was at Memphis,
Tenn, in the month of February, when I
saw hundreds of wagons coming into the
city loaded with sweet potatoes put up
in barrels; and on investigation found
that the farmers for miles around were
shipping their sweet potatoes up the
river to ST. Louis and other cities north,
and were finding good market for them.
Some were selling to dealers in the city
at 9Oc. per bushel cash. One farmer near
town, / was told, then had 4, 600 bushels
in his cellar, and was expecting to get
$1.25 for his entire crop by holding them
a month later. The States of New Jer-
sey and Delaware have for many years
furnished the Eastern cities with sweets
at remunerative prices. Now, the point
| wish to impress is this, that while the
Mississippi valley and the Atlantic coast
have been doing a considerable business
in this line, yet the amount they furnish,
in comparison to the amount that ought
to be, and can be sold annually in the
North, does not amount to a drop in the
bucket. The New England States, and
all that country lying North of the Ohio
River, and the great Northwest, are to-
day practically doing without sweet pO-
tatoes, and are, for the most part, ig-
nOrant of the fact that this great South
ern product is much finer and more nu-
tritious food for man than the Irish pO-
tato. The Northern farmers do g. big
business growing and shipping their po-
tatoes to all parts Of our republic, and
why not the Southern farmer exchange
compliments with their Northern broth
ers, and ship them all the sweets they can
consume? AS soon as the Northern pal
ate is educated to the use of our luscious
