To miners, prospectors and all persons inter.
ested. The OLD ABE EAGLE extends cordial
invitation TO all to call and examine the mining
journals which we receive and file. The list COM
prises the best in the United States and are
placed at your disposal free. Parties coming in
from the various camps can also secure some of
the daily and weekly papers to take out and be-
guile their spare moments. PUBLISHERS.
COAL.
This article takes precedence this week
because so many, more or less dis
tinguished, experts have been reported
as being in this field within the last ten
days and may be the means OF indicating
to them that there is, up to the present
date, more and better coal in the White
Oaks district than their public reports
might show were the matter left unpub-
lished.
The White Oaks citizen will read and
think there can be no doubt about this
subject anywhere now. He has used it for
years, seen the stamp mills use it, secs ii
in use everywhere every day. Permit
the EAGLE to say to you, however, that
abroad the public don't know this, and
that for years certain parties have said
1t was not so.

Capt. f. McB. Timoney received let
ter Tuesday from most reliable source
concerning the Denver Ell Paso short line
which says: Financial news from the
East is good and the railroad bonds can
be disposed of without q great deal of
trouble, judging from accounts re-
ceived." The EAGLE also received a
communication yesterday from equally
reliable source, which says: 81 cannot
give you much railroad news, but from
what I can learn, the prospects are good
and think we may expect to see the
dirt fly by the beginning of June

@. W. Powers, travelling for Frank &
Eakin, of Albuquerque, dropped in this
week. This town would like closer bust
relations with albuquerque, but her
people don't seem to take the amount
of interest in White Oaks that they
might and some Of her papers very rarely
il ever mention White Oaks. Some Al
buquerque firms have good trade here,
but might have more.

OUTPUT FOR 1891.

There have been no breaks and only
one fault in the vein 80 far.
For present purposes the mine is we'll
equipped with Underwood Steam Hoist,
Knowles pumps, steel rail, etc. Both the
product and demand is daily increasing.
Now, the mine is worked only for
owners use and local demand. Many
car loads per day could be taken out
with 80 days development and essential
tipples, grizzlies etc. This coal cokes
we'll and produces large amount Of
excellent coke in ratio to amount Of coal
coked. Water in sufficient abundance is
at hand for use in coking.

Sweet. Potatoes.

From a report on experiments with
sweet potatoes, made by the Louisiana
station, the following facts are APP
pended:
Sweet potatoes require for their best
development loose, pulverulent,
sand loan, fairly fertile-particula
so in phosphoric acid and potash. An
excess of heterogeneous matter fire.
quently causes an inordinate develop
ment of vines at the expense of roots.
Hence, excessive quantities of am
moniacal manures are avoided in
the growing of this crop. 1t should
be remembered that a potato ranging
from five to nine ounces each finds the
readiest favor in our markets. Those
varieties which have the most ready
sale in Louisiana Immediately after dig
ging are the Georgia and Sugar. The
most desirable mealy varities are the
Southern Queen, New Jersey, Barba-
does, Spanish Yam, probably Norton
and Dog River. Varieties to be grown
as food for stock are Red Nansemond,
Pumpkin and California. The Vineless
requires further trial.

SWINE NOTES.

1T is quite an item to vary the IA.
lions SO as to keep the hogs with good
appetite.
DO not expect to make hogs profita-
BILE unless pains are taken to make them
comfortable.
"A little turpentine given in the slop
two or three times will aid in securing
better health.
Hogs narrowed in March should al
WAYS be ready for market not later than
Christmas; good feeding will readily do
this
1t is hardly good economy to buy a
breeding animal from man at high
price unless assured that he is perfectly
reliable.
One serious objection to breeding
sows too young is that they are not able
to supply the litter of pigs with full of
milk.
The best plan of feeding roots of
any kind to the hogs is by cracking and
smashing them thoroughly and then
mixing with wheat bran.
because prices have been low and
in many cases hogs marketed have re-
turned little or no profit is no reason
for quitting the business
To secure the best results from an
early maturing breed, the pigs must be
fed something in the manner used to
establish early maturity.
Allowing the hogs to crowd to-
gether and sleep in a dusty bed often
induces disease that cleanliness would
avoid.
There is place on every farm for
the hog but the number that can be
kept must be governed by circum-
stances.
Don't deprive the brood sows of an
abundance Of exercise If you would have
them farrow a healthy, active, good
constitutional litter. Exercise is as inn
portant in keeping the system of the
sows regular and healthy as to frrnish
an abundance of the proper kind of
food. Our best success at narrowing
time is when the sows have had the
range of the clover sod fields during the
period Of CESSATION IN winter.

Washing Flannels.

Immense in cold water in which Is a
little borax. Leave the article soaking
awhile; repeat the process, rinsing each
time in the cold water. If very much
soiled, slight lather of soap may be
made in the first water; or soap may be
rubbed upon spots. Do not wiring more
than is absolutely needful, but '.souse"
instead. All mothers who know how
difficult it is to keep the flannel skirts
of infants, which are SO often wet, soft,
will never try any other way # they try
this. This same process, using small
portion of soap-tree bark, will restore
almost any wooden gown, white or
colored. There is reason in this. Manu-
facturers Of woolens have the raw ma
terials washed in cold, not hot or warm
water, and know full well that only in
this way can they get the softness Of
the fleece.
Much, however, of the success Aof the
method in home use, depends upon the
ease with which they keep the same
temperature. Doubtless, if the same
degree could be maintained through
washing and rinsing. there would be
the same result. This is practically
impossible, however, while the changes
are fatal TO the wool fabric.-Ladies'

horse cultivation, may begin at once to
prepare the ground for them. The La
borious task of hand labor should be
avoided as much as possible, and the
horse attached to the cultivator, one
horse harrow, or light pillow, be en-
ployed for as much of the work as prac-
ticable. A fine, smooth, mellow soil, free
from stones and coarse perennial weeds,
may be kept clean by the work of the
horse with less than tenth of the eff
fort required to clear the ground by the
hand. The ease with which the work
may be accomplished, will encourage
its performance in a frequent and thor
ough manner, weeds will be kept down
or not permitted to grow at all, and the
frequent mellowing will give vigor to
the crops in manner never to be seen
when hard labor alone is employed.
Such crops as beets, carrots. parsnips,
potatoes, sweet corn, cabbages, toma-
toes, and all those of large growth. may
be planted in drills in such a way that
quiet, well-broken horse will do the
work.
For the successful growth of garden
crops, including the termination of the
seed, finely pulverized soil is all-im-
portant. Coarse Jumps will only touch
the seeds in a few points, and the rest
will be in contact with air cavities; while
a fine soil will fully encase the seeds,
and impart all needed moisture to them.
Hence the Importance of an early prepa-
ration of the ground, by thorough drain
age, pulverized manure, and the use of
the light pillow and cultivator as soon as
the condition of the ground will admit
in early spring.
The failure of seed to grow is some
times charged to the seedman, when in
fact it is really owing to the bad condi-
ton of the ground. In mass of clods
a small percentage only will germinate;
| in fine mellow garden there is no rea-
son why every seed should not be sup
piled with moisture, and all would
grow.
inexperienced gardeners often cause
failure by burying seed too deep, which
coarsely pulverized soil appears to re-
quire for moisture. But when reduced
to fine powder, shallow covering,
| with the moisture which it supplies,
will be more successful. Small seeds,
like those of turnips and celery, and
| even those as coarse as beets, must not
be covered at much depth: but
corn and peas and other coarse
kinds may be buried deeper beneath the
surface, provided sufficient moisture is
supplied them. The Importance of a
shallow planting with fine earth was
strikingly shown when a raw hand was
set to plant a crop of garden beets. The
owner was absent. and he did not know
that the novice buried the seed four
inches, doing what he thought was thor
ough work. The job was not quite fin
ished, and the owner planted the re-
| mainder of the seed the next day in the
| few minutes he had to spare, covering
them hardly an inch. The result was
the deep planting did not come up, and
the scotsman would have been charged
! with fraud if the shallow-covered seed
had not appeared in profuse abundance
