JACKSON STILL GIVING.
He Will Distribute $4,000 in Gifts
to Relatives and Friends.

to Relatives and Friends.
Dover, Del, Dec. 1.-Undaunted by the
agitated state of the public mind over
his giving away fortune of 100000,
Alexander jackson, the wealthy Camden
man, and retired civil engineer, came to
Dover today to attend to the further
distribution of his money. He seems to
be more pleased every day acting as his
own executor.
The most unique feature of Mr.. Jack
sons bpnehcience Is that he is using
his own ripe experience as a financier to
purchase choice investments for his ben
chciaries. Today he completed the pur-
chase of fine farm in the most fertile
part of Maryland's Eastern Shore and
this was promptly conveyed to a nephew.
The farm consists of 742 acres of land
The total of Mr.. Jackson's gifts to his
friends, neighbors and relatives, according
to the court records, is $4,000, but as he
said that does not show one-half of what
has already been done, and only one
third Of what is to come. The debts
he has cancelled, the glIts of cash and
personal securities he has made, and the
assumption by him of store debts for
the poor people, will never all be known.
Speaking further today of his novel
| plan, Mr.. Jackson said
The plan of distributing my estate is
original with me, and yet put it into
practise many years ago. 1t was not my
capital then, however but my fathers

STEAMSHIP SAVED.
The Margaret Jones FIoated After
Six Days Work.

Lewes, Del, Dec. 1.--4ne English
steamship Margaret Jones, from Malta
which ran ashore last Sunday near Isl,
OF Wight Life Station, Md, was fioated
at high water today, and was towed by
the tugs Spartan and Sommers ~ Smitl
to the Breakwater.
The steamer is apparently in perfect
condition and could have made the run
to the Breakwater under her own steam
but Captain l..omas fearing some sand
might have worked in among her con
densers, would take no chances.
The Jones had been ordered to Nor
folk previous to the accident, but hei
charter has since been Cancelled, and hel
owners will have her docked for inspec
tion before accepting new one. Sew
eral wrecking companies are interested
in the salvage, and the amount will BIZ
awarded by the Board of Underwriters

One OF the difficulties encountered by
farmers who study the experiment sta
ton reports is the estimates OF feeding
based upon the live weight OF the ami
mails. The presumption is that large
animal should eat more than a smaller
one to maintain itself, and the tables
are given on such suppOsition. The
fact IS that farmers know that size
does not always regulate the amount OF
food required. Individual Characters
tics govern the matter TO a large ex-
tent and small animals will frequently
consume more food than those that are
larger. No two animals are alike and
there is no certain rule that can be oas-
ed upon weight Of the animal when
feeding.

Some years ago I observed the fungus

whole branch became affected with
this blight In few days not a single
healthy flower remained on the tree.
It was also noticed to start from certain
parts or the tree. soon located the
cause In the old monilia-attacked
plums which were hanging on the
trees. In quite a number OF cases the
starting point was thus found to be in

The farmers wife has about three
ames as much work TO do as her city
cousin She assists her husband in run
Ming the farm. Without her aid the
husband would often 6nd it difficult to
farm successfully. In many cases the
farmers wife Is not treated as she
should be. Frequently the husband has
Deen drinking. and after bis death the
mortgage takes the property, and the
wife has either to struggle for her liv-
ing or 90 to the almshOuse. A good
many Of our farmers are members OF
some beneficial order This Is all right
and good, but the wife can never feel
happy, because she has to lose her hus-
band before getting her money. The
Following Is how | treat my wife: For
every article sell from the farm / give
her 3 per cent Of the money for a pres
ent. We have only one pocket-book,
and when | need money / use II, and
when she needs money she uses 1t. The
D per cent. Is all profit to her, and Is
intended to be used by her in case she
should become a widow. Some OF the
readers Of the Practical FARMER may
think per cent. Is a very small portion.
but It amounts to a great deal Farm
ers sell a good many articles In a year,
often more than they think they do.
In case farmer would only sell $500
worth In year the wife would get S25.
Remember, she has no expenses. She
| is clothed and cared for. ! am follow
ing this plan now for the last twelve
Tears. and | am certain that a good
many Of the readers Of the Practical
Farmer would be surprised II would
mention the amount my wife has de-
posted in the bank. Suppose a young
man should enter the farm at the age
Of 81 and continue his work up to thC
age of Cor AZ years If he sells
every year to the amount Of $1,000
which is a very low sale for the average
farmer, the wife would get $50 a year
or 50, 100 In forty-two years. A smar
wife will take care Of her money a
