- Fred M. Jackson's Great Work.

Fred M. Jackson and associates own and will proceed forthwith to open and develop some very extensive and valuable coal lands along the line of the Southern Rail- way west from Birmingham.
 Since MT. Jackson's resignation from the service of the Alabama Consolidated Coal and Iron Company, whose property he was so largely instrumental in developing, the public, which holds him in the highest esteem and confidence, has been anxious for the assurance that the Birmingham dis trict would not lose this one of it's strong est and best men; and so it will be pleas ing to all the people that MT. Jackson will be more than ever powerful in the develop ment of the mineral wealth of the mineral region. MT. Jackson is a man of great strength of character and business ca pacity, and he will do greater things than before for the public well-being. He al- ready owns and works one coal mine, and he and his associates will open the great new mines as quickly possible.

in the season, after other crops are out of the way, the gardener plants a crop of late and good keeping potatoes. The time has been chosen from experience and is opportune for yield of small potatoes before the frosts of winter come down upon the gardeners truck patch. These potatoes are dug and buried in heaps in the open field and left until spring opens and the new potato season arrives. At the proper time the heaps are opened and the po- totoes sorted according to sizes, In the meantime large kettle or vat is set in the field adjacent to the potato heaps and made ready by filling with water and adding sufficient lye to ef- fectually curl the skin of the potato when dipped into the boiling solution. A crane and metal basket are rigged so that the dipping can be done expedi- tiously, and the way that new pota
 toes are turned out is astonishing The effect of dipping any potato, no matter how old into this boiling lye solution is to crack and curl the skin and at the same time it hardens or makes the po- tato much firmer, so that it's resem-
 blance to new potato is so near that

RENOVATED POTATOES.

How old Ones are Made to Look Like
 Tubers Just From the Ground.
 It is in California, where pototoes are new anywhere from April to July, that this industry is possible and fiourishes. The manufacturing gardener is an en- terprising genius of foreign extraction, generally Portuguese, Italian or China man, and he makes the most of his op- rortunities By his private process of making new potatoes he gets at least two months advance on the market in many places, and thereby reaps pro- fit many times above what the legiti- mate natural product would bring him. The extent of this business must be somewhat gigantic, for I have seen these new-made potatoes in all the markets from Denver to Albuquerque and Salt Lake to Cape Nome. The commission merchants and wholesale dealers must certainly know of and abet the fraud or the gardener could not market his wares. The average retail merchant is not aware of the de- ception to my own personal knowledge, and deals out to his customers in all innocence the fraudulent new potato

it would be hard to pick out the i'm postor, from appearance alone, from a basket of the genuine article. After dipping, the potatoes are rinsed in an- other vat and spread out to dry in the sun and cure into perfect new potatoes, and the work is complete,
 The only way that you can tell the fraudulent new potato is to cut one open and notice its appearance careful ly from circumference to center. For a short distance in from the skin of the made potato you will, if you look close ly, see a yellowish- -white line of semi cooked and watery appearance. If this test is not conclusive put one or two into some cold water and let them come to boil, and you will notice a faint lye odor, and the water that cov- CTS them will have slippery, alkaline feel that any housewife cannot mistake.

FARMING A BUSINESS.


Farming is trade that takes longer
to learn than any other. How many
times one hears the question asked
about some stranger: what is his
business? Is he a BRIDESMAID" and
invariably, if he is a farmer, there.
ply will be: mo, just farmer" az
much as to say, anybody can plow and
plant and sow and reap. And almost
anyone can to certain extent. But
quite often the most common work Of
the farmer is done in way that causes
almost total loss Of his time, his team,
and perhaps other help, all because he
knew no better way in which to do it.
Perhaps he may get moderate returns
for his labor in some particular case,
and not be aware that it is not the
best that could have been obtained, IL
his work had, been systematic and
thorough. In a great many instances
the returns would have been one-half
or one-fourth greater. I remember.
when I was quite young, asking differ
ent tradesmen how long it took them
to learn their trade. The answer would
range from one to five years. If the
same length of time were devoted to
the study of farming, we should have
more proficient farmers. There are
those who have lived and worked on
a farm all their lives and yet at the
age of 30 or 40 they do not know how
to farm SO as to obtain remuneratiye
results. There is no place where it
pays better to have things done at the
proper time than on the farm. The
failure Of the crops, the unfertility Of
the soil, the condition of the stock
and an almost endless number of leaks
on the farm are traceable to the lack
of knowledge Of the farmer. He has
not learned the trade of farming. Con-
sequently portion of his labor and
expenditure are thrown away-George

OLD PEACH TREES.
Illiaeis Fruit Grower, Who Has Had
Lots Of Experience, Advises
aDehorninx" Process.

If any reader has any peach trees
that are old and on the decline, or
any seedlings bearing poor fruit, de-
horn them, cutting the tops all of
to short stubs, the outside limbs q
little shorter than the others; that
will insure a nice pyramidal top
when the branches or new top starts
next spring. IF the tree bore good
fruit in its younger days, the fruit
will be as good as ever on this new
wood. If the fruit was Of no value
you can have a fine lot Of nice, new
wood upon which to bud, that will
be ready in due time.
It is no use to keep your old scrag-
gy trees and poor fruit when it is SO
easy to have the best; besides, you
can make beautiful low-headed trees
out of the old unsightly trees. By
using a little judgment you can soon
learn to do the work we'll. A sharp
saw and plenty of grating wax to
cover the stubs to keep out the wa
ter is all the outfit you need. Red
paint will do in place of the wax,
but it will take two applications to
do the work right. You can have .
beautiful lot of low-headed trees out
of the old ones-trees that you will
be proud of, and fruit that will sell
on any market. Don't be afraid.
Head them low. If you have to cut
limbs that seem large, no matter. I
dehorned some a short time ago and
cut limbs four inches. Plenty Of wax
will save them. Heretofore I have
done the work in February, which
perhaps is the better time. As to
budding, nearly everyone can do
that, as the process has been pub
lished many times. Try It; it will
pay you well.-J. W. c. Gray, in
Farmers Voice.

Cement Floor for a Cellar,

Cement Floor for q Cellar.
While it is not at all difficult to
lay cement floor it is we'll to have
the advice and assistance of local
mason. The main thing is to get q
good foundation of broken stones or
bricks at least six inches deep. The
cement can then be mixed dry with
It's bulk Of coarse, sharp sand, or
fine gravel. Add water and mix very
thoroughly until it is soft uniform
mortar. Pour over the foundation,
tamping down well until it fills all
crevices between the stones. In
about "a hours another thinner coat
may be smoothly spread over the
!. sur face, making everything level.
Cover with hay or straw for several
:. days to avoid too rapid drying and
cracking. There is nothing better
than cement for the purpose.-Rural

JUDIcIoUs PRUNING.
A Important Matter which Receive.
Altogether Too Little Attention
from Apple Growers.

It seems to me it might be well to
call the attention of your readers to
the Importance of caring well for the
apple trees il we would produce fine
fruit. So far AS my observation ex-
tends the trees contain far too much
wood. Suppose for a moment that
your trees contain 1900 limbs, great
and small; each of these limbs or
twigs throw out a certain quantity
OF new wood each year, according as
the conditions are favorable or un-
favorable for growing wood. The
production of this wood is constant
drain upon the parent stalk. We will
suppose that 400 of these limbs are
Topped off and if the same energy or
vitality is brought to bear on the re-
manning 800 limbs the new wood
thrown out will reach much higher
state Of perfection.
The same rule will apply to the
fruit. Too many limbs furnish the
opportunity for an excessive number
of buds, and with favorable condi-
tons you get too many blossoms,
with the result of far too many sets;
and your tree, unable to sustain the
great drain upon it, yields a large
number Of inferior apples. With
fewer limbs you get smaller num-
Der of apples, but at the harvest you
realize as many in bulk, and these
are merchantable and will command
much higher price in any market in
which they are exposed for sale.
Pruning out fruit trees is indeed
an important matter, and one that
receives too little attention. We will
do well to think upon this subject
these long winter evenings, and when
spring comes put our thoughts into
execution, give our. trees a genuine
surprise party, and in the autumn
we shall take pride in calling in our
neighbors to witness the bountiful
harvest; and when we receive the re-
turns from the consignment of APP
pies, the bill will not be marked No.

HOW TO MEND A SPLIT TREE.

holes through the broken and I'M
broken parts and place in these holes
bolts of a size that the size of the limbs
may indicate as correct. For small
] tree I use one-quarter inch bolts or
ordinary one-half inch bolts. In one
large butternut tree I used one-inch
bolts. I place one bolt midway of the
broken part, to bind the pieces closely
. together and one above the juncture
of the limbs-as shown in the cut-so
as to strengthen them. Use bolts with
small heads, and place washer under
the nut. In a few years both ends will
tbe covered with the growing wood and
the tree will be stronger than it ever
was.-L. B. Rice, in Agricultural Epito-
