POTATO W OF MAINE
Form Organization for Handling Crop
and Putting It on Markets to
Best Advantage.

1 have several times mentioned the
fact that the Aroostook potato grow
ers Of Maine were attempting to form
an association to aid them in grow
ing and handling their potatoes and
in placing them upon the markets
more advantageously, This ~associa-
ton has now been formed with its
plans definitely outlined, and is now
ready for business, says a writer in
the New England Homestead. Through
It's methods, the consumer may profit,
as well as the grower.
This association is the result of the
united efforts Of the two Pomona
oranges In the county, through a
joint committee which began its work
early in April. The objects of the as
s~ociation are to adopt a more careful
system Of handling and grading, har-
vesting and shipping; to acquire new
and better markets by having agents
in different consuming, or shipping
centers, so as to keep posted on con
ditions and requirements; to devise
better and more economic methods of
marketing, thus making a saving to
the producer without increasing the
cost to the consumer. There are sew
eral other lines Of bushes the asso-
citation expects to take up later, but
there Is a feeling among the promo
tiers, that 1t is best to make haste
slowly along these lines.
The association Is capitalized for
$780, 900, divided into 10000 shares of
five dollars each. AS 1t Is a grange
movement the stock Is to be sold only
to members of the order, or to such
oranges as may elect to become stock.
holders. The plan is to establish a
shipping station at every place in the
county where 60 shares Of stock are
held, with not less than 20 members
At smaller stations and at sidings,
shipments will be made through the
general management.
All shipments are to be inspected
by competent inspectors employed by
the association, and none will be al
lowed to leave the county that are
not fully up to the guarantee. It is
expected that the handling of seed
stock may form quite a part of the
business Of the association and an at
tempt will be made to so conduct
this branch of the work as to insure
to each purchaser absolute certainty
that he receives tho variety he de
sired and that the stock is good Of
the variety. In other words the as
s~ociation will state what 1t sells and
sell what it states" L. E. Lutte oil

SWALLOWS EAT BOIL WEEWL
Farmers All Over State Interested Pro-
tecting Bird Life Before It Is
EverlastingIy Too Late.

EVeIlaSIlngIy LOO Ldle'
Decentralization William Hem
anyway, of the State Audubon Society,
is in receipt Of many communications
since the agitation of the idea of hold
ing a state convention to recommend to
the legislature more adequate laws for
the protection of game and insect de-
stroying birds and the movement seems
to meet with general approval.
YazoO county has voluntarily formed
an association of planters who say that
county will suffer a loss of nearly q
million dollars from insect pests this
year, and have banded together to pro
tect insect destroying birds. Thus far,
the quail has been mentioned as the chief
enemy of the boil weevil, but now a
correspondent calls attention to the fact
hat the swallow is also a boil weevil
exterminator, and cites the Year Book
of the United States department OF
agriculture, at page ITO, where it is said;
"Valuable at all times and at all
places favored by their presence, the
swallows have a peculiar v%lue to the
Southern cotton planter, for thsy prey
upon the cotton boil weevil "a it flies
over the folds on its errand Of GOstrle-
ton. The more that swallows can be
induced to nest in the cotton states,
and the more they can be increased in
the north to migrate south, the better
it will be for the cotton planter and
incidentally the whole country. Espe-
cially important is it that swallows be
protected from the assaults of the Eng
fish sparrow, which coyets their nesting
sites. Not only do these pests drive
away swallows from their nests, but
they evsn throw out their eggs and kill
the helpless young"
"We have got to carry on a cam
paign of education" said President Hem
ingway. eve must let the farmers
know that the quail, and the swallow
and other birds are their friends. Ma
ture balances all things, and if there
had been a sufficient supply of insect
destroying birds in Mississippi l am
sure the boil weeviI and the army worm
and the caterpillar pest would never
have assumed the proportions they have.
"The people of the state are interest
ed-the grown men and women-but in
every school l think a short, interesting
lecture and list of friendly birds and
reptiles should be given every week or
so to impress upon the boys, so that the
wanton destruction of mans natural
allies in the fight shall cease. 1 believe
it will when the people understand it
is rapidly approaching the point Of a
fight for agricultural existence, and we
need these natural forces"

NO PAUPER, NO PENSION.
Webster County Board Would Change
Present Laws.

Jackson.-Declaring that under the
present state pension law and system,
pauperism is made a condition precedent
to successful application of a veteran
of the Confederate States service for
the modicum of relief which the Missls-
sippi pension laws provide for these
worthless or their widows, the Webster
county pension board has come forward
with a resolution declaring for a change
in the law calculated to eliminate that
feature. In the preamble to the resolu-
ton proper the committee sets forth
that in order to secure consideration Of
his application, any old veteran in order
to secure favorable action by the au-
thorities higher up must prove conelu-
sively hat he is a pauper, which as
they declared is humiliating.
The gist of the resolution is that the
legislature be approached with a view
of inducing it to so change or modify
the law as to place all Confederate vet
Grams with honorable records on the
same footing. They would have the law
to so read as to eliminate the present
pauper's oath system, and have the APP
plicant simply certify to the satisfaction
of the pension board of his county as to
his service, in the army or navy OF the
Confederacy, which would be a sine
u non as to his eligibility.

PRINCIPLES of Baklno.

The principles of baking without an
over are the same, whatever article is
selected. Care must always be used
to keep the baking article well COW
cred and to prevent burning, 1t is
best t. begin with the simplest things,
such as potatoes with the jackets on,
and then graduate into the more COM
pick, like pies and buildings. There is
no mystery whatever connected with
the process and no involved details
to be followed. Two things only are
to be particularly remembered: Do
not turn the gas too high, and
wherever possible, especially with
pastries, use a heavy iron skillet in
addition to the hot plate, as this re-
tains the heat with little danger OF
burning.

COTTON SHIPMENTS.
Ruling of Interstate Commerce Commits
sion Relative to Same.

AullhE VI AhNNAoI0NN
sion Relative to Same.
Jackson.-All the agents of railways
in the state, cotton factors and buyers
and banking institutions, have been fur
nished with copies of the ruling of the
interstate commerce commission relative
to cotton shipments.
The rule provides that on all cotton
shipped to a concentration point, or
compress point, the original shipper
must see that the local freight agent
states on the face of the bill of lading,
For reshipment," in order to render the
expense bill into the concentration point
available when the cotton is again re-
shipped after compression.
"On cotton not so billed, the expense
into the concentration point will be dead
and of no value for reshipment," states
the circular.
The banks especially are seeing that
the ruling is being given a wide distri-
button among the cotton dealers and
merchants in order that there may be no
hitch in dealing with them with cotton
as the subject.

FALLEN CAKE" OF ENGLAND
Recipe for a Pastry That Takes Long
to Cook, but Is Worth
While.

TO make what the English call fallA
en- cake, cream a quarter of a pound
of butter and beat into 1t half a pound
of moist sugar. Beat five eggs until
quite stiff with an egg whisk, and
mix with the butter and sugar. Add,
with a -four dredger, a little at a time,
half a pound of flour and any iavoring
liked. Beat for twenty minutes. Mix
a cupful each of chopped and stoned
ralsins and well-waahed currants and
half a cupful of chopped candied peel
and blanched almonds. Have ready a
square cake tin lined with three thick
nesses of buttered paper, and pour in
an inch-deep layer or the sponge mix
ture.
Sprinkle a layer of fruit and then
add a thin layer of the sponge. Strew
in the rest of the fruit, and pour e
ly over all the remainder of the
sponge mixture. Bake In a moderate
oven and do not open the door for
half an hour or more, or the cake will
fall. Cook for ~three-quarters Of an
hour, or till done.
If the cake is very deep an hour will
not be at all too long. When 1t is
taken from the oven ice thinly with a
boiled icing and strew very thickly
with chopped almonds and walnuts.
When cut, the bottom Of the cake
should show a mass Of fruit, while
the top is a plain sponge. II preferred,
the bottom may be any rich fruit
cake, but 1t is nicer made according
to the above recipe.

New Financial Institution.

Meridian.-What may be called an
innovation in financial circles in Missis-

that movement which is now being in
stituted by one of the strongest audit

put the state banks on a safe operating
basis and protect the interests of the

ditions in Mississippi, Meridian was Sc
lected as the headquarters for the state,
