TOBACCO GROWING.
Against to
Destroy
No crop in the South has
many enemies to contend with as
tobacco. Those begin to harass
the existence of the plant as soon
as it lifts its head above the ear-
face of the plant-bed. The horn
worm plies his avocation in
and July and tries to destroy the
crop. the leaves are
and manufactured then the
anti tobacco crank begins his
work, and really for the bewitch-
weed there is no rest until its
substance is lost in smoke through
the gentle pipe of peace-
There are different kinds of in-
sects which attack the plant
its growth, and which must
be guarded vigilantly.
The first is the flea bug which
does its work the plant-bed.
Then comes the cut warm, the
pest which attacks the plant first
after it is set out. The bud worm
begins later and destroys the
growth of the plant. The last of
all is the horn worm and the most
deadly in its ravage on the
the one insect of all others to
be most carefully watched. We
save below the most approved
meas for destroying each ;
The flea bug is the first to at-
tack tobacco and begins its de-
predations in the plant bed soon
after the plants are up. The
most satisfactory way of
is to apply to the young
plants plaster in which rags sat-
with kerosene oil have
lain for a short while. If the in
sects are very troublesome cover
the plants with the plaster and
repeat after each rain if
Keep a close watch on the
plant bed. who do not
canvas their plant beds find that
cedar brush scattered over
the surface is often effective in
driving away the flea bug. These
little pests are worse some sea-
sons than others, and nothing but
the closest watchfulness will in-
sure the safety of the young
plants whenever they make their
appearance.
In April or May or even in
early when the plants have
been set cat worm
begins its work. This is nothing
more than the ordinary cat worm
which crawls during the night aid
outs off the tender plant just
the surface- There is no
way to the except
by hand, and when they are many
a close watch should be main-
for them- Stubble lands
and such as have been allowed to
grow off in weeds or clover Hie
year before are prolific
of this troublesome pest.
Of all the insects which infest
tobacco plants the bud worm is
perhaps the least troublesome,
and yet it will do great damage
to a crop unless watched. Its
home is in the tender bud of the
tobacco stalk where it feeds on
the tender heart leaves, so that
when they grow out they are
perforated with holes and almost
useless for anything except trash.
The only way to rid the plant of
the pest is to hunt them down
and kill them, which is a slow and
tedious job.
The horn worm is the crop de-
and the insect of all
others which does the greatest
damage. Maj- Ragland has made
a careful study of the horn worm
and not of his majesty alone, but
of methods calculated to best
destroy the pest, and gives the
following valuable
hawk moth or tobacco fly
usually makes his appearance in
Virginia in the month of May.
The eggs deposited by the first
moths hatch out from five to
seven days or worms. The
worm sheds its outer skin twice
before it gets its growth.
growing stage of the worm lasts
from twenty-five to thirty days,
and after it has attained its
growth it gorges itself a few days
loDger, and then crawls or bur-
rows into ground, where it
soon passes into the pupa state ;
and after some twenty-three or
twenty-five days from the time of
its crawling into the ground the
papa sends forth a moth to lay
more eggs and hatch oat more
worms Each moth is capable of
laying on an average two
eggs. So that for every
moth in May we may reasonably
expect at least one hundred
worms, of the first brood; and if
none of these are destroyed, but
all allowed to to moths,
and latter to raise s horde of
worms, what wonder that the sec-
brood sometimes appears in
such countless as to de-
all efforts to destroy them be-
fore they have rained the crop
Every moth ought to be destroy-
ed as it appears, and this may
be done to a great extent by
ejecting a few drops of sweetened
cobalt is a into the
flowers of the Honey-
suckles, or Jamestown
weed, which will give them their
final quietus. Bat this for
the moth is not general, and if it
were some would escape- Bat if
every planter would wage a war
of on first
brood of a
thing rarely done -they would
never appear in such
able hordes later in the
It has been found advisable to
plant weeds about the
tobacco fields in order to have
their flowers as a means through
which to administer the cobalt.
Tobacco is a plant whose
growth must be checked in early
summer, or it will put on too
much leaf. This is what is known
as topping. When a bud
pours in the top of the that
indicates that the plant is getting
ready to send, and at this stage
the plant should be topped- This
is usually done by going through
the field and off the top
of the plant. The number of
leaves which should be allowed to
mature on each stalk depends
very much on the quality of the
land and the amount of fertilizer
used. If the land is quite
strong or the fertilizing heavy,
the plant may be at from
fourteen to sixteen or
teen leaves. If the land is poor
and the fertilizing light let the
topping range from ten to four-
teen leaves. The hand who does
the topping has to judge of each
plant how many leaves should be
to remain on the stalk
and ripen. A little practice, how-
ever, so n makes this an easy
part of the work.
The suckers that appear soon
after the tobacco is topped
should not be allowed to got
than a man's thumb, for by
letting thorn remain on the stalk
the leaves of the tobacco do not
broaden or become
oped, as the suckers take up the
of the stalk

but light, unsalable
Tobacco requires about
three courses of suckers to be
taken off, and then it is nearing
maturity.
TOBACCO MANURES

A SHORT CROP.
Advice was pretty freely given
Southern Tobacconist,
The tobacco plant probably
more individual
than any other plant
under general cultivation, and
because of its peculiarities its
culture cannot be engaged in with
any measure of success by farm-
unskilled inexperienced
in handling the crop. The differ-

early period in the history of its
cultivation and our earliest rec-
of sales very differ-

upon quality.
standing the early and general
recognition of difference in
of tobacco, we find that
there is a very decided lack of in-
formation upon the subject of
what are the requisites of soil, of
fertilization and of growth which
go to make up the desired
Of course tobaccos for different
purposes are graded upon very
different stales, but the bulk of
the crop is used for smoking and
and it is smoking tobacco that
roles and sets the prices in the
market. In smoking tobacco the
flavor and aroma may be said to
be the primary essentials and if
for cigar making the texture,
fineness of leaf with small veins
and ribs are equally important
factors, yet a tobacco may be
produced in the main
all those characteristics and vet
be very deficient in
that is having a poor burning
quality, and, in consequence
thereof, b e very nearly worthless,
and in order to be used to any
advantage at all must be mixed
with tobacco possessing a very
good combustibility, thus causing
one tobacco to barn and sell the
other.
A good burning tobacco is one
that will continue to glow for
some considerable time after be-
ignited, leaving a pale, gray
or white ash and in cigars the ash
should hold together.
There is no plant under
cultivation that can be mo de-
to a greater extent in one or
all of these essential qualities by
fertilization and cultivation than
the tobacco plant, and particular-
tobacco growers last year to u this true in regard to com-

the weather was against them.
The 1894 crop, while improve-
over that of the year
was far from a first class
one, being deficient more
in wrappers. Wrappers
are becoming very scarce in the
market, and if the farmers do not
have better luck this summer, the
plug manufacturers will be in
trouble next season-
In regards to the size of last
year's crop, it was undoubtedly
short as a whole. All of the
leading markets report a falling
off in sales as compared with the
year before, and although
have been made by some of the
minor markets, their increase of
business will by no means offset
the decrease at larger mar-
Danville will probably be
behind about six or seven million
pounds, and Lynchburg, Winston
and other cities will show a pro-
loss. The shortage
which they show at present will
be greater as the season

far of the crop has passed of

indications that the end is close

habits of the tobacco plant
and their ultimate effect upon its
quality, and particularly the
burning quality. These
though conducted on
Maryland soils, yet have brought
out many facts that are equally
applicable to the crop wherever
grown. The experiments show
potash salts to be most
potent factors in changing the
composition and quantity of the
tobacco produced. It was shown
very plainly that of pot-
ash, and low grade
of potash were unfit for use
as a tobacco fertilizer and should
never be applied to lands that
were ever to be cultivated in to
because the chlorine
which these potash salts contain
is taken freely by the
tobacco plant and chlorine always

burning qualities. On the other

best combustibility was grown

its use.
12th. Never apply lime to

it in tobacco. In fact its bad
effects in curing will sometimes
last for several years.
13th. Phosphoric acid

not affect the quality.
14th. Nitrogen produces most
cases an increased yield, but no
marked effects on quality could be
detected.
15th. Yard manure is not well
adapted to tobacco, as it is apt
to contain detrimental chlorine
and contains
too much and too
little phosphoric acid and potash.

THE GRAVE.
Story cf the Touching Love of and Old
for Ker Dead Mistress.
About R month ago there passed
a but hopeful
little party, Mr. Hamilton, a pros-
of Greenville.
Mrs. Hamilton, an invalid, and a
faithful old colored nurse. They
were on their way to Asheville
where it was hoped the change
I and the invigorating air of the
I mountains would bring health to
the wife.
Yesterday there stepped from
j a train from tho west Mr. Ham-
the nurse. From the
ear was lowered to the
station platform a box which con-
the mortal remains of Mrs.
Hamilton, just a corpse, which
the sorrowing husband nurse
were accompanying to
At that place the burial took place
yesterday afternoon, and in the
grave with the dead woman went
many of the bright hopes of the
husband when he passed here on
his trip to Asheville.
But the old nurse is the subject
of this story. Her conduct at the
depot yesterday flavored more of
the novel than it did of a real
man in this vary real day and
generation, but it showed how-
much loving a colored woman is
capable of.
With feeble, halting step and
head, she walked
the depot, first the wait-
room, where she confided her
sorrow to Molly, the waitress, and
the lobby, but every now
and then she would walk down
the long depot shed and gaze
long, but silently at the box in
which were the remains of her
dead mistress. She did not weep,
her eyes had a glassy-
hard expression that gave one
the idea that weeping was an
impossibility; her yellow skin
looked parched and hard, and the
Beams her face were drawn
into pathetic lines.
It seems that when her mistress
died, Mr. Hamilton wished to
send the old nurse away to her
relatives- Hut her almost
cal love for her dead mistress
made her positively refuse to
agree- For two days she has not
touched food, drinking only a
little water for sustenance.

Feminine Ingenuities.
Of the multifarious uses of the
hairpin, some, at least, are well
known. They are suggested by a
French traveler's description of a
pin which the Indian women of Peru
wear as a fastening for their shawls.
Its head is in the shape of a spoon
and a in one.
It is odd, the Frenchman says, to
see a woman pull out the pin, letting
her shawl drop from her bare
and proceed to use it for eat-
her soup or porridge. After the
repast she passes tho bowl of the
spoon carefully between her lips
two or three gathers up her
shawl and fastens it in place.

Origin of tho Blouse.
After the fall of the Roman em-
the sexes started about fair in
the matter of clothes. Our
ancestors adopted a costume which
was almost the same for men and
women, and consisted of two main
garments, the Roman and
toga. The was virtually a
shirt with long sleeves, was
buckled at the waist. The men wore
it reaching to the knee the
women to tho ankles. colder
northern latitudes the men, as a
great innovation, added trousers,
but these were looked upon in the
light of a distinct extra, and were
not considered obligatory In hot
weather. There seems to be no
doubt that the blouse of the modern
peasant is a direct descendant of the
Magazine.

Wood Pavement In London.
The new tower bridge is paved
with the wood of the eucalyptus
tree from Australia. The blocks
are about the size of building
bricks and their top surface has
edges, thus affording horses a
foothold. They are fastened to-
by means of pegs put
through them and fitted Into
holes In the adjoining
blocks. This wood is a dark ma-
color, Is very but
heavy and durable. It laid ac-
cording to the Duffy patent system

of the London streets, but In them
it is laid in a simpler and less costly

Stockings for the spring will be
very, very pretty. All of the black
silk stockings have embroidered in-
steps in bright colors, or are made
with open lace work, and one of the
decided novelties is to have stripes
of embroidery on the stocking length-
wise. Tan with scarlet embroidery
or blue with scarlet polka-dots will
be fashionable; also some very
brown stockings, to worn
with the tan shoe, have patterns
embroidered on them in black, and
it is extremely chic.
White gloves have never been
more successful than they arc now,
and every woman possesses at least a
dozen pairs of these. One, I can
easily do this in Paris, where, if you
are clover, can purchase the
nicest sort of a white glove for
fifty cents, and thus, in having such
a large number, you do not give
them such hard wear. The newest
in stitching on these gloves is a
double row of black and white on
tho white glove.
Dainty miniature pins, surrounded
by gold or brilliants, are the favor-
pieces of jewelry, and they
are pretty with the exquisite
faces of Mme. and the
other beauties of the empire time,
painted so well and set off by the
jeweled or gold edging.
Lace collars, deep and of every
quality and pattern of lace, are seen
all about tho shops, worn with dark-
gowns. In great numbers. They are
deeper than they were last season
and of n heavier lace. One of ecru,
on a deep bodice, was a great
success.
Slippers arc made of yellow kid,
on the style of the and
these have a broad steel buckle at
the front and are used in the car-
in place of ties. Another fad
ID slippers is to have them of tan,
finished with black binding of sill;
and adorned with black rosettes or a
black jet buckle.
Umbrella handles of ivory, stud-
with small do are the
latest In that department of
belongings, but they are very
expensive, and I like quite as well
some of the wooden handles with
round tops of or Dresden,
with a rim of gold. The swagger
however, is the long, slim
ha idle of either gold or silver.
Fronts come in every material, in
every and every price, so,
consequently, everybody wears
them. The newest are those of
cornflower blue made
with a high collar and two small
rosettes at the side, while from that
falls the gathered with a
yoke of then a ruffle,
and then the drawn down
Into tho belt. Another front of rose
and black-striped silk had full collar
of black chiffon and the front of the
silk falling from the collar to the
waist in accordion plaits.
Yokes of steel and capes of this
material arc fashionable, but are
luxuries. One I saw was made of
long chains of steel, draped from
shoulder to shoulder and tied in
knots, with a collar of solid steel.
This adorned a plain black
waist, and was the only bit of trim-
ming on a plain black silk
displayed at a recent opening.
Veils continue to be simple, with
an occasional novelty, which, how-
ever, never seems to catch popular
favor. The thin meshes, with dots,
or a rather heavy mesh, perfectly
plain, are the favorites. Golden-
brown veiling with an entire brown
toilette is pretty, but in all other
cases It Is black alone that is worn
with all ports and conditions of head-
gear.
