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 the tobacco thereby damaged and will m nothing but light, unsalable Tobacco requires about three courses of suckers to be taken off, and then it is nearing maturity. TOBACCO MANURES Kind Productive of Certain Re- A SHORT CROP.

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- curtail their acreage and do their Experiments have utmost the direction of pro- shown that the combustibility of better leaf- They met I tobacco is chiefly dependent upon with poor success as a general the composition of the ash ; that thing in improving the quality j the proportion and not because they did not try hard enough bat for the reason that 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 for the biggest proportion by far of the crop has passed of the hands, and breaks during the summer promise to be light and to cease almost alto- some time before fall. The Eastern North Carolina markets are already resting, and there Are indications that the end is close by for the central district of the State. South Carolina got through a month or so ago. Quietness will on the Piedmont North Carolina and the Virginia mar many weeks elapse. The 1894 crop affords a plenty of good working stock, and supply of all grades, common and medium in particular and wrap- excepted, is ample to last several years.

With tobacco we find ourselves confronted with a very different condition of affairs, it often being easy to produce an increase in the field, but the pro duct will be of an inferior quality and, in consequence, its total value much less than it would have without the Again, fertilizers will often show little if any increase in yield, but cause a groat improvement quality, and thus give returns by bringing more per pound than it would have otherwise. The Agricultural Station has been making experiments along this line and studying the of our chief fertilizing element the feed- 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 produces a tobacco with bad burning qualities. On the other band, high grade sulphate of pot ash always improved the burning qualities. of potash produces tobacco with the best com The of potash was in most cases accompanied by an Increase in yield, is many the increase was small. Phosphoric Sid fists little direct g up on the combustibility, bat it generally produces a very decided increase in the yield. Lime and magnesia compounds in small quantities seemed to produce little effect pro or con, but in large ties it produced a tobacco cured badly and had an inferior texture; the duration of glow was considerably larger with lime and magnesia tobacco, but in cases the ash was of a bad color. On the whole, while lime and mag will often very materially increase the yield, yet their quality is such that their cannot L t recommended. The salient principles in the use of fertilizers for the tobacco crop may be summarized as fol- lows 1st.

The tobacco having the best combustibility was grown with carbonate of potash but tho cost of carbonate often excludes its use. 12th. Never apply lime to land immediately before planting it in tobacco. In fact its bad effects in curing will sometimes last for several years. 13th. Phosphoric acid ally increases the yield, but does not affect the quality. 14th. Nitrogen produces most cases an increased yield, but no marked effects on quality could be detected. 15th.

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. wanted to send me away to my told Molly with a pitiful, dry sob yesterday, I told no- I is going to and there I'm going to lay the rest of my days so as I can tend to my And so in the morning the band, the touching figure of the old, bent nurse and the plain box that the cause of all his trouble, went away on the New- News and Observer.

This was repeated three times, the being allowed to burn longer at each test, the last time so long that none of the tors thought the tire could be put But it was extinguished quickly, test proving satisfactory. The Council- men accepted the engine closed the contract. THE FIRE ENGINE. It Is a Water Test and a Success. The new fire en which the Board of contracted for and were to accept in case it came up to what was guaranteed for it, was brought down from the depot Thursday evening and en a thorough water test. The first test was made in front of the Market House, the suction hose being lowered into the well there and a stream of water was thrown over the Court House steeple, M feet high. The engine was then placed at the well near Pen- store and the hose was ran out to 0- T. residence two blocks away, bat the well did not afford sufficient water to make this test. Then the fire company took the engine to the river bridge, placed it near the draw, lowered the suction to the river, the hose up the hill nearly to second street, and from the street threw a stream cf water over the Masonic Lodge. This was as severe a test as the engine could well be subjected to, and it did all that could be expected of it. We be- the engine is a thoroughly good if an adequate water supply is now provided the town will be well protected against fire. The engine will be put to a tire test this evening in the old field near the College For this pose a rough structure x feel IS feet high has been put up. This house will be filled with combustible material, the whole saturated with oil and fire set to it. If the puts this out there will be no room to doubt that it will do everything for it.

But, according to a medical the latest hazard in infection is confined to children. Many toys arc now offered on the of city streets by ant One of these is a tube of paper furnished with a short piece of bamboo at one end, up to which it Is coiled by the action of a slight steel spring. On blowing into the bamboo tho coil is unrolled and shoots out nearly a yard and the sudden extension has a comical effect, very entertaining to the youthful mind. Another form of toy is the miniature bagpipe, which is made to emit its characteristic sounds by the pressure of air from a small rubber ball which has been air blown from the FOR SPRING AND SUMMER, f r Wear in Want An i h -t Tim I Will ll with the and Art Prominent Feature.

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. The same women use their slippers Instead of point in which they may be said to have the advantage of their North American sisters, who, having no pockets, or none within comfortable reach, are compelled to carry their purses in their hands. The money of Lima consists of bank notes, which go very well into the bottom of a slipper. As to the effect upon the bills, perhaps tho least said tho better. There is an old saying that money always smells Companion. Childish Prattle. little 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. Two little girls, sisters, were quarreling one day, and tho young- est, out of spite, began walking in and out of the room, leaving the door open her. The older sister left her play several times and shut the door, upbraiding her sister each time for it open.

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 with machinery. Wood is replacing stone pavement in of the London streets, but In them it is laid in a simpler and less costly Marvelous Machinery. At Ash tabula the Lake Shore company has Introduced some mar- machinery for unloading coal and loading ore, and this company's facilities for handling such materials will be greater this season than ever before. One of the new is a large revolving cylinder, into which a car loaded with thirty tons of coal is allowed to run, and, by means of hydraulic machinery, is turned completely over and its load dumped into a chute, which conducts It Into tho hold of a barge. Obliged to Forfeit. One evening Colley by missing his cue and giving a message at tho wrong moment, spoiled one of best scenes.

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. Silk of lavender, cut very pointed bank and front, with the merest scrap of a band to hold them on over the shoulder, and with a of the finest open work em- are to wear with de- gowns. Barbara Kent.
