through his tobacco

Hodges, he called our attention
to one row of tobacco in the
middle of the field, that was at
least by an actual of the
leaves one third smaller the
surrounding tobacco. He said
that it was all manured just alike
and that no attention would ever
have been given the row had it
not been for the fact that there
was a difference of opinion as to
the best mode of starting the
of the tobacco, One con-
tended that the plow should
be used in throwing dirt from
the tobacco while Mr. Hodges
contended that the cotton king or
harrow was the best
to use the first time the tobacco
was worked- under the
of opinion they decided
to use the harrow on all except
one row through the middle of
the field- This row was barred
off with a turn plow worked
afterwards just like the other to-

Mr. O. L-
Dear reply to fa-
me to give you my
views as to tun of a
tobacco crop is at hand. In re
ply, I will say me in my
infancy regarding tobacco
I fear my views will of
little value interest, however, I
am willing to do what I can to help
my fellow-man and if yon find the
following, my experience in to-
worth anything,
you use it, if you wish-
It seems to me that the groat

in tobacco culture must be tho re

judgment from the very begin-
This it mast be remember-

In selecting laud for tobacco I
am always careful to pick out a
medium gray soil from to inch-
es deep with a yellow clay sub-
soil. I prefer rested laud with a
good heavy coat of muck- I break
the land thoroughly early
just as soon as the muck
has been killed by frost, then in
February I sow broadcast about
or bushels of cotton seed
and then break land again by
cross In February I
prepare my land which is a
import ant matter, for with-
out plenty of vigorous, healthy
transplanting will be de-
I always find first
setting the best.
The laud should to a
about an inch drag
off the coals, and to square
yards of laud put of
stable and then dig it
into the laud. I then broadcast
pounds of of cot
ton seed meal and dig in with a
rake, drag oil all foots trash
and mix one of
seed to square yards, mix in
ashes, dry sand or guano. I sow
over two or three to get
them regular and th pack them
with a roller w lien I find is the
best and fastest way, I put a scant-
ling frame around my bed about
six inches high and stretch can-
across close tight, so
as to keep out I then
dig trenches around bed to drain
off the water in case of wet
My experience is that manure
acts better a mellow
than a sour state, hence, I have
about five times as much dirt as I
have other manures into my lot
and mix all my stable, hog pen
and cow lot manure with the dirt,
grade them oil together and
throw up in a compost, and let it
remain ready for use. If
there have been hard packing
rains tho tobacco land needs a
third breaking in April. If in a
mellow I do break
tho third time. Now comes the
most important part, manuring
and the plants. I run off
my rows three a half feet
apart and very deep. I think this
quantity of manure would make a
very good tobacco, bushels of
the compost pounds
These should be
put in very careful regular to
prevent spotted crops and an
even stand. If you want to make
good tobacco, you must not think
of what it is costing to it,
but think how much more it will

a good
Tobacco that is half manured
requires about one-third more
work, because the Is poor
and you keep working the hard-
trying to make something out
of it. I find that a tobacco crop
does better transplanted from the
last week in April to the of
May- Tobacco lives much better
set with a transplanter and the
land just dry enough to require a
little water to wash the roots of
the young plants which gives it
early start. When set by
the dirt is often pressed too
hard at the top and not filled at
the bottom, which always gives
you a late and uneven crop.
In about eight days after the
tobacco has been transplanted I
use the turn plow with the Pate
wing attachment which is fastened
on to the bar, I run the bar side
to the tobacco not over two inch
es deep, I let it in this
condition about eight and
than side it up with a cotton plow
not very deep and split middles
immediately. When to

otherwise your tobacco will not

to have some one that
has had experience. Green and
ripe tobacco will not cure alike
it is necessary to have
some one aid in the who
understands it. It is useless for
me to undertake to give a

for as every tobacco farmer
knows no two will take

conclusion, I will say that
from my limited experience, I am
lead to believe that there is more
money satisfaction in a small
crop of tobacco well cultivated
nicely handled than a largo
crop struck at. No man has
business trying to cultivate a crop
of tobacco, unless he is going to
stay with it and give it his

They are charming in the drawing-

lounge, where a near and dear friend
is stretched languid and weary

But the girl who is addicted to

before work of securing a
foundation for the Speedway retain-

The work is of a character to
interest engineers. Though
somewhat similar steps been
adopted once or twice in the history
of science before, never
have the same intricate problems
been presented as now. The success
of this experiment will be watched,
therefore, with interest. Its cost
will probably be in the neighborhood
of thirty-five thousand dollars.
James D. Leary has the contract
for constructing the section of Speed-
way upon which this unusual effort
is to be made, and, curiously enough,
the difficulty was encountered in the
final fifty feet of his contract, which
extends One Hundred and
Fifty-fifth street to High Bridge.
The work necessitates sinking a re-
wall to a foundation
along the river side of the Speed way,
and soundings at this
particular point rock
eighteen feet below the surface.
Whether their sounding rods struck
a detached stone here or not is not
certain, but it has developed that
hard bottom is probably twenty
feet lower than supposed mt the
outset.
After sinking their sheeting -to

quired depth it was found to be too
short, and then a bed of quicksand

made, this emergency the ex-

That tyrannical old Gov. Andros,
who so sorely vexed the souls of our
Puritan ancestors, left as a
of his high-handed rule King's
chapel, which still stands on the
corner of School and
streets, Boston. Until this reckless
governor from Merry England
rived upon the scene, the austere
admirers of Oliver Cromwell had
rigorously refused a foothold in

ship, considering a Church of Eng-

An Ingenious
A. resident of Auburn, Me., has
invented an ingenious device for
feeding his horses, and he does it
with one of the ordinary little alarm
clocks. The horse gets Its feed
grain when the alarm goes off. For
instance. If be wants the horse to
have its morning feed of grain at
five o'clock and be himself does
care to turn out until six o'clock, he
sets his alarm for five o'clock, and
when morning comes the horse gets
its breakfast an hour before his
owner's eyes are open. It is so
arranged that the alarm pulls the
slide, letting the grain run through
a sluice to the manger.

THE UNEXPECTED.
A Cat In a Basket and Her
Kittens.
A stout old lady with a red face
and a big market basket on her arm
boarded a crowded avenue
car yesterday afternoon, and taking
the only vacant seat, deposited her
basket in front of her. In a few
minutes strange sounds began
emerging from the basket and the
stout old lady showed visible signs
of embarrassment. The racket con-
and finally she tried to quiet
the such it speak-
to It. Her efforts were futile,
though, and an old gentleman sitting
next to her thought she had better
take off the lid and see what was the
trouble; maybe it was caught in
some manner. Gallantly dropping
on one knee the old gentleman raised
lid Slightly and inside.
He took one look. His face grew
red and silently replacing the lid he
walked to the platform and jumped off
without waiting for the car to stop.
This peculiar action aroused the
curiosity of the rest of the
while the owner of the basket
appeared to be greatly mystified. By
this time the noise had ceased, but
fully determined to investigate her-
self the old lady tore the lid of the
basket completely off. Horrors
Instead of one cat there were four,
three being sleek little kittens, all
scrambling around with their eyes
shut. The passengers were all
crowding around now to get a look
at the new family. But the stout
old lady did not seem to relish her
position and signaled the conductor
to stop at the next

A Locomotive.
A tireless locomotive was recently
used on the Julich
railroad. The motive power Is de-
rived from soda. The invention is
based on the principle that solutions
of caustic which have high
boiling points, liberate heat while
absorbing steam. These engines
eject smoke nor steam, and
work noiselessly.
coal-burning locomotives, the soda
engines have a capacity equal to the
former, while they are worked with
greater ease and simplicity.
