Dixon, of Greene interest county will be read with by all the farmers : Wi_tow GREENE, N. C., July 16th, 1895. Mr. O. L. JOYNER, Dear Sir: —Iin reply to ycur fa- vor asking meto give you my views asto the managment ofa tobacco crop is at hand. In re ply, I will say finding me in my infancy regardiug tobacco cul- I fear my views will be of little value or interest, however, I am willing to do what I can to help my fellow man ana if you tind the in to- worth anything, ture. following, my experience bacco culture, you can use it, if you wish. It seems to me that the -great est success that can be obtained in tobacco culture must Le the re salt of careful thought and sober judgment from the. very begin- ning- This it must be remember- ed is the base rock of all success- ful tobacce growers and without which it is only chance that sic- cess in tobacco cultare is ever made. In selecti og land for tobacco I ‘am always careful to pick out a medium gray soil from 6to Sinch ‘es deep with a ‘yellow clay. sub- ‘soil. I prefer rested land- witha good heavy coat of muck. I break the land thoroughly early in. Oc- ‘tober, jast-as soon ‘as’ the muck good train going Going south, has. been al ad by frost, then in and then break land again by very important matter, for. with- ‘out plenty of vigorous, healthy setting the best. The land should Ge burned to a crust abont an inch deep,thén drag off the coals, and to 300 square yards of land I put 20 bushels of into the land. I then broadcast 190 pounds of gaano, 150 of cot ton seed meal and dig. in witha rake, drag off ail roots and trash and mix one tablespoonfall of seed to 109 square yards, mix’ in ashes, dry sand or guano. I sow them regular and then pack them in with a roller which I find isthe best and fastest way, [ put ascant hong frame around my bed about 31x ipches high and stretch can- vass across close and tight, so as to keep out insects. I then off the water in case of wet weath er- My experience is that manure acts better ina mellow condition than in 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 all together and throw up in a compost, and let it remain until ready for use. If there have been -hard packing rains the tobacco land needs «4 third breaking in April. Ifin a mellow condition I do not break the third time. Now comes the most important part, manuriog and setting the plants. Irun off my rows three anda half feet apart and very deep- I think this quantity of manure would make a very good tobacco, 200 bushels of the com post.and 700 pounds gu atio. “These matures «should be put in very careful and regalar to prevent spotted. crops and ah un ood iobee If you. want to make | tobsecio, you eve. not think Hn aw February I sow broadcast about! 20 or 30 bushels of cotton seed). cross ploughing.

Tobacco that 1s half manured requires about one-third more work, because the tobacco is poor and you keep working the hard- of it. I findthat a tobacco crop does better transplanted from the last week in Apriltothe 20th of May. Tobacco lives much better set with a transpianter and the land just dry enough to require a little water to wash the roots of the young plants which gives it an early start. When set by hand the dirt is yery often pressed too hard at the top and not filled at the bottom, which aiways gives you a late and uneven crop. (CONCLUDED TO-MORROW.) Returned.

Several years ago a young man, whom we will call H, was employed as night operator at & stnall town in THinois. The second night of his a 4 eircus arrived in town and with ita great many farmers from the sur- rounding country. H went on duty at seven o’cléck in ‘the evening. About an hour later a stranger came gn to send & telegram. As soon as he had written and paid for the message the operator sat down to the instrument and proceeded to tick off the telegram. which was brief. ‘and read, not including’ address and ature: ‘‘Have sean the party send mee the muney.” When the operator had nearly finished sending the message ‘che re- ceiving operator . telegraphed back, “What are you givin’ us?” referring to the spelling of the message. ‘The rules of the Western Union Co. prohibit, any conversation on the wires between. operators, but nevertheless this le is | frequently |, | broken. bats} aise a Petia rule that 8 always be sent and cairn isthe ‘as they are written, even if, as ids.often the case, the Sao ee thle erator’s query‘as By cae epi “givin” him” he ‘re- H plied — “Make it read ‘Have' Maguesia. ceiving paki beg “fF guess the bloke that’ wrote it never saw the inside of a school" said the sending operator. The next moment he was chilled to the marrow by the soft words that wafted o'er his shealder. ‘*Young fellow, that was.a cipher message. Iam a detective and also. an operator. I heard your rémarks on the wire, and if you don’t send that message the way I wrote it, I shall sue your: company for: tifty thousand dollars. And, further- more, if you don’t take back and apologize for the remarks you made about my schooling I will pound your head off.”” These words caime from the “‘bloke” that wrote the message. It is superfluous: to add that the apology was forthcoming and the telegram sent again according to the ‘‘bloke’s” rules for spelling. Cannot Disguise Himself. “I am endeavoring to becume quite English,” writes a Boston man in London, ‘‘because it will save me from the tips of the first magnitude which servants expect from Americans.

PATTYS PRIVATIONS. A Thirsty Prima Donna Before the Concert. Pity the privations of the prima donna. Here is a ‘story of Mme. Patti which may be appropriately enough recalled. Once, when she returned from her daily drive, she was exceedingly thirsty, and asked M. Nicolini to have procured for ber a glass of water. icolini was hor- rified. ‘‘What!” he'shrieked. Ma mignonne, you know that-you are going to sing to-morrow night, and the water will chill your blood. Oh, nol I forbid water.” ‘‘Then give me a taste of wine,” pleaded the thirsty Patti. “Wine!” roared Nicolini. ‘‘Ma mignonne, you “are ‘going to sing to-morrow night, and -you. know that wine will heat. your blood. No, I cannot permit. ‘‘Please, cannot I have ‘somethin wet?” pleaded Patti, with ‘lips.

Fare for the roun $1.00 As long. as the- British plea Boston, King’s chapel was the ruling Boris in religious circles. The ritish ofGcers, who had been bois-. terous members of the riding school in the Old South church during the week; would throng to the King’s chapel on Sunday for reverent wor- ship. But this very sacrilege to tb- puritanical Old South proved tte ruin of the aristocratic worship in King’s chapel. It was brought about in this way: The members of King’s chapel courteously invited the.mem- bers of the old Old South church to worship with them while the damage caused by the riding school was being repaired. This invitation was grudgingly accepted. But this ill- mated union brought about a start- ling change in the belief of the King’s chapelites. They became dissatisfied with Episcopal doctrines, yet con- tinued to favor Episcopal forms. The result was, the adaptation of the Church of England service to Uni- tarian doctrines, and tbe First Episcopal church became the First Unitarian church of Boston. So the -| Puritans squared their accounts at last with the haughty old governor, who must have squirmed uneasily in his tomb at the hybrid metamor- phosis his pet church had under- gone. an Unmistaxabie ener *‘Remember, ‘my son,” said the prudent father, ‘‘that politeness doesn’t cost anything.” *“Yes,”’ was the reply, ‘‘I’ve heard that.” **You don’t doubt it, do you?” “Well, it certainly costs me about seven dollars @ week to get any po- litenezs out of the waiters at our , | hotel.
