NO. 10
CULTURE OF CUBA TO
BACCO.
[( . H. DuPont, in Proceedings of Flor
ida rruit Growers’Association. Taken
from Southern Cultivator Jan. No. 1877.]
The first thing that claims atten-
tention is the selection of a suitable
soil for the plant bed. This is to
be found in the freshly cleared
hammock of the best quality. The
soil should have a tendency to he
moist, but not springy or wet.
After grubbing up the undergrowth
and felling the trees, tlie land
should he well burned with burned
with brush and dry wood. This
is done to destroy the natural sour
ness which exists, in a greater or
less degree, in all freshly cleared
lands, and also to prevent the
springing up of weeds aud grass.
When the land has been suffi
ciently burned, the large chunks
and coals must he raked off, leav
ing the ashes to he incorporated
with the earth, and then it be
deeply dug up with a long maltock
hoe and all the roots taken out, so
as to leave the soil in a state of per
fect pulverization. Rake, and
smooth the surface preparatory for
the sowing of the seed, and ascer
tain by measurement how many
square acres are contained in the
bed. Then to every ten square
yards appropriate one heaped tea
spoonful of seed—the seed must
he mixed with dry ashes to facili
tate the equal distribution of sow
ing. The coveridg of the seed
must be done by passing a roller
over the surface, or laying down a
broad plank and walking over it
so as to press tlie seed into the
earth—raking or brushing in must
be avoided as it almost invariably
covers the seed too deeply, and
prevents a good stand. .Sowing
may commence about the middle
of January and be continued at
litervals of two or three weeks to
the first of March, so as to insure
mi abundant supply of plants, for
tin* earlier and later plantings.
rYfter the seed lias vegetated and
the plants have begun to grow,
care must he taken to keep the
bed clear of weeds and grass, by
hand-picking.
To facilitate the hand-picking,
and to avoid treading on the young
plants it is best to leave alleys of a
hoe’s width at intervals of three
feet across the bed.
As tlie cut worms sometimes at
tacks the beds and destroy tlie
plants, it is usual to have the beds
in different localities at each suc
cessive sowing. The next point
that claims attention is the selec
tion of
THE SOU. best adapf.d to tiie
RAISING OF TOBACCO.
Under this head much is to be
said. At the inauguration of to
bacco planting in Gadsden county,
the prevailing taste with the pur
chasers was for a light silky leaf,
suitable only for wrappers, and
tlie greater number of white specks
on the leaf the higher it was prized.
To produce that quality of to
bacco, it was found that the light
grey or sandy hammock, largely
interspersed with the growth of
beech, was the best adapted.
Subsequently, when the German
purchasers entered the market,
tlie taste changed to a heavier ar
ticle, and to accommodate these,
resort was had to the better quality
of hammock and oak and hickory
ridges, based upon a good subsoil
of strong red clay. That character
of soil produced the quality de
manded, and holds the preference
to the present day. At first it was
the prevailing opinion of planters
that the production of one crop of
tobacco rendered the land unfit for
the production of a second crop,
and hence all the tobacco pro
duced was grown on freshly cleared
land. However, in the course of
time, this opinion was found to he
erroneous, for frequently the sec
ond years crop was found to be
equal to aud sometimes better than
the productiod of the first year,
both in quality and yield. My own
opinion is that if care he taken to
keep the land from becoming fould
with weeds and grass, and the fer
tility is kept up by artificial means
to the original standard, there will
be no deterioration either in quali
ty off quantity of production for
any successive crops. What is
here said in regard to character of
lands best adopted to the cultiva
tion of tobacco must be taken to ap
ply chiefly to ante helium times.
It lias been demonstrated with
in the last two years that any good
high pine land based upon a sub
soil of clay (as is generally the case
in this country) will, hv a moder
ate application of fertilizers in the
hill, give as good return both m
quality and quantity, as the best
hammock or oak and hickory land.
PREPARATION OF RAX'D.
Lands designed for tobacco
should he perfectly cleared of all
standing timber. Limbs, pieces of
hark, and even pine straw falling
on the plants, is attended with
serious injury to the crop. After
the land has been cleared and pre
pared for the plough, it should be
thoroughly broken both ways witli
a jumping scooter. Let it then he
laid off with a scooter plough in
rows three and a half feet apart,
and crossed at right angles by
furrows three feet apart so as to
form checks or crosses, three and
half by three feet. This distance
is designed for first quality land,
where the plants will grow large ;
on an inferior quality of land the
checks may be drawn closer to
gether in proportion to the fertility
of the soil. The soil in each check
should then he well pulverized
with the hoe, and raised slightly
above the common level so as to
form a fiat hill—care being taken
to remove all roots large or small.
Thus manipulated, the field is then
prepared for
PLANTING.
At the first good shower of rain
occurring after the middle of
April, the larger plants should he
removed from the plant bed, and
work of setting out commenced.
A round stick should be used to
make holes for the reception of
the plants. In setting out take
hold of the plant by the leaves,
gathering them together, and then
insert the plant sufficiently deep,
so that the surrounding soil may
act as a support to keep tho plant
in position. This is done to pro
tect the tender hud from the effects
of the sun. At this season of tlie ,
year the plant will live without
any other protection. Later in
the season they should ho protect-1
ed by setting a large chip on the
south side of the plant. A piece of
bark, or even a magnolia leaf will
afford sufficient shade to insnre
life. At least one-fourth of the
crop should be set out at the first
planting, and the remainder can
lie set out as the season progresses.
It is found, however, that the plant
ings from the first to the middle of
May give the best results, both as
to quality and yield. If the sea
son is favorable a good crop may
be realized from plantings made as
late as the middle of June, but it is
hazardous to postpone to that date.
Changes in the Alliance Constitu
tion.
The national alliance made some
important changes in their con
stitution at Indianapolis. In the
first place state agents are no long
er admitted as members of the
supreme council. The press tele
grams report the following changes
also:
The second change permits farm
er’s wives to pay a per capita tax
and thus become a basis for re
presentation the same as males.
The third change refers to the
matter of eligibility to member
ship. Hitherto persons of mixed
occupations could join the alliance.
This was repealed and in its place
was adopted a provision that mem
bership shall lie restricted to farm
ers and farm laborers. An amend
ment proposed to admit city me
chanics hut was voted down.
Another change refers to the
matter of procuring legislation.
Hither to there has been a national
committee of legislation, composed
of presidents of various state Alli
ances. This committee was abol
ished and a provision was made
for the selection of a comittee of
five to act as an advisory board to
the president. The reason for this
change is that the president of
state Alliances are not lawyers,
and are not selected with reference
to their legal requirements or
knowledge of legislative demands,
and hence tlie nine cases out of ten
they are incompetent to meet the
requirements of the position.
With the admission of female
representation will probably come
the demand for female suffrage in
a wider field. Restricting mem
bership to farmers and farm labor
ers will leave high and dry the
politicians, many of them, at least,
who have wormed themselves into
the order hoping to get office.
Even Tom Watson couldn’t squeeze
in. No one, except Watson will be
sorry for this. It would appear
that the order distrusts the ability
of its state presidents to guide
legislation. It i* stated that these
presidents are not lawyers. It is
possible that five lawyers will get
a fat job out of the alliance.
The farmer who makes his own
supplies, who pays as he goes, and
there are many such, is not raising
a howl about the government loan
ing money at two per cent. He
has something better than the sub-
treasury plan.
The independent man is the man
of few wants and needs. He don’t
have to buy his meat, corn and
flour, hut draws a sight draft on his
own granaries and smoke house
for the same.
A Delaware cobbler gave his
wife a certain sum of money each
week for her personal use. He
never inquired what she did with
it, hut after thirty-nine years of
wedded life the wife died, and in
the drawer of an antique table the
husband found a bag containing
gold, also a roll of greenbacks,
amounting in all to $10,000.
The water in Iamonia lake lias
been for months disappearing. In
1854, so the older in habitants of
that locality say, the lake went
com pletely dry, the water running
out through a subterranean passage
in the bottom of the basin. It fill
ed up again, however, after a time,
and has remained full until a few
months ago, when the water began
gradually to disappear It is now
virtually dry, leaving millions of
fish dead in the bottom of the Lake.
Uncle Ham is running short on
territories. The last congress
made states out of all them except
four, Arizona, New Mexico, Utah
and Oklahoma. This does not in
clude Alaska. Alaska is out in
the cold. Two or three of these
territories will apply for admission
as states at tlie next session of
congress. As they are democratic
they may not get in. If they were
republican Harrison would
promptly approve their admission.
Well, we’ll have a demncratic
president in 1893.
There is one thing upon which
Southern people are to be con
gratulated, and that is the charac
ter of the Southern press. * The
great majority of Southern papers
are neatly printed and carefully
edited. Nor is this all, for most of
the managers are not only intelli
gent, but alive to the needs of their
sections, and are unsefish and un
tiring in their effort to promote the
best interests of the South. Re
publican and Democrat may fly at
each other’s head during a political
campaign, hut upon industrial
questions and general prosperity
they are pretty nearly a unit.
The Farmers National Alliance
convened at Indianapolis last week,
and if the press reports touching
its deliberations be true, there was
manifest a want of harmony among
tlie delegates. This ought not to
be. For the springing up of divi
sion, strife and contention among
alliancemen simply places in the
hands of the opposition, weapons
with which to thin the ranks of the
Alliance. To accomplish the grand
aims and objects outlined in the
fundamental principles of the Alli
ance there should be a concensus
of oppinion upon principal issues
and unity of effort among alliance-
men every where. This not only
ought, hut must he so, if the Alli
ance accomplishes its mission of
reform on those lines where so
greatlv needed in this country.
The Ocala lMallorni.
In response to numerous re
quest we publish below the various
demands set forth in the celebra
ted jOcala platform. It is taken
from the columns of the Southern
Alliance Farmer, and it is not
necessary, therefore, to vouch for
its genuineness:
1. (a) We demand the abolition
of national banks.
(b) We demand that the Govern
ment shall establish sub-treasuries,
or depositories in the several States,
which shall loan money direct to
the people at a low rate of interest,
not to exceed 2 per cent, per an-
num,on non-perishable farm pro
ducts, and also upon real estate,
with proper limitations upon the
quantity of land and amount of
money.
(c) We demand that the amount
of the circulating medium be
speedily increased to not less than
$50 per capita.
2. That we demand that Con
gress shall pass such laws as M ill
effectually prevent the dealing in
futures of all agricultural and
mechanical productions; providing
a stringent system of procedure in
trials that will secure prompt con
viction, and imposing such penal
ties as shall secure the most per
fect compliance with the law.
3. We condemn the silver bill
recently passed by Congress, and
demand in lieu thereof the free
and unlimited coinage of silver.
We demand the passage of laws
prohibiting alien ownership of land
and that Congress take prompt
action to devise some plan to obtain
all lands now owned by aliens and
foreign syndicates; and that all
lands now held by railrads he re
claimed by the Government, and
held for actual settlers only*
5. Believing in the doctrine of
| equal rights to all and special
’ privileges to none, we demand—
(a) That our national legislation
shall be so framed iu the future a.'
not to build up one industry at the
expense of another.
(b) We further demand a re
moval of the existing heavy tariff
tax from the necessites of life, that
the poor of our land must have.
(c) We further demand a just
and equitable system of gradu
ated tax on incomes.
(d) We believe that the money
of the country should he kept as
much as possible in the hands of
the people, and hence we demand
that all national and State revenues
shall lie limbed to the necessary
expenses of tiie Government, eco
nomically and honestly adminis
tered.
(i. We demand the most rigid,
honest and just State and National
Governmental control and super
vision of tlie means of public com
munication and transportation, and
if this control and supervision does
not remove the abuse now exist
ing, we demand the Government
ownership of such means of com
munication and transportation.
7. We demand that the Congress
of the United States submit an
amendment to the Constitution
providing for the election of
United States Senators by direct
vote of the people of each State.
A telegram from New York an
nounces a new deal in the lumber
business, as follows:
The yellow pine conbination has
been completed. On Monday all
the yellow pine yards in New York,
Brooklyn and Hoboken will be con
trolled by one company. At a
meeting of all the wholesale and
retail dealers held today the Yellow
Fine Lumber company was or
ganized with a capital stock of $2,-
500,000. Every firm was represen
ted at the meeting and turned in
its entire stocks of merchandise,
saw mills, barges, lighters, horses,
trucks and other equipment, at
prices appraised in each case by
disinterested parties. The new
company effected permanent or
ganization by the election of offi
cers.
This is Democracy.

1. Tlie people, the only source of
legislative power:
2. The absolute and everlasting sev
erance of church and State.
3. The freedom, sovereignty and in
dependence of the respective States.
4. Tlie Union a Confederacy, a com
pact: neither a consolidation nor a cen
tralization.
5. The constitution of the Union, a
special \v rit of granted powers, limited
and defined.
(>. Tlie civil paramount to the mili
tary power.
7. The representative to obey tlie in
struction of his constituents.
S. Elections free and suffrage uni
versal.
9. No heriditarv office, or order, or
title.
• 10. No taxation beyond the public
want.
11. No national debt, if possible.
12. No costly splendor of administra
tion.
13. No prescription of opinion or of
public discussion.
14. No unnecessary interference in
individual conduct, property, or speech.
15. No favored classes ane no monopo
lies.
Iti. No public monies expended ex
cept by warrant of special appropria
tion.
17. No mysteries of government in

Alas, too often an admoniton of a mother
to her child. The p.>or innocent has proba
bly inherited catarrh and is not responsible
for its sore anil filthy nostrils. Did you
know that tender softtbin' skin liuiutr the
nostrils, called the mucous membrane, ex
tends all over the body. Every organ in the
system and every orifice at the surface has
this thin delicate lining as a protector. So
you see what a fix the body is thrown into
when the mucous membrane bacomes irri
tated and inflamed by constantant frietio
with poisonous matter in the blood. Ca-
•arrb. leucorhear and piles result frequently
from this condition ot affairs. These dis-
eaes are mere syptoms of impoverished
blood. Now BB B or Botanic Blood Balm,
will by enriching the blood cause all such
sjuntonis to disappear Give it a trial.
nenry Reeves, Sheltman, Ga, writes:
‘‘Any man or woman who is snfferirg from
f files and will not use Botanic Blood Balm
s a fool, and it takes me to tell them so, for
I suffed two years with bleeding piles, and
bib relieved me at once”
J. J. Hardy, Hoccoa, Ga., writes: “bib

cured me. I had been troubled several
years,”

LUNG TROUBLES, RHEUMATISM, ETC
Frequently a person is supposed to have
consumption when it is some other disease
altogether that is reducing his flesh and
making him look pale and thin.
J. W. Yates, Tullabotna, Tenn., writes:
“It does me good to praise Botanic Blood
Balm. It cared me of an abscess on the
lungs and a thma that troubled me two
years and that other remedies failed to
benefit.”
do you see it is sometimes well to try con
stitutional treatment. No remedy is so
geod as B. B. B. (Botauic Blood Balm) for
rebuilding wasted tissue, and giving health
to every portion of the system reached by
that great circulating stream of life, the
human blood. Again, it is often supposed
that colds and exposure are the only causes
of sciatca, rheumatism, etc. Such is not
always the ease. It, is freqaently caused
bv impurities in the blood.
'Win. Price, Lnttsville, Mo., writes: “I
was afflicted by sciatea and had lost the use
of one arm and one leg for nine years. I
wenl to Hot Springs and also tried different
doctors, but found no cure until I tried
Botanic Blood Balm. It made tne sound
and well. I am well known in this vicinity.”
Observe, even when 'he renowned Hot
Springs failed, B. B B brought relief.
Remember, no matter what blood remedy

the only one that will give you complete
satisfaction. Sold by R. L. Bruce, Bain

covered with oak and hickory, pine and
magnolia—whose feet are bathed in beauti
ful clear streams, abounding in fish, to
broad spreading -alleys; savannas encir
cled with towering pine and broad spread

Bainbridge is 23G miles from Suvavanah.
15 miles from the Florida, and 35 from the
Alabama line; and 60 miles from the Gulf
of Mexico; during the heated term is con
stant ly fanned by seabreezes, resin ladeLea,
from contact with the intermediate pine
forests, aud uncontaminated by malarial
influences. Tho climate is mild and
equable, and as healthy as can be found
anywhere; the air, pure and dry. and meat
beneficial for pulmonary diseases of all
kinds. Her Artesian Waters are unexcelled
anywhere in the world, and the supply
abundant, and free to all who will partake.
The most obstinate cases of dyspepsia, and
indigestion, kidney and bladder affections
have been speedily cured by their use, and
a water works system is now under con
tract to put these waters into every house
in the city, tor the use of all who will abide
with us.

I. Kwilecki, Clerk of Council:—Dear Sir
-Tlus water is a very excellent artlclo, evi.
leu tly of true artesian origin, and is admir.
ably suited to drinking and other ordinary
purposes. The mineral matters dissolved are
those found usually in Artesian waters and
they impart slight alkalinity to the water,
which is desirable, medically A large
amount of Carbonic Acid Gas is held in so
lution, which gives the water a fresh, agree
solo taste. Very Truly Yours,
H. C, White, State Chemist.

Bainbridge is situated on a bluff fifty feet
above the bed of tho river, on land rolling
enough to thoroughly drain her streets of
all impurities. Her streets are bordered
from one end to the other with a growth ol
live oak, water oak, red oak and cedar une
qualled in beauty and magnificence any
where in tho world, and have given herthe
pseudonym of tho “City of Oaks.” The
city has a handsome Court House a comfort
able Hotel, six churches—three white and
three colored. (Methodist, Baptistand pres-
byterian,)unexeellcd public schools, a wel’
organized fire department, a weekly news
oaper, a first class private Bank with $60,000
capital, with business that could profitably
employ much more aud which will probably
soon be added; a Cotton Compress, with i
capacity of 30 bales an hour; a complete Edi
son System of Incandescent Electric Lights,
a perfect system of Water Works reaching all
parts of city—which is absolutely free to con
sumers—(the only free water works system
in the known world) drawing the supply
from the above described wells. The City
now has in hand $8,000.00 for the purpose
and will during the coming Winter and
Spring erect a commodious Academy and
elegautly.iit it with all needed furniture and
appliances lor modern School purposes.
