CULTIVATION.
As soon as the plants have be
come well set and begin to grow,
the soil around the roots should be
lightly stirred with a hoe, and
grass and sprouts chopped up.
When the plant is about knee
high, run two furrows with a jump
ing scooter in the alleys the narrow
ways and then with the hoe draw
up a good flat hill to the beds. In
the course of ten or twelve days
run two or three furrows with a
small plough in the alleys the wide
way, taking especial care to avoid
braking or bruising. This is all
the cultivation that is needed, oth
er than keeping down the grass
and sprouts to make the heavy
character of tobacco now in de
mand. If a lighter quality is de
sired, cultivation with the plough
may be entirely dispensed with.
WORMING, TOPPING AND SUCCOR
ING.
After the plants are set out the
field should be examined every
morning to see if the cut worms
have committed any inroads. If
a plant is cut down, its place should
be immediately supplied by an
other, and thus preserve a full
stand and unformity of size. As
soon as the plants begin the grow
a close examination every day or
two for the bud worm. These will
be found in the bud of the plant,
frequently not more than half an
inch in length, and as fine as a
cambric needle,and if not prompt
ly removed will work irreparable
injury to the crop. At a more ad
vanced stage the “horned worm”
will put in its appearance, but be
ing much larger than the former,
easily discovered and destroyed.
By carefully crushing the eggs
which produce this worm, the la
bor of worming is greatly lessened.
These eggs will be found on the
leaf, ancUare deposited by a moth
almost identical in appearance
with cotton caterpillar moth. To
destroy the moths, resort is fre
quently had to poison, and the ap
plication is thus made. Late in
the afternoon, or about sunset, the
fresh blooms of the Jamestown
weed are gathered and set upon
little stands erected in different
parts of the jield. In each bloom
is deposited a drop or two of dis
solved cobalt. The moth being
very fond of this flower will resort
to it for its evening’s meal and one
ip at this treacherous fountain
gives her her quietus. Unless
they are unusually numerous, as
they sometimes are, two wormings
i week will preserve the crop from
iny material injury. Ail the chil
dren of the family, over six years
of age, may participate in this por
tion of the labor.
Ordinarily, when the plant is
about hip high, tha bud forms a
button, which ultimately develops
into the seed-stem. If a thick,
heavy leaf is desired, this button
pinched out when there are ten
or twelve well developed leaves;
if a lighter article is desired, the
plant is permitted to run up until
it begins to throw out seed
branches, when it is broken off,
leaving from fifteen to t\\ enty
leaves to mature. Shortly after
the topping has been affected, the
plant will begin to throw out suc
cors from the roots one for every
leaf. These must be promptly
rubbed or broken off, in order to
concentrate the entire substance
of the stalk in the leaf; otherwise
they will detract greatly from the
quality and yield of the crop.
HOUSING AND PREPARING KOR
market.
To be prepared to save the crop
in good order ample house room is
essential. There ought to be a
large open shed and an enclosed
barn located near each other—the
former to accommodate the hand
ling of the crop in its green state,
and the later as it approximate, the
cured state. Both should bo ar
ranged with joists of smooth poles
reaching across the building and
placed at sufficient distance apart,
both horizontally and perpendicu
larly, to accommodate the length
of the sticks used for hanging, and
the length of the leaves, so that the
tails of upper tier may not overlay
the one below it.
There should also be an ample
supplv of sticks previously pre
pared, to be used in handing the
leaves. These sticks are split out ^ ^
of pine, are four and a half feet m nds A .-mall
length and about five-eighths of an ‘ le ver wi
inch square, being smoothed with , ‘ ilitate the packing. After
a drawing knife, and a little taper-T haS been completed
ing at the end.
The repening of the tobacco may
be known by a peculiar transpa
rency of the leaf and its brittleness
when doubled together.

NO. 11.
The plant begins to ripen from
the bottom, and as the leaves suc
cessively exhibit the foregoing in
dications, they are broken off and
laid in little piles to be ultimately
handled to the shed. In taking the
leaf from the stalk, the operation
while the night dew is on, nor im
mediately after a shower of rain.
It is essential to the quality of the
article that the natural gum of the
leaf should be retained, which will
not be the case unless the forego
ing precautions be strictly ob
served. It is also essential that
the leaf as it is taken from the
stalk should be protracted from the
rays of the sun, as in its green state
it is easily sun burnt and becomes
valueless. In hauling it to the
shed, the load should be protected
by a piece of cotton bagging or
some similar material.
After arriving at the shed, the
first operation is to split the large
central stem of the leaf, making a
split about four inches in length,
beginning about one inch from the
butt. While a part of the hands
are engaged in this operation,
others are employed in inserting
these sticks, which is called string
ing. A stick will hold, in its green
state, from twelve to twenty, de
pendent on the size, and they must
be so adjusted as not to crowd
each other. When a stick is filed
it is immediately lifted to one of
tiers of poles and then allowed to
hang. As the leaves shrink, the
tobacco on two or three sticks is
crowded on one, and that is lifted
to a higher tier, until all the highor
tiers are occupied. When it is
better than half cured it may be
removed to the close barn and
hung up. as before, care being
taken not to crowd it too closely-
At this stage, should a damp spoil
of weather occur, causing a ten
dency to mould, a charcoal fire
built in a pot or other iron vessel,
or a small stove kept at a moder
ate heat sufficient to dry the at
mosphere, will be found of great
benefit.
When the large stem of the leaf
is thoroughly- cured, advantage
should be taken of the first damp
sx>ell, when it is in proper cure for
handling without breaking it, to
take down a portion and bulk it
down on the sticks, and have the
bulk covered with a sheet or hay
so as to exclude the air and prevent
drying out. The leaves are now
assorted into three qualities: the
first is composed of the longest of
those which are of approved color
and free from holes, some approxi
mation in regard to uniformity of
length being observed. The color
now most in repute is a rick dark
brown. In making up the second
quality, quality, uniformity in color
should stall be observed, but it is
not so important in regard to length
of leaf, or freeness from holes, as
in the finest, however, no ragged
leaves should go into this quality.
The third quality is composed of
the refuse of the crop, and each
quality must be kept separate, both
in handling and packing.
As the leaves are assorted they
are immediately into bands con
taining about twenty leaves each,
and for the band a leaf of the like
quality- is to be used. The neater
the handling is accomplish, the
better the crop will show in samp
ling. As each band is completed
it is laid in bulk. The bulk is form
ed by laying the bands in opposite
directions, the tails, lapping oyer
each other and the buts showing
on each side. These bulks may be
built in a straight line of any length
and about three feet in hight. The
purpose of bulking is to carry the
tobacco through a sweat, which
benefits the color or texture of the
leaf, and is absolutely indispensa
ble to the perfect evolvement of
that rich aroma so highly prized in
a good cigar. The bulk after be
ing built up to the required height
should be well covered with sheets,
and be lightly weighted, which will
expedite the process of sweating.
When the sweating process has
been accomplished and the bulk
has become cool, the tobacco should
immediately be transferred to
boxes made of light pine boards,
boards, three-forths inch in thick
ness that have been well seasoned.
In packing, lay the hands in the
1h>x with the tails overlapping a»
directing for bulking. The boxes
should be of the following
dimensions: Thirty-eight inches
long thirty inches wide, and thirty
inches deep. A box of this dimen
sion should hold from three hun
dred and fifty to four hundred

two ends should be secured with

boxes and hoops, and note the
weight in pencil on each box, so
that it may deducted when the
crop is sold. My task would be
incomplete were I to omit to note
the
AVERAGE PRODUCT AND PRICE.
On average lands eight hundred
pounds per acre is consided an
average crop on lands of superior
quality, from ten to fifteen hundred
(with exceptional cases of eighteen
hundred) may be realized. For a
series of years the average price of
the crop may be put at from
twenty-five to thirty- cents per
pound. I have known it sold as
higli as eighty- and as low as twelve
and a half cents. The smoke
quantities made in Gadsen county-
in the years 1872 and 1873 brought
from thirty-eight to forth cents.

The Kansas Mule.
Out in Kansas.” he said, “there
was a boy- who had taught mule to
squat when he touched him on the
flank with his heels, and one day
when he was riding besides an En
glishman the mule suddenly- sat
down upon his haunches. “Wliat
the matter with your mule?”asked
the Englishman. “Why said the
boy, he’s a setter; don’t you see
that rabbit out there?’ The En
glishman was astonished. They
rode on a while and the mule
squated again. “What is he doing
now .’’said the Englishman. ‘He’s
settin’ again,’ said the boy. ‘Don’t
you see that flock of quails? By
this time the Englishman was dy
ing to own the mule. An animal
that he could ride, that was also a
setter, would be priceless to such
a Nimrod as he. He offered to buy
the mule, but the boy did not want
to sell him. Finally he consented
to swap the mule for the English
man’s fine bay horse and $100 to
boot. The Englishman mounted
the mule, they- rode off together.
After a while they came to a creek
and the Englishman drew up his
feet to keep them from getting wet.
About half way through, the water
got so deep that he had to draw his
feet under the mules flank. As
soon as the boot heels touched the
mules flank, he squatted right in
the middle of the creek.
“What’s the matter with your
blarsted mule now?” ‘I told you
that he was a setter, and he’s just
as good for suckers as anything
else.”

The Ocala Paltorm .
In response to numerous re
quest we publish below the various
demands set forth in the celebra
ted Oeala 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 will
effectually prevent the dealing in
futures of all agricultural and
mechanical productions; providing
a stringent sy-stem 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
lauds now held by r»ilrads be 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 in the future as
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 be kept as
much as possible in the hands of
the people, and hence we demand
that all national and State revenues
shall be limited to the necessary-
expenses of tne Government, eco
nomically and honestly adminis
tered.
G. We demand the most rigid,
honest and just State and National
Governmental control and super
vision of the 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 Statqs Senators by- direct
vote of the people of each State.
A Deadly Serpent.
Sometime ago a party- of sailors
visited the zoological gardens in
Philadelphia. One of them, ex
cited by the liquor he had taken,
and as an act of bravado to his
companions, took hold of a deadly
serpent. He had it up having
seized it by the nape of the neck
in such a way that it could not
sting him. As he held it, the snake
unobserved by- him, coiled itself
around his arm, and at length it
got a firm grasp and wound tighter
and tighter, so that he was unable
to detach it. As the presure of the
snake increased the danger grew,
and at length the sailor was unable
to maintain his hold on the neck of
the venomous serpent and was
compelled to loose it. What did
the snake do?*. It turned right
around and stung him, and lie died.
SO it is with the appetite for strong
drink. We control it at first, but
in a little while it controls us. We
can hold its influence in a grasp for
awhile, so that it will be powerless,
but afterward “it biteth like a ser
pent and stingeth like an adder.”
Tlic l.iiw About Tobacco.
We give below the section of the
last act of Congress relating to the
sale of leaf tobacco, with the con
struction put thereon by the Com
missioner of Internal Revenue, in
order that in this regard there may
be no miapprehension:
“That all provisions of the statues
imposing restrictions of > any kind
whatsoever upon farmers and
growers of tobacco in regard to the
sale of leaf tobacco, and the keep
ing of books, and the registration
and the report of their sales of leaf
tobacco, or imposing any tax on
account of such sales, are hereby-
repealed ; Provided, however, That
it shall be the duty of every farm
er or planter producing or selling
leaf tobacco, on demand of any- in.
ternal revenue officer, or other
authorized agent of the Treasury-
Department, to furnish said officer
or agent a true and complete stater
ment, verified by oath, of all his
sales of leaf tobacco, the number
of bogheads, cases or pounds, with
the name and residence in each in
stance, of the person to whom sold,
and the place to which it is ship
ped. And every farmer or planter
who wilfully refuses to furnish in
formation, or knowing makes false
statements as to any of the facts
aforesaid, shall be guilty- of a mis
demeanor, and shall be liable to a
penalty not exceeding five hun
dred dollars.”
“Farmers and planters are not
required to pay an internal revenue
tax for selling leaf tobacco of their
own growth and raising, or leaf
tobacco received by them from ten
ants who have produced the same
on tlieir lands. The previous limi
tation of an amount nqt exceeding
one hundred dollars annually is re
pealed by the law above quoted.
“The executor or administrator
of a farmer or planter, and the
guardian of any- minor is exempt
from registering as a dealer in leaf
tobacco produced by such farmer
or planter or by said executor, ad-*
ministrator or guardian as such, or
received by- either of them as rents
from tenants, who produced the
same on the land of said farmer,
planter or minor.
“A farmer is not required to pack
or prize his tobacco before offering
it for .-ale, in bogheads or other*
wise, but he may sell it loose as he
has heretofore been in the habit of.
selling, keeping such an account as
will enable him to render a true
statement of amount sold when
called for.”
A number of learned scientific
gentlemen have been giving their
opinion on the question, “What i-
life? So far as appears to the com
mon mind life is a scramble for
more money.

altogether that is reducing his flesh and
making him look pale and thin.
J. W. Yates, Tullahoma, Tenn., writes:
“It does me good to praise Botanic Blood
Balm. It eared mo of an abscess on the
lungs and a thma that troubled me two
years and that other remedies failed to
benefit.”
So you see it is sometimes well to try con
stitutional treatment. No remedy is so
geod as B. B. B. (Botanic Blood Balm) for
rebuilding wasted tissue, and giving health
to every port.on 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 frequently caused
by impurities In the blood.
'Wm. Price, LnttsvlUe, Mo., writes: “I
was afflicted by sciatca and had lost the use
of one arm and one leg for nine years. X
went to Hot Springs and also tried different
doctors, but found no cure until I tried
Botanic Blood ffalm- it made me sound
and tyell. lam well known in this vicinity.”
Observe, even when the renowned Hot
Springs failed, B. B B brought relief.
Remember, no matter what blood remedy
you have tried, or intend to try, B. E, B. is
the only one that wi(l give you'complete
satisfaction. Sold by R. L. Bruce, Bain-
bridge, Georgia.

—This water is a very excellent artlclo, evi.
lently 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
able taste. Very Truly Yours,
H. C, White, State Chemist,

Baiubridge is situated on a bluff fifty feet
above the bed of the 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 of
live oak, water oak, red oak and cedar une
qualled in beauty and magnificence any
where in the world, and have given herthe
pseudonym of the “City of Oaks.” The
city has a handsome Court Housea comfort
