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. Here shall the Press the Peoples’ Rights Maintain. ! TERMS: $1.00 CASH. BAINBBHIGirHEOBGiArTHURSDAY M0KX1NG, DECEMBER 1<). 1801. 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 ‘ screw or tem porary lever -ill necessary to 1 .» _ \ ft*»r the packing nas •«•*■■■ * nA the top of the box nailed on, the two ends should be secured with hoops made of white strips or hickory withes. Be particular be fore packing to weigh the empty- 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. <A II. DuPont, In Proceedings of Florida Fruit Growers Association.

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.” Stand by your town ! Not a dol lar invested there but some good comes from it. There is no family- like one’s own family, there is no wife like one’s own wife, there should be no town like one’s own town, where we live, educate our children, on whose streets our ba bies play and where we may- some time sleep. Let the newspaper stand by- the town and let the busi ness men stand by- the newspaper, and let us all make our home as famous as possible. 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. JOHNSONS CHILL AMI fever tonic, —C&&SS— We think your your medicine is _ _ _ _ the best Chill and C li I L Ii Fever medicine.

W.K.R., running from Savannah and the Eastern terminus of the Alabama Midland Rai'road—running from Montgomery Alabama—on the Eastern bank of Flint river, a beautiful bold stream navigable the year round for large steam boats, from all points, South auu West; situated in the centre of a county, with an area of nearly 2,500 square miles, made up of the greatest variety of soil, covered all over with mag nificent forests of every variety incident to climate and soil; from magnificent hills covered with oak and hickory, pine and magnolia—whose feet are bathed in beauti ful clear streams, abounding in fish, to broad spreading valleys; savannas encir cled with towering pine and broad spread ing live oak, magnolia, cedar, gum and cypress—under whoso umbrageous shade the earth lies rich in resources, carpeted with nativo grasses, where cattle, sheep and’ swine thrive through every season without shelter or feed from their owners. Balnbridge is 236 miles from Savavanah, 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 stantly fanned by seabreezes, resin ladened, from contact with the intermediate pine forests, and uueontaminated by malarial Influences. The climate is mild and equable, and as healthy as can be found anywhere; the air, pure and dry, and most 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 eases of dyspepsia, and Indigestion, kidney and bladder affections have been speedily cured by their use, and a water works sy-stem is now under con tract to put these waters into every house In the city, for the use of all who will abide with us.

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.
