Tha Vai of tha Nat—It* Oil abla Commodity. ■ Tha present uses of this valuable nut lire varied, but not to such an extent that Its commercial possibilities h been fully developed. The following general outline affords hut a slight in dication of Its economic value: The commercial supply abroad is fur bished. almost exclusively, by the French and Portuguese colonies on the western coast of Africa. Marseilles is the largest market in the world—han dling from fifty to sixty thousand tons hulled, each year. Norfolk, Va., is the Marseilles of America. Tills market annually receives from one million live hundred thousand (1,.100,000) to two million (2.000,000) bushels. The flavor of the foreign-growth nuts limits their use to manufacturing pur- poets—the oil entering extensively Into the manufacture of soap. The adulter ation of aalad-oils with peanut-oil is a common and profitable practice, as is. also, the adulteration of coffee and chocolate with the nut. With the production of so raluublc an oil-nut it is possible for us to discon tinue our large importation of sulad- Jill* and produce our own, with greatly reduced cost to the consumer. During the fiscal year ending June 30, I MM, we imported 005,000 gallons of olive (salad) oil, at a cost of $1.20 per gallon—making the aggregate value 9733.000. Quo bushel ot peanuts will produce, under cold pressure, one gallon of oil. Tlu- cost of producing the nuts is forty cents per bushel, including labor; add to this the cost ot having the oil ex pressed, and allowing for a lil*cral profit to the producer and retailor, we could place on our tables an oil for forty eenta less per gallon, which equals in every respect the olive-peanut oil that we now consume. It is an a!>- Kurdlty that we should waste thousands of dollars in importing an oil that Ls so largely adulterated with American products—I mean cotton-seed and pea nut oils. The cotton-secd oil outrage that the American consumer has al lowed to be imposed upon him is too familiar to all to need any rehearsing. Let It suffice to say that we export our cotton-seed oil at thirty-six cents per gallon, and then import one-third of it in the form of adulterated oils, at the average value of 91.00 per gallon. The enormity of this evil is none the less, because it Ls indulged In a smaller degree, as regards peanut-oil. Conclusive evidence is found in every line of economic investigation that we **are not fully aware of our commercial capabilities, and have only to a limited extent developed the multiplicity of re sources within our borders. Peanut-oil in the south has partly supplanted the cheaper grades of lu bricating oil, and in the north, along the Atlantic coast, it is used frequently instead of cotton-seed oil for packing aardtnes. There is no nut so universally con sumed as the peanut. In traversing the streets of our cities we have conclusive evidence furnished by the thousands of venders, who, seemingly, eke out a very comfortable existence by their sale, and also in thousands of shop windows, where they are accorded the most ad vantageous places for display. This de mand alone insures to the producer ready sales and large profits, but should other uses for the oil be discovered, which does not seem at all unlikely, the present product would be insufficient to meet the demand, and better prices would rule in consequence. Nothing is wasted in the cultivation of this crop. The nuts that have es caped the vigilance of the gatherers fat ten the swine more readily and cheaply thaw any other food; the vine, if gath ered at the proper time, makes good hay, and the nut has many valuable In view of the above facta, and in operation that few crops now being cultivated approach it in cash value per acre, it would seem that sufficient rea son exists for its extended cultivation. —E.

Too much heat reddens the leaf, first around the edge and then in spots, which are visible on both sides. Now, to pre vent sponging on the one hand and spotting on the other, is the aim of the ; experienced curcr. No definite thne can lie laid down to run from one hundred ten to one hundred and twenty de grees. Sometimes four hours will suffice, then again eight hours is fa*t enough. While it is usual at this stage to advance about five degrees every two hours for medium tobacco, the condition of the to- hacco often indicates, to the practiced eye, the necessity for slower or faster movement. But it is safe not to ad vance above one hundred and ten de grees until the tails begin to curl up at the ends. Arrived at one hundred and twenty or one hundred ami twenty-five degree*, this is the curing process. The heat should remain at or near these fig ures until the leaf is cured, which will repuire from six to eight hours, accord ing to the amoiiut of sap in the leaf to lie expelled. When the leaf appears t> he cured, advance five degrees every hour up to one hundred and seventy de grees and remain until stalk and stem are thoroughly cured.

Thousands in severs States have taken it for their guide am been enabled to learn to cure success fully, without any other assistance. Iiu the yellow tobacco industry has greatly progressed and extended during the past decade, and new light has through experience to further perfect the art of curing. The following is given as the latest improvement in curing tobacco: House the tolincco its soon as cut, and after warming up the barn for two or three hours at a temperature ot about 90 degrees, advance the heat rapidly up to 125 degrees—or as high as it will bear without scalding the tobacco—letting the heat remain at 125 degrees only a few minutes, and then, by drawing the fires and turning the danqiers, cut oil' the heat and let the temperature of the barn descend to !H» degrees. This is generally called “sapping.” The rationale of the process is this: The heat, by expansion, opens the sap and starts the water to the surface, facili tates evaporation ami hastens the yel lowing process. This “linilieriiig up” process of high heat at the start must 1h‘ of short dura- great injury will lie done the tobacco. Following this mode the yellowing process is greatly shortened, requiring from four to eight hours less to yellow sufficiently, and also hastens the second degree of curing, fixing the color. It is well to state that there is so great a difference in the diameter of to bacco grow n in different localities that rule can be given for the yellowing process applicable to all. The tobacco of middle and western North Carolina will yellow in much less time than that grown in Virginia. Then again, tobacco will bear higher temperature iu the yel lowing process during some years than others. Notably the season of 1884, is so dry, and tobacco held so little sap when ri|»e, that many commenced yellowing at 100 degrees, and had the leaf cured in fifty hours. But this i- ceptional, and for general practice would spoil both color and tobacco. The season, therefore, i borne in mind, greatly determines the amount of heat the tobacco will require to be yellowed and cured. Some of the patented flues are sr constructed that the heat is easily con trolled, and the tobacco smoked or steamed, or both, as may l*e necessary in the yellowing stage. Some tobacco will require neither to yellow right, while some other will dry up green or red without yellowing, if smoke or steam be not used to assist the yellowing pro cess. Smoke or steam will facilitate the yellowing of thin, |»oor tobacco, holding :: Kx *r.r Hamilton Railroad: No. 3 leaves Mac ing afternoon train at 1‘alatku fur St. I n (Vntral.
