AN AeED MuLE The Spartan South
Carolinian says:
Wm. Hunt, Esq. informs US of the
death of a mule whose age, fixed beyond
all question, was 50 years. Twenty
years ago this mule was given to him
by a oonnexion, because too old for eff
cient service; but by good treatment
and care he worked it regularly and adj
vantageously until within two months
since. This is certainly a remarkable
instance of longevity in mule life, and
deserves special mention. In appreci-
alton Of faithful service, Bob was decent
ly buried by Lis owner.

Cultivation of Tobacco.

On recent trip up the Valley, we were sur
prised to observe that tobacco was cultivated
by many OF the farmers in all the counties
above Augusta. We knew beforehand that
Roanoke was fine tobacco growing region,
but were not aware that the plant had be-
come staple crop even in Rockbridge. Our
object in abiding to the matter, is to make n
suggestion to the farmers of this section.-
Wheat is the great staple, and II 1t fail, the
farmer loses nearly all he has to depend up
on for the season. The uncertainty of the
wheat crop for many years past is well
known, and many farmers of Augusta could
tell of grievous losses and disappointments
within that period. Under these circum-
stances it would certainly be a great relief to
have another chance-some other crop which
might make up, in part at least for failure
of the wheat Why then is not the cultiva-
ton of tobacco introduced, The idea that
the plant will not mature in our climate, is
entirely fallacious. The experiment has Of
ten been tried in small way, and with COM
plete success Several persons raise tobacco
every year in the neighborhood of Staunton.
If a few plants will mature, why may not one
acre or ten acres! lt is a well known fact,
moreover, that large crops of tobacco are
raised annually in Missouri and Connecti-
cut, both of which States have colder climates
than any part of Virginia.
As to the profits realized from tobacco. We
need say nothing. A gentleman III Rock
bridge informed us that he had out this year
five acres and would probably sell his crop
for five hundred dollars. This is no unusual
Weld. We learn from II farmer in Roanoke,
whose land is more rolling and rugged than
most of our farms, and for which he gave
SO per acre two years ago, that his tobacco
crop, of twelve OF fifteen acres. brought him
eleven hundred dollars. The newspapers
state that in Washington county over two
thousand acres will be planted with the weed
next year. There were three hundred acres
this year, which, it is thought, will yield
about $4,000
There is prevalent idea that tobacco ex-
hausts the soil and thus Injuries land. Pos
sibly it does so to u greater extent than many
other crops, but whats the use OF having rich
lands if they yield little or nothing IN return
for the care bestowed upon them? Why en-
rich the soil year after year for wheat, and get
poorly paid Tor the toll and trouble? IL Is
thought, however, by .iudcous farmers that
the WORKOUT fields of Eastern Virginia are
caused rather by negligent cultivation than
the exhausting character of the crops raised
on them. The Rockbrdge gentleman t"
whom we have alluded, assured Us that he
had never failed to get one or two good wheat
crops from his tobacco land.
We would not presume to advise practl-
cal farmers about matters which they under
stand much better than we, bnt We hope
that the few facts we have given them will
put them on the inquiry. All OF them nd
NIT that the cultivation of wheat Is not re-
munerative, and that soi.e other staple IL
greatly needed. -. Sta,Dton Spectator.
