TOBACCO FACToRIEs.-Two tobacco factories
have commenced business in Milton and proba-
bly, others will follow soon. Looking at the To-
cation of Milton, says the GtrOnicle-surround-

considering the abundance and cheapness of
labor TO be had here-the surprise is to US that
there are not dozen or more factories at work
here. We have batteaus running almost to fac
tory doors, to boat the tobacco to the Richmond
and Danville railroad which costs only trifie,
thus enabling manufacturers to dispense with
the cost of keeping wagons, teams and teamstcrs.

Mr.. Kingsbury, one of the editors. fester-
dav morning Hon. J. W. Holden called upon
Mr.. Kingsbury at the editorial rooms Of the

the article. He said he did not-that Mr..
Turner was the author, and that he was
away, but would return in the afternoon.
Accordingly Mr.. Holden sought to meet the
responsible editor of the Sentinel at the n.
c. Railroad depot By the usual entrance, learn
inc that he would he in Raleigh by the 5 p.
m. train from the East. Failing in this, he
encountered him not far from the depot.
Mr. Turner drew his pistols. Mr.. Holden

Before Mr. Holden came up Mr.. Mennin-

Mr. Turner, and asked him ;;f!!iiee vas the au-

rs STABLE MANURE, best plan we
ever tried for managing stable manure,
says the Southern Cultiyator. is to have
stables on elevated ground. Excavate the
stalls few inches below surface of ground,
and allow the manure to accumulate for q
year-never handling until you are ready. to
apply it to the land. If the stalls are not
too small, land a good supply CT litter is
used), they will remain sufficiently dry for
the comfort of animais-the manure will be
kept just moist enough, and be tramped
down sufficiently to allow slo,o regular de.
composition to 90 on. Very little of the
valuable gases will escape-to insure against
this, it is only necessary to sprinkle the
stalls occasionally with plaster. as!s.

LIQUID MANURE TANKs.-We take the
following from the Western RdraI:: AS
liquid manure is exceedingly beneficial to
all vegetables, plenty oft should always be
available. and without liquid manure
tank this cannot be obtained. For large
gardens, a tank should be built exactly like
cistern; the bricks being closely cemented
at the bottom, sides and roof to prevent
the liquid from percolating through the
soil, and also to keep surface water from
entering the tank by tlledrains from the
stable, byre, kitchen. ETC., and may be taken
out by pump. In small gardens a hogs
head or large cask of any kind that will
hold water, may be sunk in the ground, and
will answer on small scale. In this, SCOT,
guano, etc., may be converted into valua-
ble manure, by dissolving them in a suita-
BILE proportion of water. Manure is much
more readily taken up by the roots of plants
when in solution than when in o solid state
In fact, solid manure has to he dissoled be-
fore it can enter the sponge-lIke mouths of
