When the tobacco is taken down, the

leaves next to the big end of The stalk,
and then throw it to the next person, who
takes off all the best bright leaves, (and

Judgment and neatness. Logs should be

They are then passed, two bundles at
time, to the man bulking. He lays them
down, two at time, in straight row,
and presses with his hands; the broad
part of the bundles slightly projecting
over the next two. Two rows of bundles
are put in bulk, and both carried on to-
gether, the heads being the outside, and
the tails touching or barely tapping. The
bulk, when carried up to sufficient height,
ought to have few sticks laid on the top
to keep it in place. 1t must now

has musty, bad smell, it will require to
be changed into another bulk, laying it
down one bundle at time without press
ing, so that it may lie loose and open to
admit free circulation of air. This is
called wind-rowing. After it has become
thoroughly dry, and has strong smell, it
is fit to condition. that is, when the
moisture or warmth of weather makes it
plant, it is bulked in three or four, or
even six-rowed bulks and covered with
boards or sticks, and weighed down with
logs, etc., when it will keep in nice order
for packing in hogsheads at any time.
The best time to pack is during mild,
pleasant weather, in spring or in summer.

RUST IN WHEAT-DEEP PLOw-
ING.

A writer in Southern agricultural
journal, after noticing that upon garden
walks and turn burrows in the fields the
grass had the rust, and that where the
ground was mellow the growth was large
and luxuriant, expresses the belief that
the remote cause of rust could be traced
to an impoverished, shallow and imper-
fecty prepared soil. Thus, after having
the termination of the wheat in such soil,
it was unable to send its roots down
through the hard and unbroken soil, and
was therefore compelled to send out its
roots near the surface. The result of
which is, during wet seasons the soil is
pulverized so shallow that it is unable to
absorb those surplus rains, and give off
the accumulated moisture in dry weather.
A shallow soil will become deluged by
a single shower, because the hard subsoil
will not allow it to pass downward. And
again, in the drought of midsummer, q
chin stratum is made dry and parched in a
week, while one of greater depth is
scarcely affected; and lastly, the result of
these two opposite extremes upon the
roots of the wheat has the effect of deli
bilating them, and renders them less able
TO furnish the plant with that amount of
nourishment and moisture that it so much
needs during the drought, and which is so
necessary for the perfect development
and maturing of the seed, thereby pro-
ducing starvation of the plant which is
called rust.
Now, if there is any truth in the theory
of rust being an indirect result of dry
soil, the remedy against the evil is within
the reach of sll; that is undertaking,
deep plowIng and feeding heavily with
green or long manures. Would it not be
weil for farmers to give their wheat field
little attention with this suggested cause
Of rust in mind .r#H

CUTTING AND CURING TOBACCO

When the plant begins to yellow, it is
time to put it in the house. 1t is cut off
close to the ground, by turning up the
bottom leaves and striking with a tobacco
knife-such knives are often used in cut
ting down corn. The plants should lie on
the ground for short time TO fall or wilt,
and then be taken up and placed in small
heaps of eight or ten plants, to be re-
moved in cart or wagon to the tobacco
house, or to be speared in the field, and
then carried on the sticks TO the house.
Phere are various methods of securing it
in the house, says the Practical Planter
by pegging, splinting, tying with Irvine,
and spearing-the latter now being con-
sidered the best and most expeditions
method. Tobacco sticks are small, round
and straight, four and half to five and a
half feet long They may be rived out
like lath or narrow paling, one to one and
half inches square, smaller at one end
than the other. One end is sharpeaed to
admit the spear. The spear is round, or
like the Indian dart in form. 1t is
made of iron or steel, bright and sharp.
These sticks are carried to the field
and dropped one at each heap of newly
cut tobacco. The spearing is done by
jObbing one end of the stick into the soft
ground, the spear being on the other end,
and with both hands running the plant
over the spear and down the stick, thus
stringiug the eight or ten plants in the
heap on the stick. 1t is then laid in piles,
or placed at once on the wagon, to be ia
ken to the house and handed up to the
person who hangs the sticks across the
joists or beams, placing them twelve or
fifteen inches apart and smoothing the
leaves down so as not to let them scruple
in the curing, and adjusting the plants on
each stick, so that one shall not touch the
other.
As the tobacco cures, the sticks may be
pushed closer together to make room for
more tobacco, and to exclude damp air
from the cured tobacco. The tobacco
houses should have many doors and win
dows so as to admit light and dry air,
and by closing them in bad weather, to
exclude the rain and dampness, which
materially damage the tobacco, besides in
juing the color of it. But better plan
for uch as can afford it, and all who can
go ' large crops, is to have the house
perfectly tight when the doors are closed,
and TO hang the tobacco plants rather fur
thCr apart.
After tobacco has been cured and i
dry, whenever the weather is mild and it
will become soft and plant and then it
may be stripped. 1t is first taken off the
the sticks and laid in heaps, and then the
leaves are stripped from the stalks and
Sed in bundles of about one-fifth or sixth
of pound each The bundle is formed
by wrapping leaf around the upper part
Of g handful of leaves, for three or four
inches, and tucking the end into the mid
die of the bundle There should be, If
the quality of the crop permits, four sorts

BY OLIVER WENDELL HoLNKs.
Obi she was maid Of laughing eye,
And she lived In garrett cold and high;
And he was Ethreadbsrey whiskered beau,
And he lived IN q cellar damp and loH. y
But the rosy boy with 8 cherub wing
Has many a shaft in his slender string,
And the youth below and the maid above
Were touched with the flashing darts Of love.
Aud she would wake from her troubled sleep,
Ger his tender billet doux to weep;
Or stand like q statue bright and fair,
And gaze on a lock Of bright red hair.
And he who was so tall and proud,
With his stsp SO firm and his laugh so loud,
His beard grew long and his face grew thin,
And ne pinned in solitude over his sin.
But one soft night in the month Of June,
As she lay in the light Of a cloudisss moon,
A voice came floating soft and clear
To the startled maiden's listening ear.
Oh, then from her creaking couch she sprung
And her tangled tresses back she flung,
She looked from her window far below, D
And he stood beneath-her Thiskered beSu.
She did not start with & foolish frown,
But packed her trunk and scampered down,
And there was her lover, tall and true,
In his threadbAre coat Of the brightest hue
The star that rose in the evening shade
Looked sadly down on weeping maids
The sun that came in the morning pride
Shed golden light o'era laughing bride.

FARM AND GARDEN.
TO DESTROY CATERPILLARs.

An Indiana correspondent of the Gin
sinnati Gazette gives his plan of destroy
ing caterpillars on fruit or shade trees,
when they first make their appearance, as
follows: ''Take a stiff pole, wrap a
piece of factory ten or twelve wraps
around the END, so as to make swab; fill
1T with coal oil, and rub the nests off
with the swab, and that will be sufficient
1 think quart of oil will destroy 500 or
400 nests. Keepit well saturated with
oil .
