Tobacco Raising.

MEsSRs EDITORS | must call your at
tention TO an important branch of indus
try which should be fostered in East Ten
nessee. 1t is that of raising tobacco. The
more / study this question, the more / am
convinced that it should be looked into
and Investigated by the farmers. If they
will do this, / am satisfied that they will
entertain favorable opinions touching the
matter.
There are few sections of the world bet
ter adapted to the growth of this staple
than East Tennessee. This opinion is
based upon the limited experiments al
ready made by competent parties. The
tobacco produced, / am sure, would COM
pare favorably with that produced in the
best tobacco districts in Virginia or Con-
necticut At the first fair held near this
city since the war there was on exhibition
a quality of leaf tobacco raised in Knox
county that could not be eXcelled. heard
several tobacconists, who were familiar
with all the highest grades raised i'm Vir-
ginia, remark that they had never seen a
better article.
1t can not he denied that our climate
and soil are admirably adapted to the
growth of tobacco. Indeed, ] am of the
opinion that there is no part of the world
more favorable in these respects. The
weed has ample time to mature without
being liable to destruction by severe frosts.
Inc season Is long enough 10 protect 1t
from this calamity. There is not ridge
in any portion of East Tennessee but what
would produce tobacco of a superior quail
ity. All our valleys would do the same.
There are plenty of cove lands lying at the
base of the Smoky, Chilhowee and Cum
berland Mountains that would enrich the
owners in a few brief years by the.culture
of tobacco. AS now managed, they do
not yield the landlord a dime There is
no reason why such lands should remain
unproductive, when they can thus be
turned to such good account.
The tobacco crop as compared with the
other crops, is vastly more profitable. The
yield is at least twenty-five per cent more,
and often one hundred. If every farmer
would set apart from one to five acres of
his land for tobacco, cultivate it we'll and
take care of the crop, they would find
tremendous difterencein the state of their
finances. They would find no difficulty
in selling the tobacco. 1t is a staple article
in all countries, and commands cash
wherever offered Connecticut tobacco is
worth sixty cents per pound. Florida to-
bacco one dollar, and Cuba one dollar and
fifty cents. This, of course, is leaf tobac-
co. Why can't East Tennessee raise an
article that can compete with any of
these?
In recent conversation with f. Espe-
randieu, of this city, he informed me that
he could supply few farmers with the
following tobacco seed: Havana, Connec-
cut, Mexican and Turkish. Try them.

Sour KrOut-HOW IL is Made.

Something like the following is the
mode of preparing cabbage for krout. Sc
lect firm heads, though some sell the finer
heads, and work up such as are loose.
Halve the heads, or if large quarter them,
and wash to remove any impurities they
may contain they are now ready to 90
into the krout cutter. This may be twelve
inches wide and five feet long, with a
groove on each side wide enough TO receive
the edge ofan inch board across the bot
tom diagonally between these groves five or
six knives are placed, so set that their
edges will project a little. These knives
are made for the purpose, of thin blades
OF steel or old saw blades, or even pieces
of scythe will answer. Into the grooves
above mentioned, set frame under, two
feet in length, like box with the top and
bottom left OUT the end pieces on the
lower sides must be cut away or set high
enough so that where the long sides OF
the box rest in the grooves these end
pieces will go clear of the knives. This OF
course is homemade contrivance but is
good enough when only few barrels OF
krout is made.
The manner OF operating this cutter is
as follows: set this open and bottomless
box in the grooves, fill II with pieces OF
cabbage prepared as previously directed
put board on small enough to go into the
box, on this board put slight weight to
press lue CdUDdSe uOWn. Two men, one
at each end of the cutter, will draw the
box or frame containing the cabbage rap.
idly back and forth, and the cabbage as il
is passed over the knives will be cut int
strips, and fall into vessel set TO receiy,
it. By this means three or four hundred
pounds can be quickly cut, when it should
he put into barrels, small quantity at
time, and thoroughly rammed or trampec
down. As the cabbage is putin the barre
about one or two pounds of salt to eacf
hundred pounds of the cabbage should be
sprinkled on. When the barrels are with
in three inches of being full, clean cab
bage leaves are laid on, and over these
cover which will go in, and the who'll
heavily weighted down with clean stones
In any quite warm place, as near an opel
fire or by stove, the krout will soon be
gin TO ferment, when water will rise to tn
top, the skum from which, during tn
process of fermentation, must be skimme,
of. When fermentation ceases, which
will be in the course Of three weeks, tn
casks must be removed 10 cold shed O
coal cellar, the colder the better, where i
will keep until spring.
Krout, which is well prepared and after
wards properly kept, makes an excellen
dish, but in whatever way ii is cooked,
should be first thoroughly boiled.

FILTERS AND FILTERING.-Wat wine,
spirits, jelly, strip, tinctures and a great
variety of other fluids, hot and cold often
contain substances which should be separ-
ated in order to render the fluid clear and
bright. AS regards water filtering, it has
become pretty general; but in domestic
life there are fluids, such as wine, liquid
jelly, sirup, ETC., which are required to be
made "cleaT" berore they are put on the
table. There are three kinds of filters
sponge for watery liquids, cotton for spirit
Gus fluids, and wool for gelatinous fluids
and oils. In every well appointed kitchen
there are tin or porcelain tunnels. For
filtering watery fluids it is only necessary
to Insert IN lhe choke of the funnel a "
shaped piece of fine sponge. All such
liquids, on being put into the funnel, will
pass through the sponge and become quite
clear. When this effect ceases the sponge
must be removed and well cleansed. Vim
| Gus fluids are best cleared by filtering
| through cone of white blotting paper,
shaped by folding a square piece of the
paper from corner to corner then folding
! the triangle into half its size, and opening
the rolls; it will fit the funnel, which will
act as support to the paper.
| Wines, ETC., poured into this, will run
| through perfectly bright. In some cases
where the wine is only little thick from
| lees, cork, or other mechanically suspend
| ed substance it can be made quite clear by
| filtering through a wad of white cotton
| put in the choke OF the funnel and this is
much quicker than paper filter. For jelly
and oil, wool alone is the proper medium
for filtering. The felted wool jelly bag Is
pretty well known rs the best means of
clearing calves'-foot jelly, and it also an
swers for olive Oil These bags are, how
ever, too expensive to be generally used
hence they are rarely seen In kitchens. A
good substitute fer the wool bag is a cOlan-
der, ON the inside of which new flannel
lining should be fitted, made Of double
stuff. A wad of white knitting wool, put
in the choke Of funnel, will do TO filter
any small portions OF such fluids. Many Q
good glass of port wine has been wasted
for the want of a penny paper filterer.-

Cow and Hog Thieves.

Some sort of protection for stock in
this parish, and particularly around
Monroe, is absolutely demanded. 1t
, is Il weli-knOwn fact that mich COWS
are frequently slaughtered in rear of
town, leaving sucking calves not two
months old in the yards of their own
ers. Those having cattle and hogs
near town all agree that it is impossi-
BILE for them TO protect their stock.
Heads, horns, hides, &C., are found in
the woods to show the cattle have been
killed, but no clue to the offender can
be found. It is one Of the main OBJ
jections to keeping milcf, COWS in
Monroe that they are likely TO be
killed by COW thieves at any time.
Fine cows, worth 800 each, have been
turned out from their calves in the
city, and have never returned. The
butchers say they cannot keep their
beeves in enclosures, because some one
is constantly turning them out. Evil
IDENTIFY there are thieves about, who
respect neither the rights of individuals
nor the condition of the stock they
kill. 1t is time this state of things
should be stopped. If the guardians
of the law cannot do it, why then let
the owners of stock do it, and in such
q manner us will at once strike terror
to the hearts of the depretlator~.
