LAND PLASTER ON TOBACCO.
The Experience Of a Henderson County
Planter.
From the Henderson, KY, Reporter.

From the Henderson, KY, Reporter
The season gone by, just after secur-
ing a stand of tobacco, we had cast on
the bud of each plant about a desert
spoonful of plaster. Immediately
after the first shower it assumed rich
growing color, which it held until
maturity, notwithstanding a prolonged
drought ensued. Before topping,
however, we had as much more ap-
piled to each plant-in all about one
hundred pounds per acre.
The land upon which this expert
meut was made was high, dry, and ex
hausted years ago. The crop made
was medium in size and uniformly of
excellent quality. We also used it in
the same way on a piece of land that
was low and wet, where many plants
had already 'frenched." The result
was, that a new and healthy growth
commenced above the narrow leaves,
making quite respectable tobacco.
Hence, we infer that it can be used to
advantage on low, cold ground as well
as the high. Perhaps the better way
to use it would be to mix one part
plaster with two parts wood ashes and
sow broadcast, which would beneftthe
succeeding wheat crop by making it
uniform in growth. The general i'm
preston with those who have used it
extensively is. that one hundred
pounds per acre would result in as
much good as four or five times as
much would
Plaster is found in but few localities
in the United States in any consider
able deposits. 1t resembles a soft rock.
is ground to an impalpable powder,
in which we get it pure, from the fact
that it would not pay to adulterate
it.
1t may not be necessary to give now
the analysis; yet chemistry, science
nor practice has given satisfactory
reasons why, or how, this whimsical
substance has such a wonderful in
fuence nmany crops-especially those
of clover and tobacco, doubling when
applied to clover, greatly improving
the quality, and adding very material
ly TO weight of tobacco, besides hasten
ing its maturity.
Those who contemplate using it
should bear in mind that it is a capri
ciOus and very contradictory article,
which may disappoint or very greatly
benefit them. Yet we hardly consider
it venture to urge farmers, gardeners,
and even florists, to give it a fair trial
believing, as we do, that on many soils
and plants it will more than quadruple
the small cost of seventy-five cents
(including latter per acre in good re-
suits. Respectfully.

A young wife stood with her head on the

And looking around the room;
Nothing but toll forever shesaid,
From early morn till the light has fed,

brow"
Pegging away, spoke shoemaker John
We ne Ter see well what we're standing

A lady stood by her husbands chair,
And quietly passed her hand over his
hair
"You never have time for me now," she
said,
And teardrop fell on the low bent head
:. II We were only rich, my dear,
With nothing to do from year TO year,
But amuse each other-oh, dear me
What a happywoman 1 should be-"
Looking up from his ledger. spoke mer-
chant John,

A stately form in velvet dressed
A diamond cleaning on her breast,

THE VALUE OF SUNFLOwERs.-In
the first place, the flowers abound in
honey. and furnish food for bees. The
seeds contain oleaginous matter and
WELD oil at the rate of one gallon to
the bushel, which is but little inferior
to olive oil. One acre will produce
fifty bushels of seed. 1t It's also valua :
bic food for horses and poultry. 1t
has been used for bread by the Amer
lean Indians and also in Portugal
The leaves are excellent for cattle
The stalks while they are growing may
be utilized as bean poles where they
are scarce and difficult to be obtained,
and dry may be used as roofing, or set
up against the fence to form a wind
brake. They contain a large amount
of potash, and are excellent for kind
ling. The seed has also been recon-
mended for fuel. The reputation of
the growing sun-hower to absorb mi
asmatlc vapors and preventing fevor
and ague is well knOwn.-Americdn
