Raising Tobacco in the sonth.

In many portions of the South, before
the war, very much of the tobacco used
among the farmers was grown upon
their farms and plantationH. In Missis-
sippi, Florida, Georgia, Alabama, the
Oarolinas and Louisiana, there was
considerable tobacco grown but a few
years ago. Now there is but little at
tention paid to growing this important
.ercp. The cons 4mer confines himself
to better or finer cultivated and manu-
faotured article. The old ''home twist"
is hardly to be seen, where few years
ago, little other was TO ber had. The
poorer classes, with colored population,
since the settlement among them Of the
northern element, have received very
luxurious notions in. their drinking,
smoking, and chewing habits. The finest
whisky or brandy is sought after, while
the old "white wheat" and "peach and
molasses" are fast going out of use.
Fine smoking brands of tobacco IRE now
in use, as we'll as the most popular plug
and fine outs. Those who should be
the producers are consumers of the very
article they could grow more cheaply
than others. How much like nonsense
it looks for Connecticut, Iowa, Missouri,
Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, and Tennes-
see TO raise tobacco for the south and
large export trade
The idea that cotton had ceased to be
king in the south was most absurd and
premature one. That more corn is
grown, we do not deny, but not to the
considerable extent we have been led to
believe by the reports of those who de-
sired to make it-a producing coun-
try. +
Experiments have been made in more
than thirty counties in Texas, the past
season, in growing tobacco of the vari.
GUS varieties, to test their adaptability
TO that soil and climate. The greater
part of these tests have been made in
northern and central counties of the
state, where the Missouri and Ohio
population has settled. With pro-
traoted drouth and an early frost, still
the result to the planters has been the
most satisfactory. Texas will become
one of our most excellent tobacco states.

A BEAUTIFUL WoMAN.-The percep.
tive faculty of women ia usually keener
than the same chronological organ in
men. Woman knows that beauty rather
than genius is worshiped by the sterner
sex. A man may talk with his lips of
tho latter to his iady-love, but the keen
ness of the woman knows that he is
thinking of the former in his heart. All
women have an innate desire to please
their beaux. They are fond of admira-
tion, hence one of their flongings ia to
be beautiful. The grand secret of fe
male beauty is health-the secret of
health is the power to eat. digest and
assinlilate proper quantity of whole
some food. Take Vinegar Bitters. It
will cleanse the stomach, tone the vital
organs, give perfect digestion, purify
the blood, clear up the complexion and
produce state of mental and physical
electricity which gives symmetry OF
form, bright eyes, white skin, glossy
hair and genuine type OF female love
liness which no cosmetic can COMPARE
with.

Russian Beauty.

The characteristics of the Russian
type of feminine beauty are an extreme
fairness of the complexion, grayish-
blue eyes, blonde or chestnut hair, and
a certain ena6onpoint, arising from the
lack of exercise and the life indoors,
which is compelled by winter latsing
seven or eight months. They suggest
the idea of odalisques, whom the genius
of the north keeps confined in the
tropical atmosphere of hot-house.
They have compilations of cold cream
and snow, with tints of the heart of
camellia-like those over-veiled women
of the seraglio, whose skin the sunlight
has not touched. By this extreme fair
ness their delicate features are rendered
even more delicate and the eoftened
outlines form faces of hyperborean
sweetness and polar grace. The Rus
sian women in society seem to make
less display than the men, as the uni
forms and court of the latter glitter
with gold lace and embroidery and with
jewelled decorations. Yet the simple
robes of the ladies are composed of the
costliest fabrics, fastened with the
rarest gems and their dazzling skins,
and flashing diamonds, and cleaning
pearls, and flowing draperies match in
effect the heavier gplendor of the mas
cnline attire.

AGRICULTURE.
WIN Keeping sheep Payl

," .
Awriter iii the National Live Stock
Journpl gives his idea on this subject
Sheep pay better than any other
stock, no matter what the kind OF stock
is. I have been breeding some 300
head of cattle, and am Satisfied that,
even with the most favorable condition
for selling, when the time comes, I
shall make o great deal more money,
dollar for dollar on the money invested
in sheep than I shall make on the cap.
ital invested in cattle. have about
600 sheep running without any partio-
ular attention Or care, and have sold
81, 400 worth of wool of this years clip,
md have. $50 lambs besides. do not
think it possible to have done 80 we'll
on an equal amount OF capital invested
in cattle. One great advantage sheep
have over other stock is, that they
never die of contagious diseases which
they contract They get the scab or
foot-rot or something else, and if un-
checked it gets them in bad condition,
and would ultimately, perhaps, kill
them. But the very worst contagious
diseases to which sheep are subject,
give tho owner ample time to treat the
affected animals, and the diseases are
generally of a character which yield
readily to treatment. But man may
have lot of hogs, and feed them hun
dreds of bushels of corn daily, and
about the time the bottoms of his cribs
are neared, and he is thinking of selling,
some disease breaks out among them
no one knows what it is or what to do.
for it-one animal after another follow
ing in rapid succession is effected, and
the greater portion die. have known
farmers to be well-nigh ruined by the
appearance of contagious disease of
this character. Sheep are happily ex-
empt from such rapid and fearful NOR
tality. Besides, when sheep dies
and they will die sometimes his pelt is
sufficient to pay for his keep from the
last shearing to his death. 1t makes no
difference when he dies, or what kills
him, the sheep never dies in debt.

Rotation Of n1anurcu.

All agree that rotation of crops is q
necessary condition to produotiveness.
If we plant the same land year after
year in the same crop, the result will be
almost barrenness. So it is with ma
nures. If every year we manure our
land with the same species OF manure,
it will finally lose its effect, and the
consequence will he small crops. Even
land will become tired OF farm-yard
manure and will ask for q change.
Guano, bone dust, lime and ashes hav-
ing been applied to the same land for o
number of years, the land will fail to
respond as it once did. The great agri.
cultural chemist, Liebig, explains this
popularity on the ground that unless
all the elements required by plant are
present, the extent to which the eIe-
ment existing in the smallest quantity
is present, determines the resulting fer
tility. This explanation has been gen.
orally accepted as correct.
It is true that there are but few cases
wherein any land upon southern farms
run any danger of becoming fatigued
by any kind of manure. Our lands
generally suffer more from hunger than
from repletion. But the fact is one of
interest and was brought specially to
our notice during recent visit to the
market garden of an, acquaintance who
informed us that his crops wero falling
off from overdoses of stable manure
every year for several years.

An Arkansas CORRESPONDENT of the
Scientific American says: 'I came here
30 years since, and began clearing land
and building houses with hewn logs and
boards split from the trees. After sew
eral years residence I noticed that very
often pieces of the same kind of timber
decayed more quickly than others; and
after much thought and observation I
came to the conclusion that timber
felled when the leaf first commenced
to grow rotted tho sap off very quickly,
but the heart remained sound that
timber felled after the fall of the leaf
rotted in tho heart, even when appnr-
emily sound on the outside. When fire.
wood out in tho winter was put on the
fire tho sap came ont OF the heart, but
when cut i'll the summer the sap came
out OF the sap wood, and next the bark.
[ notice also that ali our lasting wood
has but little sap at any time in the
heart-such rs cedar, mulberry, sassa-
fras, and cypress. A cypress post ont
in the summer of 1888 is still sound,
although exposed to all weathers, while
one of tho same kind of timber, cut in
the winter of 1856, and painted, has
rotted i'll the heart. saw yesterday
piece of gum plank, which I sawed in
the summer of 1856, that has lain ever
since, and is perfectly sound; while oak
timber that was felled in the winter
before is now entirely rotten. My con-
clusion then is: Gut timber after full
loaf, say in July and August, to get the
most last from it. The sap goes into
the heart OF the tree after leaf.fall, and
causes decay"
