whom it used to be difficult for me
to restrain from cutting before the
tobacco was thoroughly ripe. can.
not quite agree with Mr.. Brand, of
Elmira, who, you say, thinks if the
exact moment of complete ripeness
cannot be seized it is better to cut a
little too green than too ripe.
In constructing tobacco sheds, the
boards should be ploughed and
grooved perfectly tight and battened,
so that when the shed is shut it shall
be perfectly dark and no air can get
into it. used to build my sheds
with upright ventilating doors, but
now, with Mr.. Lowell Of Big Flats,
NY, as you describe his preference,
l am in favor of ventilating doors
that run transversely, or across the
sheds. If the doors are so adjusted,
and are located at the bottom of
every tier, the air has free circulation
through the sheds and upward
through the tiers, and reaches in due
course every plant. I have altered
all my ventilators so as to conform
to my later convictions in this re-
gard.
In manuring for tobacco, in my
judgment, one-half of the manure
should be applied in the fall and
ploughed down, and the other half
in the spring. l prefer and use in
combination horse and steer, or cat
tie manure.
Tobacco should be planted on as
small ridges as possible, as it thrives
best when pitched-to use the South
ern expression-close to the ground.
II the ridges be high, in dry weather,
the plants suffer more for want of
moisture than they do when set on
lower plane, the hot rays of the sun
drying the earth on all sides of the
roots.

Bud Your Oranges.

Keep an acre or two of seedlings
if you like, just to see what they will
amount to, but bud the principal
part of your orchard by all means.
We consider the argument for grow
ing budded fruit conclusive as against
the Seeding theory, and time will
surely bear it out. No one pretends
that the seeding orange is better
than the best bulded varieties, al
though the San Gabriel people insist
that their seedlings are equally good.
No wonder that they praise the
bridge that has carried them safely
over the impecuniousness which at:
ficts the majority of people; no Won
der they stick to the kind o. trees
that has brought them never less
than $40 per 1000 ever since they
came into bearing. Nevertheless,
times are changing, and we must
change with them. Because a fine,
juicy orange heretofore brought
three cents in the orchard from the
frequent visitor, and two cents in
San Francisco when there was no
competition except the inferior Island
oranges, we must not conclude that

and if your fruit is better than that
which lies in the stall alongside OF it
in New York or London we shall re-

ours is poorer, our remuneration
must be accordingly. Florida, Lou

to be very fine; when our product

the testing time will come: We are
not afraid for our future but pru-
dence dictates that we provide for it
by raising the very finest, largest
and finest grained oranges which it
is possible to produce in this favored
SPOT. There is difference, and the
only way to choose the best is to
bud from the choicest bearing trees.
We are now rapidly finding out
which are the best kinds-whether
for flavor or for keeping and very
few wears more will set our minds at
