~ VI '"S pion'i"cht FEATURES OF the strip
ping process. AL solid leaves should be
Kept separate as wrappers, and these sorted
into hands of ten or twelve leaves, each
hand tied at the butt BY a single leaf. All
leaves IN the same hand should be of uni
form length. The hands should then be
assorted with reference to length into two
or three sizes. All defective leaves should
be treated alike and put Up separately, the
respective qualities being bulked separately
ready for market.
The packing or casing is generally done
by parties buying it from the grower.
GENERAL REMARKS.
/ would further add that SO muth depends
upon little details in the management of
tobacco crop, to bring about the best and
highest results, that the details cannot be
Presented intel'gibly on paper or even be
conveyed verbally. A personal observa-
ton during the season with a practical
grower is so highly advantageous that re-
gard them as almost Indispensable to sue
cess. All professions and trades require a
course of reading and an apprenticeship
Why should We not devote a season 20 the
acquisition of the information SO highly
essential TO success, and which relieves us
of much loss of time and expense in exper-
imentingf
The large quantity of inferior tobacco
constantly upon the market Is the best eyi-
dence of the importance of this feature in
the business.
The management OF the cake walk that
was held in Patterson last Saturday evening
sent a man around, clothed In brown suiting,
which tit clese to his legs, arms, and body
like the dress of a circus performer. 4
covering or mask for the face and whole head
his features from all recognition.
Sits or holes in the close fitting garment
tor the head, revealed the eyes. The
mouth of the young man was also revealed
by capacious opening in the mask. A
I
hung and danglcd from exactly the spot on
the face where the natural nose ought to be.
The ears Of the youth, were as large as a
good sized tobacco leaf and topped up and
down as if making an effort TO keep time TO |
the steps of the horse on which he rode. |
A good stout well polished boot revealed |
itself in the stirrup, which if 1t had been
,loven foot would have been interpreted as
meaning that they were gong to have a
ievil of time at the cake walk. He rang
, bell as he passed through the streets, at
lracting general attention. 1t is said that
he cake walk was a success.
The rise in the price of nails is illustrated |
oy the following, a Rochester, N. Y, hard |
ware merchant being the hero: When nails |
we're $l.1o keg he bought 1000 kegs and |
waited for the rise, promising several pretty |
cousins that he would gite them each silk
irsss when the price reached $500 a keg. |
The pretty girls watched the nail market |
reports, aud when the time came struck |
aim tor their silk dresses. He said, " If |
you will wait till nails are $500 keg | will |
give you each q sesl-skin sack" The ladies |
little dreaming that the mer-
:hant was trying to get out of 1t, and that |
he believed nails never would go up TO S. |
/ keg. When nails reached s. keg, and
he girls told him they were ready for seal
skin sacks, he put them off once more, say
ng he would give each one . set Of dia-
nonds when nails were S. keg. A few |
laws ago he had TO surrender, and thought |
/ wouldn't be safe to put them OF any |
onger, 50 be bought the diamonds.
