How to Cultivate and Cure white
Burley" Tobacco

Burley" Tobacco.
We esteem ourselves happy in being a5le
10 present to our country friends the follow
ing information concerning the cultivation

PLANT-BEDs.
To be successful 10 raising a crop OF to-
hacco depends entirely upon the first step
taken in that direction. Secure plenty OF
plants and have them early. Select for
plapt.beds tine soil (south or southeast eX.
posure-new and slightly el yated), and
ground holding sufficient moisture as
not 10 dry out during the day; burn
your beds sufficient to Kill all the
seed OF grass or weeds; then you are
ready to dig up your bed. Dig In the
ashes well, then rake and pnlyerize every
ciod; be sure and take out all the roots,
rocks, and whatever other Instructions may
De found In the bed. Sow your seed any.
time from the LIST OF February until the last
of March. Sow bed for every acre you
intend planting is good rule to go by.
Sow about two large tablespooDfuIs TO the
hundred square feet. Then one OF the most
important parts is securing the plants, and
do not fall to do IT by brushing your beds
heavily with green brush. The seed should
be mixed with ashes or corn.meal before
sowing, so as 10 prevent getting them toe
thick.
SOIL, ETC.
The soil best adapted to the White Burey
tobacco is generally given up to be Of a lime.
stone nature. The best and finest tobacco
that comes from the cutting district is grown
90 new land, first aud second crops, and in
some cases good crop is raised the third
wear. but that Is running the ground too
bard. All our fancy cutting tobacco Is
raised on such land, and'as general thing
il IL underiaid with limestone, although we
raise really nice article on old land by
pIoughing under crop OF red clover and
usfDg plenty Of stable-manure. II you DO

HANGING AND STRIPPING.

In hanging in the barn the sticks may be
hung about eight inches apart If dry ana
well wiItcd. Never take tobacco in the barn
il wet with dew or rair, as you are likely
TO have it houSe.burned. Never use dre in
curing White Burley tobacco, as the smoke
renders il useless for cutting purposes; but
keep the barn open, 50 that the air can CIR
culate freely. When your tobacco is sum
cieplly cured to strip, you should be care
full in keeping each sort by itself. First,
keep all the chatfy tra>h-leaves together,
then your bright trash or Tugs; next comes
bright leaf, which is about the centre OF the
stalk, and sometimes all on the stalk Is
bright after the Iugs ale off. BE sure ana
keen each color and each length together by
itself.

At convention of breeders
and wool-growers, held at Philadelphia,
one of the speakers said
II would say to the farmer, go on and
manage your sheep in the way you
can get the most money for their car
cases, whether raising mutton or lambs
and let your wool take care of itself.
You must regard your sheep as ma
chimes for converting grass, roots and
grain, in the shortest possible time,
into mutton, with wool as a mere incl
dent. BY making your sheep fat in
the shortest possible time-which you
can do best with the English races
and killing them as soon as they are
mature, you make the best and sound
est wool. 1t win no. only be young,
but healthy; it viii have no tender
places in it. Aiming for the best NUT
ton, you will be certain to get the best
wool, which will always sell, no matter
what rice it belongs to. This is the
system In England, the great mutton
producing and combing- wool producing
country in the world. It is really a
matter Of surprise in reading English
agricultural Journals to see how little
consideration is apparently given to
the qualities of wool, while the size and
fattening aptitudes of the different
breeds OF varieties are the subjects of
the most weighty attention. Yet it IS

What VIII Not Science Yet Do.

With reference to the accomplish
ments and the glory of science, Edward
Atkinson says that if we can send
thought and light over wire fastened
to posts; and if we can attach TO the
same post another wire by which to
transmit electric power, so that every
farmer may keep a small thunder
storm on tap in his barn to cut bis fod-
der, milk his cows, churn his butter,
split his kindling wood, and do all the
heavy work about the house; in she :,
if we are to accomplish here what is
now being done in France, that is, OPP
crate an electrical machine by small
water-poWer on the farm, and run the
plows, harrows, harvesters and thresh-
ers by electricity; if these things begin
to be apparent that are so bewildering
that one gets considerably mixed up In
attempting to describe them, and is not
quite sure what relation his parts of
speech bear to each other, why then,
perhaps, the millennium of the econo-
mist is nearer at hand than it has been
supposed to be-"fthe time when intel
ligence and integrity and very mod
crate amount of labor will insure so
good subsistence that it will not pay
to be rich. Let fhe farmer of middle
age look back twenty, thirty or forty
years, and make comparison of them
with now, and he cannot fail to be as
tonished at the advances science has
made, and it is but reasonable to sup
pose that the same space of time in
the future will make greater advances.

in this depression of the plain or valley,
tons Of solid shot, shell and bullets
passed over our heads from our own
and the enemy's lines, standing as we
did between them.
Our regiment had done all that could
done. We had drawn the enemy
from his position on the mountain into
the plain, and we were now in the way
of our infantry, who were advancing to
grapple with the enemy, and we were
ordered by Gen. Banks to retire to the
rear and await orders, which we did
under the same terrible fire. But COM
ing from the friendly shelter of the
hollow, we were again exposed, but
moved as calmly as if upon parade our
infantry cheering as they passed us on
their way to .'see Stonewalp' IN their
front.
Upon our way to the rear we met
Gen. Pope, and Mcdowell with his
corps, hurrying to the support of Gen.
Banks, who had, with 5000 men, and
now was, contending with three corps,
numbering $4,000, the flower of Lees
army, under such generals as Thomas
(Stonewall) Jackson, Ambrose p. Hill
and Richard S. Ewell
We halted in close vicinity to the
field, many of the enemy's shot and
shell passing over us, and dismounting,
listened to the music of the battle,
which was now being waged with fear

enemy fell back across the Rapidan
River, leaving many of their dead I'M
