that will ever fall into it. The cost
OF the cement is very small, and the
thin crust, backed by the solid sub
soil, is just as good and durable as
mason work of brick or stone. For
covering he used chestnut timber of
one foot in diameter, hewn upon one
side, upon which chestnut plank two
inches thick were laid. Two leaders
conduct the water from the caves of
the barn into the cistern. A mans
hole was left at the top large enough
for the cleaning of the cistern, and for
the insertion OF the pump. The
plank was covered with about two
feet of earth, which is a sufficient
protection against frost in this lati.
tude. The clstern will hold 5000
gallons of water, or more, and will
furnish an abundant supply of water
for stock, and tor irrigation in ordi-
nary seasons. The whole
cost for labor, timber, and
cement, was about $15. Most farm.
ers will furnish the necessary labor
and lum Der, and the only money
outlay would be for the Portland
cement: This cement will harden
under water, and become as hard as
stone. 1t is entirely practicable Tor
almost any farmer to budd cistern
of the kind described, and to have a
good supply of water for his cattle {

Havana Tobacco.
From an Exchange.

From an Exchange.
The tobacco known all over the
world as Havana tobacco is grown on
the south coast, at the extreme west
of the Islands of Cuba, on a strip of
country called the Vuelta Abajo. The
tract is about eighty miles long by
twenty wide. This Vuelta Abajo is
the choicest tobacco, and when
cigars are manufactured of it
straight" that is both filler and
wrapper, they retail from Is to 25
cents apiece, according to where you
buy 'em'" AT wholesale such cigars
sell at from $40 to $500 peril, 900.
Next in value to the tobacco of
Vuelta Abajo is that of Mayari,
which is raised in Cuba over an ex-
tent OF about fifty miles. This makes
a fair cigar, though fetching a pro-
portionately less price. Then there
are other Havana tobaccos, the Rem
edios, Partido and "Cuba." 1t is not

The same work, quoting rom I've

sown in 1421, and was at the time
(1S66) very healthy An orange
tree at the Convent Sabina at Rome
is thirty-one feet high, and Is said TO
be 600 years old. At Nice there is
tree, according to Risso, which gen.
bears 1000 to 5000 oranges, is more
than fifty feet high, and is so large in
the stem that two men can scarcely
embrace it. In Gordon, In Spain
there are trees which are considered
to be 600 to 700 years old. ]. Q.
Archer, in the Gardaer's Chronicle
Of August Is, 1870, mentions an i'm.

the Moorish palace OF Alcazna, which
was said to be 600 years old and Gov

avenue of 1896 trees, all OF them

4he case in hilly sections, it can b
removed from the soil only by becon
ing the actual food of plants. 1t doe
for natural constituent of all vege
table organizations, and traces of
have been discovered In all plant
that have been analysed.
A mixture OF lime and salt form
manure OF great efficacy and power
in fact, they gradually combine anC
form a new element-carbonate o
soda. Every farmer has it in hi
power to procure this most exceIlen
manure for the use of his farm. Ii
addition to It's tertilizing value, one
of the Distinguishing characteristics o.
the mixture Is its moisture absorbing
tendency, which to a great degree
protects land from drouth. 1t is sald
to be great preventive OF rust III
wheat and the actual experience OF
few farmers IN The South has proved
it to be the sure remedy tor that dis
ease in cotton, when it is applied to
land that contains vegetable matter.
In order TO obtain the tull effects, this
mixture should b. put on The land
one or two months before the crops
are planted, otherwise much OF its
valuable influence will be wasted.
The most valuable kind Of salt for
IA mers 10 use is that made III Spain
and along the Mediterranean shores,
and imported Into this country under
the name OF Lisbon or Cadiz salt.
The reason OF this is because it is
manufactured in q very sloVenIy man
ner; it is the most impure of all the
common salts of commerce, and con-
tains all the valuable fertilizing ele'
nents of Grade salt from the mines,
or of sta water. 1t can be obtained
in almost any OF our sea ports st a
cost of about 50 per ton. An appIi-
cation Of one sack of this salt at 80
cents, and SIX bushels Of lime at $3.50
say $2.70 per acre, will perma'
nently improve the soil aud will do
tar more Immediate good than 200
pounds of phosphate worth $3.50
These substances have been too
much neglected by our farmers, aud !
it would be greatly to their interest
ii they would examine into their mer
lis, and experiment with them. 1t
requires considerable nerve to retain
from purchasing on credit the guano
or phosphate offered by dealers in
- ,.sEhse=z Ct z Isrlpsy's
,ueiohbors are buying lt; Dut nttie
study on the subject aud practclai
experiments will convince every intel
.lipeut man, that the commercial phos'
pilates, when applied alone, as they
usually are, do have tendency 70
increase rust, aud are the most eG-
pensiye manures that can be used on
ordinary lands.
Ii any farmer who may desire TO
nlant intel!Igenlly differs from these
conclusions without having eXperl-
menled in the matter, as the writer
has done, let him divide his field into
halves next spring and on one OF
them apply phosphate at the rate OF
$3.50 Der acre. and on the olher lime
and salt at S2.7O or So, AID he Will
see for himself the superior efhcacy
OF the latter application.
