Tobacco.

Tobacco is now grown in eighty
seven Of the ninety-six counties of
North Carolina, but it is a staple
in perhaps not more than a dozen
of these. Rockingham, Person,
Caswell and Granville counties con-
stitute the flower Of the tobacco
belt, each raising in 1879 about A.
100000 pounds, and this year the
crop in each one of these is estima-
ted at 100000 to 5,25O,OOO. The
whole acreage of the State in 1882
was 64,4S2, and it is estimated that
at least 10000 acres are in cultiva-
ton this year. The whole tobacco
crop in 1882 amounted to 80, ,275.702
pounds. All the leading authorities
now agree that the crop Of 1884 will
approximate So, ,OOO, 900 pounds. But
the best feature in the raising OF
tobacco there is, that North Caro-
lima leads the tobacco States in the
average prices obtained for the leaf.
As shown by the censes the average
price paid for North Carolina to-
bacco is $14.1O per hundred pounds.
Deducting 1898, the actual cost of
production there, a net profit of
$4.77 is left to the producer. The
White Burley district in Ohio yields
an average profit Of only $4.3O,
while Pennsylvania gives $4.13,
Connecticut $3.50. Wisconsin 1888,
New York $3.12, and so on down
the list. This annual profit to the
North Carolina farmer Of more
than 81 per cent. would indicate
that the growing of tobacco is the
most profitable agricultural work
done on large scale in America.

FIELD AND FARM.
Beautifying Farms.

Great progress has been made by
farmers within the last year not
only in making their farms more
productive. but in making them
more attractive. This in IL large
measure is the result of prosperous
farming. Those who had debts to
pay, did not feel able to spend
much in ornamenting their places:
but since they have freed them
selves from this burden. they haJ
been more disposed to1attend to tn!
appearance of things.
There has been also an advance
in taste. There are not so many
now, as formerly, who decry all at
tentiOn to the ornamental as waste
of time and money. This race of
nggardly and boorish men is fast
dying out. Increasing intelligence,
the circulation of agricultural read
ing, the formation of agricultural
societies, the infusion of larger
element of educated and cultivated
men into the profession, have had
powerful influence in securing more
attention to the aesthetics of farm
ing, instead of having everything
expended for more pecuniarv re-
turns. And this is ii great advance.

Every man, too, owes it to the
community in which he is living,
to general reputation and to pub
lie enjoyment, by making all his
surroundings as attractive as possi-
bic. There is such a thing as pay
ing too much attention to the out
side and to show; but there is rea-

should be devoted by every one to
make his farm and his home more

Meddlesome People.

All communities are more or less
infested with a class of individuals
who, forgetful Of their own interests,
are all the while intermeddling in
the affairs Of their neighbors, sug-
gesting, prescribing, complaining,
fretting and abusing because certain
things do not joint up just in con-
formance to their own wishes and
interests. Such individuals are al
ways repulsive in the eyes Of decent
society and should be Stunned by all
good people. Small villages are
mostly infested with this class; yet
the smallpox would be far prefer
able. It is principle greatly to be
abhorred, and one Of the most difficult
to surpass, being the result Of ex-
treme ignorance and low raising.
Beware of the meddler. -Coryespond-
