think that the cultivation Of tobacco
in Western North Carolina is in danger
of fbecoming curse instead ola blessing.
Il seems to me that majority of the
farmers are neglecting to produce the
necessary supplies for their families and
depending upon making money out Of
tobacco to buy these supplies. Now re-
collect, my dear friends, that one
bushel Of corn at home is worth two
abroad. Recollect that meat and bread
are articles that cannot we'll be dispensed
with. You are bound to. have them
around, or the plough will stop. You
had much better fail in crop of tobacco
than to tail TO make your necessary sup
plies. In all my writing have urged
you to make all the tobacco you could
after making supply of the neeessaries
oflife. tits very shallow theory that
you can make more money by raising
tobacco than you can by raising corn.
RecolIect that the theory il followed by
every one would raise the price Of corn
beyond your reach and that you would
soon have it so that it would take huns
dred poundsDf tobacco to buy bushel
of bread stuff Now take my advice, if
you have to curtail any crop Jet it be to
bacco, and above all things have enough
provisions made at h0me for your wife
and little ones. They can't do without
them; they can do without tobacco. Let
your new land be planted n tobacco the

How to Cultivate Fruit Trees.

1. Instead of trimming up'' trees
according to the old fashion, to make
them long-legged and long-armed.
trim them down, SO as to make them
even, snug and symmetrical.
?. Instead of manuring heavily in
a small circle at the foot of the tree,
spread the manure, if needed at all,
broadcast over the whole surface,
where the ends of the roots can get it.
3. Instead of spading small Cir
Gle about the stem, cultivate the whole
surface broad cast.
4. Prefer well pulverized, clean
surface in an orchard, with moder-
ately rich soil, to heavy manuring and
a surface covered with hard crust
and weeds and grass.
5. Remember that it is better to set
out ten trees with all the necessary
care to make them live and flourish,
than to set out hundred trees and
have them all die from carelessness.
6. Remember that tobacco is poi
son, and will kill insects rapidly it
properly applied to them, and is one
Of the best drugs freeing fruit trees
from small vermin.

A Small BOYS Ingenuity.

The invention of the valve motion
to a steam engine was made by mere
boy. Newcomer engine was in a
very incomplete condition, from the
fact that there was no way to open or
close the valves except by means Of
levers operated by hand He set up a
large engine at one end of the mines.
and boy (Humphrey POTTERY was
hired to work these valve levers. AL
though this is not hard work, yet it
required his constant attention. AS
he was working the levers he saw that
parts of the engine moved in the right
direction, and at the same time he had
to open and close the valves.
He procured strong cord and
made one end fast to the proper part
of the engine and the other end to the
valve-lever, and the boy had the sat-
isfaction of seeing the engine move
with perfect regularity of motion. A
short time after the foreman came
around and saw the boy playing mar
bles at the door. Looking at the en-
CINE, he. saw the ingenuity of the boy.
and also the advantage of his inwen-
tion. The ideasuggested by the boys
inventive genius was put into practic-
al form, and made the steam engine
an automatic working machine
