HOW CIGARS ARE MADE.
Making Up the Cheering Weed by Bans
and by Iaehine-The Grades.

Making Up the Cheering Weed by Hand
and by Iaehinc-The Grades.
The finest grade Of tobacco comes from
Havana, and is used for what is called filling.
The wrapper used mostly throughout the
Union is the Sumatra leaf, and is the hand
soonest and best in use. In the first place all
tobacco is noistened with water, and left
standing between twenty-four and forty
eight hours, according to the texture of the
tobacco. It is then stripped, that is, the stem
is taken out, and the leaf opened and spread
between two boards for the purpose of keep
ing it open, and of giving it a fiat surface
In this stage the leaf is dried and worked into
cigars as filters. The greatest precaution is
always taken that the filler be perfectly
dry, or it cannot be smoked, and, therefore,
the cigar would not fulfill its purpose in the
least.
Cigars are rolled on fat stones 10y a deft
motion quite indeScribable to those who have
not seen it, The rolling is but the work of
an instant The tobacco is laid on the stone,
the practiced fingers touch it-one minute
more and there is a cigar of perfect proper
tons, which is rapidly passed along to the
next man, who ships of the pointed end with
a small cutting machine made for the pur-
pose, after which it is passed to another man,
who ties il UP into . bundle with many others
of its kind
As rule, the inside wrapper, called tho
binder Of cigar, is composed Of either Coz
necticut or Wisconsin tobacco, which, on ac-
count Of its being very thin and fiGsy, and
having little taste, does not in the least nlar
the taste of the Havana filler. Although
there are great many cigars made without
binders, STILL as Il rule, the cigars supposed 10
he made without them are nearly all binders.
After the filler is iRclosed in the binder it is
termed in The trade 'bunch;" The outside
binder is then cut, rolled and finished, which
complete the process Of making what arc
known rs handmade CIGARS
Cigars arc also made III lnOlds in blocks Of
twenty forms, or shapes, Of cigars. These
blocks are grooyed in the exact shape of the
cigar when finished. "BHncheS' are made by
hand and placed in these grooves, after which |
a cover, fitti&9 the mold exactly, Is placed |
over it like a cover, and is heavy enough |
TO act as press upon the cigar under it.
In cheap work so punches are prepared at |
once, inferior cigars being made this. way for
the reason that they can be made so much |
cheaper and faster. These are naturally not |
as good as the handmade cigars, as machine
making somehow spoils tie flavor Of the To-
bacco. They arc more shapely than the
handmade cigars and look better, but, it is
said, 90 not taste 50 well.-Denver Tribune

was found on Investigation that the disease
was confined to the customers of a certain
milkman. An examination of the COWS
owned by this man was made, and one was
found with a very loathsome abscess of the
udder. At the time the examination WAS
made this COW was being MIXED into the

was very thoroughly conducted. no cause
could be found until the cow with the ahsoess

al Others, we would say, that by paying

or any kind of goods, for exhibition,
without competing for premiums, can do
so without becoming members.
A single admission IS 20 cents, and
teams and vehicles are free to the grounds
in all cases. This is the lowest admission

out of the affair is enough to pay pre-.

they give the public the benefit of their
many days of perplexing, hard labor.
The Superintendent Of the different
divisions are requested to report on the

to attend to their respective duties; and
the judges will be sure and report to the
secretary lin the officers headquarters on
Wednesday forenoon. the I'd day Of the

awarding of premiums, and in this way
a great deal of confusion aud loss Of time
will be a, oided; which might otherwise
occur.
In conclusion, we wish every farmer
and business man in Austin and vicinity
would bring in something to place on ex

double its original size; also our stables
have been made large enough to accom-
modate all who may come. We expect all
