TAKE CARE OF YOUR EYES.

In these DAYS every person is so occupied
as 10 put the eye to the severest test; and
it becomes a nice question how best to pre-
serve the sound eye, and improve the con-
dition of decaying sight. How shall we
obtain a soft, cooling eyeglass which will
relieve the overtasked eye and enhance
the power of vision? A great cause Of dis
comfort found in wearing cheap spectacies
is the heated condition of the light as it
passes through the glass to the eye, This
is all avoided by using the Paris Crystal
glasses sold by E. L. Hight. Pain in the
eyes, dizziness, &C., entirely cured by
these spectacles. may-3a.

RAISE FINE TOBACCO !

Every planter knows it does not pay to
raise common tobacco the markets Of the
world are overstocked and there is not
demand for it. 1t should be the aim OF
every farmer then to raise fine tobacco
and in order to do this successfully he
must plant his best lands, prepare and
manure we'll, and use judiciously the very
best Tobacco Fertilizers to be had. For the
past fifteen years ITO Fertilizer has beer
sold upon this market that has given sucl
fattering results and made half as mucl
fine tobacco as Ober's Special Tobacco
Compound. 1t has stood the test year il

MoST ALL SoLD.-Sdi6s of tobacco have
been light for the season, even during the
past week when the weather was so favor
able to its handling. 1t is generally con-
ceded that only small per cent Of the
crop remains unsOld. The Danville To-
bdce0 JolT1o! takes this view of it. That
paper says:
Farmers have been reporting for some
weeks that but little tobacco remained in
their neighborhood Small confidence was
placed i'll their reports, and the Warehouse
men have sent out canvaSSers to look I'D
what tooacco remained. They have found
but scattering lots, and the impression is
now quite general that tobacco in the
farmers hands will amount to small per
cent. Oh the crop. Since the new crop be-
gan To be marketed the farmers seem tC
have followed but one policy, and that
was TO sell their leaf as soon as possible
They have succeeded we'll in doing so, and
! lots that remain III the country are very
scattering.

CULTIvATING TOBACCo-An experienced
tobacco planter gives the following method
of cultivation
AS soon as the plants have taken root
and commenced to grow, begin to use a
double shoyel-plough, having the shovel
next to the tobacco, about three inches
wide and six or eight inches long. Do not
go too close to the hill, OF you may dis
place the plant follow with hoe, remov-
ing all grass and weeds, leaving the tobac-
co master of the situation. Dig gently the
surface of the hill and draw a little fine
dirt around the plant, and strive to keep
the soil around the hill as mellow as pos
sible without disturbing the plant. After
going over in this manner, plough the OPP
posite way, going twice in n row Some
prefer the cuftiYator for going over the hrst
two times, and. 1 think, perhaps it would
be preferable as it pulverizes the ground
better than the shovel-plough. After 60
ing over the field twice, in tue above man
ner, commence again with the double
shovel plough, the way the tobacco is
planted, following with the hQe, giving il
good hoeing as before. Use your judg-
ment about the amount of tillage needed
keep clear of weeds keep the ground
mellow and when the plants have spread
so that they are bruised by the hoe and
| plough stop cultivating.
