Cutting Tobacco.

You can tell by the appearance of
the leaves when to cut. If your field
generally shows leaves turning yellow,
with reddish and brown spots, and the
leaves break readily when bent, you
can prepare for cutting. To cut on a
damp and cloudy day makes it easy to
handle plants. but if your tobacco is
ripe and needs cutting do it on a warm.
sunny day, too. but don't leave your
plants to wilt In the field. There are
different methods of cutting, some slit
ting the plant from the top to within a
few inches of where it is to be cut off
from the butt, others hack it off
with Ratchet or any instrument they
can find with the dullest edge possible,
others use small strong meat saws, and
others tobacco knives made specially
for the purpose. 1t is regarded as the
best to saw off or cut off with the
tobacco knives without Sitting down
the stalk. Take hold of the plant near
the top, bend back gently, and sever
the stalk near the ground, then lift the
plant gently, and leave down across
the stump, being careful that the
leaves are not doubled up, and none
of them become torn. Careless
cutting will spoil much of the pre-
vious labor, and in the case OF
cigar leaf spoil the most valuable
wrapper leaves. Some of the most
intelligent planters cut two rows at a
time-that is, alternate from row to
row. After the cutter man follows
with the laths or poles on which to
hang tobacco. Some spear the plants
that is, they have aspear-head sock
eted to fit on the ends of the laths,
driving the spear through the stalk
near the end, putting about eight plants
on a lath four feet six inches wide.
Some few others, as in the New England
States, tie the plants to the pole with
a string, while others drive nails al
measured distances on the laths and
hang the stalks on the nails, alternat-
ing the stalks on the two sides of the
lath, and this would seem the most
effective and most economical
way. When the plant is once hung
there is no danger of its moving, and
the nail puncture will not do damage
by drying the sap of the stalk too sud.
denly, as may the slit from the spear
head. Most planters nowadays take
the tobacco to the barns Immediately
after cutting, instead of scaffolding in
the field temporarily, and many have
wagons made specially to hold the
laths SO as not to inflict any damage tc
the leaves of the plant while being
transferred to the barn. II possible
cut a whole field in the one day. or the
succeeding day at the farthest, SO as
to have all advanced to the same de
gree in curing. Farmers Home Jour

Hay and Ensilage.

Hay is the dry-cured grass-ensilags
canned grass, or other plants. Ems
lage is to the dry-cured hay as canned
fruits or vegetables are to the dried u
evaporated. Ensilage is probably s.
much more palatable to cattle, con-
pared with the dried grass, as the lae
cious canned fruit is more grateful b
our own tastes than the sun-dried art
Gle. While it is not probable or dssls
able that we dispense altogether With
dry-ctlred hay, it is very probable tha
ensnage will be largely used in theit
ure. The process OF preserving gran
forage in pits or air-tight compartmsak
is so simple, so certain and SO indepsu&
emit of the weather conditions thatiswlll
finally commend itself to all progress
i've, wide-awake farmers. AS . rlls
the very plants that are most diihedi
to convert into sweet, sound hay BY w

best adapted for ensilage. Corn plaiis
which can hardly be converted into q
even Indifferent hay, are of all plaaa
the best for silo purposes. Pea7vine'I

ABOUT UMBRELLAS

semi-Civilized Countries Where They Are
Considered Marks of Honor.
1t certainly is strange that in almost
all nations and in all ages there should
have been this same singular jealous
regal monopoly of so useful an object
as a portable sunshade, which was also
available as protection against rain.
But SO it has ever been, even in the
highest civilizations of early ages. We
find it depicted on some of the most,
ancient sculptures of Persepolis, and
also on those of Babylon and Nineveh,
but always as distinctive mark of
honor for the great men and rulers.
The Assyrian bas-reliefs show slaves
holding richly-ornamented umbrella
above the head of the monarch, not
only in scenes of peace, but even in
time of war. 1t appears to be fringed
with tassels, and is provided on one
side with an embroidered curtain. In
these sculptures this mark of distinction
is reserved exclusively for the monarch,
and it never overshadows any other
person, however eminent. The same
thing is observed in the sculptures Of
Babylon and Nineveh; In which the
King alone Is thus distinguished. OF
the ancient Mexican Emperors 1t is
likewise recorded that not only were
they borne by relays of great mobiles.
but also that four more mobiles of high
estate were appointed to uphold the
sacred umbrella which added dignity
to the imperial procession. Even in
the beginning of the present century
the Mohammedan rulers of Hindostan
claimed a monopoly of the use of the
sunshade. and no one was permitted to
carry an umbrella in the imperial
presence. Thus 1t Is recorded that
certain English merchants having been
admitted to an audience with the King
of Delhi, the ladies who were of the
company were ordered to dispense
with their parasols, as being an in
fringenent Of the great Mogul's prero-
gative. So they had to protect their
heads as best they might from the suns
burning rays by heaping on heavy
folds of drapery. The magnificence OF
the Indian state umbrellas was amaz-
ing. Some were of crimson velvet,
richly embroidered in gold, and the
heavy golden handles, which were
eight feet high, were incrusted with
diamonds. That of the Queen of Luck.
now, which is now treasured in the
South Kensington Museum, is Of blue
satin, embroidered with gold and seed
pearls. Some were of cloth OF gold,
others only of gilt paper. Some were
even covered with gay feathers, but all
had Tor haye) long handles, either Of
beautifully inlaid wood or precious
metals, or even of carved ivory. The
state umbrella OF Indore is shaped like
q mushroom. English Illustrated Nag
