Ripened Tobacco.

As tobacco ripens it assumes spot
ted appearance, the leaves feel sticky,
and they will break off short when
bent, and this appearance and this con.
dition are an indication that the crop
is done close to the ground, and the
leaves are then allowed to wilt. Then
they are taken to the dry-house. The
leaves should not be bruised or broken
in handling, and they must therefore
be handled with care. Sometimes the.
stem is split from the top down to
within sixteen inches Of the ground,
before cutting. Those who follow this
practice say that the tobacco cures bet
ter. When this is the practice the
tobacco is hung astride the stocks.
When the plants are not split they are
sometimes !railed and sometimes tied
to the stocks. The leaves are stripped
from the stems as soon as the curing is
complete, and assorted into grades.
To grow tobacco on large scale re.
quires more knowledge than we can
give, and more than can be got from
any work on the subject that Is pub
lished. There are many things which
can only be learned from experience. =

STRIKING CONTRAST.
An Ex-Brakeman Tells How Railroad
Presidents Travelled Years Ago.

An Ex-Brakeman Tells How Railroad
Presidents Travelled Years Ago.
There is striking contrast in the
mode in which railroad officials travel
nowadays from the modest way in
which their predecessors went over
their lines thirty or forty years ago.
Now the president and many of the
other officials of every railroad in the
country have their private palace cars,
and they never go out, even for short
trips, without them. Thirty years ago
I was employed as brakeman on a
passenger train On the Pennsylvania
railroad. As the train was filling up
at the Philadelphia depot one morning,
I was directing the passengers to their
respective coaches, when tall man,
wearing white hat, whom I did not
know, stepped up to the train to 20
aboard. l directed him to the car and
he quietly took his seat There was
one coach a little more finely finished
than the others that was used
as the ladies' car, but did not put the
tall man in it. A few minutes later
the conductor came along and brusque-
ly inquired of me: where's Thomp-
SOM" "Thompson!" said /, "what
Thompson?" "Why, Edgar Thomp-
son, president of the road" replied the
conductor. II don't know" said, II
have not seen him." "Wasn't there
tall man with white hat here min
ute ago?" queried the conductor. Eyes,
he is in this car" said !. "Why didn't
you put him in the ladies' carp" the
conductor asked. because he had no
ladies with him." answered. The
conductor went into the car, bowed
politely to Mr.. Thompson. and made
an apology for not seating him in the
ladies' car. ''No apology is necessary,
Mr. Conductor" replied the president,
II made the rules myself, and l expect
you to follow them" And Mr.. Thomp.
son remained in the car during his
journey.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

RAT-PIE FOR EPiCURES.

Tho Flesh OF the Barn Rodent Makes q
Delicious Pastry.
Not only is the rat fastidious in its
choice of food, but it affords a dainty
food itself, in connection with which
fact have had some amusing expert
ences. Some years ago I mentioned
incidentally in the course of lecture
that the Chinese who eat the rat habit
ually and the Parisians, who did so
under compulsion, suffered no real
hardship, as the flesh is not only nu-
tritious, but really excellent and del
icate food, far surprising that of
the rabbit. Being pressed by the au-
dience for further explanation, I told
that / spoke from practical expert
ence, and that cold rat-pie (of course
made from barn rats) was delicacy
worthy of any epicure's table.
Reports of the lecture-mostly exag-
gerated-were published in the lead.
ing newspapers, and copied into nearly
every journal in the land. An ava
lanche of correspondence poured on
me, and was greatly amused with the
different views of the writer's. A few
had summoned up courage to try the
experiment. and were unanimous in
their appreciation. Many asked for
details in the manufacture of the pie
which would have taken up a whole
cookery book if answered. Many more
asked if could kindly send them a
ready.made pie, SO that they might
Judge for themselves. Pail Mall Ga.

DIAMOND THlEVlNG.

Clever Tricks Played by Dishonest Men In
the Kimberly Mine District.
One man left the fields, and upon be-
ing followed and overtaken, pretended
he was out hunting, and as we came
up with him, coolly put his gun to his
shoulder and shot bird sailing over
head, remarking as we came up: II
don't suppose that bird has any dia-
monds under his skin, has he?" We
went through him and finding moth
ing, let him 60. Some time after
wards we learned that the two shells
he slipped into his gun after firing it,
were loaded with diamonds instead of
powder and shot, and although the
butt had been tested and the ambition
in his belt inspected, no one thought
of looking at the two cartridges in the
barrels. Soon after this, the same
man was caught at the coast with two
shotguns among his baggage for Eu-
rope, both of them being loaded to the
muzzle with diamonds. held i'll their
place by wad inserted as though to
keep out the dust.
The greatest haul we ever made was
with a book-agent; he came into the
Fields with wagon and team of oxen
and sold books to every one, staying
there quite awhile; when he left we
found seventeen of his books had a
cunning receptacle in the cover, made
by following it out, filling it with dia-
monds and plugging the end with
paper-pulp. One of our men picked
up volume to look at it, and hearing
something rattle discovered the trick.
There were over 100000 in diamonds
in his possession.
A Dutch Boor, who came to the
Fields to sell ostrich-feathers, filled
the quilts of his surplus stock with the
stones and tied the ends over so natur-
ally no one would have dreamed they
had even been opened, and the quilts,
being black in their natural state, pre-
served the deception. These were
only small stones, and although there
were a number of them they did not
amount to any large sum, compare
lively speaking.
Another clever trick was tried by a
man who had been shoemaker and
who still preserved his tools. He fixed
some hollow boot heels to number of
shoes, filled them with diamonds, and
passing inspection, boarded the stage
and drove off. Six hours after he was
gone woman whom he had been
drinking with gave the thing away be-
cause he refused to take her along.
We had long and weary chase and a
dangerous one, as the stage had relays
of horses waiting and we had not, and
to get foundered on the veldt (prairie)
meant considerable hardship. if not
death. We caught up with him at
last, and made him stare by asking
him to get down, while we went for
his boots. F. Pond, in N. Y.

The Dairy Cow.

Writing from Tennessee a corre-
spondept asks: What do you call a
good dairy cow We presume our cor
respondent means to ask how to select
a good dairy COW. Any body knows
what a good dairy COW is when he sees
and tests her products. Still there is
something more to COW than simply
yielding an abundance of milk or even
an abundance of rich milk. She ought
to be able to produce good calf,
under proper conditions. A cow, too.
ought to be just as good a beef-pro-
Queer as it is possible for her to be,
without interfering with her milk-giv-
ing qualities. Much is said about the
general-purpose COW, but while we be-
lieve that the dairy COW should be
selected first and foremost for her
abilities in the direction Of giving
milk and producing butter, the
beef side of the cow is worth
looking after, for some good
COWS are much better beef-pr0-
ducers than other COWS Of equal dairy
merits. Perhaps the chief thing about
the beef side in the dairy is quality.
Quantity can not be got beyond a GER
tain limit, we do not believe. without
injury to the milk production. Prof.
Robertson gives these characteristics
as the proper ones to find in good
COW: Broad, higa forehead; large,
prominent, bright and lively eyes;
long, clean-cut face; small, lively ears;
dewy, lustrous nose with broad muzzle
and oblong nostrils; long, fine neck;
deep chest, full behind the elbows;
unctuous, mellow, movable skin with
fine, soft, messy hair; round barrel
with fine muscles under the belly; fat
ribs, wide apart; stright-back with
joints loose and open; broad loin; wide
pelvis, slightly arched; tail shanks
and bones all of fine structure; udder
large, long and deep, elastic in quality
and not fleshy; teats wide apart; thin
hips; milk veins prominent and tortu-

To Make Good Crops.

In the making of good crops three
things are essential. These are good
soil thoroughly prepared; good seed
carefully planted in good season, and
thorough cultivation, given at the
proper time. The growth and yield of
the crops are largely dependent upon
these three items, and failure of
either one will affect the yield to
greater or less extent. With the rich
soil the elements of plant growth are
furnished, the preparation places 1t in
good condition to be taken up and
used by the growing plants, and in adj
dition aids materially to secure better
termination. For good seed planted
in well-prepared soil not only germi-
nate in a shorter time, but there will
be less of the seed that will fail to
grow, so that with these conditions
provided not only will better germi-
nation be secured, but thciftier and
more vigorous plants will be started
up.
With these secured the next import
ant item is thorough cultivation, given
in good season. With vigorous, thrifty
plants at the start, a good growth can
be readily kept up il good cultivation
is given. 1t must be given in good
season, as the best growth can be OBJ
tanned only by keeping clean and in a
good filth. If five or six workings are
necessary to give good crop, as far as
possible the first three at least should
be given in the first four weeks after
the plants appear above the ground.
If good growth is secured from the
start and the crop is planted In good
season, so that q good growth is made,
the plants will Withstand drought
with more or less damage than when
this has not been done, and it is possi-
BILE, by securing this growth, to keep
it up by good cultivation, SO that fair
yield may be obtained, even in an un-
favorable season. But neglect OF either
one of the essentials will be certain to
affect the growth and yield.
The quality of the seed and the man.
ner of planting largely determines the
stand, while the fertility of the soil
and the cultivation largely determines
the growth and yield of the plants that
have started up. The best yield can
only be realized by getting good.
even stand of healthy, vigorous plants
and then keeping up good growth un-
til the crop is made by thorough cul-
tivation. The moro Thoroughly these
conditions are supplied the better the
yield and the profit. Louis Repub.
