"ACurse to the Press"

| SyhohpuaB NoWns
The Staunton Vindicator. one Of
the most prosperous and infuential
Of the public Journals Of Virginia,
gives its experience in the matter Of
establishing the cash system after il
had run for some years on the credit
basis. The text of its article on this
subject was supplied by the recent
statement Of the Petersburg Indez
appeal that it had sustained loss OF
$4,000 by delinquent subscribers
within the few years last past, and
its resolve to discard the credit s, s.
TEN. The Vindicat0r gave six
months notice that its proprietor de-
signed to inaugurate the cash system,
and at the end Of that time, to quote
our contemporaries language, they
struck of every man who had not
paid in advance-six hundred and
thirtys.wo 10 ALL II was what thu
doctors call an heroic remedy, and
the pruprietors rose from their work
with some doubt as 10 whether they
hadn't dispatched their siaunch old
friend, the Vindicator, as we'll as the
dead heads who had been receiving
It. To their surprise the people,
when they understood it--and the
good sense Of the people always ap.
preciates the right thing when its at
teotlon is called-were rather pleased
than otherwise Those who really
wanted the paper soon paid and got
their names back on the list; those
sEo were unable to pay their arrears
dropped into obliviou; those who had
never intended TO pay blated about
what they would have done If their
names hadn't been cut Of but what
they would not do now because they
had been, and few responsible and
reliable men whose neglect wa
thoaghtlessness, felt aggrieyed for D
whlle, bat soon got over it and got oD
the list again IL was a radical re-
medy that We suppose had never been
attempted 70 the same extent before
in Virginia, and probably never has
been since, bu; il worked admirably.
The people after trying The advance
system preferred IL for they saw by
experience the advantage Of having d
paper stopped when the time paid for
has expired. and not having bills run
upon them for . paper they don't
want. The result has been this-the
Vbidtcat0rs Inst is one.fourth larger
than i ever was 10 its history and
every man on it is paid up in ad-
vance. 1t Is very true that there are
leople sho come to Subscribe but
don't. when they find the terms are
in advance. Those We lose, but ques.
tion o. whether the loss is.stj be re-
GREETED, the experience Of the lndex-
appeal ought to answer.
We have given our experience in
this matter because the credit system
is really q curse 10 the country press
Of Virginia. They pay cash for their
material and labor and th,n have 10

The King of the Smokers.

| One OF the most eccentric smok-
ers that ever lived was one Van
Klaes, of Rotterdam, says lie
1abac:' and he was known as the
King of the Smokers by his coun.
trymen. Having amassed a large
fortune in the Indies, he returned
home, and in the gardens OF a su.
perb mansion near his native
town. lie erected o museum in
which he stored a wonderful col
lection of the pipes OF all races and
all ages. s..:.. b..
There was the black pipe OF the
Nubian, the curious pipe of the
katfir, the Chinese opium pipe,
the tomahawk pipe of the Red In
dian, the water pipe of the Egyp-
tian, the short pipe of the Irish,
and Others without limit. Van
klaes was never SO happy as
when showing visitors his treas
ures and expatiating upon their
history, and each visitor was
given several packets of tobacco
and some fine cigars. 1t is said
that he consumed about four and
q half ounces OF tobacco every
day for eighty years, dying at the
age of ninety-eight.
When he found his end ap-
preaching he sent for his notary,
and said, "My dear sir, there are
two pipes, fill them; give me one,
and light the other yourself, while
| dictate to you my last wishes.
After hayingdisposed of my prop.
erty to my heirs, the hospitals,
and my friends, you will act as
follows: | wish that all the smok-
ers in this district be summoned
to my funeral by letters, by cir
culars, and by advertisements in
the papers. Each one attending
will receive ten pounds of tobacco
and two pipes engraved with the
date OF my decease. The Soor of
the district will receive on every
anniversary of my death a large
package of tobacco. To receive
the benefit of these bequests each
person attending my funeral
must smoke without intermission
during the whole ceremony. Nv
body is to be placed in a coffin
which shall be lined with piecesof
my old cigar boxes, and at each
end shall be placed a package of
French Caporal tobacco and a
package of Holland tobacco.
while ut the sides shall be placed
my favorite pipe and q box Of
matches, as no one knows what
may happen where | am going.
After the coffin islowered intothe
grave each one will pass i'm rota-
tion and drop the ashes of their
pipes upon It,"
This is probably one Of the
greatest curiosities in tobacco
literature that has been met with
for some time.

Fertilizer Experience of a Usel

i The introduction ofcOmmercia

portation of Peruvian guano in
to this country. This article wal
! in convenient form to handle
ready for immediate application
and, when properly applied, wa,
wonderfully effective inits action
It was first experimental with ii
a small way, but not used yer,
largely, until about 80 years ago
In the years 1857 and 1858
used it on IL tobacco field Of five
acres which had been highly ma
nured in previous years, and
found it to produce astonishing
results, and particularly in 1856
it produced the greatest growth
of tobacco | have everseen. This
was the common experience Of
farmers who used it at that time.
A few years later the supply ol
Chincha Island guano was ex.
hausted, and owing to the inie.
rior quality Of other guanos af.
terwards introduced, guano lost
it's place in public favor and fell
into gradual disuse.
About 25 years ago Mr.. Lyman
klapp, agent OF the Union Oil
Company of Providence, r. l.,
bought q "a acre tract OF plain
land in Hatfield. He employed a
superintendent to till this land
and sent up the waste products
of his mill as a fertilizer. The
waste consisted of slightly dam
aged cotton seed meal, cotton
seed hulls and cotton hull ashes,
and these were the only fertilizers
used. One person at least care
fully watched this new departure,
and noted the crops that were
grown. These crops, consisting
ofcorn, rye, grass, onions and
tobacco, were all excellent, and
the quality, particularly OF the
tobacco grown in 1S67and 1868,
was equal to the best Isaw grown
those years. '%.+~ 70 ~ "a --
In the year following this land
came into my possession, andex-
periments with fertilizers have
been continued down to the pres
ent time. In the year 1873 lap
piled a good coatingof green ma
nure to four acres of the lightest
part Of this land, that had been
run for several years withoutma-
nure or fertilizers. l also applied
two tons per acre Of damaged
cottonseed meal, whichcosts S13
per ton delivered. The tobacco
crop when packed yielded over
800 lbs. of fine tobacco per
acre, and the, quality was such
that it brought Che highest price
in market. This remarkablecrop
attracted considerable attention
at the time. but most fiirmers
gave the credit of,the growth to
tile manure, with but little to the
cottonseed meal. But few saw
the great value Of the meal as a
fertilizer, even in Hatfield, until
several years later.
The value Of cottonseed meal
as a fertilizer il nowgenerally ad-
mitted by farmers, and its use is
being morelargely elyincreasedfronl
year to year, because It Is found
that the plant food it contains
costs less than in mostothercom-
mercial fertilizers on the market.
Its most valuable constituents
are nitrogen, phosphoric acid and
potash, According to reliable
analyses q ton ofcottonseed meal
contains about 40 lbs Of nitro.
gen, which iorms the basis to es.
innate its value. II nitrogen is
