And still another; he broke up seven
teen acres Of an old prairie pasture. on
which he planted corn, except one acre;
this he planted with tobacco. and has
raised four successive crops without any
manure, and the last yielded 1900
pounds per acre, packing weights. In
the spring of 1889 he made little
change in the location of this
acre. taking small piece of the
corn ground and throwing out as
much of the tobacco land to be
planted with corn, and the result
showed that the corn on the tobacco
ground was much larger than on the
balance OF the field, and the tobacco on
the ground attached was much smaller
than on the balance where the success
i've crops had been produced. Many
other cases pointing in this direction
might be referred to. but these are suf-
ficient for our present purpose.
0The above facts point to the conclu-
sion that the tobacco crop is less ex-
haustive to the soil than the corn crop.
There are soils which would require
fertilizing in order to produce good
yield of tobacco. but no more 80 than
would be required to produce q corre-

30 prevalent among women, is the
amiaSle wish to please the lords Of
creation, that it may reasonably be
douoted whether they ever do any
thing amiss the motive for which can
net be traced to this desire. Though
Eve ate the forbidden fruit, it is mo-
where denied that Adam twitted Ter
about the comparative unimportance Of
her attachments, and had bred in her =
restless appetite for miscellaneous
learning which made her the serpent's
easy prey. Is 1t not so with our female
education? II there is any thing wrong
with it are not the men to blame? If
it is true, as Mr.. Alien says, that the
present system produces literary wom-
en-, schoolmistresscs and lecturers on
cookery, it will probably be found, ON
investigation, that 1t is precisely those
species OF educated female that the uu-
married male most effects. No doubt
female education h all wrong. II Mr..
Allen says 1t is, but If he Is to set it
right let him consider whether the best
way to go about it is not to try and
teach wiser discrimination to males.

The farmer who would neglect or re

winter would be called brute. Blankets
are no moro necessary in winter than
good. early fruit and vegetables are to
health in summer. Then what should
farmer be called who neglects to pro-
vide good garden and orchard for his
family? 1t may be done at odd times
without detriment to the farm crops. It
is also the housewife'sduty to learn how
to prepare fruits and vegetables for the

TosAcco RAISING.


Il II NOT Nearly 50 Exhaustlag to the Soil
~ Corn.
When the culture of tobacco was first
introduced in this section it brought
with 1t the idea that large quantities of
manure were requisite to secure a good
paying crop; the consequence was that
every grower, whether his possessions
were large or small, piled on his tobacco
land all the manure he could get The
depreciation Of other farm products soon
became SO apparent that the question
arose whether the tobacco crop was
paying. The investigation showed
that those farmers who had never
raised plant were the money lenders,
and the growers as q rule were
the borrowers, and the acreage
through this discovery and the intro
duction OF the Sumatra Leaf dropped
from SIS in 1880 to 23s in 1889 in 10
Daviess County alone. But those who
had been moro successful than the most
OF their neighbors continued in the bus
mess.
A system of experiments was then
adopted to ascertain whether this vast
amount Of manure was requisite to our
soil to secure good crop Of tobacco.
The following is the results of these eff
forts One grower called the attention
Of the writer to lot of tobacco grow
ing, which was the eight crop in success
sion, on q piece of newly-cleared land
The soil was dark and very fertile. The
growth was very large and the yield
satisfactory, and no fertilizers had been
applied. Another reports the fifth crop
in succession without any manure ex-
cept what had been previously APP
piled in former crops; the yield was 20
satisfactory that he proposes to plant
he sixth. This was prairie soil
