Tobacco Stems as Fertilizers.

When tobacco stems are abundant and
cheap they make very good fertilizer to
plow under, or to use as a mulch around
fruit trees or among small fruit. They kill
or drive away many species Of insects,
and are therefore especially valuable on
land that Is to be sown next spring with
turnips, ,radishes and onions. If the land is
thought likely to be infested with grubs
that troubles those roots.

turn it in tothe barrel.

fact that all lower animals are dumb, says

perfect and his face handsome in the ex-

specimens of humanity. Knowing OF
the accomplishments, and being much
given to fiatterlng each other, they became
very naughty and arrogant. Az punish

that deluge would be sent to drown them
from the face of the earth. In the dream
of the great calamity impenking there was
presented to his visionary view the form

declaring their unwillingness to accom-.

turn against them he ought TO be swept from nc
