severe droath, has played mischief
with one ofthe best crops promised
in many years. We al remember
we'll with what joy the report was
received in December last that the
crop would be the largest and one of
the 6uest raised during the past
twenty years. To-day the situation
has changed, aud although the yield
will be large one, the quantity of
good serviceable stock is small, and
the factories will have great deal Of
trouble and expense in securing what
they need. Both Vuelta Abaio and
Partido wrappers will be very scarce
on account of their being so much
blotted Leaf. Very few light colors
are to be obtained, and the filters
will contain a large percentage of
flimsy stuff, fit only for Germany and
Canada.

Pear Blight Remedy.

All the fungus diseases of plants,
such as mildew, scab, blight, rust.
rot, etc, are contagious The con
tagion is carried from year to year
in the diseased parts, be it leaf, fruit
or branch. The presence ofany of this
diseased material in the orchard or
vineyard increases the chance of the
appearance and spread of the disease
another year. Nothing is SO distruc-
tive to the fungus spores as fire, and
all affected plants or parts of plants
should be cut out and burned.
For two years past the blight,
which is a fungus growth, has pre-
vailed to limited extent On some of
our pear trees, but we have almost
entirely overcome ii by cutting back
the dieased limbs as soon as dis
covered and burning them. We
sprayed the trees, however, and this
may have helped them to withstand
the fungus.

Every farmer in North Florida
should know that by the estab-
1ishment of manufactures in their
vicinity, which employ q large
nnmber of workmen, they secure a
desirable home market for their
products. Therefore we urge one and
ALL as we have often before, to en-
courage the manufacturer to come to
their towns and build these establish
ments and if called upon give them
some of the idle acres to come. A
good home market will beat trading
with extortionate express companies
or rascallv commission merchants.

Assert your leaf tobacco as far O.

Assert your leaf tobacco as far al
you can for its uses. Some is good
for smoking, some for chewing
some for cigarettes, some for plug
wrappers, some for export in ite
varied requirements. Assert and
prize with some definite object in
view, that object being its usefulness
for a certain trade
Then comes the most important
thing, namely, the order-the dry
ness of the tobacco. Have all your
tobacco in 50 dry condition that it
will stay sound for at least two years.
This applies to nearly all grades,
with perhaps the exception of wrap
pers, which need not be so dry.
More money ia lost and more mistakes
are made by having tobacco in too
wet than in a too dry condition. For
our home trade, where most Of your
product will go, the tobacco ought to
be dry, yet pliable. Aim at that,
and if you hit it you will get as near
perfection as can be reached. ga
thing that is worth doing, is worth
doing we'll"

The question of light colored
wrappers is daily becoming more
and more an important one in the
trade. The manufacturers are almost
constantly in state of perplexity,
for they cannot half fill the orders
they receive for light colors.
Naturally they desire to please all of
their customers, but as the ancient
Afro-American remarked, eff man
haint got er thing, he cahnt gin to
ernother man what wants hit" The
manufacturer has nowadays to dis
tribute his cigars after the manner
of the banker at the gaming table
so many OF each different colored
chips to each man; for if there are
only dozen red chips and four men
(cigar manufacturers and leaf dealers)
playing, the banker cannot give FIVE
"reddies" to each sport.-Tobacco

"For years dentists have recog.
nized the fact that tobacco is an
active germicide, and state that To-
bacco users have the best preserved
teeth. For twenty years / have been
engaged in the general practice of
medicine, and during that time have
treated many cases Of pulmonary
tuberculosis. do not remember that
one OF my consumptive cases was
habitual smoker of tobacco. My
reflections on this subject led me to
suggest that tobacco smoke, as in
hailed daily and almost hourly by the
habitual smoker, retards or prevents
the development of the bacillus
tuberculosis in the laryDx and lungs
of the smoker, IS it has been demon
strated to prevent the development
OF the bacilli OF typhus fever and
pneumonia. Look back upon your
cases Of consumption and recall TO
mind any among them who were
habitual smokers of tobacco. As far
as can recall TO mind tobacco
smokers have good lungs.
"This question merits attention, as
the great destroyer of human life i.
consumption. More fall by it than
by the combined fatality of war,
famine and any two of the most
fatal diseases which affiict mankind.
Another fact in favor of the antidote
or preventive influence of tobacco
smoke is the fact that consumption

Of its victims among females, non

lew They Grow Fruit over I'm Wesl

Two years ago last March I set
500 yearling trees in clearing. The
ground was in bad condition, but
they did very welland twelvemonths
later some of them were loaded
with peaches. 1 took fifty to sixty
of each tree and left fifty each on
some Of them, then they matured and
ripened in good shape and We were
eating them ia May, just fourteen
and q half months from the
time they were planted. I have
seen yearling trees set in January
produce q few specimens the came
year, but the quickest work for a
peach ever saw was fruit produced
the same season from seed. Some
seedlings came up alongside of a
barn lot and grew rapidly till about
four feet high, when horse inside

Of them bloomed and two of them
ripened q peach apiece seven months
from time Of sprOutiOg. 1 have set

We have gone astray from the good

Pea vines are the best fertilizer
and restorer of exhausted land that
can be found. In the North and
West clover is used, but the pea vine
is best for Florida soil and climate.
This plant assimulates larger amounts
of nitrogen from the atmosphere than
any other crop grown, and it con-
tains a heavy percentage of plant
food.
The experiments given show that
the cow pea is exactly what we need
for our exhausted land to maintain
it's fertility by rotation of crop.
About two bushels to the acre, sowed
broadcast will make fine yield.

In the farm, as in all business, the
work well done pays the best. The
more nearly a clearing is made a
clearing, the better the results, and
the more the pay. Again, the clear
ing is usually made at such seasons
as labor is not needed in the crops.
If thoroughly done, the work for the
growth of the crops will be greatly
lessened. If partially done, as before
said, much valuable time must be
given at a season when it cannot be
we'll spared to remove such growth
in weeds and bushes as is greatly
damaging to the growing crops.

1t is very easy to make a crop on
paper, but the farmer who will make
the experiment OF reducing his
acreage, varying his productions and
doubling his manure for FIVE years,
win never wish to return to the old
scattering method. Ten acres of
cotton, well MANFRED and cultivated
always a few days before it is needed,
will make more clear money than
thirty-6ve acres planted in cotton
and half mauured and half cultivated.
When one raises his own wheat, corn,
moiasses and forage, he will soon
raise has supply of meat.

There are but few farmers who can
be excused for not raising hogs.
They are so easily managed, so
cheaply fed, so generally exempt
from fatal diseases, and withal so
profitable, that we would rather-as

corn than raising hogs. What is
true of hogs it still more strictly and
generally true of milk, butter, beef
and mutton, chickens, eggs. The
trouble is our inclinations are too
strongly in favor of cotton

The Mystery of Inheritance

The body of an individual animal or
plant is to be regarded, from the point of
view Of heredity, as consisting of two
distinct elements. These are germ cells
and body cells, the former devoted to the
important work of reproducing the race,
the latter constituting the actual bodily
material, and '?ischarging all the ordi-
nary functions through which the indi.
vidual life is maintained. Inheritance is
Il matter of the continuity Of the germ
plasm or germ cells, which are handed
down from Il generation to another in
cumulative ratio, carrying with them in
each case not the features and qualities
of the IL predecessor and parent, but of
all preceding generations.
Assuming that the germ plasm is liable
to exhibit variations, we can see how and
why such variations can be transmitted
to new generations; but we have also to
take into account the influence on the
germ cells of the body to which they
belong. While, then, Inheritance pre-
serves through the continuity of the
germ cells the stability of the race, it
gives the rein to variation, and by the
combined influences of environment act
ing on the body of the individual peoples
the world with new and ever varying
forms Of life.-Dr. Alexander Wilson in
Harper's.

An Easy Lesson.

There were two very young women
aged five or tllereabouts and exactly of
Il size. One had long yellow curls tum-
bling about her round pink face and big,
wide blue eyes that looked fearlessly ut
everything. The other was fair, too,
but her eyes We're dark and timid and
there were little whirls in her
silky black locks. The pair We're trot-
ting along the wide pave Of an uptown
residence street at about 6 O'Clock in the
afternoon. After three blocks of it Miss
Blue Eyes said, in just her mammals
tone:
''Now, Bessie, dear, l must kiss you
goodby. Your house is just around the
corner and nothing will hurt you. There
is a policeman right opposite; RIM home
now, and be sure you come again soon.
| have so enjoyed our talk about the
dear little doggie and the dolls. Tell
Julia my Estelle sends love to her, and
come tomorrow. | am so glad always
floating off in the middle of a sentence.
Bessie went around the corner all
a-tremble, and probably got safe home.
Half way across the block her compan-
ion heaved a deep, world weary sigh and
said rehectively, "You just have to be
polite-but my-ain't it awful tiresome
solnetimes!"-New York Recorder.

Syrup"

Here is an incident from the South
mississippi, written in April, 1890,
just after the Grippe had visited that
country: II am a farmer. one Of
those who have to rise early and
work late. At the beginning oflast
Winter I was on a trip to the City
of Vicksburg, Miss. where got well
drenched in a shower of rain. I
went home and was soon after seized
with a dry, hacking cough. This
grew worse every day, until 1 had
to seek relief. Iconsulted DR.. Dixon
who has since died, and he told me
to geta bottle of Boschee's German
Syrup. Meantime my cough grew
worse and worse and then the Grippe
came along and I caught that also
very severely. My condition then
compelled me to do something. l
got two bottles of German Syrup. I
began using them, and before taking
much of the second bottle, I was
entirely clear of the Cough that had
hung to me 50 long, the Grippe, and
all its bad effects. Ife1t tip-top and
have felt that way ever since -
