cause they are more apt to produce milk. Corn should be housed and blowing done. Here we have light, calcareous soil, which is soothing to the bare feet of the peasant, and sometimes produces . large green worm called the tobacco worm
 He is not so plentiful in this state as formerly, having gone farther south, where he can get his tobacco cheaper. Here, too, he found a good deal of com petition. The tobacco worm has no other occupation on earth than to use tobacco. Here he found that others had already entered the field before him and undertaken to subsist entirely upon tobacco and rest, Therefore the tobacco worm is less plentiful now in North Carolina than formerly. Tobacco is also
 6 per cent. less in quantity here this fall than formerly, but of good quality. The brightest and most fragrant tobacco for smoking is grown in this state. It smells as sweet as clover and isnot in- inrious to health.
 Snuff is not grown here, and So some times when there is a blockade or washout on the railroad snuff cannot be readily landed at our doors, and there fs great deal of suffering. Nobody nose how much there is.
 Snuff is not administered up the nose here, however, among those who use 1t, but is kept in neat little bonbon- niere, or gourd, and small wooden stick made of birch, chewed into brush at one end, is ever and anon dipped into the snuff and then chewed thoroughly or rubbed back and forth over the gooms.
 Only the hoi poHoi use snuff here-- tue hoi polloi lady, mean. If you see her coming down vista of brilliant autumn coloring, somber figure in the gaudy perspective, you will notice that she dexterorsly jerks something out of her mouth and conceals it in her apron, trying as you pass to look all wrapped up in the contemplation of nature.
 She has just removed her snuff stick or, as may say, half in jest. the handle of the dipper is removed. Here one finds among the peasantry children hardly done with their milk teeth using snuff in this way. So we have the Lit. tie Dipper and the Big Dipper
 The snuff stick or brush is left dan gling in the corner of the Invath as lit tie young children in the absence of tho mother hold corner of cloth that has been wrapped around a bit of sugar. ''and tho same with intent to deceive.'
 Arden is not large place, but it is good site for one. There are two gen. efal stores and a blacksmith shop. Late- ly there is shooting scrape on Satur- days
 ! Since l have been digging my we'll have put good deal of money in circu- htion. This has made flush times in western North Carolina, and some law Tessness. Human life at one time was @ lightly valued while this stream of gold was flowing in that hsd to shut down work on my well till times should tighten up a little,
 Lately have been putting in wind mill at the estate. This, too, has let a food of wealth into the channels of trade. Eggs went up to 8H cents. and good eggs were worth shilling. ! had been reading about windmills pd determined to buy one. At first Bought would buy one of those dear old windmills of Southampton and Eu. Tppe which the artists rave about, but this one will be dear enough ty the time I get through with it.
 The mill arrived last April and was put on the ground early in that month A plumber from Asheville was ern- ployed to put it up Eight men were sent out here by train to put the mill up. They did not know how to put up Swindmill, . and so preparatory school had to be opened here to give in- Hructions. Ipaid the tuition. Special trains carried my plumbers to and from Asheville. It was a pleasant sight to gee those plumbers or their way, with kTight, expectant faces, toward the place where they were learning how to plumb 1 @t my expense.
