Prof f. b. Noodle the Columbian
County tobacco authority, thus describes
the model tobacco barn in ''Florida."
The simple "shed with open walls, or
no walls, is one extreme, and the patent
"snow barn" is the other extreme. But

must need be air-cured, (not kiln-dried),
but the air in the barn must or should
be of a certain degree of humidity, and
never dry enough to crisp the leaf. The
proper climatic conditions prevail gen
orally in Florida during the summer
nights and rainy days. The thermome-
ter is not more susceptible to the temper
allure of the air than tobacco leaf is of
the degree of moisture in the air. To
bacco may be cut thoroughly ripe and
hung up in dry atmosphere, and when
dry enough to make snuff, it will be the
same color as in the field. The nicotine
or nocctanin has not been kept solvent
or fluent so as to color the leaf brown,
for this tanic acid is the coloring matter
To have it fluent in the night and dry
in the day causes the leaf to "calicO"
and have white veins" when cigar leaf
must be uniform in color. Moreover,
the time required for curing cigar leaf
may be shortened by keeping the degrees
of temperature and moisture uniform
day and night without interruption.

Remember the motto, cigar leafneeds

where grown to perfection far away from
a body of water, and that where it never
freezes, hence all good cigar leaf is grown
on semi-trOpical or tropical islands and
pcninsulars. The semi-tropical is better

Good Advice from the Devil.

others. Yesterday morning | was out
earlier than common and was fairly at
work by break Of day.

order to do it well, but let it range
around from the Worlds Fair to Japan.
AT the time of which [ speak [ had

the grove, invented hoe which went
with crank and which would do the
work in about quarter of the time of
an ordinary hoe, had gotten it patented,

thousand dollars in my pocket with a
prospect of many more for royalties,

presence whether visible or not, and in
advertantly looking around, saw stand
ing by the next tree parsonage of COM
manding mien.
At glance I noticed that he had on
black trousers, patent leather boots and
a very long Prince Albert coat buttoned
to the chin. He also wore a silk hat
and a very large mustache. The rest
of his face was clean shaven.
I said "Good morning stranger" and
a"Good morning Mr.. SMITH was the
answer. Ireplied "your figure and face
are so familiar but I cannot call your
name" He turned half way round and
pulling aside his long coat tail rev called
to me an appendage carried by no one
but himself, and l said "Ah my old
friend the enemy" He smiled smile
of assent.
A sharp hoe is one Of the best weap-
ons at short range that know of, but
also knew that whatever his purpose
of calling on me at that time, he meant
me no bodily injury, so slightly turned
my head and devoutly repeated the
last clause Of the Lords Prayer.

He gave me quite a good lecture on
orange culture in general and of plow-
ing around or near the trees in partic-
ular. | explained that the grass had
got so heavy that it looked to be too
much of job to undertake it with a hoe.
He offered nothing new in argument,
but he had an original way OF speaking
OF the tree and its parts as he would i

Williams, answering that Mrs. May
nard was at home and at leisure, took
Mr.. North's hat with an air of great
solicitude, leaving that gentleman to
make his own way to the drawing-room
and enter unannounced.
Mrs. Maynard was quite alone there.

fauteuil, with the train Of her white

II Needs But Little Care to Bring Forth
an Abundant Harvest.
The finest plantations Of olives are in
the Nablus district Of Palestine, but
nearly every village has its larger or
smaller grove. There Is no doubt, says
the Detroit Free Press, that the olive
tree Is one of the most valuable products
Of the country, and that 1t could be
made q still greater source of revenue
than 1t is at present 1t requires but
little attention and lives and yields
fruit even when neglected. II only re-
quires grating and little digging up
and clearing out, and, this done, II

strong country woman who can flourish
without such tender care; but the olive
tree is bold bedawijs, who, in spite OF
neglect and hardship, remains q strong
and useful Arab wife.
The olives ripen towards the end Of
the summer; the trees are then beaten
with long sticks, care being taken not
10 destroy the young leaves and shoots.
The fruit Is collected and spread out on
the roofs or other convenient places,
and then put into heaps for little
while In order that II might slightly
ferment, after which II Is taken TO the
oil press, where It Is crushed under
heavy milestone and, packed Ia little
straw baskets, is finally pressed. The
oil (zayt) runs into cemented cistern,
from which it is drawn in leather bot
ties or large earthen Jars for carrying
away.
The feilah uses It both for light and
nourishment. II he has nothing better

cookery, but as means Of light II has

North nodded carelessly and stood
for moment contemplatively gazing
out of the window; then, summoning
all his resolution, he quietly approached
the door and entered the private Office
Of North and Wescott.
His first impression was of rather
luxuriously furnished chamber, with
easy chairs, a whist table, q shelf of
novels and other similar adjuncts to re-
lieve the severely legal aspect Of the
place. But before he could glance crit
ically or comprehensively around the

facuf~ s, were absorbed by startling
discovery.
Behind one Of the desks, and evident
ly In rightful possession thereof, he
saw an awkwardly bent figure, famil-
lar shock of dark brown hair, familiar
pair of English whiskers and eye
glasses.

few hairline fourishes TO the signature
that he had just scrawled on the paper
before him, Mr. Wescott suddenly
Strengthened up and met North's as
tonished gaze.
