A WORD AS TO TOBACCO.

A WOkD AS Io IoBAS1O-
 The tobacco men are sampling their last years packing and though not abso- lutely happy over the results, are not given to finding much fault at the show ing. Tobacco in the field is all cut and ought to cure down nicely if proper care is taken. during these fine warm days and cool nights.
 A great part of the corn crop is not very badly injured. The damage lies in not caring for it now as soon as possible. It should be cut at once, and not put into too large stacks; then the fall rains will wash off the grit, and save the cat tie from injury by consuming too much sand in the fodder.
