The Trade DeMaando That It Shall He Fan
Ripe aud OF Good Body.
A gentleman who has had q number
of years. experience in the tobacco bus
manis of manufacturers, gives i'm
formation below that should interest
the growers of the bluegrass section.
He says:
bluegrass tobacco should be made
better bodied. because the fancies of
the manufacturers demand it. Moth
ing is now desirable as a filler unless
ago the only requisite qualities were
length, color and smoothness.
Now they want it tough and
gummy; of course it's being
smooth, having length and color
add to its popularity. but the main at
traction of a piece of tobacco is its ripe
ness. The question arises as how to
best obtain these results and still avoid
other bad results. To let tobacco get
too ripe it is liable to spot and to get
coarse and rough. To avoid these:
first carly planting gives greater
length of time in which to grow the
crop, and still cut early, which is very
essential to good quality: say to begin
cutting the 18th or2Oth of August, con-
Guiding at the same date in September.
To top tobacco high very materially
lessons the chances of spot and
entirely does away with any chances
of it's getting rough and coarse.
When it is topped high it can be
let stand six weeks from time of
topping and in that time it will ac-
cumulate more gum from the dews
than in a shorter time. of course. I
think for the next few years the fancy
is going to run more and more to we'll
ripened, good-bodied tobacco until an
extreme is reached in producing types
above mentioned. These types are pro-
duced at the expense of the cutting
types, and in a few years, when the
manufacturers tire of ripe. s.ootl-bodied
tobacco they will then go gradually
back to the thinner sorts, but for the
present plant your tobacco thick on
the ground and top it high to prevent
it's being rough. Let it get thoroughly
ripe, which will give it the body. The
extra expense of caring for it two
weeks longer in the field is more than
compensated for the gain in weight.
Bluegrass tobacco is not allowed to get
ripe as a rule. "-Farmers' Home Jour

What the Farmer Requires.

The vocation of the farmer is an hon.
bile, independent and lucrative one,
and when followed intelligently will
yield a bountiful return.
1t permits of more varied work. n
wider range of thought and more OPP
portunities for observation and reflec-
ton than almost any other occupation.
Mother eartll-the farmers capital
is kindly disposed, and when properly
nourished and persuasively entreated
by the diligent use of modern imple-
ments of husbandry, will yield her
bounties in profusion.
The farmer is more dependent on nat
ural causes for success than other pro-
LESSONS. Rains must come at the proper
time, heat and cold must alternate in the
proper ratio. In other words, the sea-
sons must make their regular period
ical rounds and bring the changes
incident to each. but, as these are
variable and uncertain in most cli-
mates, it becomes unnecessary for the
farmer to educate himself in all
branches of knowledge, both practical
and scientific, connected with his pro.
fessiOn.
The time to SOW, the time to reap,
the kind of soil and the proper mode
of preparing it for each particular
crop, the kind and quantity of fertiliz-
ing material to use for each particular
product, the proper mode of cultiva-
ton to suit the weather conditions ex-
listing at that particular time, and the
proper manner of harvesting, storing
and mark ting. TO market to the best
advantage the farmer must know
where the best markets for his products
are located and the probable cost Of
shipment.
He should also thoroughly post him

mand. not only at home. but broad.

his competitors in the race for a COM

TO obtain these publications. the
farmer must be practical; he must

KIM the Weeds.
Exterminate the weeds. If a field is
infested with a particular weed, study
into it's character. Many are biennials
and can be practically exterminated in
time by keeping the blossoms cut, thus
preventing seeding, and since the roots
do not spread the weeds will gradually
die out" Science is already on the
way to help in the fight against weeds.
Prof. Il. u. Halsted, an eminent stu
dent of plant diseases, thinks he has a
fungus that is going to destroy the

Perhaps some fungus a disease
may yet be found that will kill sorrel,
white daisies, wild carrots, and even

of the weeds. and if any seem to he

 Mayor Kilduff presided at the meeting of the water supply committee last night. There were present Messrs Wade, Hart Barlow, Hauser, Fitzpatrick, Webster and City Engineer Cairns. ...
 Charles Thatcher & Go were granted permission to sublet the rock excava- tions in their contract on section two, to John E. Mcintyre of New York.
 Mir Cairns reported that the city attorney had found the address of Miles Tierney, and man named Lipps, hitherto un- pipe line is to run. It was voted to au- thorizA the city attorney to offer Tierney $50 and Lipps $10 for the right of way.
 Contractor Altman appeared before the meeting and said that some time ago the city engineer told him to quit work, stat ing that he could not continue the work any further until the new dam was con- pleted. He accordingly removed all his tools down here. Afew days ago he said he ro caived notice to go to work again. Mir Cairns says that Altman had only been stopped on the highway where he would in terfere with travel and that there were several other points where he could have continued at work, all of which was ex- plained to MT Altman at the time. "He left the job," said MT Cairns, ''and as soon as I learned of his doing so I sent him a notice to continue the work" It was afterwards brought out during the discussion that Mir Altman wants $500 damages on account of the delay. There is no particular hurry about the work and the meeting voted to lay the matter on the table.
 A petition from John W. Gaffney & Go was read, stating that they could build the dam with stone instead of rubble for $31,- 080 extra. After some debate it was voted to reject the offer.
