Tobacco Culture.

Harvesting.-The plant should be cut
with a sharp, strong knife, entire, and not
split, as some do. BY no means break off
the leaves in the field, as was the uni
versal custom in GGdsden county before
the war. Leaves thus gathered, die as
It were, losing both elasticity and brill
hancy-besides, this old method is too te-
dious and expensive. ] am aware that
gathering the leaves I'm baskets is becom-
ing popular In the bright plug tobacco
districts, but in many respects cigar leaf
needs the very opposite treatment from
plug leaf e., the former wants to run
200 to 300 leaves to theepound. the latter
20 to 3d. The former needs humidity all
the way through from the seed to the
cigar and often water is used to wet the
barn floor, whereas the other needs a
furnace. Cigar leaf must be bulkcd almost
damp, the other almost dry, so let no one
be led astray by agents of patent barns
and hues from plug districts. or laborers
therefrOm. My own experience in Nir-
ginia, North Carolina and Kentucky mis-
led me In my first experiments.
Never cut tobacco while the dew or rain
drops remain on the leaves, as black spots
Will result. | prefer to cut in the after
noon, as the sun Is getting weaker, for
in the forenoon, unless cloudy, there is
danger of sunburn, which win result in
ten minutes just before noon. Before
and after the plant is cut be careful to
remove every worm, as they will destroy
the tobacco if taken into the barn. II the
ground has not been cultivated for two
or three weeks before cutting. there will
be nice carpet of grass on which to lay
the tobacco when cut-don't kay ii down
I'M the sand or drt-select a shaded
grassy place and after 1t has wilted so
as not to break, lay it very carefully on
the straw on the floor of the wagon, and
when q medium load is on, cover it with a
sheet or some weeds. so as to protect IL
from the sun while en- route to the barn,
where it must be placed on a rug or some
straw very carefully. till the hand who
must remain there has speared 1t on the
laths and put it closely up on the bottom

day, when it should be carried up and

PIantIng Erergrcenr.

Evergreens differ from declduous trees.
in the fact that there is no time Of year
when they are not evaporating a consid-
cradle amount Of water through their
foliage. But this evaporation is greater
at some times than at others. the largest
amount being from the new growth in
early spring and summer. As a COnsc-
quence OF this evaporation there is unus-
ual call upon the roots for moisture II
the soil is warm and moist the new roots
put out rapidly. Al the beginning Of the
new growth, or "A little before, il is, there
fore, the best time 20 plant evergreens.
We notice that some leading nurserymen
advise planting eVergreens late in sum
mer or early fan Their argument is
that the soil is then warmer and In bet
ter condition to stimulate cool grow tn
than IL Is earlier. We do not doubt that
with care evergreens may be successfully
planted in August or September, but
there is then a considerable new growth
Of leaves which must be checked by
transplantng. Ii would seem 10 be much
like planting deciduous trees in midsum'
mer. 1t may be done, but there must be
more chances of failure than If the eX-
pertinent be tried i'm late spring, before
any new growth had been made.

Care of the weanins Colt.

With oats at Is cents a bushel on the
farm Qet US hope they are well bred and
right lines) there is no excuse for spoil
ing the young colt this year, says the
Western Rural. one of the greatest
leaks on the farm is the damage that
colts in the past time have suffered for
lack of proper food from weaving time
until the grass is good the next spring.
The first year Of the colt is the year the
foundation is built; the plan Of the foun-
dalton Is sketched when the colt is bred,
and especially when the sire is chosen;
The foundation is actually constructed
during the first year Of the colts life.
Many good colts are spoiled by being al
lowed to follow the dam to work or to
town. We always pity these young things
trailing along far behind with no life or
energy, and evidently feeling that this is
a sad and dreary world and life is a
burden. Instead they should be confined
in the stable or better still, in a grass
paddock with a yearing colt for COM
pany and gradually taught TO eat good
clean oats or bran. Weaving them with
good fall pasture and additional grain
becomes easy and the colt is fairly started.
The farmer who fails to feed his colts
plenty of oats this winter deserves to
sell them at a cheap price when they are
3 or 4 years old. There is no time in the
colts life when it will pay as well for
grain as in these second six months but
the grain should be mostly oats. for what
is wanted now is growth, formation of
muscle and bone, not fat. Corn should
be fed according to the severity of the
weather, for corn furnishes the fuel to
keep the colt warm.
By the time these weanlings are ready
for market, horses in our opinion will bring
a good price. BY that time the bicycle
fad will have spent its force, bicycists
realizing that it will cost them about as
much to keep a bicycle in repair and re-
place it when worn out as 1t will to
keep a good saddle or buggy horse The
farmers are now Disguised with raising
horses. and are turning their attention to
hogs and cattle ana they are apt to
go in a gang there will very likely be a
shortage in horses before they are aware
of tia shortage that cannot be supplied
short of five years, and then not fully.
Take care of the colts, and IL you have
any loose change take in good colts

offered at public sales

Poultry in the Orchard.-Oue of the
best places for the, poultry house is the
orchard. The fowls are away from the
garden and have a range where they can
secure plenty of green food bugs, worms,
and other insects, in destroying which
they benefit the trees and fruit. The site

is most essential that poultry have dry
quarters i'm which they may roost, or
take refuge when 1t storms. on a farm
1t is no easy matter to give the fowls a
good range and at the same time to keep
them away from the garden, the hog
pen, and the stables. In many cases,
the orchard is the only good place for the
poultry house The fowls do better there
with the variety of feed they secure,
than If they were kept in more restrict
ed quarters. If the poultry house Is to
be built during the summer. Il will pay

A Wonderful Vine-The pumpkin vine on
Fl. G. Meeker's farm, east of Delavan
Wis, has about fulfilled its mission al
though it has not yet stopped growing,
it being now over 100 feet long. and is
decked with twenty-seven pumpkins, most
of them being as large as bushel baskets
and some much larger. Had the season
been favorable the probability is this
pumpkin vine would have reached out to
Hopedale, Dillon, and Boynton townships

Poultry manure should be removed from
the houses every day and should be kept
under cover. Every time droppings are
added to the pile, sprinkle on either land
plaster or kainit. The latter is to be pre-
ferred because it contains potash i'm which
the poultry manures are deficient The
object of the addition is to prevent the
