The Value of Stable Manure to To-
baccO.

Some of the conclusions reached by
the New England Experiment Station
in regard to fertilizers for Tobacco are
that:
Good Tobacco can be raised on
stable manure. Tobacco can be spoiled
by stable manure. Both propositions
are true. If we should use stable ma
nure as truck farmers use tor rather
used it before the trolley cut off the
chief SUPPLY have no doubt we
should get dark, badly burning leaf.
But used in small amount-as in fact
we should have to use it nowadays on
account of the difficulty ofgetting it at
ALL am inclined to believe it puts a
finish on the leaf which is very desira-
bic. 1t is affirmed by some packers
who are careful observers that Tobacco
raised on manure may not look as we'll
as other leaf when pole cured, but after
casing down it comes out brighter and
much better in appearance than that
raised only on chemicals. This applies,
of course, only to stable manure. Privy
manure should never be used on To-
bacco, under any circumstances, and |
should hesitate TO use hog pen manure
where garbage or house refuse is fed in
any quantity. Animal forms Of nitro
gen such as blood, meat or bone, with
nitrates or ammonia salts, have not in
our experiments done as we'll as the
vegetable forms Of nitrogen.

IOWA'S ANTI-CIGAREFTE LAW.

Following is the text of Iowa's new
anti-Cigarette Law. So sweeping are
its provisions that many believe it can
not stand when its constitutionality is
weighed in the legal balance:
SECTION 1. No one, by himself,
clerk, servant, employe or agent shall
for himself, or any person else, direct
ly or indirectly, or upon any pretense,
or by any device, manufacture, sell, ex-
change, barter, dispe nse, give in the
consideration of the purchase of any
property, or of any service, or in eva
sion of the statute, or keep for sale,
any Cigarettes, or Cigarette paper, or
Cigarette wrappers, made or prepared
for the purpose of being filled with To-
bacco for smoking; or own, or keep,
be in any way concerned, engaged or
employed in owning or keeping, any
such Cigarettes or Cigarette paper, or
wrappers, with intent to violate any
provision Of this chapter; or authorize
or permit the same to be dene.
SEC. 2. Whoever is found guilty of
violating any OF the provisions of the
preceding section, for the first offense
shall pay fine of not less than S25,
nor more than $50, and cost of prose-
cution, and stand committed to the
county Jail until such fine and costs
are paid; for the second and each sub
sequent ofense, he shall pay, upon con-
viction thereof, fine not less than
$500 nor more than $500, and costs
of prosecution, or be imprisoned in the
county Jail not to exceed six months,
provided that the provisions of this
act shall not apply to the sales of job
bers doing an interstate business with
customers outside Of State.

Why Men Should Marry.

1t was clearly meant that all men,
as well as all women, should marry; and
those who, for whatever reason, miss
this obvious destiny are, from natures
point of view, failures. 1t is not d
question of professional felicity (Which
in eight cases out of ten may be more
than problematic), but of race respoE-
sibility. The unmarried man IS skull
ker, who, in order to secure his own
ease, dooms some woman, who has a
rightful claim upon him, to cellbacy.
And in so doing he deirauds himself
of the opportunities for mental and
moral development, which only the
normal experience can provide. lie
deliberately stunts the stature of his
manhood, impovershes his heart and
brain, and chokes up all the sweetest
potentialties of his soul.
To himself he is apt to appear like
the wise fox that detects the trap,
though it he ever SO cunningly baited;
that refuses to surrender his liberty for
the sake of an appetizing chicken or
rabbit, which. may, after all, be de-
coy stuffed with sawdust while as a
matter of fact, his case is that of the
cowardly servant in the parable, who,
for fear of losing his talent, hid it in a
napkin, and in the end was deemed
unworthy of his ste Sardship.-H. H.
Boyesen, in North american Rsuiszo.

For Beginners In Tobacco Culture.

y small crop we'll cultivated and
cured will pay better than a large one
half done.
\ canvas covered bed is the safest.
The cloth costs very little and will
doubly repay the cost ofpurchase.
Do not place the cloth too low over
the plant bed; four or five inches above
the plants is a good distance. Stretch
it tight all around and do not let it sag
in any place.
In making plant beds, while it must
be well pulverized, do not bring the
soil underneath on top. Dig straight
down and chop up finely. The sub
soil Injuries the plant if brought on top.
A deep, rich soil, OVERLAPPING red
clay subsoil, is best suited for dark,
heavy shipping tobaccos. A gray, sandy
or slaty top soil, with yellow, po-
rous subsoil is best for yellow wrap
pers and smokers; these grades are in
great demand and command better
prices than any other.
In building houses, donot place them
too near each other Where you have
plenty of room, put them from forty to
sixty feet apart. The danger from burn
ing them is lesS. \
Build your barns when you have
nothing else to do. Make them good
and tight, as you will save fuel and
time by doing SO. Ventilation is
needed, but you must have it So you
can control it at will.
In order to make a success of to-
bacco culture, you must pay attention
to every detail of Cultivation. Remem-
Der that unless you give tobacco the
attention it requires, you will not sue
coed. In fine tobacco there is good
money, but Of all crops tobacco requires
the closest attention. If you do this,
you will be rewarded for your labor
and time in receiving good prices for
your tobacco when it is put upon the

The Country Editor.

The country editor is a combina
ton of the entire "staff'' of metrop
oltan newspaper. His sphere of USE
fulness although not SO ubiquitous is
quite important as that of the great
contemporaries.
His single weekly paper is, in minia-
ture, the seven issues per week Of the
great dailies, and reaches a class that
not only read the news, but the adver-
tisemen,s as we'll. His constituency
is the most moral and high minded to
be found in the domain of history. He
reaches the homes of brain and Drawn
that send 20 the colleges and cities
the great, we'll balanced men Of the
age. He may not uproot scandal, ex-
pose corruption tear down religious
and political parties, create empires or
crush dynasties, but he reaches and
influences the majority of the army
of boys and girls who, in after years,
fight the great battles in the pulpit,
at the bar, in the hospitals and even
become his most distinguished CO.
workers in journalism.
He may take wood, potatoes or fish
for his subscription price, but he never
lies about his circulation or events
that occur in his neighborhood. He
may mention in detail the process Of
construction of country barns and
even speak of the improvements in his
town, but he makes no attempt TO build
his fortune on scandals, broken homes,
nasty twaddles or undue prying into
private life. He may write wretched
English and deplorable grammar, but
he always has an excuse for the I'M
fortunate and sympathy for those in
trouble. He may set his own type
and turn the crank of his own press,
but he is always ready and willing to
do turn for his section of country
andiS foremost in the promotion of all
enterprises. He works at starvation
prices, but never grumbles and always
chucks in his mite when the contribu-
ton box comes around. He makes
mistakes, to be sure, but whatever they
may be, he always has the best of feel

1T PAYSTO BE PROUD.

Pride is generally deprecated by
sensible people. They regard it as
foolish. So do we, in the general &C
ceptation of the term. Nothing more
thoroughly disgusts sensible people
than to see man try to play the
peacock, and thus play the fool, be-
cause he wears fine or handsome suit
of clothes. The same observation will
apply to woman.
But there is certain sort of pride
which every man and woman, too,
may be excused for showing. Indeed
it is a ground for criticism if a man
does not show it.
Every man ought to show some pride
for the prosperity and well being of
his town or community. TO be sure
there is scarcely to be found any town
or community against which there can
be brought no criticism. But it is the
duty of every one, if he is interested
in his town or community to show it
and express it as often as opportunity
presents itself. OF course it is wrong
TO wilfully msrepresent anything. So
no one is to he commended for over
rating his town or community with the
purpose of deceiving some other per-
son. But it becomes every good ci,i-
zen who lives. in good community
to feel pride in that community and
to exhibit such feeling-give expession
to it.
Against the Objectionable features Of
your community it is possible to pre-
sent the favorable features. And no
town or community can possibly be
attractive to those outside OF its people
who say more unkind and unpleasant
things than kind and pleasant things
about it.
Nothing makes town more attrac
tive to stranger, for instance, than
to hear, every person saying some
thing pleasant about its people and in
,erests. And one of the best ways in
which to make town attractive with
that sort of attraction that will draw
| OtIlCI pGOplC " IL, ID III CVCI( uIdu
and every woman to have something
10 say about the people and the town
generally.
Talk up your town if you would
have it do we'll. Talk up your town
if you would have others come to you.
Talk up your town if you would feel
an interest in it and have others feel
an interest in you. There is no other
way to do it. And many time one
little word of unpleasant reference to
something that does not exactly suit
you, nor particularly concern you as to
that matter, will turn a good mans
influence away from your town and
will even drive him away.
At your own Preside, talk up your
town. Amongst your neighbors, talk
up your town. AS you come in con-
tact with strangers, talk up your town.

The Southern Settlers Convention
at Southern Pines.
ICharlOtte Observer. |


The newspapers OF the South heart
lily endorse the convention Of Northern
and Western settlers among US, pro-
posed to be held at Southern Pines, in
this State, on the 5th of May. The
Atlanta Constitution, the Columbia
State and other papers approve the
scheme in which the plan IS to have
several hundred Southern settlers
get together and make known TO the
world how they are situated in their
adopted homes, and the reasons why
they are satisfied with having made
a change Of residence. Numerous
newspaper correspondents from the
North aid West will be present. and it
is proposed to have Excursions, with
cheap rates, 10 numerous points OF in
terest in the South, So that the advan
tages of the South and the conditions
of life and labor may be seen as they
exist. The Columbia State says truly:
"ACtual observation has often affected
wholesome changes in the impressions
of outsiders about conditions in the
South. 1t must always serve 10 give a
better idea Of the resources of the sec
ton than is TO be derived from any
quantity of mere description. Were
the proposed excursions to be nothing
more than SO many junketing expedi-
tons, they would do no little good.
AS they are to be made with view 20
business-ike inspection of the country,
they must be all The more effective. "
A desirable element of foreign i'm
migrants has of late turned southwark,
as, for example, the colony of thrifty
Waldenses in Burke county in tine ives
tern part of this State. But to much
greater extent has there been an inflow
to our section of farmers and agricul-
turalis,s from the bleaker regions Of
the North and Northwest. They are
attracted to the fine trucking sections
in the eastern portions OF North and
South Carolina and to the fertile
| farms OF Georgia and the States fur
Their South. Men of the Grand Army
OF the Republic, who with Sherman
marched thrC ugh Georgia to the sea,
have 80 years afterward, returned to
build the remarkable town of Fi,Zger-
aid and cultivate the country they
| once laid waste For settlers to come
from the trucking regions of the Caro-
linas, the melon farms Of Georgia, the
sugar cane fields of Louisiana and the
orange groves of Florida, and in con-
ventlon make known the advantages
offered by the various sections of the
| South, ou5 hit to give further impetus
to immigration to this favored coun-
try.
1t only remains to be said that the
promoters of the undertaking could
have selected no better meeting place
than Southern Pines, and the result
accomplished in this long leaf pine
country, SO brilliantly described by
Col. +. y. Odds in Sundays Observer,
will in itself be revelation to all Wis
