with selected chemicals, stable manure
and rich moist earth. The latter whel
compoSted in ii .e is the best and
surest. But beware of using manure
containing grass seed. The judgment
of the planter must guide him in th'
amount of furtilizing material to b.
applied at this stage; but it is we'll tt
remind him that the tobacco plan
rarely responds to homeopathic dose:
of plant food, but that the allopathit
usage suits it best.
TINE OF SOWING SEED.
The time for sowing varies with the
latitude, variety, season. Between the
parallels of So and 400 north latitude
composing the great tobacco belt, bed:
may be sown any time between the Isl
of January and 10th March, and the
sooner the better for bright grades
which ought to be planted early tc
mature, ripen and yellow, preparatory
to being cured early in the fall, when
the most successful curings are usually
made. Yellow tobacco ought 10 be
planted out in May, but June paintings
usually do best in heavy dark grades
The planter will consult hisinterest by
sowing at a proper time to suit the
grade he desires to raise. Plants set
out after the 10th Of July rarely pay
for growing and handling, and if not
planted by that time, it will be wise to
plant the hills in peas, potatoes, or
something else.
Sow at the rate of tablespoonful of
seed, which is about half an ounce, on
every fifty square yards at first sowing,
and later resow with heaping teaspoon
full over the same surface, to secure a
good stand. Injury by frosts or bugs
may require third or fourth sowing.
Sow little thick rather thar too thin
to meet contingencies, and secure a
good stand in time.
The best way to sow the seed is to
mix them thoroughly with a fertilizer
or dry ashes, and SOW once regularly
over the bed, reserving seed enough to
cross-sow to promote regularity. The
tobacco seed is the smallest of all farm
seeds, and consequently requires ligh,
covering. If the seeds are sown be-
fore the 10th of February, the bes,
way is to firm the surface by treading it
over closely, but if sown later, sweep
lightly over with brush or light rake
Then run surface drains through the
bed, with inclination enough to pass
OFT the water. TO do this properly,
run them off four or five feet apart
with the foot, then oper with narrow
grubbing hoe to the depth of three
or four inches. Then trench deeply
around the outside Of the bed, to ward
off surface water and prevent washing.
MULcHlNG AND COVERING.
Hog hair whipped fine and scattered
thinly over the bed attracts and retains
i DISTURB, protects the plants from frost
and acts as manure There is no
better covering for plant bed but
unfortunately it is rarely ever in full
supply. Fine brush should he placed
thickly over the bed. or, if not handy,
cover with straw or chaH, free from
grain. A covering of some such ma
terial is necessary, or the young plants
are likely to be killed by frost or suffer
from drought, and they thrive better
