All the money she received was clear

Mr.. Peacock says; The most import

and to sell it.
We have heard of that before, but as
our authority recommends selling 1t be-
fore it is cured, we rest easy on that
score, and you know it is not difficult to
sell it.

were used, but space is limited.

Mr.. Peacock thinks am conservative
man with most positive convictions.
Well, perhaps so.
A part of the letter, and the part to
which Mr.. Peacock saw fit to reply, was
written for the express purpose of get
ting an answer. So 1 am not disap-
pointed, but I am sorry Mr.. Peacock
mentions Prof. Ladislaus Won Wagner
as his authority for the statement that
horse, sheep and hog dung will produce
tobacco Of quality unfit for smoking.
Prof. Won Wagner may have been an
exception, but would prefer for my au-
thority on so delicate matter man of
most any other nationality.
A cigar is generally smoked after a
meal, and it is a question with me how
a German or Hungarian with his
stomach and olfactory organs full OF sour
krout, lager beer, and limberger cheese
can be capable of rendering a true deci-
sion on 50 delicate a m after as the flavor
OF a fine cigar. should think the smok
ing of cigar having the flavor of the
10 cat would be an agreeable relief,
and luxury to a man with such con-
tents in his stomach and would be very
enjoyable, much more so tnan anything
mider or more delicately favored.
Mr.. Peacock says: Extensive ex-
perimental research has long since
determined, beyond the question of a
doubt, that the quality of tobacco is
very materially affected by the nature
of the manure used; that in Connecticut
exhaustive experiments have been con-
Quoted to determine the inf1ence of
various manures on the quality of
tobacco, and am afraid that it was
clearly shown that rank farmyard ma
nure did not make very enviable rec
ord."

There is no success like success, and
money is what every individual is after.
If it pays best to use chemicals by all
means use them, but must give you an
illustration of what has taken place
right here.

groves were plowed, narrowed, and the
trees hoed at least four times a year.
One season Mapes' orange tree manure
was apt lied to the trees. Perhaps the
following year some noted authority said
the trees needed potash, so the next
rations issued were potash and bone.
Then some one remarked that a mixture
called ''Swift's Sure" was just the thing
so the next dose distributed was "Swift's
Sure,'' probably followed with cotton
seed meal for dessert, provided no one
in the mean time recommended some
other food This way things continued
up to the freeze, ahd Of the SlOO,OO
lost, over $4,000 went for fertilizers,
and Notwithstanding the care taken and
money spent for high grade fertilizers,
only one grove Of the lot-some twenty
odd in mum ber-ever paid It's owner one
nickle profit. The paying grove of the
lot was not situated on better soil, the
trees were not any older than many OF
the rest, and were planted by woman
who cultivated them in a primitive and
careless way. No chemicals or CONNER
cial fertilizer were used, but the grove
was "cow penned" by cattle that found
a sorry subsistence large portion of
the year on the hard, dry, innutritious
saw grass scattered through the pine
woods. Yet it seems the excreta depos'
tied by the cattle thus fed contained all
the ingredients necessary for the forma-
tion of the trees and fruit. That which

from the chemical compound shops OF
the North at great expense, her cattle
gathered among the scant herbage found
growing in the Florida pine woods. her

grove in the lot. She was never pressed

generally will be benefited by the proper
use of it. The station has used kainit

I'm parts the unpleasant odor of the
skunk to the cigar. The past season
hog pen, used as such for over two
years, was planted, and crop
sufficiently large, though small, was
made to test the truth of this statement.
No such odor has been observed. But
this fact has been demonstrated, viz,
that the hog pen tobacco grew rapidly
and large, and the tobacco made in it
was of the best quality, the cigar made
from it having a rich Havana flavor and
in every way satisfactory. The hog
pen manure is, to say the least of it
good manure for tobacco.
Now, Mr.. Peacock you see--as we
have no reason to doubt such State
ment-the case is not quite as clear as
you thought it was, and unless you ig-
more the statement the question is far
from settled, and if this statement, from
high authority. is not reliable what
reliance can we place on other state
ments made by experiment stations!
You, like many other agricultural
writer's and farmers, who do theoretical
farming thousand or more miles from
home, warn the tobacco farmers Of Flor
ida not to fertilize heavy with stable
manure. If you would tell the farmers
of Florida not to SNOWFALL each other
your advice would amount to just as
much. for. who in the name of Tom
Walker has manure? Did you on your
visit to Florida see mountains OF 1t? Or
what makes you think there should be
much manure in country where the
farmers have scarcely any straw, where
the cattle and hogs run al large the
whole season OF the year, and are mon
archs of all they survey, whose rights
no man dare dispute, where the farmers
have naturally tired feeling, and are
little inclined toward making or saving
manure, and besides are continually dis
courged from making it by just such
men as you.
For fifteen or twenty years this State
has been drained and kept poor, on ac'
count of the money spent for CONNER

so poor that they have neither manure
nor money to buy fertilizers with to do

and he supposed the bandit was close
behind him. But at last when he cost
a glance back he found he was alone.
The bandit had not been able to
mount his horse and escape before the
avalanche caught him, and it had
swept him on down the mountain as
though he had been feather. and bur-
led him hundreds of feet deep in the
gorge.
Frank reached his destination safely
and placed the package Of money in
the mail, but that was OF little conse-

few unimportant letters
twas narrow escape, however, both
for Frank and the money. But for the
avalanche the bandit would have got
the letter, and Frank just cleared the
track of the avalanche in time to save
his life.
Old Peter, when Frank told him of
his adventure, ascribed his escape to
Providence, and while he worried about
the loss of the mail, he was rejolced
that Frank did not suffer the fate of the
robber.
Whether the hand of Providence was
in it or not, certain it is that the ava
lanche came in good season; and equal
ly certain it is that the bandit never
went about the country hunting up the
registered mail that was addressed to
other people "by mistake or other
