s,..p Among Growing Corn.

II is the practice Of good farmers
now TO cultivate both corn and pOta-
toes much longer than used 10 be
thought advisable The reason Is
that the modern cultivation Is shallow
and does not disturb the roots. But
where a piece of either corn or pota-
toes is weedy few sheep may be put
into the field after midsummer with
no danger whatever tina; they will in
lure the crop. Almost any other stock
will attack both corn and either the
potato tops or roots. Sheep Will not
eat either Uusually only the ram
was put in some time In July. and
was not taken ont until the corn was
ready 10 harvest. After corn Is cut
sheep will attack the corn ears. While
it stands they seldom DO this.

AMERICAN TOBACCO.

There is said to be a growing belief
among American tobacco consumers
| that homegrown tobacco equals the
imported article. Tobacco is grown in
at least a dozen states, Pennsylvania
leading in the amount of production,
while Ohio has $4,000 acres given up
to the culture, and an average crop
of 30,000,000 pounds.
The annual production throughout
the entire country is placed at about
500, 100000 pounds, and during the past
twenty seven years export values and
internal revenues collected have en-
riched the treasury to the amount of
81, 900 600, coo. The seed leaf is grown
principally in the Connecticut valley,
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wisconsin and
Massachusetts,: the bright leaf in Vir-
ginia and the Carolinas: the white
hurley" in Kentucky, Wisconsin and
Illinois, and the shipping leaf in Ken
lucky, Tennessee and Florida.
In Connecticut there is hardly 81
farmer who does not raise tobacco.
The Connecticut leaf is particularly
valuable for wrapping purposes, and
also excels in flavor. In Ohio the
growers say that the total expenses
of their crops average SS5 per acre,
but they find tobacco growing profit
able even at those figures. The seeds
are sown about April l, in beds pre-
pared for the purpose and covered
over with glass or canvas. The plants
are carefully tended, and transplanted
about June l. In dry seasons they
require watering. After the buds have
developed the top of the plant is
nipped off, leaving about twelve or
fourteen leaves. Then the plants
stand from three to four weeks, until
fully matured. Often ten TO twelve
months intervene between the harvest
ing and getting the tobacco ready for |
the market. Good tobacco land in |
Ohio is worth at present from SIS to |
800 per acre.

the blacks are lapsing into their prim-

their naked sires in Africa. The bar
barrie mysticisms of voudou or hoodoo
are rife among them, and civilization
comes not near.
Jehossa island lies just off the South
Carolina coast-one of the chain of is
lands. great and small, which grid the
state from Cape Roman to Tybee
roads.
Before the war ii was the home of
many opulent cotton planters, who
lived luXuriously and dispensed an ele-
CANT and bountiful hospitality. One of
these southern barons, whose manor
was surrounded by illimitable fields Of
long staple cotton, was Governor All

who were Loyalty attached to him, a

During the wal between the states

If girls would live up to the best
principles they know, men would
quickly feel themselves to be in the
presence of superior souls. And those
who felt themselves wanting in prin-
ciple would flee away from such a
presence as the darkness before the
light of day. Women should guard their
associations and choose only the best,
even when being chosen.
Sometimes a girl forgets, in deciding
her lot in life, that she cannot Increase
her own happiness or diminish it with

joy of her family and friends. IN the

father and mother great anxiety.
For habits are such mighty forces in
a young mans life. To be gay is right,
II gayety signifies only cheerfulness
and innocent merry making. But to be
gay with careless lovers of pleasure,
to whose enjoyment liquor and the
gaming table are habitual accessories,
Is quite another phase in life.
And to rush into marriage when a
