While II Is true that light sandy
soil is the best for bright tobacco, it
must not be inferred that poor sandy
soil is desirable. The mineral ma
nures must be supplied literally or the
leaf made will have no substance.
The nature of the minerals supplied
is also of Importance. The potash
should be in the form of sulphate, and
comparatively free of muriates. Muri-
ates, or chlorides seem to affect in
juriously the burning properties of to-
bacco, an important matter with
bright tobacco. The phosphates also
are apt to carry too much useless acid
In order to remove these acids, the
soil should be frequently lined; but,
lime must not be used If the organic
matter is high. In such case the am
monia would be liberated too freely
and the supply of mineral fertilizers
would be apt to be inadequate. In
deed, in this case the lime is used
merely as corrective and is best ap-
piled Immediately after the crop is re-
moved. The potash and phosphate
may also be applied very early to ad-
vantage, as the loss by drainage will
be very slight.
Place no reliance on the natural sup
plies of mineral fertilizers in the soil.
Some plants, notably oats, seem to
have the power of foraging extensively
for potash and phosphates, but tobacco
is particularly helpless in this line. OF
the. total phosphoric acid existing in
the soil naturally, about onc-third is
available for plant food; of the total
potash, about one-twentieth. 1t is inn
portant therefore to keep these min
erals supplied rather more carefully
than in ordinary farming.
The fertilizer recommended by au-
thority conta ms three per cent. ammo
mia, ten percent. potash, and seven per
cent. available phosphoric acid. OF
this not less than 900 pounds should
be used PER- acre. If there is much
humus in the soil, lower the ammonia
to one'per cent. The manuring as di-
rected in this article is necessary on
the soil described as best for bright to-
bacco, but no form of manuring will
produce bright tobacco on n heavy
clay soil, or one very rich in organic
matters. Peacock, in Farmers Home

An DIV Stream.

Near Franklin, Pa, is q sluggish
itream which presents the novelty on
its surface of hundreds of bubbles glis-
tening like iridescent glass, some float
ing on the water, others soaring away
above the treetops like gorgeous toy bal
looms. The explanation of the phenom-
cnon was discovered after considerable
search. A gas line and an oil line pass
under the run Mt this point, and in each
was small leak. The oil spread a film
over the water, which was inflated here
ind there by the gas until they formed
bubbles. The fact that the bubbles were
full of gas caused them 10 ascend more
swiftly, and the film of oil made them
Unusually colored and tough. The
strength of the bubbles may be mag
ined from the fact that small twigs
and leaves, floating on the surface Of
the water, are frequently carried up ir
the larger bubbles.--Golden Days.

Farming and Truck KnIsing.

An old farmer once assured me that
he got rich by making it rule to bring
away from town more money than he
took to it, and as he was not man OF
brilliant intellect it follows that any
reader of the Farmers Voice should be
able to do as well as he did. This man
always had a large truck patch, a great
flock of chickens, and kept seven or
eight cows, all ON 90 acres of land-a
pretty good-sized farm in the section in
which he lived. lie had plenty of
vegetables of all kinds, berries and
fruits in profusIon for his own family
and some to spare. His surplus was all
sold in town of less than 800 people,
and the demand for what he had to sell
was always equal to the supply, for
what he offered was fresh and first
class.
A great many men think it below
their dignity TO deal in such small
things, but it is the way 10 prosperity
and comfort and this man was as high
ly respected, and his sons and daugh-
ters were given as good an education
as the best schools could afford, and to-
day hold high positions in their social
world, every one of them having a COM
Portable home, and all is traceable to
the thrift of their father Too many
farmers do not stop to consider that it
is better to sell their surplus of "truck"
at the wholesale price than to buy
things they could produce ON their own
farms at the retail price.
The farmer who does not have an or
chard and berries and grapes in plen-
ty, and good, large garden, is not
living up to his privileges, and is losing
most of the benefits that may be de-
rived from life in the country
Farmers Voice.

STABLE MANURE.


OF.
1t Is the common practice of farmers
to throw manures of all kinds into
heaps and allow them to stand until
they are hauled to the field. Now, al.
most every farmer knows that stable
manure when left untreated will be-
come heated and go through a certain
process of fermentation, during which
some gaseous or volatile matter escapes;
they may have noticed. also, that the
use of this manure, after ii is fired
fanged," does not produce as good a
yield as fresh manure. The reason for
this is, that when manure becomes
heated one of the valuable fertilizer in
gradients, ammonia, escapes into the
air and is lost; this, of course, detracts
considerable from the fertilizing value
of the manure.
Stable manure has been and always
will be popular fertilizer. Those who
have used it continually, however, have
doubtless noticed that stable manure
alone produces an excessive growth of
foliage and vines at the expense of
fruit and grain. This is due to the fact
that stable manure in not a well-bal-
anced fertilizer; it contains too much
ammonia as compared with the phos-
phoric acid and potash. The action Of
the ammonia is to increase the growth
of foliage, hence it is apparent that If
some potash and phosphate are applied
in addition to the stable manure it
will make much better balanced fer
tilizer.
1t has been found recently that by
sprinkling handful of kainit over the
manure of each grown horse or cow
daily it will prevent the escape of am
monia. This is very good plan also,
because the kainit adds some potash to
the manure, in which it is usually
deficient. A very popular and profta.
Die plan with many farmers is to pre-
serve their stable manure through the
use of kainit, and they find that where
about 200 pounds of kainit per acre
and 200 pounds acid phosphate are
used, in addition to liberal dose of
stable manure, they get much larger
and better returns from their Soils

TOBACCO CULTURE.
The Soil Best Adapted for Raising Brlgh
Tobacco.

The SOIL Best Adapted Tor Raising Bright
Tobacco.
The authorities agree that a soil
favorable for bright tobacco is very
different from a heavy tobacco soil,
and that soil of the latter description
can not give good light tobacco. A
bright tobacco soil contanes very little
clay and a large amount of sand. The
organic matter is very low, less than
one-tenth of what is necessary for a
good heavy tobacco soil.
1t is impossible to state exactly the
reasons for these differences in soil ac-
ton. One of the principal points is
that too free supply of moisture is
prejudicial to good bright tobacco, and
light sandy soil does not hold water
as strongly as @ clay soil. The danger
with bright tobacco is too liberal
supply of ammonia, as the least ten
dency to rankness has serious effect
on the quality.
Though the ammonia must be guard
ed carefully the mineral fertilizers are
apt to be deficient In soil of this
type the mineral fertilizers potash
and phosphates-are apt TO be in
very slightly available forms, while
the ammonia is quickly made useful
1t must be remembered that the tobac.
co plant has very limited power Of

varius In Alaska.
At the Cornet mine, on Berner's bay,
IS miles northeast of Juneau, Alaska, in
probably as bleak and wild o spot as
can be found on this continent, can be
heard on the long winter nights strains
of harmony that have been lauded
through the civilized world.
y traveler who has just returned says:
Zone evening, us was approaching
the Cornet mine, / heard one playing
violin, and though l had heard what
have been termed the greatest masters
of both hemispheres, must say that
such sounds as came from the unseen
player had never heard equaled.
."When reached the camp was vel
coined by the superintendent, Mr.. Willis
T.. NOVEL;, and after hearty supper
asked him who was performing so beau
tifully on the violin as approached the
camp. Mr.. NOVEL; said: I was the
player, though your praise of my play
ing rather embarrasses me- When
questioned the gentleman regarding his
instruments, he said the one he was
playing was Stradivarius, named
Eliza for which he paid $4,000, but he
also had the Nero which cost him s5,-
600.
~ discovered in further conversa
ton with the gentleman that he was an
ex-professor of the Boston conservatory
Of music, and that previous to his COM
ing to Alaska he had performed on the
same instrument that nightly gave
forth it's melodious tones in that bleak
region, in nearly every place in Europe.
"Mr. NOVEL; has been at the mine
about three years, and says the solitude
often inspires him to themes that all
the grandeur Of civilization could not
bring forth. Mr.. NOVEL; told me that
from child he had love for the violin
that gradually grew on him so that by
the time lie was 12 years old he had
sufficiently mastered that instrument
as TO make his professional debut.
"Mr. NOVEL; will probably stay at the
mine a couple of years more, as he has
an interest in the mine, and as it is very
rich, as high as $4,000 having been
taken out of pockets in three days
When asked II he would sell either OF
