There is perhaps no more beautiful
struggle to contemplate after making
two blades of grass grow where only
ONE grew before, than causing the fin
est of clover to grow where previously
nothing would grow but wild golden
rod and dogfennel, and in a State too,
where most of the people believe that
clover cannot be successfully grown.

The Southern Exposition in New
York.

Extraordinary preparations are being
made by the promoters of the South
ern Exposition which will be held at
the Grand Central Palce in New York
City, Oct. 31st, to Nov. 25, 1899.
This is the first opportunity that an
exhibition of the products, resources
and industries that Of the South will
have been made in the great Metrop-
oils and money center of America.
In no better way can the advantages
of the South be shown than by an
exhibition of this kind. 1T should
meet with the encouragement and CO.
operation of the farmer, mechanic,
banker, manufacturer, and more es
pecially the women and young men Of
every state in the South.
An OrganiZa ton should be formed in
each state for the purpose of making
an exhibit of the products and manu-
featuring interests, the educational fa
cili ties and to display any feature
which tends to show the development
of the South
In addition to the exhibition Of In
dustries etc, there will he any num-.
Der of novelties on view day and
night during the exposition.
Among the subjects, are Cotton
Planting Cultivating, Ginning and
Baling. by Southern Negroes, Cooking
by the old Mammies and other inter-
esting attractions. Concerts will be
held daily.
From the assurance Of support re-
ceived from the Governors, Congress-
men and.Offic-als of the various states
as we'll as many other leading men Of
the South there is every indication of
a successful exposition.

Tobacco Topping and Cutting.

Tobacco Topping and Cutting.
A correspondent writes as follows:
Il am raising my first small crop of
Sumatra tobacco, some of which is in
bloom now. Should | top it, or any
part of it? 2nd. How long after
blooming may l expect to find any
ripe leaves? 3d. What are the signs
of ripeness; can you tell me so l will
know? 4th. Do 1 cut the stalk finally
and hang as the VueIta Abajo, or must
l gather leaf by leaf? 5th. How many
leaves should go on four foot string?
9th. Are the torn and worm eaten
leaves worth anything for filler?"
AS one of the difficulties of the be-
ginner is the telling when to harvest
a tobacco crop this letter and reply
may interest some beginner, or con-
templated beginner 40 tobacco culture.
First If you are growing the t0bac
co for market 10y all means top lt;. q
leaf under ten inches will not be in
much demand. Therefore, pinch out
the upper small leaves, top them out.
Some manufacturers of small cigars
can use an eight inch wrapper, but so
far as l am advised they are not in
much demand On the other hand, if
you are raising a small crop for your
own use save it all; the small leaves
make as good, if not better filler,
than the large leaves. In any event,
pinch out the bloom bud aus soon as it
developes. Save the plants with the
widest and thinnest leaves for seed.
Second and Third. Look at your or
your neighbor's corn patch. At this
season you will find dead ripe leaves
near the ground. ALI plants begin to
ripen below. This process of ripening
from below continues until the whole
stalk is dead-ripe. The lower leaves,
after performing their Office in the
plants economy, return their surplus
nOurishment to the stalk to be carried
up ito the new growing parts, to be
consumed in the production of seed
grain, or returned to the soil. The
same process goes on with tobacco
the leaves ripen from below. LIN to-
bacco we do not want the substance
of the leaves to return to the stalk.
Therefore, when the lower leaves be-
gin to change color from the rank
green to a lighter shade, with faint
yellow spots appearing here and there
we harvest it SO that the substances
cannot be carried back to the ground,
g, ne to new growing parts, because as
soon as the plant is cut it begins ito die
and the substances that are in the
leaves are retained there. We adopt
the same principle in making hay, or
fodder out of oats, we curt them soon
after blooming to retain the nOurishing
matters throughout the forage.

dozen leaves natures all over nearly

long before the upper ones. Those
lower leaves should be primed as they
to 40 leaves to-, string which is fas-
tened to four foot lath or pole, with
slit sawed in each end, and hung in
the barn.
For stringing tobacco needles are
readily made from round umbrella
ribs, the holes in each end of the rib
answering for eyes; they can be cut to
any desired length and sharpened on
grind-stone or with a file, and the ja
paning rubbed off with piece of
brick, scythe rock or sand-paper.
am harvesting my tobacco now;
got into rush last week and spearing
the stalks was too slow; now 1 take a
six or q ht penny wire nail break off,
stick the nail where the leaf was brok-
EN- off, and hang the stalk up on the
lath 10y the nail; hang it the same
way on ropes in the whiting process;
you will find this method very speedy,
and it has the advantage that you can
take out or add stalks to a lath as the
curing proceeds and thus economize
space with minimum of color.
Fourth. You can suit your own con-
venience or ideas about cutting the
stalk finally; the last eight or ten
leaves will mature about the same
time and you can cut the stalk entire,
or in sections or prime the leaves. My
experience is that tobacco cut entire
cures up lighter than when primed,
provided the maturity is the same.
Therefore, in priming allow the leaves
to mature a little further than when
the stalk is cut entire if you want a
light tobacco; for dark tobacco prime
the leaves earlier than for light tobac-
co. Tobacco that is primed or cut be-
fore maturity will show the green in.

and the light.

on the size of the leaves; for ordinary
leaves say thirty leaves to a string.

HOW THOUGHT TRAVELS.

Some interesting experiments have
been made recently by professors of
Columbia university to determine the
time required for thought to travel from
the brain to the tip of the finger in
piano playing In this connection II is
of equal interest to know that the time
required for the transmission of the
force Of the blow upon the key of the
instrument to the point of contact of
hammer and string is about the same
as that Of thought from brain to finger
tip
When note is struck on an upright
piano there are brought into play some
thing like fifty separate parts Of action,
and this mechanism must be so deli
cately constructed that it Will respond
as quickly as the brain. nerves and
muscles OF the human body; otherwise
a perfect rendering Of any music would
be impossible
Competent judges say that these
points have received the most careful
consideration in the KimbaI piano, and
the action is SO constructed as TO pro-
duce a plant, easy and responsive
touch. combined with great precision
and power of repetition
