Tobacco.

The American Magazine for March
contains a handsomely illustrated ar
ticle entitled Clear Havanas, being a
comparison between Florida and Gu
ban tobacco and cigars. We extract
the following paragraphs:
The hornworm, the budworm, the
suckfy. the leafminer and the grass
hopper are the chief enemies Of the
leaf in Florida. The hornwOrm devours
the entire leaf with the unquestiOning
appetite of the Western tobacco chew
err. The suckfiy like the refined gem
tleman who takes a small pinch Of
fine-cut sits by the chimney corner,
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1899-04-12

fastidiously sucks out the sapcells. The
leafminer, still more delicate, neatly
chisels out patches of the leaf tissue
between the epidermus of the upper
and lower surface of the leaves. The
grasshOpper is filthy fellow, who
wantonly chews tobacco and loosely
expectorates when pinched. But the
most destructive OF all is the bud
worm, which has a sneaking fondness
for taking Quid behind the door, con-
cealed deep down in the bud, where a
puncture no larger than pinhead will
increase with the growth of the leaf,
making a hole which ruins it for a
wrapper.
The growers Of chewing tobacco i'm
Kentucky and Ohio have been much
alarmed at the idea of using paris
green as an insecticide. But Professor
Fl. Garman of the Kentucky Expert
ment Station showed that there re-
manned less than the tenth part of a
grain (Os22) Of arsenious oxide in a
pound of tobacco, which would be
quite harmless. And on smoking to-
bacco the danger of poisoning is in
finitesimal.
The American remedy, therefore, is
the paris green blowgun, while the Gu
BANS is hand picking and prayers to
San Marcial.
The Cuban veguero builds his barn
so wide that when it is filled with
green and succulent tobacco, fresh
from the field, the poles in the center
of the barn have to be carried out i'm
the middle Of the day and summed to
prevent molding and pole-burn. The
Americans avoid this by making their
barns narrower in proportion to their
length. It may be noted, however that
ESpin, Government expert for Trini-
dad, gives as a rule for Cuban tobac-
co barn, for the breadth take one-half
the length, minus one unit of measure
In fermenting, or betuning, the Gu.
ban uses odious liquids which impart
to the tobacco an execrable odor. The
American uses only the infusion of old
tobacco, with sour wine added some
times, and derives his ammonia, when
that favoring is needed, from respecta-
BILE sources.
In grading the leaves, the Cuban is
exceedingly precise and accurate, but
he does it by a clumsy ''rule OF
thumb" which he inherited from
twenty generations Of ancestors. The
American primes his crop; that is,
gathers it leaf at a time from the
standing plant, and is thus able to
grade it completely from the ragged
ground leaf to the choicest at the top
the finest sound leaves passing for
wrappers, the punctured ones for fill
ers. The Cuban grades all into desc
cho, Or first; desechito, or second; lib
ra, or third; and injuriado.
These upper grades apply equally to
capa, or wrapper, and tripa, or filler.

milking strains of Shorthorns have for
years been the standard dairy cows.
But even there the diminutive Kerry
cows have become quite popular and
are seen on many gentlemen's places.
But it is by no means indispensable
that the family COW should be pure
bred. This does not mean that she
may be a scrub, but some of the best
of them are grades out of native cows,
sired by pure bred bulls of high indi-
vidual excellence. Such cow is not
eligible to- registry in any herd book,
but inherit good blood from the pa
ternal side and from both parents a
sound constitution and capacity for a
large yield of rich milk. Scrub cows
are improbable stock everywhere, but
especially for family use, for it costs
more to keep a cow in the village than
on the farm. Above all, if cow is to

a pace as to keep the heavy uddered
cow on a trot all the way home. The
other COW has good usage in summer,
