A Rathbone sister, of Michigan
City, walked into a store the 9th er
day and wanted to see some goods,
which happened to be in the rear of
the building. With head erect and
bow legs wabbling, the polite clerk
started ahead of her saying: "Walk
this way, lady" She started, hesi-
tated, and with flashing eyes ex-
claimed: "You cenfeunded little bow
legged demon, if l was . man I'd
teach you better manners .han to ask
any one, and especially q lady. to
walk as you do."-The Guest.

Business has commenced to contract
very materially in the tobacco markets
of this state. The '99 crop is now quite
thoroughly out of the hands of the grow
ers. Occasional stray lots are still being
bought at former quotations, but the in
dication is that the buying is about over.
One or two more of the warehouses
have finished their work for the season
and closed down. Others have bundle
leaf in sight for several weeks yet.
The shipments from this station reach
a total of 1000 cases, or 20 cars for the
week. Ito all points. Receipts from out
side points were 20 cars. Since last re-
port 1700cs of cigar leaf were exported
from New York.

Ii there is any change in the condition
| of the domestic leaf market since oul
last report, it is for the worse. What
little movement there is in goods is slow
and labored. Out-of-town buyers are
decidedly scarce just now, and local
manufacturers and jobbers are discour.
agingly Indifferent. The conditions seem
to prevail throughout the entire domes
tic leaf trade, and scarcely firm is
escaping the slump. Hardly any sales
worth reporting were made.
The temporary lull gives the trade an
opportunity to study future possibilities
and undoubtedly the feature that should
be most carefully considered is that per-
tanning to the filler division.
Although the Pennsylvania Broad leaf
was not particularly desirable filler
crop last year, the thinner Spanish
turned out exceptionally we'll; and, TAX
ing the filler yield of the tobacco grow
ing states as whole, the production was
fully up to, if not above the average crop.
On top of this comes the 1899 goods,
with very good filler crops in Pennsyl-
vania and Ohio, and at least the usual
percentage of filters in other states, all of
which cost the buyer from IL to &c a
pound more than last year. Further, it
is pretty generally believed that the
good prices realized in recent years by
domestic growers will induce them to
plant larger acreage in 1900 than ever
before; and given reasonable season,
this would further glut the market
Again, if the promises Of large crop of
Havana are fulfilled, it will cause more
domestic to be displaced; and besides
this there is the expected admission of
Porto Rico leaf almost exclusively fillers)
to be considered. About the only fea-
ture of the situation which is positively
favorable to the packers of 1899 filters is
the evident increase in cigar consump-
ton. In this lies the hope that the filler
market will not be overcrowded, and
chat packers can realize on their invest
ments despite the high prices paid in the
field. At the best, however, the domes-
tic filler situation will bear considerable
study.

very satisfactory condition, with steady
demand and prices firm

AS rule We can only say that sales of
tobacco are rather scarce, and generally
| at lower prices than were offered last
| fall. Much feeling exists among the
| growers toward the packers who have
| undertaken to throw over the bargains
| they made, even though they bad put.
| up some money to bind the bargains.
| Some are trying to bulldoze the farmer
by demanding return of the money they
had put up as forfeit, and loudly try
ing to frighten them with suits at law.
Some OF these parties who were much in
want OF the funds to purchase the need
ed fertilizers for the coming crop, have
resod at loss, while others have con-
cluded to bring suits for damages. Jt ia
bad business, and such parties will need
to seek other pastures to practice their
nefarious operations in the future. It is
probably true that quite number of
new tobacco barns are to be erected this
season, and number of growers will
enlarge present barns to give an oppor-
tunity for some more land, as we'll as to
give needed room, with view of avoid
ing pole burn.

be greatly missed" Hatfield: "Busi-
ness SO far as selling is concerned is very

ried on briskly 1t is claimed that fully
400 men are engaged in this work. A
large amount of leaf is brought into town

LANCASTER New ERA, March 13, 1900.
There was no particular stir in the
home market during the past week. The
sales were not many, and the inquiries
as few. Some packers have very little
old goods left, and therefore give most of
their time to the new crop, which is now
accommodating on their hands. The fal-,
lowing are the only parties that aEe re-
ported as having sold any goods during
the week: Walter S. Bare sold 90 cases;
Sondheimer & Smith sold 100 cases and.
M. M. Fry sold IT'S cases and bought 100
cases; in all 465 cases. For the carre-
spending week of last year the sales,
were 1O5cs.
The deliveries continue to be- very
liberal at the warehouses, and most Of
the latter are now the scene of much
animation and hustle. The goods are
being packed away very rapidly, and by
the end of the month there will be very
little left unsold or undelivered.

The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1900-03-23

There is no crop grown which varies
SO much in quality, because of the soil
upon which 1t is grown and the fertilizers
used, as tobacco. For a leaf of high
quality for smoking purposes, it is essen
tial that the soil be light and rich in
vegetable matter. A low, rich clayey
soil will produce rank and heavy crop
but will not produce tobacco OF fine
quality
No soil in itself will hold it's fertility.
Nature cannot reclaim it in half the time
man can. If man acts in unison with
nature the reclamation will be rapid.
To do this tillage is first necessary.
Many years ago, Jethro Tull said: "Til-
lage is manure" He was right so far as
he went. But he had learned only half
of his lesson: Tillage is manure, but the
other half of the lesson is, humus must
be kept in the soil.
food into the available form. The great
from the tomato can or the fruit jar and
the fruit and vegetables keep pure and
we'll preserved. Admit the air, and de-
cay and decomposition at once result
So with the soil Admit the air to it
and in it, and decay and decomposition
at once result. What is this decay and
decomposition?- ?-the change of unassim.
liable plant food into the assimilable
form. This is the great Office for the air
in soil. This results from tillage. We
have scarcely begun to realize how i'm
portant tillage is in this respect. But it
is physical improvement, and that is the
greatest thought of our incoming agri-
culture.
Allied with tillage to promote physical
improvement is the growing of clover.
Glover by means of the tubercules that
grow on its roots takes from the air what
is unavailable nitrogen and changes it
into assimilable soil nitrogen. The results
from analysis by Cornell Uni
versity show that over 1900 pounds of
nitrogen were added to the soil by so do
ing. This in a great measure answers
the supplying of this important fertilizer
Where annual husbandry
is followed, a good forage is necessary for
profitable feeding. There is no better
forage for New England farmers than
clover. 1t is almost balanced ration in
itself, and has nearly three times the
feeding value that timothy has. If the
soil is in any state of tilth clover will
grow, and in it's growing it furnishes
nitrogen and a superior forage for all
kinds of live stock.
Now what about the other two impor-
5ant elements, potash and phosphoric !
acid, for plant food? Is there any way
20 get potash and phosphoric acid? Yes,
n commercial form. Neither are ex-
oensive in comparison with nitrogen, and |
Is they cannot be obtained from the air |
