TOBACCO IS aEIssIsG KING.
Large Deliveries at Warehouses and Shipment
Outside Packing Pei-A ,n,

sleighing of the past few taes -ss mad
the effect to bring great quantities OF
tobacco to all packing points in this
section, and we psesume that very
large percent of the goods that have
been placed in the bundle is now mar
keted. Probably one third of the acre
| age of this section still hangs on the
poles, and farmers are waiting patiently
for case weather. There have been
shipped from Viroqua station during
the past week to outside packing points
thirty carloads of bundle goods.
Tobacco Reporter. We overheard
tobacco reporter say the other day.
That after all the dockage and shrink
age the growers have been subjected to
this season, on account of damage.
the farmers were realizing about as
much net cash for their crops as they
usually receive, and were pocketing
about as much pros a. they expected
when the crop was growing. There
was quite genef al talk about the time
the buyers were making their early
contracts that the growers were getting
a cent pound more than they expected
and now after delivery they find them
selves just about where they stuck their
first stakes. This may all be so, but
there are a good many growers who
think they have been unfairly treated
in the settlements, and it will take some
years we imagine, TO eradicate this idea.
One thing seems certain, it will not be
as easy buying in fields another season.
Farmers will be pretty shy about put
ting their names TO contracts for future
delivery for some time to come. IL will
be good thing for all concerned If they
stick to that determination.
Packers who have taken the trouble
to figure up the items that enter into
the cost of putting up packing of to-
bacco are somewhat surprised to find
that the expenses of packing the present
crop of this state are larger than for
several years past. The extra labor re-
quired to take out the damaged portions
adds materially TO the cost of asserting.
In order TO get good work done in the
asserting many of the packers employ
| labor by the day lstead of the pound
as heretofore. The general s,sle of
wages is somewhat higher than other
years while the additional cost OF ce ses
ali help to bring the total expenses at
| figures considerably in excess of former
seasons Some packers estimate that
| the cost including the shrinkage, insur-
ance, and all the items usually charged
against the cost of packing, will just
about amount to so per box. In other
words, in addition to the first cost of the
tobacco, an expense of $40 per case must
be added as packing charges as a part

KEY TO SUCCESS.

The question is often asked, what is
the necessary faculty for success in bust
ness We see men around us succeeding
in almost whatever they touch and
others fail with the same start, the same
backing, the same opportunities. and
apparently the same mental equipment,
and we put 1T down TO a difference OF
business ability, but do not analyze the
causes any further than to ask she ques-
| ton, what is it,
Judging from careful ohservas;on Of
the men who have been successful in
whatever line OF business or profession
they have entered. 1t can be said that
the chief requisites 30 success above MS
ual qualifications are faith In ones self,
the courage TO act on that faith, and to
risk loss or failure, and a quick percep-
ton of the Inside truth and relation of
situations as they present themselves.
The man who has not faith in himself,
in his knowledge and his abilities, is
vacillating and unable to stand the tests
of situation; If he has not the courage
| to risk loss or failure he has not the
| requisite quality TO meet success with q
| wol thy spirit, and IL he has not quick
perception of the truth of situation
be cannot grasp it at the right end and
| treat it TO his purposes.
This is true of all men of the world
who have been successful The fnan-
cier who risks his money in deals of va
rious kinds; the manufacturer who in.
vests his money n confidence Of drawing
trade for his goods; the merchant who
buys a stock and places 1t before the
people. the soldier who pitts his abilities.
as in game of chess, with an adversary
and places his life as forfeit, all &c
into the action with faith In themselves,
with an ability TO face success or defeat
with quick perception of the truth OF
a situation as 1t presents itseL and on
that faith they win or loss. Faith,
courage and knowledge are the axioms
of success. Milwaukee Journal

The Way TO Keep the Cellar Clean end
Free From Sad Smells.

Quicklime, borax, charcoal, dry
copperas and plaster are the things
TO make and keep cellar sweet and
fresh Move out all things movable,
sweep, take up dust, open bins and
closets and set doors and windows
wide. Then in every bin or in
closed space set an earthen vessel,
dish or bowl with several Jumps of
quicklime in it. Strew grains Of
dry copperas all over the lime, then
slack it, but do not wet it, vet be
sure the Stacking is thorough.
Steam from the lime, rising up and
out, will take away all bad air and
i'll odors.
Leave the cellar open and empty
for two hours, then scatter dry pow
dered borax all around in corners
and along the walls, and wherever
there is a place where it viii not be
in the way hang a piece of net, such
as fish net, with some Jumps Of fresh
charcoal tied inside. Leave the
borax until next cleaning time. Take
the charcoal bags down every week,
empty them, heat the charcoal very
hot, return to the Bugs and replace
them. The charcoal has a marvel
Gus power TO absorb all sorts Of bad
smells. The power is strictly pro-
portioned TO its freshness, which the
heating restores.
Make cheesecloth pads Of plaster,
mixed with powdered Stacked lime,
and hang them against the walls
that are likeliest TO be damp. Lime
and plaster are so thirsty they take
all the spare water TO themselves,
thereby preventing must and mold.
a good way 70 make the pads is to
stitch or run inch tucks in a length
of cheeseoloth or coarse lawn, then
slip q funnel spout into the open
end Of the tuck and pour in the plas-
ter and lime. Make the tucks an
inch apart and ill them evenly.
Powdered charcoal may be mixed
with the lime and plaster for pads
which are 10 hang whore foodstulrs
