How to Light a Cigar.

Not one man in ten knows how to
light his cigar properly, or so as to ob-
tain the best results. Fire is necessary,
of course, but precious little of it lights
a cigar. One man goes at it with sue
tion-pump sort of struggle, as though
he were determined to suck all of the
gas in the pipe through his cigar and
was in hurry to accomplish the job.
He deliberately holds his cigar in the
fame, and puffs away for dear life until
third of it is burned up and the rest of
it is unfit for smoking purposes.
There is difference between burning
a cigar and smoking it. Overheat ci-
gar, or coal up the tobacco, and you will
have a rank tasting, badly burning cigar,
unfit to smoke, no matter how good the
tobacco is; or how welI-made the cigar
may be. A spark or single touch of
flame will light small tuck cigar thor
oughly and we'll Don't puff away like
steam engine. and then let the fire 60
out. A cigar will never taste good after
First light it, let it cool
little, then keep it SO; smoke regularly,
mildly and moderately, and you will have
a cool, sweet smoke to the finish. A lit
tie art and common sense will make a
good five-cent cigar taste better than a
Havana improperly treated.

monia is In any more injurious form to
|eigar leaf when derived from nitrates
than it is from cottonseed meal or stable

keep up the fertility of the soil and that
certain elements must be used, as tobac-
co demands large quantity of potash as
we'll as modicum of lime, and all as
sisted by good supply of nitrogen and
pnosphoric acids To obtain these ele-
ments we have to resort to the use of

| had friend living in Deerfeld who
owned some four Or five acres. Of this
he planted two acres of tobacco and only
using cottonseed meal and ashes. For
seventeen years he kept the same two
acres in tobacco and his crop was always
the first one sold and he obtained some
two cents pound more for it than any
of his neighbors My estimate of your
large packer is that he is crank and
thinks he knows all about the tobacco
crop. Only few years ago one of the
same ilk wrote considerable about the
use Of "pine needles" for fertilizer, and
others have theorized about it's produc-
ton. So its first appearance is always
preceded by their own notions of the ne
cessity of a change, or suffer the conse-
qaence of deterioration of the quality of
the leaf. Cranks will be in existence
after your large packer passes in his
checks. | value your paper highly, and

we have never grown as good tobacco as
we are now doing.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES.

A bulletin has been prepared by the
bureau of insular affairs of the u. s. war
department, showing the commerce of
the Philippine islands since the records
first passed into the hands of the
American military forces in July, 1898.
It is thus possible, for the first time
since the islands were taken over, to
learn the exact exports of the islands by
months, since July, 1898. From the bull
letin, it would seem that the concern
with which the development of tobacco
growing in the Philippines has been
watched in the y. S. is fully justified by
the high hopes Manila customs officials
express with regard to the future of the
trade According to the bulletin, the
tobacco trade in the islands is capable
of great improvement. The Philippines,
on account of the excellence and cheap
ness of it's p, oducts, can compete in this
industry with more advanced countries.
Since the abolition of the monopoly, the
growing of Philippine tobacco has IN
creased in an extraordinary degree, both
in the quantity and quality of its pro-
ducts. Many growers in the islands use
modern machinery. While the exports
to the u. S. so far have been small, it is
believed they will soon be increased. Up
to June, 1902, the share of the Q. S. in
the Philippine tobacco trade never ex
ceeded $4,000 in any half-yearly period.
In June 1902, the total was $4,000, and
in the ensuing July this figure was near
ly doubled as the trade amounted to
S15,500. The aggregate for the year was
$4,000. The increase in the shipments
to this country is considered to have
been largely due to the reduction of 25
per cent in the tariff, which took effect
about a year ago.-American Agricul-
turist.

Although no very large transactions
have been recorded, the aggregate
amount of sales is very fair for this sea-
son, and the trade has little cause for
complaint. The 1901 and the 1902 crops
have all the fun to themselves, being the
only ones of which there are any consid-
erable amount of goods still on hand,

now thing OF the past, and every ybody
is glad that the crop is moving at last.
The sales that have been reported to US
are as follows: Isaac Stirk & Go. sold 40
cases Of 1901 goods: Keller Bros. sold ITO
cases to city firm, of the 1902 crop; l.
FL. Weaver sold 250cs of 1901 and 1902
goods, and bought 3O0cs of Zimmer's'
Spanish; B. F. Good & Co. sold 150cs of
1901 and 1902 goods, and A. III. Hershey
bought 2O0cs of the 1902 crop; in all,
,11Ocs. For the corresponding week Of
last year the sales were 429cs. E,r...
The past week has, on the whole, been
favorable to the growing crop. There
have been number of showers in vari-
Gus parts of the county, several of which
carried hail, but it was too small to do
any harm. But the frequent rains are
not doing the growing crop good only.
We are advised that in some localities
the plants are becoming foxy" which
bodies no good. A spell of sunshine
would soon put an end to that.

The market remains quiet, few sales
having been reported during the past
few days. The interest is mainly cen
tered in the growing crop which the
growers believe will be large one.
Cayuga county The tobacco grown
last year was of good quality, but prices
paid were so low, averaging from 81 to
s cents per pound, many growers have
become discouraged. Only about half
as much tobacco has been set out this
year near Conquest as was set out last
year. At Martville there will be de-
crease of about 30 per cent in the acre
age.-Gazette

From opinions rendered by several
careful observers who are materially in
terested in the growth and handling of
tobacco, the effects of last weeks storm
are not nearly as serious as was at first
reported. In many localities where
flooded fields gave but little promise, the
plants have recovered from the shock
and with favorable conditions from now
on will yield nearly an average crop. Of
course there were a very few fields
which were practically destroyed. The
storm on Wednesday of this week was
quite severe and in portions of Dane
county considerable damage was DONE
In Pleasant Springs the path of the
storm was about mile wide and tobacco
was badly fattened out, but will prob
ably recover enough so that the loss will
be only partial one.
The very early set plants have advanc-
ed rapidly toward maturity and topping
is quite general among this class. There
is reported to be a general tendency
to rust where the fields have advanced
to the budding stage, and the bottom
leaves are turning to yellow color.
The medium or middle set fields, said
one man who has ridden far and wide,
will yield far above the average if moth
ing overtakes it from now until shedding
time, and there is every promise of this
turning out one of the best crops this
country has produced for some years.
The shipments out of storage are 445
cases from this market to all points for
the past week.

The market is apparently in its mid
summer vacation. Whatever business
transpires is for immediate consumption,
and those factories that are short of
stock have to hustle very lively to get
any supply. There are no bargains in
the market and prices for all types of
leaf show a tendency to advance. The
domestic wrapper leaf market has not
become easier on account of the reported
damage by the hail storm visiting this
week a part of the Connecticut tobacco
growing region. Ii, in addition to last
years poor and defective crop, this years
growth has been damaged to any large
extent, the domestic wrapper leaf ques-
tion would indeed become sore one.

It is too bad to brand as fake that
interesting story of the government TAX
ing up the investigation of the use of to-
bacco and it's effects upon humankind,
but Prof. Wiley, chief of the bureau of
chemistry of the department of agricul-
ture, says he has been much annoyed at
the publication of unauthorized and
wholly erroneous statements concerning
which it has been alleged
he is about to make into the question of
the effect of the use of tobacco on the
human digestive apparatus, and the
harmfulness of various havoring solu-
tions said to be used in the manufacture
of cigars, cigarettes, tobacco. etc. AS all
these statements are utterly baseless,
Prof. Wiley said: "These publications
are simply tissue of falsehood evolved
by some imaginative person from pecu
liarly constructed brain. The depart
ment of agriculture has at no time con-
templated any such investigation with
regard to tobacco. and has neither the
authority nor fGnds to carry on such an
inquiry should it be deemed desirable,
which it is not. The last annual appro-
priation bill set aside certain sum of
money to enable the secretary of agri-
culture to Investigate the character of
food preservatives, coloring matters and
other substances added to foods, to de-
termine their relation to digestion and
to health, and to establish the principles
which should guide their use.' AS will
be seen, this investigation relates solely
to food products, and has nothing to do
whatever with tobacco in any way, shape
or form"

Another week of good growing wealth
er bas given the tobacco a good start
toward maturity and topping has com
menced in limited way in the earliest
set fields. This is about week behind
some seasons, but it is the best we can
do this year. Most of the tobacco is Of
uniform growth and looks healthy and
strong, giving promise Of good crop at
harvest time. So far the elements have
been favorable and there has been no
damage by hail or severe winds, neither
have the grasshoppers or green worms
been either plentiful or voracious.
The hot weather of the past few weeks
has given the crop of 02 good sweat
and it now gives some indication of
what it will be later on. AS far as the
packers Of this market have been able to
determine the damage in the case will
be so slight as to be unworthy of con-
slderation. Nearly every warehouse has
touch Of it, but the actual loss is SO
little as to be a matter of congratula-
ton. The tobacco will produce some
very desirable binders.
Those who have 'O1 are very much
pleased with the manner in which it is
passing through the second sweat. It is
as sweet as peach and rich as nut,
and will make very good seller later on.
The sales of cased goods are very linn
tied and confined mostly to small lots to
manufacturers. L. B. Carle & Son have
purchased about 200cs 01 at Brodhead,
Evansville and Eau Claire county. Their
sales have about kept pace with their
purchases.

A full text of the judgment rendered
by Englands Chief Justice against Og
Tobacco Co., holding it to it's RESPONSE
bility for fulfilling it's four-million dollar
bonus contract with it's retail customers
in spite of having transferred it's bust
ness to the Imperial and British Ameri-
can Tobacco companies. The essential
thing of this authoritative judgment, as
the London Economist points out, is
that lavish contracts recklessly entered
into in the stress of trade fight cannot
be repudiated at will" This may serve
as lesson also for this country.

vana situation is likewise a difficult one.
Never before in the history of the trade
have such early visits been made by
buyers to Cuba as this year and never
before has the new crop of Vueltas been
gobbled up so early as this season. 1t is
calculated that by September the mar
ket in Cuba will be cleaned out, while in
former years buyers from the North did
not venture down before November
