have not been remunerstive. The heavy

and very few have since then been in a

shortly after the storm and put in kilns,

them. Many farmers have lost from
fifty to three hundred barrels, and the
aggregate loss in the county is at least

The Flavor of Tobacco.

Researches Of DR.. Suensland are
said to have shown that the flavor Of
tobacco is produced by the action of
microbes during the curing process
This Gern an scientist has found that
the flavor of Virginia tobacco is pro-
duced by a microbe peculiar to Vir-
2inia, and that the sweet SAVIOR of
Havana cigars is the work OF a patri-
from fermenting Havana leaf. he in
troduced them into heap of German
tobacco, which thereupon assumed all
the properties of genuine Havana. In
versely the German microbe leavened
Cuban-grown leaf into the similtude of
tobacco grown in the fatherland.
