ALBANIAN OUTBREAKS.

The attention of newspaper cor
respondents is called to the fact that
Great Britain has a consulate at Sara
jevo, Bosnia, to which they can apply
for protection and advice. From
there southwark they can proceed COM
fcrtably only with the help of Felix
Parcher, Austro-Hungarian civil at
tache (and vice-consuD at Plevije, on
the way through Novibazar to Nitro
vica. Every such correspondent should
have an American passport duly
visaed by a Turkish consul and a GER
LIficate of commercial or professional
character authenticated by both a
Turkish and an Austro-Hungarian con-
sui i'm the United States. The most
direct route from New York to the
scene of the present Albanian out
breaks is by steamer to Fiume, thence
by steamer to Gravosa or Metkovic, by
rail to Sarajevo, by diligence to
Plevije, and on horseback beyond to
Mitrovica. Persons travelling thither
should be able to speak Serbo-Croatian
as wei as German, if they wish to make
themselves understood, as we'll as un-
dertand, without the use of unreliable
interpreters, what is said to them

near the center than in the outer
parts. At the periphery there is a
compact coating or skin about 100 inch
thick. Starting from this, the mass
assumes the character CT an irregular
assemblage of crystals, more or less
coherent, which often fall apart at the
least shock.
AS to the cause of this remarkable
phenomenon, it seems that the salt
which was used to impregnate the plas-
ter must have a kind of crystallogenic
faculty, acting as it does to bring
about the formation of crystals. If
this is so, it is one step toward explain
ing the causes which bring the gypsum

LANCASTER New ERA. Feb. 8, 1904.

LANCASTER New ERA Feb. 8, 1904
There has been no improvement in the
home market for old goods during the
past week Our packers are having
plenty of leisure, and sit around their
office stoves discussing events. past,
presnt and to come, but hopeful that the
near future will bring about a change
for the better. Some to vary the monot
ony of the situation, have even gone out
into the country and have bought 6oz-
en- or more crops Of last years goods,
and then, taking the alarm, have quit,
come home and are thinking it over.
The only dealer we have found who has
been doing anything beyond selling
few lots TO local manufacturers was Mr..
I. H. Weaver, who sold number of
small lots, aggregating 354cs, of which
1O1cs were 1901 crop and Aces Ohio
goods. The sales for the corresponding
week of last year were 1255cs.
More has been done in the new crop
of late A number of packers have gone
out into the country and taken shy at
the 1908 crop, but none of them have
dipped in on large scale. There has
been none Of that promiscuous buying
seen generally, when dealers go from
farm to farm buying everything IN sight
at one fixed price. Instead crops are
examined, and only one now and then
selected. So far, buyers are not crowd
ing each other. We append a few sales
that have come to our notice:

VENTILATION.
Look carefully TO the proper ventila-

the proper curing of the tobacco. and es-
pecially the first two weeks after the to
bacco is hung in the shed. as this is the
crucial test and many good crop of to-
bacco has been ruined for lack of care
full attention when first hung Open
wide the bottom and top ventilators of
the shed and let the air circulate up
under the crop freely. The matter of
curing the crop is sadly neglected by a
large number of growers in the state. and
| wish to emphasize the Importance of
MAXIM this special study: Watch the
condition of the crop from day to day:
see that the symptoms are healthy and
favorable every morning: strive to avoid
the dire calamity of shed burn and pole
rot. Some seasons this requires great
skill and knowledge. as Wisconsin wealth
err is liable to be treacherous and disap-
pointing. There is also danger of too
rapid drying of the crop during the cur
ing process After the first three weeks
tobacco should cure slowly and have
time to absorb all the ingredients Of the
stock. Growers should realize the great
Importance of proper ventilation and use
every precaution in controlling the at
mosphere in the shed.
To successfully raise, cure and market
cigar leaf tobacco of the finest quality is
therefore business of great care, and
involves attention in every detail of
management at the different stages. The
Importance Of attention to these details
is of greater consequence in this crop
than in any other grown. To success
fully grow the crop in the first place is
difficult matter; to cure it properly is of
almost equal Importance. A thorough
knowledge of every phase of culture and
curing is essential to success. and it is
difficult to say that one is of more i'm
portance than the other, but if such a
comparison were made. the preference
would be given to culture, for although
finely grown crop may be injured by
careless curing. no skill in curing can
make frst-cl product of poorly
grown crop.
