sci bought 2S0cs of 1908 goods; J. w.
Brenneman sold 35cs. We have heard
that large city dealer purchased sew
eral country packings, but we have not
learned the number of cases. In all, $50
cases.
Planting of the new crop has been
going on all over the county. The very
dry weather and the cool nights have
not been favorable to the plants set out,
and they have made very little progress.
In addition. the cut worms are said to be
unusually numerous, which is also
drawback that must be taken into con-
sideration. One farmer who carefully
measured all the worms he found on a
half-acre of tobacco had a full quart.
Some fields have been SO badly eaten
that their owners have narrowed them
over, and will reset them afresh. Warm
er weather, with rains, is much needed.

Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market.

The tobacco season has opened in good
earnest. Box after box of plants are be-
ing transported from the beds to the
fields to be there transplanted into their
new conditions. And such conditions as
they have had to undergo! First the
cold drying winds, then the hot sun of
the midday and lastly the three frosts.
Many of the fields have had to be rehar-
rowed and reset Some must be twice
set, and there are some that must be set
the third time. 1t was lucky strike
when those who set early had plenty of
plants to reset with. Loads and more
loads of water are being drawn to supply
dry that an abundance of water is re-
quired to make the plants live.
Most of the large growers are busy
from one-half to .hree-fourths through.
One trouble has been that the weather
has been cold and windy and the farm
ers have kept the glass on their beds, SO
that the plants, not having been much
exposed to the open air, are too soft and
tender. When set in the open field and
subjected to the wind and sun, there is
not strength to them to withstand the
wind and the heat of midday and the
cold OF night. AS have before stated,
it is we'll to remove the glass protection
and allow the air to come to them. The
exposure toughens the leaf, and such
plants will stand the hardship of trans
planting much better than those that
have been protected and forced under
the glass or cloth cover. With the glass
removed, excessive. leaf growth of the
plant will be checked and more gener-
Gus root growth will result.-Cu Cultivator.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN WIs June q l9(

The buying movement is dwindling so
that scattering transactions embrace
most of the business being done in local
markets. But few buyers are yet in the
field, while the growers are extremely
busy preparing for the new crop soon to
be set in the fields.
There is inquiry for old stock but sales
are largely of the cheaper grades Good
binder stock is in demand, though the
supply with local packers is none too
large. A. Wallach of Chicago, has pur-
chased hundred cases or such matter
from local packers during the week.
The weather of the week has improv-
ed the prospects of the new crop by
bringing along the plant beds so that
transplanting can now go forward as
rapidly as the fields are prepared to re-
ceive them. This work we'll be we'll un-
der way in all sections the coming week.
The shipments out of storage do not
exceed 30Ocs from this market to all
points for the week past.

NEW YORK, May 81, 1905.

Taken far and wide, the situation in
regard to the domestic leaf market shows
considerable improvement this week, and
particularly so in demand. Of all the
old stocks which are now on hand, the
only types of tobacco of which there is
sufficient quantity in the market to en-
title them to consideration are the 1908
thinner Spanish and the 1901 Wisconsin
Havana Seed BIS. These two are re-
quired chiefly for filler purposes The
Pennsylvania Broad leaf crop of any
year is minus quantity as far as the
leaf market is concerned. For binders
the 1903 Wisconsin Havana Seed and
1908 Connecticut Broad leaf are the only
stocks of which there is visible supply.
Sumatra.-The new Sumatra tobacco
that has arrived in this country and has
been inspected is meeting with greater
favor than was at first anticipated, and
some large transactions have already
taken place and other transactions are
now in the process of negotiation. The
later importations show much ripper
and sounder grade of tobacco than the
first reports justified one in expecting.
Quite some old Sumatra has been dis
posed of, but the quantity of this class
of goods is so small as to constitute a
negligible factor in the trade. The pur-
chases that have been made of this type
were in the main for the purpose of It'd
ing over until wider range of choice
could be had.
Havana.-Very little can be said about
the market in Havana leaf for the past
week that has not been already said
about the market for the last six weeks
or two months. There is very small
quantity of goods in sight, and advices
from Cuba as to the coming crop have
not tended to lower prices. For the
present the needs of the manufacturers
seem to have been satisfied. and period
of extreme dullness, if not an actual
slump, exists The dealers are biding
their time, however, confident that the
fall will find them again as busy as they
were the first three months of this year.

New YORK. June 3, 1905.
Business continues fair in this market,
fairer than in outside markets to judge
from the reports of our correspondents.
These reports are also filled with COM
plants about the shortage of stock, as
we'll as the high price what is left COM
mands. That such will be the situation
was predicted in this place months ago
and those that are suffering from it have
themselves to blame for not needing the
conscientious and thoroughly indepen-
dent analysis of the market conditions
in the u. S. Tobacco Journal. Although
slackness III the output of our cigar
industry is perceptible, business in this
market does not reflect it. The new Su-
matra finds quicker and reader sales
than was anticipated both from the
higher prices and lesser yield of the new
crop. This goes to prove that our cigar
industry cannot 60 on without an eXten-
sive use of the Sumatra regardless of the
outcome of our New England tobacco
crop. Some extensive deals have taken
place already in Connecticut Broad leaf
on packers samples. Where the pack
ings were sold with the proviso, "as they
are" the packer is relieved from any
further responsibility. The Wisconsin
binder leaf remains in steady demand
and on sound old filler stock prices are
gradually climbing up. For last years
Pennsylvania, for instance, the farmer
received more money than the 1908 sold,
cured and assorted in the market. Here
at least is visible rise of 21s cents
awaiting the buyer. In Havana leaf the
market remains very firm. The old
stock will have sway for many months
to come yet and as the Island of Cuba is
thoroughly bare of it the demand has to
be filled from the stock in this country.

There was a medium amount of bust
ness transacted during the week; in fact
perhaps twice as much as during the
previous week, still the packers are COM
planning of slow trade. AS they are
still very busy in looking after the weak
spots in the 1904 crop, their attention is
not so much given to the dullness in the
general trade as would perhaps other
wise be the case. The following sales
have been brought to our notice: G. w.

Transcript, talks as follows IN re-
gard to irrigation:
Farming with irrigation is as
different from ordinary farming as
hothouse gardening is from raising
wheat. Farming with irrigation
comes very close to being an opera
tion in chemistry, yon have your
sunlight, you have yonr soil, IN
fixed quantities and OF known
chemical constituents. You add
your water in quantities As needed.
And if you wish, you can put fer
tilizing elements, salts of potash,
for example, in your water, and
then farming is matter OF chem
istry, indeed. And the results to
| the farmer are as different as a
chemists operations must be from
| the results to a farmer who lets the
caprices of the weather govern the
supply of one of his principal in
gradients. If piece of ground
which depends for water on rain
will raise IA hundred bushels, the
same piece irrigated will raise 500.
Twenty acres irrigated will support
a family in ample comfort, and

Years ago an unmarried woman
of thirty-five was looked upon as
a soured old maid Nowadays she
is in her prime and will be the
ideal of young man probably
many years her Junior. Young
men have penchant for falling in
love with women considerably older
than themselves, aud men who
have left twenty-five behind find
much pleasure in the companion
ship OF these women who at one
time were supposed TO have become
soured by disappointment. Men
fnd that younger women demand
so much attention. They expect
to be amused or else they vote the
men dull and uninteresting, where
as woman Of thirty realizes
that men are often too tired tC rack
their brains to discover new amuse-
ments or that it may not be their
nature to be entertaining and fas.
cinatiug before a crowd, though
they may DO intensely interest

The man finds the woman of thirty
an excellent chnm, q real compan-
ion, whenever they go driving,

expect him to propose to her, aud
