DIETARY DICTA.

Dinner should be of lighter nature
in summer than in winter.
A quart of wheat contains more nu-
triment than a bushel Of cucumbers.
There is happy mean between eat
ing everything and being squeamish.
Two pounds of potatoes contain as
much nutriment as Is pounds OF
turnips.
Light soups, light desserts and light
meals should have the preference In
warm weather.
Vegetables and fruits are to be used
most generously at that season of the
year in which they naturally mature.
Beginning the dinner with soup is
the very best way to get the whole
system in condition for assimilating
q hearty meal.

"The most remarkable golfer l ever

wa, man out in Cincinnati, who had
passion for the game, but who COM
plicated that fervor with an appetite
for Scotch highbails that was the won

His theory was that there should
be a drink server on every tee, and
he worked it by means of an army of
Caddies. One afternoon he came in
and announced that he had renowned

CONCERNING CLOCKS.

Never allow the clock to run down.
1t responds to regular attention Just
as surely as human being does and
keeps its course truly when made to
follow its endless routine.
The hands Of clock should always
be turned forward. To set the hands
by reversing the right-hand motion ia
TO loosen delicate screws that hold
them within reach of various cog
slips
Never allow the clock to be moved
from the position where it is well bal
anced. A deviation of two or three
minutes day from the correct time
may be the result of an uneven
placing of the clock, and once it is
properly adjusted it should not be
shifted for busting or for artistic pur-
poses. This is especially true of
clocks that have a pedulum.

LANCASTER, PENN, Aug. il, ls06.
The same conditions that have pre-
vailed for months in the local leaf tobac-
co market continue, because there is
nothing to create change Trading in
old tobacco having practically ceased
long ago for lack of goods to trade with,
and the trading in the 1905, crop not
having really opened, there is no news of
the market to give. except to announce,
the sale of the 1905 packing. 22OO cases,
of M. M. Fry & Co. The packers agree,
however, on the generally fine quality of
last years crop, and the flavor of the to-
bacco is fine. The packers say there is
every reason why they should hold back
for % and even % cents pound. If
anybody wants their packings they must
pay the price asked
The cigar industry also continues
about as last week, slow, with no outlook
for change for the better, though the
manufacturers hope for better things.
The new crop is doing finely, the warm
weather and rains having started it to
regular booming growth. Fields that
quite recently looked as though they
could not possibly mature before the
frost season now look as though they
will get in on time. For the growing
crop things look rosy.-New Era.

New York.
NEW YORK. Aug. IS. 1906,


And still dull market. Memory fails
to remember similar situation at this
time of the year when the market is sup
posed to be swarming with out-of-town
buyers competing with each other in
haste to secure the choicest lots of New
England packings. Last year, this time,
the packings of Connecticut leaf had al
most all been sold out of first hands and
where sales were still hanging, it was be-
cause the buyer desired only the seconds
and light wrappers, while the packer re-
fused to sell except in running lots. At
present, however, there is no such con-
tention pending as there are so few bly,
ers in the market as hardly to cause a
ripple in it, What causes this unpre-
cedented backwardness of the season is
hard to tell. There cannot possibly be
a surplus of wrapper leaf for such pur-
poses rs the Connecticut leaf is being
generally used. Some try to hold the
Florida Georgia leaf which is going off
with rush accountable for the present
lack of strenuous demand for the Con-
neticut, while others ascribe it to the
changed color fashion in the taste of the
smoker. But whatever the cause, the
Connecticut packings will hardly go
begging after a while. Some disappoint-
ments will no doubt be met in regard to
the expected rise in the value of the
separately classified light wrapper leaf
If, however, the custom of buying run
ming lots is restored, the packer will
hardly be much out of his pocket, as the
value of the medium and even dark col
cred leaf rises in proportion to the fall
ing off in the value of the strictly light
wrapper leaf. In Sumatra trading con-
tinues active without much ado on the
part of either seller or buyer. Last

The growing crop is in splendid con
dition and two weeks more will see a
number of crops ready for harvesting.
Experienced growers realize the danger
of cutting before the tobacco is ripe and
ready for harvesting and, although the.
temptation of seeing the crop safe in the
sheds is great, the additional money
value from increased weight and thor
oughly ripe tobacco makes them wait
until their crops are in proper condition
before harvesting. The crop this year
is the largest and best grown in many
years and the growers are confident that
good prices will be secured.-Gazette.

Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market,

The tobacco harvest is well under way
in all parts of the valley. This week will
see large quantity of it under the shin
giles, and although there are some few
pieces that are at present only just top
ped, the great majority of the crop is
good, better, in fact, than any crop rails
ed in the valley for several years.
There is difference between the crop
set early and that set late. AS there is
a seed time and harvest, and as most of
natures crops try to mature before the
frosts appear consequently the late set
tobacco seems to put forth more vigor to
be in time to mature it's seed, and, as a
result, most late plants of any descrip-
tion throw up seed shoots as rapidly as
possible. One man living near me said
in effect that on account of his late set
ting his crop would not be so heavy this
year as last The buds shot up so
quickly that he has not so many leaves
on plant by one or two as he had last
year, and it is generally so in the cases
that have come under my observation.
But for all the late setting and all the,
other ills that have overtaken the crop,
it is the best seen here for the past five
years. Now that we have got a good
thing let us try and keep it. Get it har-
vested as soon as possible and give it un
divided attention until the money for it
is in your pockets. Attend to the sheds
after the harvest. Don't crowd the to-
bacco into the sheds. Better leave few
rows out to perish than to crowd your
room in the sheds, thereby causing pole
rot and pole sweat thus injuring the
whole shed full of nice tobacco, and
then when the rest are through little
room may be found so that this little left
out will only be slightly damaged. But
it is always better to have room enough
of your own, even though you do as some
are now doing, adding one more section
to the length of the barn. This extra
room is almost always what is needed
for storage of tools and wagons; the
room is not lost.
Our correspondents report as follows
East Whately, Mass: "The last ten days
have made the tobacco farmers happy.
The crop has grown to be the finest that
has grown here for the last fifteen years.
Cutting has commenced on several fields
and will be rushed for the next two
weeks. Among the best crops are those
through Claverick street, there being
about one hundred acres and all OF the
best. Some are shipping onions and
getting fair price" Feeding Hills,
Mass: Tobacco cutting commenced last
week at the Taylor Brothers, and most
of the farmers will commence today.
The crop is in fine condition; good
growth, clean and free from blemlshes
thus far. A good deal of sunshine IS
needed now and clear air. Cultivator.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, Wis. August "a, 1906.


As the harvest proceeds and the near
er we come to be assured what the pres
ent tobacco crop really is, the more de-
termined is the buying movement being
prosecuted. The coming into the field
during the week of the buying force of
the United Cigar Manufacturing Co. has
increased the number of those riding
and were it not that growers were hold
ing stiff1y for the outside figure hereto
fore paid for the crop, contracting would
be much more frequent. A large pro-
portion of farmers still decline to place
price upon their tobacco until it is Sc
cured, unless something unusually at
tractive is offered. Those riding COM
plain that the market is pretty we'll
sewed up and yet quite a good
many contracts are reported closed at
prices ranging from IL to Ia and Is cts.
for wrapper and binder goods and from
2 to cts. for filters
The harvest is now in full swing
throughout the state and some of the
most promising tobacco ever grown in
the state is now going into the sheds
The warm weather succeeding the recent
storms has brought along the late fields
with phenomenal growth so that a tre-
mendcusly heavy crop is assured. Grow
ers everywhere are taking an inventory
of their shed capacity and many of them
will certainly have to build additions or
make provisions for an extraordinary
yield. The damage thus far from bad
storms is away below the normal in this
state and the leaf is particularly sound.
We have arrived, however, at the critical
stage, when in few moments hail will
sweep away the products of a whole
seasons toll. Give us two or three
weeks immunity from hail or heavy
storms and Wisconsin will harvest
banner crop this season.
Aside from sampling of the 1905 pack
ings, which is now going forward, the
cured leaf market has developed no news
of Importance.
The shipments out of storage are light,
probably not to exceed 200 cases for the
week to all points from this market.

The tobacco in Crawford county now
promises to come out much better than
was expected few weeks ago. The re-
cent rains have caused the weed to grow
by leaps and bounds and have made
thousands of dollars for our growers.
The season thus far has been free from
any bad hail or wind storms and usually
those bad storms come during the latter
part of July and first of August. We
have reasons to have strong hopes that
this years crop will pull thru without
any serious mishap. At present not
many buyers are doing much riding, but
all dealers have local representatives
who are keeping watchful eye on every
move that is made.-Independen

Generally [ advise beginning to har-
vest the tobacco crop three to four weeks
after topping; much depends on the
weather during that period. Don't cut
the tobacco until the top leaves begin to
mottle. Sucker the tobacco three days
prior to harvesting. Let your tobacco
stand at least one day after heavy rain
storms to take on gum. Avoid cutting
until after the morning dews have dis
appeared. In harvesting the grower
should exercise great vigilence and look
carefully after every detail. Watch your
help and see that they hahdle the leaf
properly. Don't cut more tobacco in
one day than can he we'll cared for. See
that too many plants are not crowded on
the laths. Look after spacing in the
sheds when the tobacco is hung; leave
at least six inches between plants. Look
carefully to the proper ventilation of the
shed, as much depends upon the proper
curing of the tobacco, especially the
first two weeks after the tobacco is hung
in the shed, as this is the crucial test.

lack Of careful attention when first hung.
Open wide the bottom and top ventilat-
ors, and let the air circulate up under
the crop freely. The matter of curing is
sadly neglected by large number of
growers, and | wish to emphasize the
importance of making this a special
study. Watch the condition of the crop
from day to day, see that the symptoms
are healthy and favorable every morn
ing; strive to avoid the dire calamity of
shed-b and pole-rot. Some seasons
this requires great skill and knowledge,
as the weather is liable to be treacher
Gus and disappointing. There is also
danger of too rapid drying of the crop
during the curing 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 Importance of proper ventila-
tion, and use every precaution in con-
trolling the atmosphere in the shed.-O.

Notwithstanding the reduced tariff on
Philippine tobacco, etc, which Babcock
vigorously opposed, and which he refers
to in his announcement Of his candidacy
for denomination with view of befud-
ding the tillers of the soil, the present
offers for the Wisconsin crop and all old
tobacco are higher than they have been
for years.
This item has been floating around the
3rd district papers for some time and it
is about time the lie was nailed. Pray,
who is trying to befuddle the tillers of
the soil? First, the proposed Philippine
bill did not become a law, thanks to
such insurgents as Mr.. Babcock and
others who blocked the game in the SEN
ate. Second, had it become a law no
such prices could have been paid for
Wisconsin leaf as now prevail. The
author of such mistatements is bold,
bad deceiver.
