The Anoka Union said sometime
ago: ''The editor who fails to get
a roast of some kind after each
issue is fortunate individual"
The editor who is not roasted after
each issue of his paper by some
individual amounts to about as
much as North Pole icicle at the
equator or in another place un-
necessary to recall to mind.
Prof. Webb says he believes
there is no danger of Peary send

Professor.
Senator Black -Davy, the Ward

confidentially, but not for general

says he offers the same good advice
to all: "Tend to biznuz; don tsay

The London Telegraph says the
prisoners at French Guiana have
discovered a very valuable gold
mine and all the colonists are given
an equal share in it. The London
paper says that relays or squads
of the prisoners are permitted to

days at a time and when they re-

TOBACCO CURING BY HEAT.
New Type Of Closed Barn Used by a
Connecticut Grower.

Connecticut Grower.
Tobacco growing is counted among
the hazardous lines OF agriculture in
that Il crop mary be totally destroyed
within ii very short time by hail or by
pole sweat in the curing shed. Dan
ger of hail damage is eliminated in
the growing OF shade tobacco. but the
menace Ut pole sweat Is as great as
ever. Last season. however. the first
scientific. experiment on Il large scale
to guard against pole sweat in cigar
leaf tobacco was made on the farm OF
William rinney at Sutiield, Conn. The
result may ultimately place the farm
cr in absolute control OF the curing
process. shortening the time and de-
termining the shade the tobacco shall
be when ii has been cured.
The experiment was simply the util-
ization of artificial heat during the
curing process. Some kinds Of heavy
leaf tobacco are cured in tight barns
and with fire. and it has long been a
common practice to build charcoal fires
in the barns when tobacco was in
grave danger of being ruined by pole
sweat. But until the experiment on
the Pinney farm no effort had been
made to control the curing and color
ing of cigar leaf.
A special type of barn is required
for this work. \ ventilator along the
entire ridge which may be readily
opened or closed tight is an important
feature. Instead of the crude charcoal
burners placed on the ground. creating
a fire menace. specially constructed
furnaces. five in humber. were placed
III the ground. The feed doors are on
the outside of the building. so that
smoke and vapors from the fire cannot
enter the barn and affect the flavor OF
the tobacco. The smoke pipe OF each
furnace runs across the entire width
of the building and returns on II parai-
lei ten feet away and at a slight pitch.
The vents are in the side OF the barn.
The smoke pine forms the only heat
radiating service.
Immediately after the crop was put
into the barn the fires were started
and the barn closed tightly. The tenn

perature was run up to so degrees and
the fires permitted to die down after
the first day. The curing by this meth
cd was fastened at least five days.
Very excellent natural atmospheric
conditions for curing prompted MIR.
Pinney to abandon further application
Of artificial heat. 1t was noted during
the first two days when the barn was
closed that the tobacco turned Il rich
yellow. The final result was a large
percentage of excellent wrappers.
The furnaces were installed under
the supervision of u representative OF
the United States department OF agri-
culture. and the curing was followed
by John Il. Stewart, United States to-
bacco expert in the Connecticut valley,
who acted i'll Ill advisory capacity TO
Mr., Pinney. The entire crop was
prime tobacco and has since been
sold at a little less than % cents per
pound. Next year this method will
have q more thorough test. The value
of a barn full of tobacco Is no small
item. and any experiment which might
destroy such a valuable product is nat
uraily conducted with greatest eau
ton. .
Tobacco ulen are confident that the
barn curing process will eventually be
as easily controlled as the sweating
process by means OF steam heat.

Winter Care of CABBAGE.

How deeply should cabbage plants
be covered wners. the ground some
times freezes three and four feet:
Does it hurt cabbage to freeze! Should
plants be taken up before freezing in
the autumn! How early in the spring
should they be set out? These ques-
lions are answered by Linnaeus Allen
Of Nassau county. n. Y. as follows:
Where the ground freezes three and
four feet deep 1T will be necessary to
plow up the cabbage after trench
ing so that the heads will be covered
with at least a foot of soil. On top
of this should be Il heavy mulch OF
cornstalks or other suitable material.
1t does not hurt cabbage to be frozen
In the trenches provided it remains
frozen for a long time. What hurts
1t is TO be thawed and then frozen
several times.
The plants should be taken up and
put in the trenches before the soil be-
comes frozen too hard to work easily.
Two or three heavy frosts will not
hurt the plants. nor would a reason-
able amount Of freezing. except that
the heads will bruise easily when
frozen. and this will u rot.
If you wish to put the cabbage away
for seed growing next spring the
heads should be set out as soon as the
ground can be put in good condition
after the frost is out.
