THE scene of one of my fathers

generals house was fronted by a

right to pasture a COW.

THE REMINGTON ANToLoADING oTG

The danger Of the powerful smokeess powder gm blowing back into
a shooters eye has always been the great problem to overcome in gun
making. A thick wall of solid steel, unbroken by protruding hammer or

soutaey safe.

gunmakers greatest attainment in that they load themselves, are Solid

THE REMINGTON AUAoLoADING RIFLE

Remington genius solved the problem and gave the American Sports
men the Remington Autoloading Rifle and Shotgun which load them
selves. The safety of the shooter, however, was even more important in
the mine of the inventor than the idea of relieving him II the work and
worry of operating the arm.
In the Remington Autooading type, the recoil is utilized by having
the barrel movable 81 a S to react against a stiff spring. Upon the ex
plosion of the shell II cartridge, the kick pushes the barrel back against
the spring. When the barrel moves forward, the fired shell is elected
and a loaded one thrown into place from the magazine chamber which

The leaf market during the week ap-
pears to have been quite active if the
lack of any complaints can be taken as
a criterion. There are to be recorded,
however, no big transactions. The ma
terial anywayis missing for any volum-
inous trading in any type of leaf. But
odds and ends of everything are selling
and they sum up to considerable ag-
gregate. In the meanwhile sampling is
crops for which there is steadily
growing demand. The scarcity of a
binder supply is beginning to make it
self felt already and the ready market
ing of the new Wisconsin is being look
ed for with a rushing anxiety. 1t is
the same with the filler crops. From
reports published in this issue our
readers will learn that the Pennsylvania
districts have been cleared almost of
all Of the 1907 and 1908 stock and that
in consequence prices on the new crop
are advancing The sampling of the
1909 Zimmer's has proved that crop
not to be so altogether deficient in
heavy bodiness and quality as reported
at the time of harvesting it. To know
this will be relief for the cigar in
dustry which in it's steadily forward
march will need all the available leaf
that the market could possibly present.
The August returns for the cigar out
put throughout the country show avery
comfortable and reassuring increase.
And the reports of our correspondents
from all the cigar distributing centers
show an almost old time splurge in ci-
gar sales and orders. Evidently the
trade is preparing for an exceedingly
lively holiday rush. And as factories
are not overstocked with leaf the mar
ket will undoubtedly become rushed too
to furnish the supply for the increasing
cigar output. There is likely, however,
to be some difficulty in supplying the
proper quantity of desirable Sumatra.
The fall inscriptions are turning out
but minimum of desirable leaf for the
American market and the pre-fall in
scriptions fell far short of the quota
generally acquired for our cigar indus

LANCASTER, Pa, Sept. 20, 1910.
The tobacco growers of the county
are taking advantage of the favorable
weather to cut their tobacco, and by
the end of the week comparatively lit
tie will remain in the field. A light
frost last week that did no damage,
fortunately, gave warning OF what
might follow, and there is no longer
any reason to delay cutting and getting
the crop away beyond the reach of
frost. 1t is great crop, a bumper, !"
in fact, and many of the growers are
hard set to find place for storing the
tobacco. The packers have been eye
ing the crop very sharply for weeks
past, in order to learn it's qualities, but
so far no buying has been done. Meth
er packer nor grower is anxious to do
business yet, preferring to wait until
stripping is over. At least this is the
view they take Of the matter now,
though of course they may change on
very slight provocation, for instance,
if the agents of the trusts should start
buying.
With the crop to large extent
housed, the interest of the grower is
not unnaturally turned to the financial
possibilities of the same. 1t is ques-
tion that has very general interest to
the entire county. In this connection
it may be in order to quote a prominent
tobacco grower, who in discussing the
financial prospects of The crop on Mon
day, said:
''The present crop of tobacco is one
of the largest and heaviest, if not the
largest, ever grown in the county. Last
years crop aggregated only 10000
cases. / have heard prominent pack
ers, whose judgment is of the best, es-
innate the presentscrop at from 90, 600
to 120, 900 cases, although the weight
of opinion is that the aggregate VIII ~
about 1000 cases. The season has
been unusually favorable, the crop has
been harvested in the best possible
condition and is curing finely. Then
why shouldn't the farmer realize q re-
price, say from twelve to
fourteen cents a pound? | mention
these figures because | have heard of
some packers talking six to eight cents,
together with depreciatory comments
on the crop. This in the face of the
fact that unless present conditions rad
ically change, there will probably be a
shortage in our grade of tobacco. -

There has been more or less buying
every day of the past week, and the
total volume of tobacco taken out of
the market is considerable, making a
record substantially in advance of any
week for some time past. There were
no large sales, but the manufacturers
seem to have arisen to the situation
and are beginning to lay in their need
ed supplies. Interest, so far as the
new crop is concerned, centers in Wis
consin, where buying has been going
on for the past ten days at prices 20
per cent higher than last years. In
the southern part of the state where
there are only about Is, 900 acres grow
ing, 5000 acres were damaged by the
recent hail and wind storm. This dam
aged tobacco has been taken by tObac-
co manufacturing concerns for smoking
and chewing purposes, at from five to
six cents. The American Cigar Go.
have bought also at ten and eleven
cents sound tobacco in the southern
part of the state. 1t is stated that out
of the 20, 900 acres grown IN the state
this year, not more than $4,000 will
produce serviceable binders. The buy
ing in Connecticut has about come to

siderable quantities of Havana Seed
