Molasses Makes Tobacco Burn Tongue

a plug of smoking and put it in a
damp place outside somewhere and
then come back after a week or two
to look at it you'll see a pile of square
cut leaves, perhaps five or six inches
high. This is because the tobacco will
have lost the molasses glue, not from
the molasses having been washed of
the leaf, but from it's having ferment-
ed into vinegar
"The film of molasses keeps the
leaf moist and pliable. This is be-
cause of the sugar crystals in it. If
you've ever noticed salt in wet wealth
er you'll often have seen how it gath
cred the wet. The sugar crystals act
exactly like the crystals of salt, but
to a less degree.
when you fellows that smoke pipes
say that tobacco burns your tongue
you're away off. The tobacco hasn't
a thing to do with it. And your tongue
isn't being burnt, it's being scalded."
From the moisture in the tobacco?"
asked the customer.
Partly" said the tObaccOnist, "but
mostly from moisture you'd not think
was in the tobacco There's a great
deal of moisture in the little sugar
crystals over and above what you'd
expect they might collect from the
air.
when you melt this sugar in your
pipe each crystal dissolves first in a
little pool of water, and makes ma
teriaI for steam, in addition to the
free water in the tobacco that you
can feel with your fingers.
This hot steam makes a regular
steam heating system between the
bowl of your pipe and your tongue
and while you think your tongue is
being burnt you're actually getting
your tongue parbOiled."

What's the matter with it?" said the
smoker to a Washington tobacconist.
It's been made up with a little bit

mist. The tobacco intended for win

lasses in it than summer tobacco.
They've several reasons for add
ing mOlasseS to tobacco" he contin-
ued, coming back to the end of the
counter. In the first place, if the
leaf wasn't made just the least bit
sticky it would be apt to crumble to
a very fine powder that would choke
UP your pipe, especially in winter,
when tobacco gets extremely dry.
so when they add a little molasses
to the cut leaf they make a thin,
sticky film over it. This keeps the to-
baccO in good shape and the molasses
locks the nicotine in the body if the

Place of the Peanut.

The peanut Is so different in ap-
pearance from the bean, the pea and
the clover, and 1t Is put to such diff
ferent use that 1t is seldom thought
of as legume which derives practically
all Of its nitrogen from the air. The
plant blossoms above ground, but as
the flower withers the stalk. or spike,
of the ovary lengthens and pushes
into the ground, so that the pod is
matured beneath the surface. The
peanut itself. therefore. corresponds
to the pea or the bean pod, and the
nuts are the peas or the beans.

the ventilation is excellent and they
provide warmth and shelter. To make
such a coop first drive shingle nails
through the hoops on both sides Of
each stave, clinching them firmly.
Divide the barrel in halves by saving
through hoops and bottom. Drive
stakes to hold the coop in place and
provide a gate which can easily be
removed. This should be covered with
wire screen small enough to prevent
weasels and other animals from get

GENERAL FARM NOTES.

of the scales and Babcock test.
Feed the good cows balanced
ration.
Grow alfalfa and provide abundance
Of silage.
Head the herd with the best sire
obtainable.
Raise the heifer calves from the
best COWS.
Continue to weed, feed and breed.
The chiefest demand of the horse
markets Is for heavy animals. The
farmer who has draft mares has a
good investment
All cockerels not needed should be
sold or eaten. If allowed around the
breeding pens they will harrass the
pullets and possibly cut short the egg
production.

Geese build their own nests. care

comes in the winter when shelter has

An educator has come out with the
statement that the farm Is the worst
place to rear children. This may be
true, but that educator has a big task
to prove 1t, and he must upset the
