Observation-Disclosures
CRIMES AND CASUALTIE

Bandits at o'clock in the morning
visited the camp of laborers employed
on Bessemer road near Erie, Pa, and
after chloroforming twenty or more OF
the men, escaped with over $4,000.
Two posses are securing the country
in search of the bandits. There are
about fifty of the laborers living at
the camp, many of them being for
eigners. The previous day was their
payday. Many Of the workmen, after
receiving their pay, left camp for their
homes in Erie and Pittsburg, leaving
behind at the camp about twenty-fOur
of their fellow workmen.
Mrs. Edith Culberson, candidate for
superintendent of the Denver county
schools at the last election, shot and
killed herself at her home in Denver.
Mrs Culberson left a note in which
she evidently wished to make it clear
the wound was self-inflicted. Mrs.
Culbertson was thirty-six years old,
was a graduate of Vassar and was
born in Columbus, O.
Mrs. T. Lavender of Denver, bride
of five days, received injuries from
which she died without recovering
consciousness, and nine other persons
were hurt when the observation car

TO well cured tobacco.
4. A humid atmosphere and a com
paratively high temperature in the
shed are favorable for the growth of
the organisms which cause the damage
of tobacco.
The duties of the operator are then,
to dry the tobacco off slowly, and to
guard against extremes of the weather
so as not to allow the leaves to become
too dry or too moist. 1t is impossible
to give any fixed rules for the opera
tion of the shed as it is governed by the
weather conditions. The operator must
go into the shed, feel of the leaves,
and regulate ventilation accordingly.
In general, during the first two weeks,
the shed should be opened during the
day time and closed at night After
this, it should be usually kept tightly
closed in the day time, and opened at
night and on moist days to allow the
leaves to take up some moisture. At
tention is required until the crop is
thoroughly cured, which is only when
the midribs are completely dried out,
and the weather has become SO cool
that there is no danger of attack from
stem rot.
Tobacco is usually allowed to hang in
the shed from two and one-half to three
months, after which in favorable cas-
ing weather it is taken down, stripped
and packed in bundles. There should
be certain amount of grading in strip
ping. Diseased, wet or sandy leaves
should not be placed in 1st grade tobacco

have horizontal ventilators just below
each tier OF tobacco on both sides of
the shed. These are especially used at
the beginning of the curing process,
and later to bring the leaf into case for
stripping.
Some facts to be borne in mind by
the operator of the curing shed are
briefly as follows:
l. The tobacco must first thoroughly
wilt. If moist period follows soon
after hanging, the leaves become tur-
gid, clog the air passages, preventing
circulation, and the leaves start to
damage. The only remedy is to at
tempt to start circulation by hanging
kerosene lanterns under the roof ven
tiIator or to dry the plants off arti-
ficially by heat from fires started under
the tobacco.
2. The tobacco leaves must live for
a long time after being placed in the
shed in order to cure out properly. The
gradual change from the green color
to the bright yellow, and finally to the
cinnamon brown is life process. Any
thing which tends to kill the leaf will
check the process.
3. Curing tobacco is no. drying

rapidly, and hence the leaf will not OBJ

The plants should be cut with hand
ak close to the ground, and laid with
the butts toward the sun. The best
time to cut is in the morning soon after
the dew has left the plants, and not
later than three O'Clock in the after
noon. Care must be taken at midday
to prevent burning of the leaves by the
sun. AS soon as the plants are suffi-
GENTLY wilted so as to be handled with
out breaking, the plants should be
placed in small piles. Tobacco allowed
to wilt too much makes poor appear
ance in the shed besides being more
subject to shed diseases.
The plants should be hauled into the
shed and hung as soon as possible after
stringing. Five or six plants are US
ually strung on each lath, and these
should be placed four or six inches
apart on the hangers Close stringing
and hanging is conducive to shed dam
age as it prevents air circulation. A
harvesting gang is usually made up
most economically of five persons, two
hauling in and helping to cut down, two
stringing, and the other cutting down
and piling 1t is a good plan not to
leave cut tobacco out over night except
in cases of extreme rush or danger of
frost.

CURING IN THE SHED.

The essentials for the proper curing
of tobacco are first, properly built
curing shed, and second, a thorough
knowledge of the practical and scien-
tific aspects of the subject by the oper-
ator A large portion of the poorly
cured tobacco produced in Wisconsin
can be attributed to lack of the first
essential. Many of the sheds are i'm
properly constructed and others badly
in need of repair. Sheds with leaking
roofs and broken ventilatorS cannot be
relied upon to cure tobacco evenly, any
more than an open stack can be re-
lied upon to cure hay properly. A
model curing barn is such as will allow
a perfect circulation of air when de-
sired, permitting a rapid drying out,
and which can be closed tight so as to
effectively keep out or retain moist
atmosphere.
To obtain proper circulation of air,
it is necessary to have ventilators at
the top and bottom of the shed, so that
the air may pass, us it were, through
large fiue. The shed should be built SO
as to allow horizontal ventilator to be
attached below the sill, extending the
full length on both sides of the shed.
The roof or ridge ventilator may run
along the entire length of the shed, or
a series of small galvanized iron CHM
neys containing hampers which can be
regulated from the ground by means of
ropes may be used. With the ventilat-
ors at the top and bottom open, dry air
will enter at the bottom of the shed.
Once inside it will absorb moisture.
Moist air is lighter in weight than dry
air. and will therefore tend to rise. AS
