The Loose Leaf Selling Better Than
Ever Before-Farmers Warned
Not to Glut Markets.

Heavy Sales in the Bright-Leaf. Marts
and Still Larger Receipts Looked
For This Week--Lynchburg Sell
ing Last Of Primings.

Tho leaf tobacco markets Of Virginia
and North Carolina have had another
very busy week. Such as have been
heard from directly report large de-
liveries and continuance Of high
prices. The buyers in several of the
markets are beginning to rear that the
high figures prevailing will cause the
growers to rush their weed to tho
warehouse floors so rapidly as to glut
the markets. They are warning the
farmers that in this event the factories
and prizeries will be SO choked with
the weed that the buyers having no
more room for the loose leaf will have
to withdraw from the safes. and, OF
course, material weakening In prices
VIII be the result. They say they will
ouy all the tobacco the farmers haye
TO oner IL they arc given a chance,
but they cannot buy and care for all
or 1t at once. They mus. nave Soma
chance to handle. pick and prize the
leaf as they go along.
On all OF the markets immense GUAM
tues OF primings continue to be Of
Tered and they continue TO bring fancy
prices At the same time the cured
leaf is beginning to crowd the ware
house floors. and they. like the primings
that have had full sway Tor a while,
are selling very high.

DIR. TAFT Butler. of North Carolina,
has been doing some Investigating and
some figuring with the following re-
suit:
There are in the eleTen cotton States
6,500.O00 horses and mules If each
OF these were fed two pounds OF cot
tonseed meal per day. it would release
four pounds Of corn each day from
the usual daily feed of about fourteen
pounds. and 200 days of such feeding
to all horses and mules would release
100000 bushels of corn for human
food-and the mules and horses would
oo benefited by the change.
-Four pounds OF corn at S1.55 per
bushcl costs IL cents.
Two pounds of cottonseed meal at
$fO per ton costs cents.
The feeder would thus save cents
per day on each head Of stock, or q
saving Of $14 per head in a period of
200 days"
Virginia is included in the cotton
States, and the .cottonseed meal Is
easily obtainable. 1t is needless to
point out the hint to horse and mule
owners.

The season for the county fair is
about at hand. and it is source of
gratihcation that moro of them will
be pulled of in Virginia this year than
ever before. Here Is hoping that
every one OF them will be largely at
tended. AT the fairs are to be ex-
hibited this year the best products
that have been grown in the State or
county. and is the place where one can
learn how to go and do likewise. The
fruit grower, for instance, can easily
learn from the fruit exhibitors how
such fine specimens are produced, and
SO he sees the best Uf everything else
and learns how 1t was produced. In
this day and time one cannot afford TO
let such opportunities as the county
or district or State Fair pass unheeded.

Mica is then sprinkled over this cot
ton to enhance the effect. Place the
large star at the topmost branch of the
tree. Next find the best branches for
setting the candle holders on. To place
candles effectively is quite an art in
itself, and only the most prominent tips
should be used to point" the tree, as it
were. After the candle holders are in
place, suspend from each an "icicle" of
glass, such as can be bought by the
dozen.
Now begin the looping of the tree
with the largest chains of silver balls,
being careful to loop evenly, catching
up each section on the branches in such
a way as to emphasize the tips and get
a symmetrical effect. Next fasten the
small silver ornaments where they look
best, filling out the tree and adding to
the balanced effect.
Last take the strands of the silver
thread (such as comes in packages)
and, beginning at the star, let this
