HOW TO CURE TOBACCO.

HOW TO CURE TOBACCO.
Valuable Directions Given by Practical
Tobacconist--Follow Them.
All tobacco should be cut with the
first grain on it to get the best re-
suits in curing. Now, to begin with.
we have a house of tobacco cut un-
der normal conditions. Make good
fire to warm the barn and timber the
tobacco down, and afteryo have the
barn warm. with the thermometer at
100, you can make a quick heat and
run the heat up to lis for about five
minutes; then pull the fire out and
drop back to 100. Now keep your
heat regular till you get the tobacco
in a sweat. You will then be gov
erned by the weather; if it is hot
you can run as above stated, out If
it is cool weather you will have to
fire 10 to Is degrees lower, so you
have the tobacco yellowing nicely
after you have fired twenty to thirty
hours. Now before you raise your
heat you should run up to lb and
drop back, then open your door and
cool off back to 95 or 100. You are
trying to get the sweat off. there
fore continue this process till you can
run the back of your hand over the
tobacco leaves and if the tobacco
feels dry you can raise the heat. But
this is the particular time and you
must watch the ends Of the leaf and
see that it does not splotch. Now to
dry tobacco you must rise and fall
with your heat. Say you want to dry
your leaf, raise your heat to l2O.
then run up to 125 five minutes,
then up to 13O three minutes, then
open your door and cool back to lis.
By rising and falling you dry the
bugs and sap the body and tips. In
all cases when you want to fire ut a
certain heat run to 10 above that
point, then fall back to where you
want to fire at. This toughens the
tobacco. Now when you have the
leaf dry you can stay around l3O to
140 about or a hours, to get the
shoulder of the leaf thoroughly dry,
and when you have that done you
raise your heat to $50 and stay two
hours, then you can 20 on and kill it
out. Never run your heat over 200
degrees, as you may scorch the leaf.
and that won't do. This is general
outline of curing, but you will have
to learn every crop and use the gen.
eral principle of curing tobacco and
always try to cure your weed"
with tinge Of green, as that will
run out and leave your tobacco a
clear color, and color is the thing to
20 after ,as tobacco with color brings
the money, and that is what you
want. Now, l will call your attention
to one thing here. You must not let
your tobacco get too ripe, as it is
hard to cure with color and is too
tender and brittle, so you must guard
carefully against this. While you are
curing, never cure barn unless you
have bucket of water sitting at the
door and use every precaution
around the barn. Now that you have
the tobacco cured you should take it
out of the barn just as soon as it
gets soft enough to handle, then
have place in your pack house to
lay it down in long bulk for day
or two, after which put it in chicken
coop bulk until through curing, then
you can hang it up or let it lie in
bulk till you get ready to grade and
market the tobacco.

THE TROOPS IN FRANCE.

THE TROOPS IN FRANCE.
Some Pertinent Comments on the Secrecy
of Their Going.
Safe arrival in France of the first
two detachments of our army has
stirred few newspapers to fresh
complaints about the secrecy of the
sailing of the troops. 1t was all
along, it is said, an open secret that
they were on the sea. If German
spies are operating here, they knew
the fact as we'll as thousands of
others. Nothing was gained by pre-.
venting the news from being printed.
And how much was lost! If only the
soldiers had been paraded on shore
before eInbarking, what acclaim
would have greeted them. how they
would have been covered with ap-
plause and flowers, what popular en-
thusiasm would have been evoked,
how recruiting would have leaped
forward and raised the army to war
strength instantly!
Possibly; we may even say proba-
bly,. But in imagining what might
have been. we may fancy another
course of events. Suppose that full
publicity had been given to the as
sembling and departure of Gen Per-
shing's men; that the populace and
the newspapers had had their fling;
and then suppose that one Of the
transports had been torpedoed on the
way to France, with the loss of 1000
men. Military secrecy would have
looked somewhat different in that
event. 1t would not have been posi-
bic, of course, to prove that q Ger.
man submarine had been given in
formation in consequence of adver-
Using the movement, but everybody
would have said that an unn ecessary
risk had been run, and the govern
ment and the press would have been
severely blamed for not having kept
the whole expedition as dark as pos
sible. Prople would have recalled the
saying of Gen Sherman that, during
the Civil war, the improper use of
military news by our newspapers
had cost 100000 lives. and would
have asked. Are we never going to
learn anything? For the sake of a
mere spectacular display, are we to
expose our army to even a possible
peril?"
As a matter of fact. we think the
country as whole heartily approves
the secrecy with which our soldiers
have been landed on French soil. So
far as enthusiasm goes, there is just
as much over the news of the com.
plete success of the expedition as
there would have been over the sight
of the men marching through our
streets and boarding their ships.
Only few of our citizens, compare
lively, could have witnessed the lat
ter; the whole country takes solid
satisfaction in the evidence that our
army and navy aficials did the job
they had to do in a wordman-like
manner. 1t is not only the military
experts who have made up their
minds that this war must be conduct
ed in the spirit of grim business.
The entire nation is convinced of
that and acquiesce in it. We can we'll
spare spectacle and fuss and feathers
provided we get military efficiency.
Needlessly to put a single soldier to
hazard for the sake of tickling the
crowd would be little short of criminal.

NO SEPARATE PEACE
FOR THE RUSSIANS
Foreign Minister Says SIays viii,
Fight On.
FOE WOULD EXPLOIT COUNTRY
Terestehenke in Address Declares Ger
many's Aim Is to Separate }
Russia From the "
~ Entente.

Petrograd, Oct. 31.-Foreign Minis
ter Terestchenko in addressing the
preliminary parliament said n separ-
ate peace was impossible, and that de-
Tense Of Russian territory was one of
the fundamental needs.
There is rumoT that the allies
wished TO leave Russia TO her fate,
the foreign minister continued, "but
state officially that it is untrue.
"Germany's aim Is to separate Rus
sla from the allies, and if possible TO
do this by peaceful means, in order TO
use Russia economically afterward.
Plans to Exploit Russia.
"While the other nations at war are
unable to continue civil industry, Ger
many has been so well organized from
the beginning that she has been able
to continue her efforts to carry on
trade. She looks upon Russia as her
market. fF
Therefore the defense Of Russian
territory is one of the fundamental
needs now, for If Germany gets into
Russia commercially after the war we
shall have no self-defnition after
ward" , -
The foreign minister said the abso-
lutte independence of Courland, and,
perhaps, of Poland and Lithuania, was
impossible, as 1t would mean that Rus
STA would return to the days before
Peter. He also asserted complete de-
mobilization and disarmament and
naturalization of canals and straits
were impossible.
Russia's foreign policy had not
changed the minister continued. since
the first statement enunciating the
principles of no indernnities, no an
nexations and the right of nations to
self definition.
''Tbe people must understand that
the war is being carried on not by gov
,ernments, but by nations" he added.
."As the nations began the fighting, so
they must end 1t. Russia and France
first held back the foes, and so they
continue"
NJ. Terestchenko declared that the
loffers for a separate peace and the
sentiment in favor of them were
strongest last May, when they were
followed by the Russian offensive.

The financial calibre OF Fremont is
indicated by the fact that, with a pop

two banks have assets representing
over half million of dollars or more
than a thousand dollars for each in

this money come from? It comes from
the practically unlimited resources of
this rich agricultural community with
its rich farm land producing each
year their bumper crops and from the
sale of the finest of live stock and
high bred horses. With such a reserve
it is no wonder that this section is
