The Growinz Crop In Fine Concision and

Hints on Tobacco curing:.
Major Ragland in his treatise on
tobacco curing says:
For all practical purposes, when-
ever the curer has mastered a know-
ledge of the effects of too much or
too little heat, as evinced in the col
or of the tobacco, clearly described
heretofore, he possesses a key to
solve the difficult problem in the sci
ence of curing tobacco. By close ob
servation this lesson may soon be
learned and then success is easy.
There is an occasional barn of tobac
co that defies all the known modes
and appliances to yellow or bright.
After curing, as soon as the tobac
co is sufficiently soft to move, you
may run it up in the roof of the barn
and crowd it close, or if the barn is
needed for other curings, the tobacco
may be carried to the storage barn or
bulked down in any dry house on the
premises. But be sure that nothing
is bulked with green stalks or swell-
ed stems, for if such are placed down
in bulk it will be sure to heat and ut
terly ruin.
Hand-Made Cigarettes-
According to the London Cigar
and Tobacco World, cigarette
travelers working London 0
surprised at "the number of shop
keepers who give a cigarette maker
employment for a day or so every
week to roll up a few thousand, and
when these are sold to have a fresh
lot made. No special license is re
quired, rthe ordinary permit being the steel sulky cultivator is an excel
