I iCmino- is one of the most difficult" p:n ts of the w hole management I f the-tobaccd crop, and requires inte.Hi gence and careful watching to carry it tolsurcessjully completion. ' j There are .many -plans followed as - J : . . i ; some soils are adapted to the dark to- 5 . "... r . E t baccos, and others to the bright, vel low tobaccos, and several tnocies ol curing will be alluded 'to. j: For the dark English shipping, the following plan is quitej common and isjeonsidered a good a:id inexpensive une by many good tobacco planters : I When. the tobacco ibarn has been . f . . I ' ' ! - ' j filled with tobacco, and the wood pre- pared, and it is best to have a mix ture ol green and seasoned vvood, start the fires, and commence with moderate fire, and increase gradually, and in three pr tour days the tobacco will be sufficiently cured as to requit e only occasionly firing during the damp days, or rainy da) s, or in the morning tor a few hours. jWhen the fire is started, it should be kept up day, and inight until the process of curing is finished. -Dark, heavy shipping tobacco is now much i . 1 v f cured with flues, as j with the flues you get the heat without the smolie, and get rid of the 'objection raised against the smoke taste of the tobac co, and run less risk in curing than with the open fires. , j In curing this classof tobacco, it is very important that the tobacco barn should be closeiy' built; it should be made as near air tight as possible, and sp constructed that ventilation can be easily and quickly controlled. . The curing of this kind of tobacco is done with flues built in the tobacco barn, i and this is a difficult process,: requiring the-exercise of skill atten tion and practice to insure the best results. The process is so variable, apd dependent on so many condi tions, that no ceratin plan can be fol lowed at all times.

I The Southern States Maoazine, of Baltimore, says, the Herald, of that city, publishes reports from over 500 correspondents in all parts of the South, as to the financial condition of farmers, which shows that Southern farmers, as a class, are less burdened with debt than they have been at any previous time since the war; that they are nowmore and morel producing at home their own provis-i ions and less . and 1 ss d ?pendent upon the West for corn, flour, porkj hay and like supplies; that in grow4 ing these things they are saving themselves the: enormous profits they formerly paid to supply merchants, and that living thus on thji own re sources they can count la-gely as profit whatever they may rceiye for such cotton as they grow, It ap pears! says our contemporjiry, that the flirmers are living betjter than ever; f)efore, in spitej of Hard time, arid because of a wider and jvviser uti lization of natural resources jind capa bilities, and moreover, in some sec tions the proceeds from the" sale of cotton and the surplus of other crops have been more than enough to pay up back. debts, and farmer;;,, besides buyi ig such needed supplies as can not be raised, are improving their farms, buying new furniture, vehicles, farm implements, etc., ancl in .-some case? are lending and ivesting money.
