Tobacco in the. East. Tha following in an extract taken from Greensboro .Patriot, contributed by C. A. Bray, loaf tobacco dealer or that place: Every /firmer who wishes to be suc cessful must grow less tobacco and grow it goed. One acre of good tobac co is better Tor yen than tcu acres of sorry stuff, ior ouo acre of trood tobac co will pay you a profit, but ten acres of sorry stuff will' bring you in debt. I don’t care how large the general avtrage on tobacco is, these good rich tobaccos always demand a good price.; Manure for tobacco should be horse stable manure and a first class com mercial fertilizer, with a large j*er cent, of ammonia and potash. The following would make a most excallenl tobacco fertilizer: 8 per cent; of phoa phnrlc acit, (ava..) 4 per cant, of pot ash K2U derived from sulpliata pot ash, aud 3} per cent, of ammonia derived from nitrate soda and dried blood. Put on 500 pounds to the acre in the drill. Never put fortilzar In the hill for f?ood results. An excellent way to use your burst manure la to drill it m the poorest spots of laud very lightly aud then go over tha land wub your fertilizer just the same at if the manure was not there. This gives you uaiiormilv aud good sice In your tobacco. Keep your tobacco well worked, runuing your plough close to the plant first time aud further off each succes sive time to the last plowing. This prevents breaking tha new roots of the plant which have just crossed your last furrows. Give your tobacco plenty of apace to glow iu. Topping totwcco requires sciauca, experience and judg ment. lu this section tobacco should be well primed and then topped from eight to twelve leaves, and sometimes fourteen iu very rich spots. In top ping tolncco judge from the growth of the plant huw many leaves It will thoroughly mature and then top at tbat. Mora of it should be topped at eight and ten leaves in this section then at anything else. Your success iu growing tobacco depends largely on topping it just right. If you top 100 low it makes it coarse and bony; if you top too high It makts it thin aud poor, with a lot of tips. Grow your tobacco good aud rich, let it gat thoroughly ripe before cut ting iu Curs It as bright as you can on the stalk nod if you should then want it mahogany it is uo trouble to hang it np and let it run ted. The tobacco trade wauts this class of to bacco, then let us be up and doing and vupply tha wants of the trade wi h this valuable type of tobacco which it produced ouly iu the Old Piedmont bolt of North Carolina and Virginia. Endeavor to grow all vour grain aud supplies at home and grow wbai tobacco you can mauure * all and cul tivate first class, for a money crop. This is the only remedy for the present low average on tobacco that I know of which each farmer may avail him self of ind.qwudeul of the others. This article is written without re ward or the hope of reward, in the hope that it may direct some poor down trodden farmer’s thoughts iu tLa right direction and enable hiiu once more to carry a full oocket nook and wear a smiling fao* as ha once did. How a Letter Kay Be Recalled. Maoy limes paopla would like to re call a letter after it has been mailed. This can be done even if the letter has reached the post-office at its destina tion. At every post office there are wbatta called “withdrawal blanks.” On application they nill be furnished and, whan a deposit is made to cover Iba expenses, the postmaster will tel egraph to the postmaster at tba letter’s destination asking tbat it be promptly returned. Tha applicant first signs this agreement: “It » hereby agreed that, if tha latter is returned to me. 1 will protect you from ary and all claims made against you for such reiuru and will folly Indemnify you for any loss you may eu*taiu by tsason for such ac tion. Audi herewith deposit fi—to coverall expanses incurred and will deliver to you the envelope of the let* ter returned." lu mauy cases persons have made reinitunc* to fraudulent parties or facraspoualbla firms, uoi learning their true character until af ter the latter had gone, and have suc ceeded In recalling them. There is an instance where a Kansas City mer chant had remitted a dishonest travel, ing mau a draft for $175 and by means of e withdrawal rescued the draft just lu time. How Some Senators Get Rich. The time was whan a Seuntox on bis salary could not get rlc’% That time has passed. Mr. Walter Wellman, writing form Washington to the Chica go Herald, shows how it is that they get rich in these days: “Monday last a certain stock-broker in this city filled on order for 000 shat as nl* sugar Hock in Hall street. His customers wero three Uuited bLnios Senator. “In filling this order the broker be gan bnying atll3& end bought up to 115. Yvsterday ibis deal was closed out at from lo 118. The profits on the tratuaction was about S3O/00. “This is what oue broker did. How much slock was handled by other brokers here and in New York fur senatorial account no one knows. “1< is pretty well understood that Senators who were able to get inside inform iltoti concerning the sugar sche dule in the Finance committee revision have been buying iu Wall street for a week or more. They were speculat ing ou a sure thing, for the manner m which the sugar schedule favors the trust could not fail to put iu shares op in tbs market when the facts should becomt public property. “There is a great deal ot gossip about these senatorial Investments in sugeir, hot it is not coneideied probable the Senate will order an investi gation. The Senate does not care for any more sugar speculation investi gations."—News A Observer. The eighty- first report of the Ameri can Bible Society was presented to its managers at its mduiw) meeting in the Bible house this afteruoou. It showed that receipts for benevolent work, In cluding "iRh . from auxiliaries were SIBB 377 and disbursements for benev olent work near $265 068. The tutal giite ol the living were $68,886. . Never betbro, with a single excep tion, have so mauy volumea of Iba Bible been eent from tbat Bible house in one year to foreign countries. The antlrs number Is 101,354. ana seven eights of them went to Mexico, Cen tral aud South America. !■ The Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows meet in Raleigh next year. Trenton Market.
