Curing'. ' In a former nrticle 1 gave ' my view of the cause of so much non descript, worthless tobacco found on all our markets; we stated the cause to be due to faults that are Insepar able from our present method of curing the leaves on the stalk. In the present chapter we will give our views for what they are worth about the feaHibility of growing rich, waxy leaves on other than virgin soil. ' We tried the experiment ou an old field that had been under the plow and hoe for 100 rears. In fact,' may-pops and sassafras were the only things that would grow on it spontaneously, and from this old worn-out field, we grew a heavy waxy tobacco that was manufactur ed into plug by itself and this same plug made its mark, and it is the talk of the town as being, the best- flavored waxy chew ever found on our market. First, we say that rich waxy tobacco cannot be grown on worn-out land with commercial fer tilizer only. iheaiflrence between old land and virgin soil lies in the fact that new-sou is filled with the deposits roiu decayed vegetation, from fullou timber and leaves for generation.;, the top of the soil is loote, full ci tibrous roots of trees, mulch of rot tea leaves; the plaut roots find their: way rapidly and east! to surprising distances from the stem in search of the food that nourishes them. j he leaves spread their porus sur face to the air and sunshine equal to fifteen square feet in an ordinary plant of fourteen leaves. The roots of a thrifty plant covers as much space under the ground if the plant is set in well pulverized soil and it filled witk decomposed vegetation. The plan of raisins tobacco on old land is of en a failure by reason of the husbandman not toaiprc Head ing the needs of the plant he essays to grow, lie plows his land thath. void of fertility of any kind and drops a haudfutof guano in a bunch and sets his plant upon it, the root of which seize hold of the nourish ment and the plant is soon found to be club footed The roots which hould spread out over a space ol fifteen square feet are in a scram ble for a small handful of concen trated chemical food, the only thing in its reach on which it can feed, covinng two feet square, perhaps. ite plant may succeed in attaimug a fair growth as to size, but when the virtue is to be served, whea the oil, the wax, toe gluten are called or the little clump of roots cover ing two square feet cannot respond and the plant tells the planter that title was given and nine was re turned. But Low to get the otd sou re newed is the rub. "Hrst grow a crop of tobacco on a field that lias the right gnt, a clay suiwou is the best, i ou may grow the nrst crop anr aay you choose, nave im - . ... , i - rows straight 'and full four feet apart Bet your plants 3 J feci apart If your land very poor use stable manure if you have it, tr guano; anything that will grow a thrifty tobacco siaia; get it lneaiiy, com mence taking oil the leaves at the bottom as soon as they are grow a and cure them on wires, ion me crop at 18 1 of beptcmb leaves.

Just before froHtstarta two-horse blow, eiuin attachetl, along tho hue of and lucker, close alongside the iset furrow mil turn tue stalks unaer and into the first furrow; then an other furrow up on the other mkI; and thus make a ritige fr r.cst year's row of plants. You have now covered a largo mass of vcgrUtion.a full-length toweco stalk and four or five tuckers with a largo nia-ol green leaves. These contain all the element! nrce siary to grow another larger and U'lterthr'u the old one. The elements are iu a crude clitic; leave the chemistry to the nir, the water, aad the sunshine; you wi! find the potash and th ammoiii i all thi-re. In the followinsf Juuc they will be found distributed just wlure thev are needed. .1 he arumotiiated potassa and the other jawbreaking names you find on tho face of your guano sack are there too. You will find everything usual bat' the bill and the mortgage.- You will m! these, but will find instead the j raas that comes only from decom posed vegetation, and it is always left out by theeuano men; they use sand instead. This vegetable mat ter mixed with your soil will grow tobacco equal to virzm sou. The above disposition of the to bacco stalk converts it into a valu able fertilizer and removes the great est stumbling block from the path of the planter. No cartage, no housing, nor wood-hauling to cure the stalk. It becomes a Jriend in' stead of an enemy. The most illo gical and foolish business a man can be engaged in is cutting, carting, housing, aad burning wood to enra tobacco stalks. We have watched the markets and never found any quotations ou them. A field of good soil suitable for tobacco grosving, if treated as above, will continue to improve, year after year, with a continuous crop of to bacco grown on it. In setting the plants, if an early crop is desired, which I believe to be the best, the ground should be raised about two inches and some well-suited stable manure or guano should be used to start thej)lant. The fall plowing is of great service, as the frost pulver izen the soil and is serviceable in destroying the germs of cut and oth er worms that prey cpon tobacco and makes it so difficult to get a stand in the spring. Just before setting out the plants the plow hould be run back and forth through the ridge to thoroughly mix tie decayed stalk with the soil. In about four years time, a held thus treated will grow 1,000 pounds to the acre The August cured leaves will rival any tobacco in wax or flavor ever grown on virgin toiL x ne. plants must not be topped lower than 10 leaves. As the soil increas es iu fertility the plaut can be set a little closer together, or the leaves will get too large and the stems be course, tluuins of iimpson should be carefully planted on elevated and conspicuous places, liiey should receive the care and earl planting requir, d to be ready for the Junecrop of tobacco flies. Twenty-five cent' worth of cobalt and sugar mixed with water and a few drops put into theon blossom will keep mere worms oil your tobacco than you can pick ol with twenty-five dollar. Kemovmg the lower, or bottom leaves as fast as the ripen has a tendency to push tho who'e plant to maturity, and by the middle of Sep teniberloug before frost, your crop is out of tl.e way. If the leaf is bulked closely together there is no fear of it losing color -as the damp air cannot get into it, but there is an itnpromeiit m color and flavor the louger it lays, llie early cure win be ready for work by the first of Jan uary.
