Til K 8ECRET OE THE 1 11 CUBE -INSTKUCTION'S AND RE FLECTIONS AS TO 8E ' LECTING LAND, 8EE 1 , DING, GROWING, . CUBING, AND ' IIANDUNU. What Mr.C. M. Bird, Wbo Av cragred Over $400 Per Acre, lias to Say ou tblslmpor- : taut Subject. Any one who has ever read two or more' articles from experienced and successful growers of flue-cored to bacco must have been struck at the wide difference in the apparent treat ment'of any two houses, the wide range in degrees of heat used by aay two not agreeing by any mean; yet to one familiar with the flue-caring process it is readily seen the; all lead to the fane result, only a different way of applying' the heat, L one. of them giving over a certain number of beat degrees dunnr certain c-mdi tiooa tf the tobacco, and the sum to tal entail thing tbs sane io toe end. ' If tobacco is cultivated pro perl r and handled right when put fa the barn, inexperienced carers, with no assistance but common sense, often make the very best cores, while many intelligent men, who stick rigidly to the printed schedule, without civias any tnopgnt to tne nature of tobacco. generally fail ; and ai these facta of ten cam outsiders to think tnere it more lock than brains Involved ia a good core, we wish that erroneous impression corrected, for do man caa possibly bo a success la earing fancy bright tobacco unless he gives the subject deep study and watches and nous ia his mind s eve all the various changes as they occur with a success ful cure, so he caa repeat It under hke or approximate conditions la his next care, and make Improvements with time. There are ever arising during a planter's life new eontia gencies with each Tear, some favor able and many very unfavorable; so h is tne close observer wbo prepares himself for these happenings, one of which is a sudden fall and also floe tasting temperature, which reo aires extraordinary skill to overcome, since the best planters make total failures during sncn times, they not being able w control or ootain a proper, uniferm beat in the barn unless very watch ful. There is no time for sleep, as every moment most be seed ia watch ing tne outside and inside thermome ter, to see that there are just so many degrees of artificial heat, according to the printed schedule, making the basis or normal atmospherical heat SO degrees to work on. Fr every ;de gree that the outside temperature falls below ou aegrees oaring curing, be mart drop as many decrees by the Inside thermometer that is, follow the fluctuations of the outside tber memeter right along. To make it plainer: Should the planter reach the point of Ut. Bird's schedule, where 185 degrees were called for, ( which means 105 degrees of artificial heat, added to 80 degrees of tde out' side temperature ) and the outside temperature suddenly rails to 40 do grees, should the planter, under such conditions, run his heat op to 185 de grees he would have 145 degrees of artinciai beat, tasteaa oi loo, mace the outside thermometer, on which he had been basing his heat schedule, had fallen 40 derrees. makine? the equivalent of 225 degrees on tho basis of a warm day's temperature, which would cook the tobacco, if it did not destroy the bars by Are. 8o It is each sadden drops of temper at are that always con.'use the carer, and this is why we advise sarly planting and early cutting, while the weather is still warm, day and night, doing away with the necessity and vexation of keeping nb with the fluctuations of freaky weather. We quote sir. ureea m. Bird, or Putnam county, west Virrinia. at oar most recent guide in rains fanev bright tobacco, tne way to curt it wbsa the weather if favorable, and the approximate way, when the we at a er is chilly and fluctuating, and ia order to tavor these conditions it will alwavi be necessary to have. In the first place, suitable land, then sarly Dianu, eariy seiunr, ana earn cat- tin. WeeivsMr. Bird's, personal experience, si related to tu, which can bo varied, since his best tobacco lands is a southeastern exposure, ly ing; high, with perfect dratnge. An oth,r planter's best lands might be a southwestern exposure, while an other's might be a strictly southern exposure, which, with the same soil conditions, weuld be the best of all. 8o there is no arbitrary rale as to the best land, just so they all have about ths same timber growth, and exposed well to tne sun, ana consist or i gravelly subsoil, underlying a gray tsh vegetable mould ot sufficient strength to mske the plant fairly la'ge and at the same time or a silkv texture. The timber growth of Mr. Bird's tobacco Und is oak, hickory, black gum, dog wood, spice wood, snd a fom scattering eLestno' The land, which averaged him respectively $15 00 and 43 00 per hundred for two separate crops, and 1, 100 pounds per sets, Is a gray soil, garvelly, overly lag a yellowy day subsoil, and was assisted by a liberal supply of good fertilizer. Those who are not rav ored with this kind of timber growth ana sen conditions can get as near them as possible, since the object is to avoid a very rich, deep msec soil, which is mors suitable for the heavy mahogany k'n d. and they are harder to cure yellow, owing to ths excessive gum ana sap in tne tear, ana as nar.i to hold, the color when a successful cure caa be sffVoted, . In addi ion. let ns add: The to bacvo planter too ofter selects ths largest, coarsest plants for "seed" when he ouzbt to select the average size and smoothest, then prams the top dewn to mlr a fw branches, so the seed will be larger and healthier, consequently impart mors life to tbs plant. We recommend oar patrons to Major B. L Bagland, of Hycb. Halifax county, Va , for improved' seed of all varieties cultivated in Virginia and West Virginia. To make good tobacco you' must hvs good seeds to s'art with, and if yoa are going to savs you rows seed, be careful to ehoese such as will prove a benefit and show Improvement, for any Intelligent farmer knows that, in the case of corn, if ho select seeds front a "aubbW he cannot expect to get any fine Sars of corn; and Jast so with tobacco, yoa cannot expect to get a gocd quality of tobacco from imperfect seed. Therefore, always select the best yea hare, and if you have not that which yoa can depend ob, get it elsewhere, and from some one whom yon know has it part aad of best quality. We give Mr. C M. Bird's circular below. Very respectfully, Ciaa A Diciwsoia, Commission Merchants for the sale of Fancy Bright Tobaccos and Kea tacky Barley, tuebmond. Vs. ck. bird's raoemt. I always clear my land ths fall or winter preceding cultivation of every particle of timber, large aad small. and free tho soil from ail roots. Whan sufficiently dry all Is burned with the leaves, and ashes raked nni- formlf over the whole. Then pious-a closely with a short steel bull-tongas or shovel, no deeper than the veg stable rnouH, aad follow with a har row until! the soil Is hks a garden spot. I now (peculiar to .myself) checkoff my rows three aad ose4aii reel apart by ploughing deeper than usual, and dropping compost or chemical fertiliser two (1) feet abart and make the hills right vvsr tho fertiliser. My object In fur rowing tne i an a aeeper being to puce the manure beyond the reach of a oommoa droaght and also below the immediate contact of the young plant, as such would give it a hasty, abnor. mal growth, aad, should a wet season follow, spoil ths crop. To make fancy tobacco early planting Is absolutely necessary, so it eaa mature la ths sarly fall, when the mean tsmheratore averages about eighty degrees day and night, and when sudden drops of um per stare seldom Interfere with the earing. My crop Is generally la the rroui d between tho 8th and 20th ot May, as near too awn to iota as possible, lly tobacco-Acids are now ia such excel lent order that very little hoe labor is required, and this should commence then the plant takes a bills root. with great care, by drawing a little fresh soil around the plant. The second aad last cresting should be rirea whsa ths piaot ha wsll covered the hill, which should be done very lightly, so as not to disturb ths roots, as such disturbance would earns it to take dseper root and a second growth, which would incline the plant to coanenoss, tendering It more difficult to cure yellow, and at the same time making it less valuable for fancy wrappers, cutters, aad smokers, as an exeess of fibre and rank green would unfit it for fancy work.

A will has just been offered for proa bate that is something out of the ordinary, says a Calcutta (India) let ter. A great Mahometan dignitary died recently, and his will, which he left behind him, deserves mention. This dignitary, a native of Oade, mads his will according to the Anglo-Indian law, devising his landed estates to his nearest relatives. No mention what ever w made ia his will as to the way ia which his personal property, which is evidently considerable, should be disposed of. He leaves etch of his servants a small legacy, and a large quantity of advice, interspersed with a liberal amount of citations from the Koran. He thinks that it would bo advisable to sell bis furuitare and jewels, but be cannot make pp his mind, as to the method of telleng them. He strongly objects to having his furni tars and valuables sold by auction, and he also dots not want them to be hawked about . privately. If pur chasers will come forward on their own account and pay a fair price for any of his valuables, he has no objec tioa to such sale, otherwise his house hold goods, etc, are to remain ia bis two palaces. As to his female servants, he con siderable apologized to them for dy ing. The Mawab says la bis will that his bouses in Bagdad and Eazlmaia contain precious jewels, gold aad silver rupees, sovereigns, bupoleons, Turkish coins and costly furniture. or which there is no account. Tne property in the outer apartments is ia the hands of two male servants, one of whom caa read and writs; while the property ia ths inner apartments is ia the hands of female servants. To these female servant, black and white, be leaves a thousand rupees each, and requests that they shall be allowed to leave the houses tiler pro per abologies have been made to them. After a recommendation to his female servants to lead a life of chastity and honor, he recommends that super fluons articles should be sold, but not by auction. Oae Is not to so rouna with and sell them, lest they form the subiect of ioke and purcha sers utter words bad and unbecoming. The Nawab's an'mals are to be sold at a just price, but as regards these hs also has a terrible fear that they may be hawked shout sad fools should crack Jokes over them. Finally, ho recommends all his servants, male and female, to abstain from unlaw ful deeda. Probably the Bones of Old Bot tlers. While the worklngmea employed In Isying a new track of tbs New York, Ksw Usvea ft Hartford Bail road were excavating near Bronx Kills on wedoeedty, they came across some old skeletons Ijing areiatt aa old sunkea stone wall. The bones were lying ia a promiscuous heap. aad from ths history ot ths region they are supposed to be the remains of tho early settlers who fell io a battle with the Indiana. Pieces of oil-fashioned muskets and several rusty canteens wars also found doss by. It is im possible to estimate how many bodies are represented in the crumbling bones. The police removed the bones In a lares box to ths Harlem Morgue. Old residents la Harlem ssy that the place where ths bones wars ioua was at one time, whoa Manhattan Island was sold by tbs Indians for a few copper coins, ths scene of many sjisree fight between tho white aad red men.
