In the preparation of this Essay, the

himself of the experience of many
successful Planters,, whose practice
and example he had endeavored .for
years to follow; and he has also availed
himself of much of the matter in his'
former . Essays ou .the r subjcl, . Jiaving
seen since they were written, nothing
to change his views therein expressed in
regard to the culture of this great staple
of Maryland. And he would state mere-

in the community in which he lives
that from his boyhood he has been fa
miliar with the growing and general
management of Tobacco; and. for fifteen
years past has himself extensively 'culti
vated it. With these preliminary rematks
be wilJLendeavor to give a plain, succinct
and intelligible account of that culture

A rich loam is the soil for Tobacco

dry plaster or dry sifted ashes, to every
half pint of seed, and sow it regularly
in tbe same manner that jjardeners sow
small seeds, only with a heavier band.
Roll with a -hand rollrt- or tramp it with
the feet. If the bed be sown earlv in
season, it ought to be covered with leaf
less bush, but it is not necessary to cover
them after tbe middle of' March, in this
climate. Tobacco bads may be sown at
any time during winter if the ground be
not frozen or too wet. It is safest to sow
at intervals, whenever tbe land is in good
order for working never sow unless the
lapd be in good order, for the work wil
be thrown away, if the land be too moist
or be not perfectly prepared. I he beds
muat be kept free from grass and weeds
until they are no Jonger needed, and the

be well ploughed early in the spring, ta
king care to turn the turf completely un-lof

be very stiff.. .or likely to hold water near
the surface, and let the land be well har
rowed soon after tbe breaking, it up ; it
should then be kept clean, light and well
pulverized, by occasional working with
cultivators and large harrows, so. as not to
