While 6 per cent, of the gross weight of cotton is generally considered the basis of estima ting the tare for ties and bag ging, it is the custom for some buyers in Liverpool to denude, say, one baie in ten or twenty, taken at hap-hazard, and after weighing the ties and bagging carefully, make an average per bale of the result. This makes the tare actual, and in the ease of lots entirely wrapped in col on, would copcede the planter all he demands. The adoption of a uniform Weight of covering obviates even this trouble.

Detroit Iree Press. HOW TO MASAOE THE Vtlf sf T - rnor. For the present crop finer j curing ia the only mode whih will make types of.it that will pay. The best which can be made of the '89 crop is to cure it yellow for wrappers, cutters and smokers. To cure it with smoke is to make 'nondescript' stuff which no individual, gov ernment or trade wants, except at a ruinously low price as a substitute. Men raise tobacco for the profit they calculate on realiz ing from the crop, and not as fancy amateurs; and to realize any profit therefrom, theprod uct must be such to meet the prevailing demand now, imd likely to remain so for years to come, is mainly for sweet flav ored flue or sun and air cured stock; and to ignore or fail to meet it, is to invite failure every time. As 'field fire' is almost sure, after so wet a summer as this has been, prudence and econo my dictate that the best plan to save the present crop, is to pull the bottom leaves from the stalk as they yellow, and cure in field bains on patent labor saving sticks.

Now, unless vou wish to buy something you had better be going." "Mr. Stewart doesn't want to see me, you say, young man asked Mr. Dawson, dreamily. "I don't need to repeat it a third time," replied the clerk. "You had better go at once. We don't want you around the store. You will drive away custom." Just then the proprieter him self came walking down from the counting-room. "Hello. Aleck," shouted Mr. I ' iwson. The dry goods millionaire stopped and started. Then he rushed up and threw his arms around the rough old fellow in the butternut suit. ."V hy, John, where did you come from? My dear fellow I am r.erfectlv delighted to see vou.

"My car riage is ritrht at the door. Get rik'lit in and come to the tail or's. You niust have some de cent clothes right away. Where is Mrs Dawson? You must both come ritrht to my house and stav." So he ran on as he actually drae-tred his old friend to-his carriage. The of&cioiis clerk tried to keep out of sight every time he saw Mr. "Dawson coming but the latter took a malicious pleasure in running across him every time he came into the store and bowing to him.
