Maj. Rajtland on Cuttintr and Housing
Tobacco, -
From the Industrial South.
Do not be in a harry to begin catting
your tobacco until it is ripe, and enough
folly and uniformly ripe to fill a barn. A
thin butoher or shoe knife, well sharpened
and wrapped with a soft cloth around the
handle and extending an inch along the
blade, will do the work effectually and
be easy to the hand. ' Try it. Fat knives
into the hands of experienced cutters only
men who know ripe tobacco, and will
select plants uniform in color and texture
and will cat no other. Have sticks all
ready in the field, and placed in piles con
renient sticking a stick vertically io the
ground over each pile that they may be
more easily found when wanted. Pine
sticks, rived three-fourths of an inch by
one and one-fourth inoh, and one-half foot
long, drawn smooth, are best.
Start together two cotters and one
stick holder the cutters oarrying two
rows eaoh and the stick bolder walking
between them. The outter takes hold of
the plant with his left hand at the top
near where the knife enters the stalk;
with his right he splits the stalk down the
centre (observing to guide the knife so as
not to sever the leaves) to within three
inches of the point he intends to sever the
stalk from the hill ; as the knife descends
his left hand follows the slit or opening,
and when the plant is severed from the
hill, by a dexterous movement of the left
hand the plant is straddled across the
stick in the hands of the holder. When
the stick has received about six medium
plants, if intended for brights, it is ready
to go to the barn, either carried by hand
if near, or hauled on a wagon if distant.
If it is necessary to use the wagon, pre
pare a bed sixteen feet to bold three coops
on piles, on which place tobacco as cot,
and after placing twenty-five or thirty
sticks of cut tobacco on each coop, drive
to the barn to be unloaded.
Tobacco suitable for brights is best
handled in this way, as it is bruised less
than is bandied by any other mode. Try
it planters, and know for yourselves.
Very heavy tobacco will break less if,
after being cut by the above mode, the
sticks are placed gently on the ground
and the plants allowed to wilt before re
moved to the barn. But tobacco of
medium size bruises less to handle it with
out wilting. Cutting and housing by
thie mode you never have any sunburned
tobacoo. For brights, it has been found
best to commepce curing at once, as soon
as the barn can be filled.
Trees in Fields.
It is a serious mistake to allow a living
tree of any kind to remain in a cultivated
field. In saying this we make do excep
tion ol orchard or fruit trees. The corn
or cotton field is no place for an orchard,
and it is uo place for any living tree, or
plant of a perennial kind.
Living trees in a cultivated field drain
the soil of its' moisture, they shade the
soil and crop, and so rob it of light, heat
and fertility, and the constant dripping of
water from the boughs, of a wet season,
is a sure death to most crops. Crops
rarely amount to anything under the
shade of trees. At the same time the
land is ploughed and traveled over and
cultivated, as if it was jost as productive
as the rest of the field, thus very much
increasing the cost of cultivation while
the orop is being diminished. In a dry
time the yield of a field is often so far di
minished by the presence of trees as to
amount to a positive failure of the crop.
. The rale should be to exclude all trees
from a ploughed field. The plough should
be carried over none but fertile, produc
tive ground. Every foot of barren land
passed over augments the cost of crops
by increasing the time and labor and di
minishing the yield. Not surface extent,
but depth, wealth and continuity of soil
is the key to successful farming. There
should be no breaks, no patohes of un
fruitful ground, no stumps, stones, sur
face ditches or anything else to break up
the surface of a field into a patch work
of poverty and unfruitfulness.
Of all the impediments in a tilled field,
the living trees are perhaps the worst.
They spoil a large surface of ground, and
they are never done robbing soil of its
strength so long as they continue to grow.
If a man has unlimited capital and wants
to preserve a tree for its seathetio&l effect,
he can spare the trees and rob the crop,
at the same time that he robs his purse.
But the ordinary farmer, making a busi
ness, cannot tolerate such drawbacks.
The farm field ' is not a lawn or pleasure
ground, and any living plant but the
crop to t be cultivated, and especially a
tree, is decidedly out of place there.
Plant orchards, pleasure grounds, parks,
lawns, but don't ' think to grow corn or
wheat in them. ' That is not the style of
farming for the times. The largest yield
per acre, at tb smallest cost per pound
or bushel, is the line of policy to follow
oat now. Cat away the tree from the
ploughed fields. Rural Messenger.
, Topping Tobacco. An experienced
farmer says: Top early. If delayed till
the plants are about to bloom, the large
wound that it will be necessary to make
in removing the top will cause the plants
to bleed freely, very much to their injury,
and much of the vigor of the plant that
should go to broaden the leaf will be
thrown away.
- Secondly, top low. Leave only uine to
eleven leaves exclusive of the primers,
and remove suckers promptly. The safe
rule is, top as soon as the bud can be
reached, and top low rather than high.
Do not let the plant waste its powers in
growing seed buds that you do not want,
rather than broad leaves that you do
want. Sucker promptly.
Digging Early Potatoes. The rou
tine work of the farm must be kept up,
however, whether time is found for mak
iog improvements or not. The early po
tatoes will ripen soon, and it is better to
take them out of the market before the
fall rains. ' They certainly do not grow
much after the tops are dead, and they
do not improve either in eatiog or keep
ing by being left too long in the ground
after they are fully ripe. See that they
are perfectly dry when taken in from the
field, and if they are not to be marketed
at once they should be kept in a dark, cool
place, but not where it is very damp.
Work every hour, paid or unpaid:
see only that thou canst not escape thy
reward. Whether thy work be fine or
coarse, planting corn or writing epics, so
only it be honest work, done to thine own
approbation, it shall earn aieward to the
sense as well as to the thought. No mat
ter how often defeated, you are born to
victory. ' The reward of a thing well done
.is io have it . -
Peas and Beans 'Harvester. j
The latest and most improved invention
of the age, it is said, is made in North
Carolina, and by a North Carolinian. ' It
is a harvester for either peas; beans or
rice. 1 Nothing of its kind has been at
tempted before this. Mr D. O. Savage is
the inventor and patentee. The Snow
Hill Enterprise says that seven acres
have been harvested, shelled, cleaned and
put in sacks,' ready for market, in one
day, at a cost of about two cents per
bushel. One man and two horses with
the machine can do the work easily, rapid
ly and effectually. " '
j
' Putting Away Potatoes :
Every method has been tried by farm
ers to store and preserve their potatoes
through the winter, and, we may say,
until potatoes come again, says the Ger
mantown Telegraph. It is the most val
uable of all vegetables, though here and
there we find a person and a writer who
undertakes to tell us of its unwholesome
ness. It is universally consumed in all
civilized countries, as where it cannot be
grown it is imported, which can be done
long distances without injury, when veu
tillation is attended to. In storing pota
toes, several methods are adopted, yet
they are all practically the same, the ob
ject being to protect them against freez
ing, whether buried in pits or stored in
cellars. The first consideration is to keep
them in perfect darkness; the next is, the
bins should not be deep not over three
feet to produce warmth and cause them
to sprout. When stored in the field,
straight.trencb.es are dug, say twenty feet
in length and four or five wide, which
are filled to the depth of three feet with
potatoes, then well covered with straw,
on top of which put eighteen or twenty
inches of earth. In a pit twenty -feet
long there should be about three gas
escapes, or ventilating openings, which
should be plugged with straw and cov
ered with a board set at a right angle to
turn the rain. If in cellars, barn or other
wise, the bios should be covered with
rugs, old carpets, and straw. Those in
tended to be kept for late spring sales
should be frequently examined and sprouts
removed; for as soon as a potato begins
to sprout it loses its solidity, dryness, and
quality.
Gutting Bushes.
The bushes in the pasture must be cut
this month unless it is intended that they
shall drive out the grass. Cut them now.
Burn them where they lie as soon as dry
enough, and if they start after that the
winter's cold would kill them. Then the
roadside should be kept neat and clean
by mowing bushes and weede. In some
States the law requires the land owners
to do this, but the law is not 'enforced as
it should be. Where it is-enforced it is
more inviting. Nothing gives a place a
more neglected look than to see a tumble
down wall or fence around it, half hidden
by a rank growth of bushes and weeds.
It only needs one or two broken wagons
and machines scattered among the weeds,
and the windows of the house provided
with a supply of old hats and coats stuck
in them to give an appearance of poverty
and laziness.
A few days labor spent in cleaning up
along the roadside the farm yards would
greatly improve the looks of many a farm
and if the farm were to be jold it would
adi enough to the market value to make
it a good investment.

'Pink-Eyb. Influenza.--Pink-eye' is a
term commonly given io luuanimaiiuus
about the eye or nostrils of the horse, says
the American Agriculturist, but in - most
cases the ailment can be directly i traced
to an influenza which of itself assumes' a
variety of symptoms.; The first attention
is usually attracted by thedumpishnessor
debility of tbe horse; the eye becomes red
or blood shot and the lids swollen.aud the
lieiht pains them: i The hind legs swell
and other parts of the body become drop
