Raisin? Tobacco.
By Col. Robt. L. Raglaud.J ,
The time of sowing, varus with the lat
itnri. variatv and season. Between the
parallels of 35 and 40 degrees north lati
tude, compassing tbe great tODacco , pen,
beds may be sown any time between the
1st of January and 20th of March, and the
sooner the better for the bright grades,
which ought to be planted early to ma
ture, ripen and yellow, preparatory to
being cured jearly in the fall,-'whet tbe
most successful curings are usually inade.
Yellow tobaeco ought to be planted out
in Slay, bat June plantings usually do
best in heavy dark grades. , The, Ranter
will obiuultju interest by aowmg'at a
proper time to suit the grade be desires
to raise.
Plants set out after the 10th of 'July
rarely, pay for growing and handling apd
if aot planted by that time, it will bf Wise
to plant the hills in peas, potatoes, or
something else.
As soon as the plants become "square,"
i. e. have four leaves, you may begin to
force their growth, if necessary. Nothing
is better at this stage of their growth than
to apply dry stable manure, rubbed- fine,
and sowed over the bed applying at the
rate of five bushels to every hundred
square yards. Be sure to have it dry and
fine, and apply when the plants are :dry.
This is a favorable time to apply a good
fertilizer, and the best time to apply it,' is
during a shower, or when its is apparent
that one is impending.
It the "fly, as it is oailed, begins to
devour the young plants, apply plaster,
id which rags saturated with kerosene oil
have lain for a few hours, covering t he
plants "with the plaster, if necessary to
keep' the little pests from devouring them.
Repeat the application after every rain
nnutss the flies have left.
AT covering of green cedar brush has
driven off the fly when other remedies
failed and saved the plant. If the flies
are" numerous, the planter can save plants
only by vigilsnl and constant attention.
Hard burning, early and thick sowing;
liberal and frequent applications of ma
nure, are the best safeguards, which rare
ly fail to reward tbe planter with an ear
ly and full supply of stocky plants, and
with some left for bis less provident neigh
bors. Some planters, if such may be
oaUed always fail some never. Follow
the latter' and you will always be right.
Canvas covered beds are, the surest pro
tection, and seem tbe best every way.
Preparing and Seeding Ground fur
Meadows.
The practice of sowing grass and clover
alone without any so-called foster crop is
becoming general. It is found that sup
posed nursing orop has quite a different
effect from fostering or encouraging the
tender grass, but chiefly robs and destroys
it, unless the soil is unusually rich. The
more successful praotioe is to prepare the
soil by thorough plowing, rolling is neces
sary, and harrowing so as to procure a
fine tilth, and sow the seed early in the
spring without any accompanying crop.
The preparation of the soil in the spring
is complete by a dressing of fine manure,
and a thorough harrowing, a shallow
plowing, being given if necessary. Har
rowing will be sufficient in the majority
of eases. After a fine harrowing the seed
soWO; A mixture will be found most
satisfactory. Mixed crops, as a rule, yield
in proportion to the increase of seed.
Thus a usual seeding of timothy or clover,
or both, will give a certain quantity of
hay; if orchard grass is added, a crop of
hay, will be taken equal in amount to that
expeoted from tbe timothy or clover, but
two or three weeks earlier. A second
crop may be taken later of which the
timothy will furnish the bulk, and the
orchard (trass will fill up the -bottom. If
Kentucky blue grass is added, or Rhode
Islaqd bent, a later crop will be given,
Which can be mowed for rowen,' or will
give the best fail pasturing without in
jury to the root of the timothy or orchard
grass. The mixture here indicated is one
that may be suggested for trial. It has
been tried and found successful and de
sirable in all oases, and deserves a more
extended application. The seed has been
sown in the following proportions: One
bus n el of orchard grass, one naif basnet
of Kentucky blue grass, one half bushel of
Rhode Island bent, ten pounds of timothy,
and six; pounds of red clover. 1 be blue
grass appears later than the others, ami
fills up the vacant spaces left by the fail
ing clover, which disappears after the
second year. The advantage of the mix
ture is chiefly thai a fine bottom is pro
duced, which covers and protects the
gfouud between the slooU of the coarser
grisses, and which furnishes a second
crop for hay and a third for pasture. ' For
soiling purposes tbe mixed ' seeding is
more useful than for pasturage, as the
grass may be cut at any season without
danger or injury from a dry spell, lbese
particulars are more pertinent for the
Spring than the present season, yet if one
would avail himself of them he must make
preparation now, and not delay. Ameri
can Agriculturist.
At this season of the year bran is
a most exoellent food for cows. The ten
dency at this stage in gestation is to the
making of fat ana the shrinkage of milk.
Bran is a flesh-former but not a fat-former
aud.'if Ted judiciously will correct the
above mentioned tendency. Milk at this
season is the most valuable with all
spring-calving cows, and with a little care
andjoreeigbt the shrinking tendency spo
ken oJlcau be avoided and a larger profit
realized.
fpJT .Corn ground should be plowed, if pos
sible, as soon as the weathei permits, tbe
action of the frost will render it fine and
save labor of preparation later in the sea
son. One mistake,usually made with corn
is that of not thoroughly pulverizing the
soil previous to putting io the seed. As.
th? ground caan,ot be planted .before dan
ger of. frost has passed, time may be ob
viated by performing tbe work ' of prepa
ration early, not only by plowing but. by
frequent harrowing.
tS7 Almost every, month in the year
there, is something that should be done in
the orchard. Now it is the borers to look
after. Look at the trunk ol the tree near
the ground, for the ohips thrown .ont,
which look somewhat like sawdust. 'When
found the hole will usually be seen just
above them. Next with a sharp pen
knife enlarge the hole a little, and pnt in a
fine " wire about as large as a knitting
needle. ; yTbis will easily follow him to his
retreat, and a slight thrust will stab him
to, deatb. ' ' . -
' Plants may be kept from freezing
in ft very cold night by ligbticg the oil
store, and placing it near the window.
The Marks of a Good Milker.
1. A good milk cow must be able to
eat a great deal of food. Milk, cannot .be
made without something to make it from.
The cow does jiot secrete .milk r from"" 'the
air, but from the food she eats. To eat
a great deal ' a cow must have a strong
jaw, and we may put this down as one of
the marks of a good; milker. A strong
jaw does not necessarily require a big
bead, at least what is called a bull's bead,
large in the upper part, but ' a strong
lower jsWj with strong muscles to operate
iti ' Any expansion of the bead in other
directions may be a detriment as drawing
from her food to support it.'
2. A good milker must digest a great
deal of food. This requires an ample
stomach or stomachs, for the cow has four.
A large stomach is , indicated internally
by a large 'abdomen and great breadth
between the hips,' or great breadth ol
loins.' A judge of cows will tell yon that
a cow should be wedge-shaped, tapering
from abdomen to nose.
S. A good milker will have large milk
veins that is, large veins leading to the
.odder, under the belly. Those large
veins indicate a large milker.
' i: Whether what is called tbe es
cotobeon, the portion of the hind part of
the ndder and adjaoent parts on which
the hairs turn back in opposition to the
general direction of the hair, is any indi
cation ot the milking qualities of the cow,
is a disputed Question. Many believe
that where it is large it indicates a good
milker, where small a poor one. Others
put no faith in it.
5. A soft, velvet feeling of the skin,
and a ricb, yellow color, especially in the
inside of the ears, is believed io indicate a
rich milker, at least, if not a very large
one. It is believed to show a tendency
to form fat, and consequently butter.
A farmer who follows dairying and
means to succeed will not tail to make
himself familiar with all these good points
in milkers, and he will sek to test these
points by close observation for himself.
If be finds that cows' having these good
points most largely developed are uni
formly tbe best milkers, be will be con
firmed in bia belief of their significance,
and he will study the cow with tbe view
to ascertain all the indications of good
cows, declining all that lack them, how
ever fine they may be in all. other re
specie.Atnerican Rural Home.
Manure.
When we once consider manure as a
crop, we will take just as much pride in
making a big crop of manure as of corn,
and we will no more allow part ot the ma
nure crop to go to waste than we would
part of the wheat or hay crop. Generally
but little can be charged against the pro
duction of the manure crop; all the cost is
often the expense of harvesting this crop.
On the most fertile farms this crop is
worth to the farmer several times the cost
of harvesting it. And it is the greatest
wonder of our farming that we do not
start out with a determination to make a
better manure crop than our neighbor, as
we start out to make a better oat, potato
or tobacco crop. Tbe cleanly man will
harvest a large manure crop, because he
will gather up all refuse and put it in a
compost heap. He will have clean sta
bles, clean - barns,' clean yards a clean
farm; and cleanliness is the preserver ot
health. Thus we see that while the
wheat or potato Crop supplies strength
and energy, the manure crop, closely gath
ered and well kept, revents the -agents
of disease from stealing away that
strength. Pride in the , manure crop
goeth before health and wealth. Ameri

. Or Black Veptcmy. is a disease which is considered
incurable, but it baa yielded to the curative proper
ties of fcwirr'a Srecmc-noir known all over the
world aa K S. 8. Mr. Bailer, of West Somenrille,
- Mat?., near Boston, was attacked aeveral years age
-with thia hkUxwn black eruption, and waa treated by
the bet medical talent, who could only say that the
disease was a specie of
JLEPROSY-
and consequently Incurable. It ta impossible to de
scribe her sn Serines. Her body from the crown ol
her head to the soles of her feet was a mass of decay,
masses of flesh rotting off and leavrog great cavities.
Her nosers festered and three or four nails dropped
OB. at one time. Her limbs contracted by the fearful
alceration, and for several years she did not leave
her bed. Her weight waa reduced from 125 to 60 lbs.
Perhaps some faint idea of her condition can be
gleaned from the fact that three pounds of Cosmo
tine or ointment were nsed per week in dressing net
sores. F.ully the physicians acknowledged theii
defeat by thia Block Wolf, and commended the aof
terer to her all-wise Creator.
, Her husband hearing wonderful reports of the use
at Swift's Specific (3. S. 8.), prevailed on her to
: try it as a last resort. She began its use under pro
test, but soon found that her System waa being re
lieved of tae poison, as the sores assumed a red and
healthy color, aa though the blood waa becoming
: pore and active. Mrs. Bailey continued the S. 8. 8.
until last February; every sore was healed; she dia
carded chair and crutches, and was for the first timt
in twelve years a well woman. Her husband, Mr.
C. A. Bailey, is In business at 17tf Blackstone Street,
Boston, and will take pleasure in giving tbe detaili
of this wonderful cure. Send to ua for Treatise ot -Bipod

"it Saved My Life"
la a common expression, often heard
from those who have realized, by per
sonal use, the curative powers of Ayer'a
Cherry Pectoral. I cannot say enough
in praise of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, be
lieving aa I do that, but for its use, I
should long since have died from lung
troubles. E. Bragdon, Palestine, Tex.
About six months ago I bad a severe
Ileraorrhage of the Lungs, brought on
by a distressing Cough, which deprived
ine of sleep and rest. I bad used vari
ous cough balsams and expectorants, -without
obtaining relief. A friend ad-
vised me to try .
Ayer's Cherry Pectoral.
I did so, and am happy to say that it
helped jne at once. By continued use -this
medicine cured my cough, and, I
am satisfied, saved my life. Mrs. E.
Coburn, 18 Second St., Lowell, Mass.
- I have used Ayer's Cherry Pectoral
for over a year, and sincerely believe I
should .have been in my grave, had it
not been for this medicine. It has cured
me of a dangerous affection of the lungs,
for which I had almost despaired of ever
finding a remedy. D. A. McMullen, '
Windsor, Province of Ontario. .""
Ayer's Cherry Pectoral saved my life.
Two years ago I took a very severe Cold
. which settled on my lungs. I consulted
physicians, and took the remedies they "
prescribed, but Jailed to obtain relief
until 1 Wjran using Ayer's Cherry Pec-
- toral. Two bottles of this medicine1
completely restored my health. Lizzit.
