A LITTLE SCRIIIIIAGE, ETC
Just as hOpe vas dying out in the
'hearts of those who forget that we havg
prEgnise of 'seed time and 'hai•reit, down
earii4 the rain ; and it rained, and it rain
ed, and how glad everybody was. Well,
perhaps it Put some of us in mind to be
ashamed of our want of faith in the good
ness of Gon, and maybe not ; we are such
curious cieatures.
. LIN B.'eaLL is cons ido ralii of a stock
raiser, and rejoices in the possession
of a fine large flock of sheep. Wash
ing time came; and shearing time
'followed, then on the night following the
day of shearing came then unwelcome visi
tor or visitors and carried off all the
fleeces. LIN would . ..like to have them
brought back, but don't mnch expect
they will be, as the thieves didn't leave
any word to that effect.
As to the "scrimnitge," the story cir
culates sothething like this : It seems
that one of the daughters of HARRY BEN
sozi bad been living for several years with
RICHARD, VS - ‘ llO cared for and treated her
as a, daughter.- Sonic misunderstanding
existing between BENSON and Men...ails,
11:99nv determined to- take the girlaway
from the home of Mc:TAR:Ds. Ile accom
plished this in a- surreptitious manna,
and after eluding the efforts that were
made to regain
_pOssession of the girl for
a few days, started to place her in a
school in Susquehanna County. Rim
/imps having an:inkling of what he would
do, preceded him there accompanied by
his-brother llontivr, his wife and son
but BENSON not haying come they retrac
ed their steps. Before leaving Susque-'
banns County, however, they' met BEN
SON .with the girl on his way to the
school. The Ilicii.Amt,s party reined their
team across the road So as to form a bar
ricade and the battle- was on. Bon jump
ed out and caught lIARRy's horses by the
bits and demanded the surrender of the
girl, but It6iiilad no idea of giving up
the girl, leven though outnumbered. Be
ing a quandoon niilitary Man, he resorted
to military tactics, and bringing. him to
"aim," he propped " light it out on
that, line' if it, took all summer." The
Men:otos party deeming "discretion the
better part of valor," sitthired him to pro
ceed. BENS6N being thus triumphant
thought beltad like to do a' little more,
SO had the other party arrested-on charge
of stopping him in the highway or some
, thing else I don't know what. IlicitAnos
is a well:to:do, respectable farmer, and
he and his family-were much attached to
the girl, and she to thdm.

Our Tobacco Crop. r
One of the most important` acid ,
profitable crops now grown in Penn
sylvania is that of tobacco, and every
year the area of - ground in Which it
is planted is extended. In 1849, it is
stated the crop ofseed leaf in Connect
icut, Ohio and Pennsylvania was set
down at 6,000 cases, one-third of which
was exported and the rest sold at 14
to 16 cts. per pound to speculators.
In 1850 Pennsylvania grew 3,500
cases, the largest crop grown in the
state up to that time. Since that
time there has been an annual increase,
the crop of 1870 being the largest
yet reported. '
At the commencement of the to-
bacco season this year the farmers in
the Counties of Lancaster, York,
Lebanon and Chester were greatly
troubled with the ,cut worm, and in
some instances it became necessary
to replant two or three times. Then
came-the dry spell which lasted until
the middle of July, and during all
this time it was thought by many
that the crop would be a failure, bat
the rains came near the close of July
had the effect of kgiving new life to
the plants, and at the end of the sea
son the crop was found to be one-of
the best yet produced.
The good quality of the tobacco
here, it is said, is owing to the fact
that stable manure is used, infitcad
of guano and other
.fertilizers, as is
the practice in Connecticut and other
states. It is estimated the crop of
1879 in Lancaster, York and Leba
non, to amount to 60,000 cases of 400
pounds each, being one of the larg-
est crops ever grown in these coun-
ties. Half of this amount has al
ready been purchased by dealers,
principally those in Lancaster, and
the other half is fast coming into
market. The price for, this crop
ranges from 15 to 30 cents per pound
for tobacco suitable for wrappers ; 8
to 10 cents for - seconds and about 5
cents for fillers. A large quantity
of the tobaCco is used in the county
'for the mapuracture of cheap cigars,
this being*inp of the largest revenue
disfricts, r sei_far as this ,article is con
cerned, in the country. The entire
production this year, according to.
the estimate made by those most fa- 1
miliar with the business, is over 2-1,
000,000 pounds, which will yield : in
the neighborhood of $3 000,000. •- :
The . farmers engaged in the busi
ness plant from I to 40 acres, and,
in a good season they expect to gath
er from 1,500 to 2,000 pound; from
each acre, which yields, them , frein
$2OO to $4OO, according to thelquali-,
ty of the tobaccos The tobacco
when growing looks like a hardy,
weed, and - not at all'a, nasty one, but'
it is subject:l.o many' mishapS if not,
nursed . and 'satched' with great care.
In the first Pl'ace the land must be
rich, and if planted in tobacco every
year, heavily manured after each
crop. The seed is planted early in
the spring, generally in forcing beds,
and the young plant is set out fret])
the last of may until late in July, in
rows 33 feet apart, the planting from
12 to 18 inches 'apart. The work of
caring for the I tobacto commences
soon alter planting and continues/al
most without intermission utik/de-
livered into the "warehouss of the
purchaser. The ground must not
only be kept, clear of weeds and well
cultivated, but the worm, the worst
enemy of the. plant, must be watched:
f,r and killed as so on
,a's,„found If
these pests to the. tobacco growers
are allowed to remairb until they at
tain any size they old ruin the leaf
by eating holes in itlind thus dest Toy
it for - use as wrappers_ for cigars.,, In
Mime places turkeys are used to des
trdy the worm. The turkey not only
seams to haVc a quick eye for the
worm, but a voracious appetite Tor
them, swallowing them as if the ugly
green things were of the most dainty
character. The tobacco is cut about:
the last of August, and then hung in
buildings to dry. Thescl buildings
are. thoroughly ventilated, having,
generally slattefl openings that can
be closed or opened as the weather
is favorable or unfavorable for drying
purposes. Thr i tobacco is carefully
watched until ready for stripping. .
The tobacco barn is now one of
the most important features connect
ed with the business. The old style.
of using mann sheds, garrets or any
old buildings has nearly passed away.
The barns that have been or are now
being erected are large And costly.
All these barns have milers, which .
are indispensible for preparing the.
leaf for market, for it permits the re
moval of the tobacco from the laths,
when in stripping condition, and its
remainingdn that condition until the
grower has time to prepare for its
sale.
• •
The,farmers before . assort
the tobacco, so as to have the same
size and color, but when the dealer
gets it he re-assorts the leaf before
packing. Each bundle of a half 'doz.-
en leaves Is shaken up and examined,
and if all the leaves are • of- the same
color, size and quality it is allowed
to pass. The deficient • leaves are:
taken out and graded afterwards sep-'
arately. -Every pound is thus.pand
.led, the lower grades, of course, not
with the same care, and each grade
is put in a ease to itself, and a sam
ple of it being kept out, the sales be
ing made by the sample during the
summer, before the sweating process :
has been completed. But if he holds
on to his.tobacco until the fall or
winter, it has to ,be r'6,4nspected by
regular inspectors who are recogniz
ed by the trade, and the samples se-,
lected by them are used for selling.
purposes.
in the counties, York,Tumberland,'
and Perry there are:ia great many
hands employed in the manufacture
of cigars, and in Lancaster alone
SNO,OOO Worth of cigar - Stamps were
! . used in I SciAember Ida, which is
'equivalent to a sale of 12,000,00 ci
gars. The total amount of revenue
collected from the cigar in‘lustry of
this district for the fiscal year end
ing June 30th, 1879, was $700,806,
a production of cigars amounting to
one hundred , and sixteen million eight
hundred and eleven thousand.
Mr. F. R. Diffendertfer, of Lancas-
ter;. in a recent report' to the State
- Board of agriculture, states that to
bacco can be grown successfully
w i herever Indiancorn will mature.
As a rule, wherever the mean tem
perature during the month of July
is as much as sixty-eight . degrees
Fahrenheit tobacco can ;be 'grown.
From this it will be seen that among
the Northern , statesi nearly, if not all .
New England, central .Itew York,
Ohio, southern Michigan,. Indiana,
Illinois, and part of lowa and Wis
consin are adapted-to its cultivation,
perhaps quite as well as Kentucky
and, Virginia, irinless in seasons of un-.
usually early :frosts. But even this
disadvantage . can' be overcome •by
a careful selection of the proper

of Ouse, there is no limit, as it is
able to bear any degree of heat or
humidity the tropics have to offer.
Were it not for - our more variable
climate, there _exists no known rea
son why .brands as cboide as any
grown in Cuba might not be grown in
Pennsylvania. The readiness with
which Cubian varieties adapt them--
selves to our more , northern climate
is another evidence of the remarkable
degree of adaptability possessed by
this plant.. Temperature is the great
regulator, and we may set it dovin '
as a pretty ,safe rule, that wherever
frosts do not-occur between the mid
dle of May and - the middle of Sep-.
temberfsay a iieriol of ;one hundred
and twenty days, tobacco growing
can be'successfully 'Carried on. He
also states that the area of tobacco
cultivation is gradually extending to -
portions of the state where its.cul
ture was' unknown hitherto. Lycorn

Eggs should be

kept 16r any length of time should
always be those from young hen's, or

,those in
perfect health. If this rule is closely
observed by breeders who export e 43

have produced poultry that do not .
sit. Nature intended the hen to situ

chicks for fourcr . five weeks-longer. In
this interval the system gains tone
and strength.- It - is an entire chan"e;
a division of labor, and the fOwl

seldom drop more than sixteen in a
clutch, and then comes broodiness.
Our non-sitters are the result of -
