THE TIMES, NEW BLOOMFIELI), PA , JANUARY 18, 1881. HOUSE, FARM AND GARDEN. Tobacco Stripping. 1JY MILTON H. ESI1LEM AN. .When the leaves and rib of the To biicco are dry any time after Nov. 1st, that the weather becomes rainy, or the Air damp enough to soften the leaves, so that they can be crumpled In the hand and not be In the least broken, then It can l taken down from the poles. Have help enough so that you can pass the laths down one at a time and pile them carefully on the floor, when that is done, take a lath and plac ing one end on the floor press the stalks down uutil you can pull the lath out Then place each grip neatly on a double rank, so as to protect the tops of the leaves, when done, this pilecan be cover, ed by something to keep the air away until you have time to strip it, or you can proceed at once If you do hot have more than you can strip while the damp spell lasts. In stripping, take each stalk In your left hand, remove the four lower leaves, and as many more as are sanded, torn, dead, or broken-backed, call them fillers, and lay them straight with butts even, when you get enough 'to make a sheaf tie it with straw or soft rope, and pile the sheaves in a double rank, lapping the tops and pressing to gether to make the pile nearly air-tight. Then if It is to lay awhile before being tied up, cover with blankets, bags or car pet. Moisten the covering on the out elde, and cover over this, bundles of cornfodder mowed together and it will keep in good condition for months of cold weather. Strip off the good leaves lu the same way, tie in sheaves and rank up in the same way, and cover even more care fully unless you cau take it at once to the cellar, and in the cellar be careful to never let the rank touch the wall nor be nearer than eight inches to the cellar floor. SORTING. Prepare a warm cellar, or small room with rlre, so as to be comfortable, and a large table or two, appoint your most careful and steady man to do the sorting, for it is the most important post in con nection with tobacco culture. Let him when he brings in a sheaf of the good tobacco place it on one end of the table and examine each leaf singly, put only the perfect ones with good color on the wrapper pile, and all worm-eaten, green spotted or scabby leaves on the pile of seconds, and as he finds some not fit for seconds he will put them by to go with the tillers ; if he Is smart it will require three men to size and tie as fast as he sorts. This they do by stretching the leaves singly on the table, according to lengths until they get ten leaves of the same length or within an inch. Tie them up and call it a hand. Make the the tie as short as possible and neat, close to the butts, but not to cover the ends, so that if there is any fat ribs, or dampness in them it may work out without causing mould. Every eve ning the new work should be piled up nicely an double ranks. Many farmers measure them and pile all together that are two feet long, and over, and call them No. 1 wrappers and the balance No. a wrappers, and if there is much of it long leaves, it is better for them to do so. The seconds must be sized, tied and piled the same way, and the fillers must be tied and piled but it don't pay to size them. When done cover the piles with cloths, close as you can, but don't put any weight on them, for it will cause the tobacco to heat and it will lose weight. Every Tobacco Farmer should iave good credit for neatness and hones ty, lor one crop, aids or hinders the sale of the next in a great degree. BALING. The tobacco should remain on rank until sold for - there is a much better opportunity for the dealer to examine It; when sold then prepare to bale it. Make a box three feet long and fifteen inches wide inside measure and two and one half feet high, open above and below, and having the lowev end a triile larger each way than the top. At one side make a door hung on hinges to open downwards eight inches wide and twelve inches from the bottom have three balls of tobacco rope, and place the end of one ball under the middle of the door, the ball being behind the box, the rope over the back and down on the bottom, fix the other ropes one on each side of the first and six inches from the end of the box, then shut up the door, fasten with a button and it will hold the ropes tight. Then pack the tobacco in one hand at a time, butts against each end, iu regular layers until the box is marly full, then you must have a strong plank Ud that will go into the box, witli grooves cut iu the lower side of it, straight with the line of the ropes, stretch the ropes across the box, so they will be iu the grooves and press the. lid down by jack-ecrew or lever until it comes to the bottom of the door, then open it and you can pull the ropes ' through the cuts in the lid and tie each one very firmly, then cut off the ropes remove the pry, lift the box and the bale will drop out. When you. pack the short bands place a plauk or two up right in the ends of the box, and have a shorter lid with grooves nearer together. . The bales must be piled up closely and kept covered, if (be outside should get too dry when they must be bundled moisten cloths and bang them over the fille; in no cate permit water to come nto contact with the leaf.
