Hon. H.

Hence, I advice every dairyman to select that particular cow or breed beat suited to his lands, where abo is to obtain her food, and best adapted to that branch of dairy farming in which he is epgaged. If, fur instance, your pasture lands arc rough, or ou rtcep side hills, select a small, active cow, and if bntter-makiuA is your business the Jersey or Devon and their grades from our native sows will prove satisfactory. But if eheesa- making is your business, or the d'K-tion at milk foe market, the shire is the euw.

The Pulmki (Tana.) Citisen tells of similar vines in that vicinity. Goo. I. Seney aaid : “If any one ask? you why I gave so much money to the Wealeysn Female College, of Georgia, tell them it was to honor my mother, to whom, under God, I owe more than too all the world beside. I admire the Southern women. There are po&sibiti ties in the Southern women not equaled anywhere'else on earth.” A novel but profitable industry in the mountains of North Carolina and East Tennessee is that of collecting roots (mostly laurel). The roots are shipped to Philadelphia and Boston and used for the manufacture of door knobs and pipe bowls. TV) roots frequently weigh from 75 to 160 pounds. There is a constant demand, and the prices are paid for them by the ton. The will of Gen.

The Bubstenoes used to flavor to bacco are numerous. Every manu facturer h*s his own formula Vanilla is the most common. This is employed in the form of an alcoholic tincture to flavor fillings. It is said that few cigars are free from vanilla. Its effects are not harmful if not used in exoeas. The tonka bean and balsam fir are used in the same way and for the same purpose. Cedar oil is alsd introduced. The best imitator of the tabaooo flavor is valerian. Valerian and vanilla are the most valu able chemicals now in use by tobaccon ists. By their use the poorest stem* may be converted into fair tobacco. Into and horns, with con- cigarettes enter not only valerian and J ' vanilla, bat cascarilla bark. To make cigars burn, ammonia is used, and they are soaked in saltpetre. The latter is injurious and makes young men old with dispatch. The object of its use is to cause the cigar to burn freely.
