There arc two kinds of soil favored by tobacco farmers. One is the rich black or dark brown soil, with a deep subsoil of gr..y ; the other a lii?ht top soil with a subsoil of clay. South Carolina affords both these conditions. The former soil suits the culture of the heavy seed leaf; the litter is adapted to the now famous yellow or bright tobacco, which has brought so much wealth to North Carolina, and has actually revolutionized her agriculture in ten years. In South Carolina and North (Jeoriria to bacco can bo grown successfully, and it is a question of time only, and perhaps a very short time, when that culture will be an important part of agricultural enterprise. It is doubtless tho case that the bright tobacco will he grown in your State, and as the directions for its cultivation apply with practically equal force to the dark tobacco they are given. These directions are given by a veteran tobacco grower in (iranvillc, tho most famous tobacco growing county in the world. I'llKI'AltATlON OK SKKIt HKUS. Select a tine, gray moist spot, with sunny exposure, along tho hollows or near little drains in tho woods, llako off the leaves and lay dowu small poles?about three inches in diameter?four or live feet apart, all over the size you wish the bed. Through the middle, on a width of eight or ten feet, cover with wood eighteen or twenty inches deep. Chink in with dry wood and brush sufficient to burn till the 'skiil^' or poles beneath are consumed. Now, with hooks or hoes fastened to long handles, pull the remaining wood and chunks in opposite directions over a space of six or eight foot; throw on enough wood to burn as before, j and so continue till all the space is gone over. Now clear off the chunks and coals, and hoe up with grubbing hoes to the depth of about three inches, taking care to loosen the soil without bringing the clay to the surface. Now make a liberal application of hog pen or hen manure invviouslv nro pared by chopping lino. This is then chopped in with hilling or weeding hoes and the soil made perfectly line by repeated rakings. If the location is H it lay oil' in beds six feet wide, with small shallow trenches between lor drains. It rolling, none will be need: J. The bed is now ready Ibr the seed. Mix well in about a peck of ashes, mse tablespoon fill of seed to each forty square yards. Mark oil' with hoe or rake handle in widths of about four feet, and sow over, using about half the seed ; then |<( _ l# #?.,.! tilO tHiltl tiott. I XI to I is done to scour: regular seeding. Now Lratnn the patch over with the feet or compress the soil with a small roller, cover thickly with brush, fence in and diteh around to keep off surface water. T1MK nut I'll KI'A It ATI* X of l?KI?S. The beds can be thus pr -pared it any time, when ti e soil is sufficiently dry. from the loth of November to the Istol March, and no further attention will be needed till1 the plants are well up and square or have four leaves. At this stage the 'nursing' must h"gin. Sprinkle over at midday, or early in the afternoon, some line concentrated fertilizer at the rate of half a peek per fifty square yards, once or twice a week, ami increase uio <|tiautiiy as me pimis grow. Fresh stable or lien in inure, dried in tho sun and finely pulverized, an 1 applied at the rate of half a bushel ? more or less, according to strength ? to the fifty sipiare yards is about the best substitute for a concentrated fertilizer. The point is to bring the plants on early, in time to trans plant, from the Kith to the LMth of May. Alter the plants begin to cover the ground remove the brush, pic's tint the grass and weeds, continuing to manure as before directed. Not less than forty square yards should be burned and seeded for every acre alottcd for the crop.

Smooth off these until they present a Hat surface of 15 or 20 inches in diameter and 'pat' (or strike gently with the flat side) in the centre with . the hoe. Now they are ready for setting the plants when the proper season arrives. The making of hills with the hoe is an expensive an I tedious process, but is still almost universally practiced. Kxecpt in very rough new land the following process answers etjually as well or better, and saves a great amount of time and labor. T ko two boards one and a half inches thick, six or eight inches wide, and about lour feet long. Slope one end of each to a point and back some twenty inches. Set lhoe on the edge with slopes up and nail on inch boards live feet long to cover from end to end the two pieces. Turn this itpside down and you have au implement shaped like the end of a flat boat, with staples; attach a chain to the front or pointed corners, fasten a single-tree midway the chain, and u ail on some rough handles, a single horse is liite ,cd and walks between two rows, the implement reaching over and smoothing two beds at oneo. It can be sufficiently weighted with stones or a log of wood to press down the beds as Hat as desired. After this take a light shovel plough and ttiarK across three feet apart, and the hills are made without a hoc at one-fourth or fifill the expense in the ordinary way HOW TO TUANSHiAXT TUB 1'I.ANTS. If the seed or plant beds have been well attended to, the plants will be large enough to transplant by the lirst or second week in May. This is do te alter a shower, called a 'season,' and the ground must bo sutliciontly moist to secure 'a stand.' The plant is set by means of a peg about six or seven inches long ami one inch in diameter. The poo is inserted about two or three inches deep in the hill and withdrawn, when the plant is placed in the opening anil the soil pressed to the roots. It is a rule that when the soil falls in and tills the opening made by the planting peg, the 'season' is too light and the plants will not live. If the 'season' is very wet, the soil should only be closed 'o the roots, as too much pressure will cause it to bake aud injure the plints. TIIK I'll*>1*Kit SIZK OK PLANTS.

In eight or ten days after planting, or as soon as the plants liegiu to take root, tiii; hili should be seriped down with weeding hoes.

The second ploughing follows in quick succession and the whole row is broken up by running three times with a shovel | plough.

'WORMING* AND 'SUCKBRING.' Tlu^worins are not usually plentiful or troublesome till the topping begins. Sometimes, however, they make their appearance soon after the crop is p'anted.

The crop should be gone over at least oneo if n -t twice a week. As long as it remains in 'he field the worms will continue to cut am/* t the loaves, and nothing but the mosi untiring watchfulness and labor will keep them down. Very soon after the topping is commenced the plants will begin to pour out suckers. These should be allowed to grow uiore than three or four inches before they are pulled off. lloth worming and suckering can go on at the same time, and it is necessary to go over as often for one as the other. 'Kternal vigilance' is not in this case the 'price of liberty,' but is absolutely necessary to secure a good crop with whole leaves.

FISHING FOU SNAKES. Tho writer placed a St. Patrick Hy a black June. and a lively minnow where he was direct oil *a ml gradually brought them in, not even a rock-bass arising at tho temptin.' lure. Another enst; a splash as if the father of all bass had struck, and the slender rod be it like a whip. Look out I >r hiui, cried tho expert, as a long, sl"uder object sccuicd to shoot into the air, and entwined around the line, theu sudddenly disappeared to rush off with tho line. Kills, we suggested, working carefully at the reel ari'l wishing for a donkcy-cnguie I attaehineii t. No eels about that, replied my friend, as his line rushed out, in a s uiilar manner, but snakes, and great snakes, too. Don't land hiin in the boat, he shouted, as the capture caiue wriggling over-hand in his direelion head up. Now, then! The boatman seized a landing-net and soon landed a lively black watersnake. tbr e feet long, whoso forked tongue darted out viciously, and whose eyes snapped with rage. Vou see, siid t'.ie original suake fi-herman, 1 have a Irion I who is making a collection of.snakes, ami he wanted mo to collect all I could. I didn't know how to do it without hurting them, until one day I was here and pulling along, trolling lor anything I could get, when suddenly 1 felt a jerk, and reeled in a snake larger than any I have seen here, and since theu I have caught several. I tell you, they're game, he added, and there's a regular convention of t>toin in here, as the rod bent agaiu under the pressure. It's a new thing to take a fly on a snake, said the excited ii-berman, working away; and talk ihoiil game! They've more tricks than s whole family of bass. But, to tell the truth the lirst one I took about broke up our party. As 1 said, we were pulling aloiur, and my bourn keeper sat in the stern holding the ruJ, when all at once she had a bile lliat almost took the rod out of her hands. I saw the long tail fly out of the water ami cried <>ut that it was an eel. So she reeled in, and in a minute the biggest old water-snake that you ever saw cauie rolling alongside. That settled it. Down went the rod and she took a flying leap for the bow of the boat, but the line got arouud her dress, and she somehow jerked the reptile into the boat, and 1 tell you she yilled when she saw it twisting after her. 1 gave the boat a shove, and by iuek we bit the shore, and the way we all fell out was , i caution. I landed in the water and got >110 of the flies in my leg; but my fisher. ? c? J ^ a'i t l" ; tiren ? iir. Sim struek land, however, and made lor the woods, screaming lire and murder in three languages, and that was the last L aw of her. No. sim isn't tunning yet. She broke iwnv li ' n ii;e line in going through the woods, ami walked home, and all the women loik- have combine 1 in calling me a brute .'Ver since f-r searing her halt to death. 1 get a good ducking, and, between you and in1, I was abiut as frightened as she was. flint's the way I discovered this snake lisliing, and when you get the hang of it it rather breakes up the monotony of ordinary Iishing. There is:?I ways something exciting ah ?ut it. :111< 1 when you conic down to variety it takes tin1 cake.
