HOW TO CURE TOBACCO. Valuable Directions Given by Practical Tobacconist-Follow Them. All tobacco should be cut with the first grain on it to get the best re "' f mminnr MnO' tr> hptrin With. OU1WO 111 V.U1 mm. livn t w wn... ... we have a house of tobacco cut under normal conditions. Make a good fire to warm the barn and limber the tobacco down, and after you have the barn warm,with the thermometer at 100, you can make a quick heat and run the heat up to 115 for about five minutes; then pull the fire out and drop back to 100. Now keep your heat regular till you get the tobacco in a sweat. You will then be governed by the weather; if it is hot you can run as above stated, but if it is cool weather you will have to fire 10 to 15 degrees lower, so you fka fnKonm vollnwina nieplv IWfC VU^ tv/wavvv J'.4.v ? ?- -?^ after you have fired twenty to thirty hours. Now before you raise your heat you should run up to 116 and drop back, then open your door and cool off back t<^ 95 or 100. You are trying to get the sweat off, therefore continue this process till you can run the back of your hand over the tobacco leaves and if the tobacco feels dry you can raise the heat. But , this is the particular time and you must watch the ends of the leaf and see that it does not splotch. Now to dry tobacco you must rise and fall with your heat. Say you want to dry your leaf, raise your heat to 120, then run up to 125 five minutes, then up to 130 three minutes, then open your door and cool back to 115. By rising and falling you dry the )ugs and sap the body and tips. In all cases when you want to Are at a eertain heat run 5 to 10 above that point, then fall back to where you want to fire at. This toughens the tobacco. Now when you have the leaf dry you can stay around 130 to 140 about 3 or 4 hours, to get the shoulder of the leaf thoroughly dry, and when you have that done you raise your heat to 150 and stay two hours, then you can go on and kill it out. Never run your heat over 200 degrees, as you may scorch the leaf, and that won't do. This is a general outline of curing, but you will have to learn every crop and use the general principle of curing tobacco and always try to cure your "weed" with a tinge of green, as that will run out and leave your tobacco a clear color, and color is the thing to sro aftei .as tobaccb with color brings the money, and that is what you want. Now, I will call your attention to one thing here. You must not let your tobacco get too ripe, as it is hard to cure with color and is too ^nder and brittle, so you must guard carefully against this. While you are curing, never cure a barn unless you have a bucket of water sitting at the door and use every precaution around the barn. Now that you have the tobacco cured you should take it out of the barn just as soon as it gets soft enough to handle, then have a place in your pack house to lay it down in a long bulk for a day or two,after which put it in chicken coop bulk until through curing, then ?ou can hang it up or let it lie in bulk till you get ready to grade and market the tobacco.

German Critics Appreciate Power of the Latest Entrant Zurich, Suly 2:?Referring to the arrival of American troops on French soil, the military critic of the Frankfurter Zeitung says that Germany * * 1 ? 1- a. I J i. a. I A. must doc overiooK ine iact mat American help is really very great, though it will come only by degrees. Under these conditions, he says, if Franee is obliged to restrict her military activities it will signify no strengthening of the German si tuition. The- ?ritvc thinks that entente plans for a greater offensive will be delayed and perhaps will not be carried out until the spring of 1918. Hence, he writes, there is gretter opportunity for the central powers to take the initiative. The critic of the Hamburger Nachrichten questions whether the entente will delay an offensive until the Americans arrive in France.

Safe arrival in France of the first two detachments of our army has stirred a few newspapers to fresh complaints about the secrecy of the sailing of the troops. It was all along, it is said, an open secret that they were on the 3ea. If German spies are operating here, they knew the fact as well as thousands of others. Nothing was gained by preventing the news from being printed. And how much was lost! If only the soldiers had been paraded on shore before embarking, what acclaim would have greeted them, how they would have been covered with applause and flowers, what popular enthusiasm would have been evoked, how recruiting would have leaped forward and raised the army to war strength instantly! Possibly; we may even say probably. But in imagining what might have been, we may fancy another course of events. Suppose that full publicity had been given to the assembling and departure of Gen Pershing's men; that the populace and the newspapers had had their fling; and then suppose that one of the transports had been torpedoed on the way to France, with the loss of 1,000 .1J men. military secrecy wuuiu ubvc looked somewhat different in that event. It would not have been possible, of course, to prove that a German submarine had been Riven information in consequence of advertisinR the movement, but everybody would have said that an unnecessary risk had been run, and the government and the press would have been severely blamed for not having kept the whole expedition as dark as possible. Prople would have recalled the saying of Gen Sherman that, during the Civil war, "the improper use of military news by our newspapers" had cost 100,000 lives, and would have asked, "Are we never going to learn anything? For the sake of a mere spectacular display, are we to expose our army to even a possible peril?" As a matter of fact, we think the country as a whole heartily approves the secrecy with which our soldiers have been landed on French soil. So far as enthusiasm eoes, there is just as much over the news of the complete success of the expedition as there would have been over the sight of the men marching through our streets and boarding their ships. Only a few of our citizens, compara tively, could have witnessed the latter; the whole country takes solid satisfaction in the evidence that our army and navy afficials did the job they had to do in a wordman-like manner. It is not only the military experts who have made up their minds that this war must be conducted in the spirit of grim business. Thp pntirp nation is convinced of that and acquiesce in it. We can well spare spectacle and fuss and feathers provided we get military efficiency. Needlessly <o put a single soldier to hazard for the sake of tickling the crowd would be little short of criminal. ?New York Evening Post. Wlnthrop College SCHOLARSHIP and ENTRANCE EXAMINATION.
