' TOBACCO GROWING

mini

in the pest I have made many trials cl’ tobacco growing in this-pro- ‘vincc, and the only dliiiculty has ‘ been in the curing. The plant thrives well, l! the soil is in any sort o! con- dition; the leaves come to the proper "ripened" stage-that oi a light green overspread with a golden Blleélk-fllld the earliest to do so are easily cured. because weather conditions are then lust right. But the bulk oi the leaves ripen when the chill air oi the autumn prevents the curing: the only wsy to carry out this operation then, is to have a proper curing barn where heat-from a slow-moisture. and ventilation can be controlled. ‘rile amateur as a rule, has not, this equipment, hence the result is mostly disappointing, so that one hears the remark that “tobacco cannot be cur- ed here." For the consolation oi these growers I would point out tha the same rule applies to other provinces, -which only make the matter a. suc- cess because the growers set up the

proper buildings.

Once I had the leai properly cured the iermentation was not very dli-_ iicult. The leaves which were seein- ingly quite dry, were put into air- tight boxes and leit in a warm place ior about six weeks, During that

I.

time the texture oi ' the lea! changed - irom- a thin dry state to blotting-paper con-

sistency, the nicotine developed, and the iragisnce evolved. The next step would be to dose it with one o! the “sauces? as the moisteners are cal- led, and press it into plug iorm. How. ever, as the "sauces" contain saltpetrc and other matter, they may be omit- ted ii the tobacco is for home use. especially when only a small quantity is prepared at a time.

Baking-powder tins plugged tight with the leaves. capped and sealed with paper to keep out air, and leit in the warming-closet ior about six weeks, will give a iair quality c! tobacco,

{ WATER

Yesterday I pointed out the use oi lime in the ration; today the lesson is on water. Strictly speaking water is an oxide oi hydrogen, and is usually - given in iormula as H2O although many things have led chemists to doubt this simple term. p '

It is water that permits the pre- sence oi llie 0n our planet, and in weather like this, well we know it! Oi ordinarily occurlng minerals only a few are soluble in water and 0i these calcium carbonate and sulphate and common salt are most widely dir- iused, But common salt is very local in cccurencc so that spring and well- waters, ii contaminated, are chieily so? by calcium carbonate and sulphate. The iormer gives "hard water," and is thus another source whence the

lime. The sulphate water is scmcV times used medically but is unplea- sant.

All organized structures need water; the greater percentage oi the body is composed oi this iluid, and we consume it in great quantities in the hot. weather, No other drink i5 like it-it renews the moisture lost by perspiraticwv-and leaves no alter effects.

Seeing that we need water and en- joy it so much, let us not iorget tile horses, the cattle, and all the lower l" ; irrms that minister to us: let them‘ ' ave access to the water a5 all times.

Wedgewood Ware

Last Friday was the’ 109th anni- versary oi the birthday oi a notable man. Josiah Wedgewood, born. July )2, i730. The history oi pottery, with which Wedgewoodh name will always be associated, is not only a story oi absorbing interest, but it is a history oi one oi the oldest craits in the world. To that land oi ancient civilization, China. we must go ior the greatest race oi potters. While other nations were content with the rougher ,. oduétlons, they were de- veloping the ware known ls porce- lain. Itwas during the itth century that this iound its way to Europe and turned the shill o! the Western putters into the paths oi imitation. Beiore Wedgewood's_ time English pottera were, a -poor race. produc- ing a rough kind o! earthenware which they hawked around in bas- kets. Wedgewcodb lather was a potter oi this class.
