TOBACCO STEMS.—Next to our fine

ing them down to a strong decoction, thus

are also strewn around the plants, permit- 
ting the rain and sun to strike them, which 
causes a kind of suffocating steam to 
emanate from them, killing all insects in- 
fecting the plant. Price, 10c. per pound; 
10 lbs. for 80c.; $2.50 per oat sack.
