Artikelbeschreibung vom Verkäufer

8vo; 48 pages; Quarter green leather spine and corners over green cloth boards, rubbed at extremeties. Original front wrapper bound in; marbled endpapers. FFEP and first blank chipped at outer edge, number in ink at top of first page of text, a few pencil marks, bookplate of U.S. Patent office on endpaper with release surplus stamp. Illustrated with eight small in-text engravings. OCLC 11361007 This publication was the result of a contest organized to solicit the best essays on methods for growing tobacco. It includes prize essays by Judson Popenoe and others, originally appearing individually in the American Agriculturist. The winning submissions came from Ohio, Wisconsin, Illinois, Connecticut, New York, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Missouri, New Jersey, and Connecticut. Excerpt from text: "Having got our tobacco in good order, our hogshead ready, etc., the first mild day that we can spare, we proceed to packing. Let me observe that while putting the tobacco in condition-bulks, all of the bundles that were soft or had an ill smell ought to have been laid one side to be made sweet and dry by a few hours in the sun. The same precaution must be observed while packing. In putting tobacco into the hogshead for packing, a man gets in with shoes off, and lays one bundle at a time in a circle, beginning in the middle, and each circle is extended until the outer circle reaches the staves of the hogshead a single row of bundles is then laid all round the edge of the heads of the last circle, then across the hogshead in parallels with the former, always keeping the middle the highest; this is called a course. These courses are continued until the hogshead is filled. The man who packs, presses with his knees each bundle in each course, and often stands upon his feet and tramps heavily, but cautiously all round and across, so as to get in as much as possible. This concludes the almost ceaseless round of labor that is necessary to prepare for market this important staple of our country.".
