Contains information on the process for curing tobacco, including degree of heat and phases of time; how water should be used; how to tell when either more or less heat is needed; and how to cure ordinary tobacco.
We do not understand how instructions can be patented, nor how printing them here (probably in substantial copies) will be remunerative.
