FARMER AND PLANTER. RAMIE A SUCCESS. «» or** mm Cram •» R TmHt. It appear* from samples of ma&ufac- tarcd rmrate just shown her* that at last this fiber has been so developed aa to make its use in textile goods entire* lj practicable. This industry is the latest and promises to be one of the most successful of those which hare sprung Into being and gooe on to pros* parity under the stimulating influence of existing conditions. Rami* has been used in a.crude way,- prepared by hand treatment, in China and the east for seatsrie*. and it*cultivation waa recom mended by the directors of tbs East India Co. in 1834. It has recently been made Into more or leas valuable yarn by secret processes In Germany, France and England. Several hundred thou sand dollars have been sunk In efforts to develop in this country s method of treatment for It which would be com mercially practicable. Heretofore these investments have all resulted In failure, until many of its most enthusiastic champions doubted the possibility of manufacturing it successfully. In spite of failure and prejudice, the euormous inducement held out by the protective system to any industry which could be maintained on raw material grown in this country, and could turn out a product that would compete with the imported flax and silk, has kept in ventors busy attempting a solution of the difficulties encountered. One uf these Investigators came to the conclu sion u year or so ago that the whole trouble lay in the separation of the natural gum from the fiber. When the gum was extracted from the fiber by tlie usual process Its strength was taken out of lb When the ordinary process was stopped at a point which left the stength in the fiber, so much gum remained with it that it would not take np the dye after being spun into yarn. This Inventor therefore devoted hi* energies to the discovery of a process which would not rot the fiber. He found that treatment with au alkaline solution containing saponin* would ef fect this result. This wss the key to the greatest difficulty. When the prac- tlesl part of spinning the fiber into yarn wss taken up it was found that ths threads had become so charged with slectriclty that they would not Us side by side. Moms care ful experimenting removed this trouble also, and hundreds of pounds of the quality of yarn already described, worked up into samples of all kinds re sulted from three or four months* work. In the southern states two or three crops of ramie will grow in one season, and the land does not need replanting for several years. The fiber occurs be tween the bark and the woody portion of the stalk, and is longer and more uniform than all the others except silk. It is more solid, has more tensile strength, more resistance to twisting strain and more elasticity than linen or hemp, and even cotton, though the lat ter can be more readily twisted. It is inferior only to ailk. From ita single or mixed fibers may be woven all 'kinds of stuffs, from the finest to the coarsest Mixed with wool and silk, ramie can be made into mag nificent furnishing materials. Imita tion satins, trimmings and table linen can also be made from it—N. Y. Cor. lioston Advertiser. FEW OF THEM LEFT. s of n*r!4a aad theC THE SOUTHERN FARMER. Ways la Whlfh Agricultural UmmaIoii May ba OMSat. Whilst it is true that agriculture ut the south la suffering depression, as in all other sections, yet there are advan tages with us tha t no other section can claim. The amount of money necessary for farm Investment is far less than at the north or the west Our lands are on the market at a very much less price than lauds in other sections. It may be argued, however, that our soil is not fertile and the lands are much worn. 'I bis may be true, but they have a won derful recuperative power, and the means of recuperation are not ex pensive. It is well known that our poorest lands can be brought to thrift and fertility in a very short time. We have quite a number of notable in stances of the recovery of the fertility of our soils, including the very poorest coast lands, as In the case of South Carolina, well-known by the readers of our agricultural journals. Under these statements it is plain to be seen that the same amount of money invested in farm lands in the southern states would cover a far greater area with practicably equal conditions as to fertility, than If invested in the states north and west of ns In other words, a farm of one hundred acres of land, worth one hundred dollars per acre as in the western states, msmls an investment of ten thou sand dollars for its purchase. This farm can not be divided into smaller farms as the farmer's boys become o! suitable aga to reoalva their patrimony In a farm adjoining tha old homestead. The same amount of money Invested in Gtxwgia lands at ten dollars per acre would make ten farms, enough for all the boys, and some to spars for specu lative investment. Another advantage equally as impor tant as the financial feature is the value of our farm products. Wa can grow at the south almost anything grown in the other states, with greater facility and almost an equal abundance. This, of course, increases the per A queer condition of affairs exists among the Seminole Indiana in Florida —or what there is left of them. Dr. & B» Chapin, who recently returned, says n special to the Philadelphia Times, from tha -Allen place," forty miles cast of Fort Meyers, relates some highly interesting facta bearing on the ques tion of Indian education and develop ment. About six months ago the United States government sent him here tc superintend the erection of a saw and planing mill, a shingle factory and a achoolhous* and cottage for the teach ers, also to lay the foundation for an Industrial school for the benefit of the Indiana still inhabiting the high on the northern boundary of the Ever glades This scheme was put on foot by the Women’s National Indian asso ciation of Philadelphia, of which Mrs. Quentin is president. Prior to Dr. Chapin’s coining this association sent Dr. J. E. Brecht to open a school here, and he did so, and white children were allowed to attend It with the hope that the Indians would follow their example. But so far they have evinced no inter est whatever in the matter, and Dr. Brecht hopes that by good treatment ot them and by perseverance be may in duce the Indians to take advantage ol the opportunity thus offered. The Seminole*, Dr. Chapin says, now number about five hundred, with per haps two hundred, in cracker vernac ular, "bucks," for they are warriors longer. When Chief Osceola, or "Rising Sun." went down tho warlike spirit of the Seminole tribe wa* broken forever. Three conditions limit the in crease of the race—their restricted hunting ground, its malarial condition and the law of the tribe to marriage. This law- bids the marriage of any two of the tribe where there is the least known blood relation, and it is as unalterable as those of the Medes and the Persians. In consequence of this tribal ukase boys of eighteen years marry women ol eighty or more. It often happens that to marry at all they have no other The dress of the bucks Is buckskin trousers and a turban made of us many yards of red or yellow calico os they can conveniently coil around their bronze brows. The women conflno their dress almost exclusively to be^da. They all liave an utter repugnance for photographers, and their features can be had on paper only by the use of a kodak concealed from their sight. They live in three-sided palmetto '‘shacks,” and they care neither to im prove their minds nor to accumulate worldly goods. Around tho "Allen place” the guava and many other semi- tropical fruits grow wild in the woods, and tho very finest farming lands can be bought for two dollars and fifty cents per acre. Frost fell in this sec tion last winter for tho first time in over thirty years, and tho spring drought exhausted tho usually ample supply of good water to such an extent that I)r. Chapin hiul to sink wells foi supplying the stock with wuter while en route from horo to the sclioolhoxse site with lumber and machinery. —ItUalmost impossible for the dairy man to have more sweet corn than he can use-to advantage, and not quite easy to grow any other crop that will pay him better. It may be used for pasture in the fall, when the grass is falling; for green soiling through the mummer and autumn; cut for dry fod der and use in place of hay, or put into the silo. For any of these uses it gives a large product per acre, has a large feeding valuer and is economical. Chamberlain’s Eye and Skin Ointment.
