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.

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

—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.
