The Fibre of Okra. Trim The M«cou L'aiJr *%Ti5 Mr. "\Y. M. Cave, of Barnwell, Soutfi Carolina, sends the Tele graph a specimen of okra fibre, which seems to show that a practi cal substitute for jute has been found. The’fibre sent is clean, strong, .and * cord made from it is as smooth and tough as if made from hemp. Bagging made from it would, apparently, fill every re quirement of a good covering for cotton bales. "Whether it ear. be Eubstituted'for juteof course de pends upon the cost of production. On this point, Mr.. Cave says that “the length and strength 'of the fi bre, the ease and rapidity' of hand ling, together with the small cost of production, make it of great value. The machinery necessary for decortication would not cost one-fourth the-price of a cotton gin, and the removal of the gluten is not necessary, as the same strengthens the fibre and gives the rich, glossy appearance.” This plant can be raised almost anywhere in the South, and if the fibre really possesses all the good qnalties which experiments seem to show, prompt steps should be taken to put it in use. We do not think it can be said that experience with cotton bagging has been whol ly satisfactory, and it is doubtful whether the use of that material can' be increased.. Leaving out all questions of superiority between jute and cotton bagging, the fact remains that cotton is more valua ble for other uses. This would not be true of the okra fibre, if the cost of production is not underes timated, and we hope that in a few years the farmers of the South will grow with their cotton the cheap and efficient material with which to cover it. The British poet laureate can taken sheet Of paper, and by writ ing a poem on it, can make it worth sixty-five thousand dollars. That’s geDius. Vanderbilt, can write on paper and make it worth five million dollars. That’s capital. The United States can take an ounce and a quarter of gold and stamp on it an eagle and make it worth twenty. thousand dollars. That’s money. The mechanic can take the material worth five dol lars, and make into a watch worth one hundred dollars. That’s skill. The merchant can take an article worth twenty-five cents and sell it for one dollar. That’s business. When negroes cut aloof from politicians, who only use them as caty-paws to rake chestnuts ont o the fire for themselves, and give their attention more to the im provement of their moral and ma terial condition, they will make progress and become more influen tial in every sphere of action, but they cannot do it while obeying " the behests of demagogues, who "only want to make them stepping- stones for their own elevation.

Esfevi---: After suffering untold agonies for three years from rheumatism, and after trying various remedies without effect, I decided to try S. S. S. After taking eight bottles I w&b entirely cured. Therefore I cheerfully add mine, to the many testimonials which , go to prove the great success of S. S. S. as & reme dy for those suffering from rheum atism. John McDonald, McDonald’s Mill' Ga. MILIKEX’SiBEITD. The following extract is taken from a letter received from Mr. William MoKain, proprietor of the Madison House, at Tallulah, Mad ison Parish, La.: “While I was merchandising at Miliken’s Bend, in this parish, during-: the years ’87 and ’881 sold large quantities of Swift’s Specific (S. S. S.); and dur ing that time every one that used the medicine was loud in its praise. Among those who were benefitted by.S, S. S. was a man—since dead —who had cancer in its most ma lignant form. He spent a small fortune intrying to effect a cure, but without success. After the knife had been used there was still a cancerous taint left in his blood, the wound never healing. I finally persuaded him to try S. S. S.,_ and it alone eradicated the cancer, and he recovered perfeet health. From that time until his death,, whioh was several years after, a symptom of the disease never returned.” window in in which a little sul- phur.and wood ashes are mixed. Sheep digest their food more thoroughly than any other domes tic animals, consequently sheep manure is one of the best animal manures. Lands pastured by sheep increase in fertility, A liberal top-dressing of ashes on an orchard that is beginning to fail will often give satisfactory re sults. The use of stable manure is also highly recomended as a stimulant for did trees. Provide wife and children with an abundance of comfortable wool en clothing and stout boots and shoes. Stop the crevices in the barn, that your cattle may be com fortable, and feed saved. To saw down a tree, the first cut is on the side the tree ia to fall, and the opposite cut a few inches higher, otherwise in falling the tree may gig back and break the saw and endanger the lives of the workmen. . An experienced famer insists that corn stover should not by stored in barn; mice barrow in it there to a great extabt and the odor of the vermin is very die tasteful to cattle. But cattle eat the fodder if it is stacked; the stack, however, needs to be well built. To keep grapes freshjfor winter, take full clusters, remove all bruissd grapes, dip the end of the stem in melted sealing wax, then wrap each buuch in tissue paper and pack in boxes in layer's, with paper between each layer. Close the box and keep in a cool dry room. If you sowed any rye or wheat very late it"will be protected by a light covering of manure spread on the surface. Ground for oats should be plowed in the fall, though in some soils it is best to wait till spring. The earlier oats can be sown the better, as it is a northern grain. The use of the telephone which is very suggestive as pointing to future posibilities is reported in an English paper. The par ish clerk in a Norfolk village, be ing prevented by rheumatic gout from attending church, was pre- seented by the manager of the lo- oal telephone company with a bonble telephone, which was fixed from the church to the old man’s cottage, so that he and his wife could follow all the services. The old man is quite able to hold any thing, so .the telephone is arrang ed so as to fit against both hi s ears. He can hear anything in theohurch quite clearly, ftm if a boob is dropped or if any one coughs the sound i3 as distinctly heard as if he was in the build ing.
