Perfection of Flowing,

At late meeting of the Ayrshire Far
mers Club in England, Mr.. Caldwell, one
of the members, gave the following as en-
bracing the points that constituted mode,
blowing:
Flowing matches are held Cor the pur-
pose of encouraging and rewarding by
premiums, those who excel in the art of
turning up the soil in the way best adapt
ed for producing good crop, and for most
etfectually keeping down grass and weeds.
The blowing which practical judges
approve of is that which is
straight, evenly held, well packed, the
grass well put in, the seams between the
burrows close and clean, the seed-bed as
deep as possible at the given width of fur
row, the burrows SO set that when measured
the face or socket of the turrow will meas
ure about half an inch more than the back
or cutter-cut, the finish neat and narrow,
and the ridge SO plowed that when you
stoop and take an angle view Of it every
turrow will meet your eye in its proper
order Many of you have heard that
the plane of the turrow should describe
an angle of forty-tive degrees; but this
Is shape of furrow | have never seen,
and so acute an angle is altogether imprac-
tleable. The shape of furrow that good
Judges approve OF is, find, about 60 de-
grees. If cut much more acute the plane
VIII be too thin, the back weak, and the
burrows will want that body and substance
necessary to give the blowing the required
sohdlty. If cut much more rectangular or
square we lose that depth of seed-bed and
twlne OF furrow so much priced in first
class blowing and the nearer we approach
the square, brick shaped furrow the pillow
gradually loses command, the grass is near
the top, the burrows sit on their edge, and
are generally badly closedan shaky. The
latter Is, in my opinion, the worse of the
two extremes"

THE RAMIE PLANT.

u,ashtnpton Correspondence of the New York Jour-
nal Of Commerce.
An English firm has sent to the Agricul-
tural Department some fifty or sixty sam
Mes of cloths made from the fibre of the
ramie stalk The cloths are made some of
al ramie, some of ramie silk and worsted,
come of ramie silk and cotton, ramie and
cotton. ramie and silk, ramie and wool,
or by any mixture of materials where
the fibre can be used in place of
silk TO give lustre to a cloth of any
description The figured and plain cor
leans" some of which have the figures
formed in imitation of silk by throwing the
yamie fibre over the cotton and worsted
are especially beautiful The coatings
some of pure ramie, look substantial and
have an appearance similar to the Scotch
goods. There are nozambiques, lenos,
italian cloths of cotton warp and ramie

sultana for dresses, &c. A kind of goods
called "wincey," used for boys clothing
appears in great variety of pattern, color
and size of thread. And all ramie material
of pure white has an appearance between
linen and silk, being a fabric like linen
with iustre almost approaching that at
tanned by China silk.
The samples were sent here by the man.
nfacturers with view to encourage the
Growth Of the ramie plant and the extrac.
fion of the fibre in this country, rs the
amount furnished from East India is not by
anv means adequate to the demand. The
culture of the plant has proved wonder
full success in all parts of the south below
the frost belt, and especially in Louisiana.
Under these circumstances, it may be
wondered that the production of the plant
has not assumed the Importance of regu-
lar branch of our agricultural pursuits
The reason is plain. All the fore man.
ufactured must be taken from the stalk
nv hand, as no machine yet invented
will perform the duty without injuring the
strength and lustre of the fibre and the
goods made from it. The government of
Central India has offered $50, 600 as boun-
tv to any one perfecting a machine which
will extract the fibre without injury to its
lustre, Several m an have called at the de-
partment and examined the plants, stalks
ibres and cloths with great care, with a
view of inventing machine. A German
in particular, frequent visitor
for that purpose, appeared to be
suddenly struck with an idea while
inspecting the fire on Saturday
and hurried out of the place exclaiming, 81
have it I have it !" his face beaming with
delight. The Commissioner of Agriculture
has not yet recommended the cultivation
of large tracts of ramie as cotton or grain
is cultivated for the reason that while it is
proved that we can raise enough in the
southern part of the United States to sup
ply the world, yet labor is too high priced
in this country to employ it for the extrac-
ton of the fibre by hand, and the stalk it.
SELF though filled with fibre, is not market
able at any price

Prevention OF Spring Diseases.

1t is an indisputable physiological truth
that II the instincts of nature we're yielded
to In the spring; were cherished in her de-
sire to take less and less food as the wealth
er grows warmer, as they are yielded to in
the autumn in taking more, very large
amount of the diseases of spring and sum-
mer would be avoided. The great practical
lesson to be learned in reference to the
subject, question of health and disease,
yes, in multitudes of cases question of
life and death, is simply this: as the winter
passes, and the balmy spring-time comes
on, do nothing to increase the appe-
tite; eat no more than is called for;
do not be uneasy because you have little or
no relish for your food; eat less and less
and less every day. The very best way to
increase your pleasure of eating is to
change the quality Of Che food; use articles
less carbonaceous, less warming; send
from your table the pork an' bacon, and
fat meats and oils, and sugars and starches,
and saco and the tapioca pudding, and the
dumplings and the rich pastries; get hold
of the early greens, the spinach, the sal
ada, the turnip-tops, the radish, the early
berry and the early fruit, and lean meats;
pay increasing attention to the cleanliness
of the skin; be more in the open air, sleep
in better ventilated rooms, let your windows
be raised higher at night, and your inner
doors be left wider open. -HdWs Hsdlh bu

CONSUMPTION OF WooD.--The present
consumption of wood in the United States
is enormous. One hundred and fifty thou
sand acres Of the best timber il cut every
year to supply the demand for railway
sleepers alone. For railroad buildings, re-
pairs and cars, the annual expenditure in
woods S3S, 500, 900. In single year the
locomotives in the United States consume
500, 900, 900 worth of wood. There are in the
whole country more than 400, 600 artisans in
wood, and if the value of their labor is
$1,000 year each, the wood industry of
the country represents an amount of nearly
$500, 900, 900 per annum.

CHICAGO, April Is, 1870. Navigation ia re-

daily shipments OF grain Two hundred
thousand bushels of wheat are forwarded per
day, but the shipments of corn and other
grains are not rs large.

TRADE.
The leading business houses here have had
remarkably large trade since the season
fairly opened, This is especially true Of the
Dry-Goods, Millinery and Cloak trade-an
perhaps | should add Hardware and some
other branches--and the dealers IN these
goods have never been buster than in the
last two or three weeks. THIS has been par
tcularly the case with the Wholesale mouse of

superior stocks OF Cloaks, Cloakings, Buttons,
Dress Trimmings, silks, Gtip7u'e Laces, Arab
Wraps and observation-disclosures sold at prices
so low as to distance competition, and attract
very large trade. No house of the kind, in
the Northwest, compares with il in the char
acter and extent of its trade
