Perfection of Pl0Wing,

At a 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 model
plowing:
''Plowing matches are held for 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 a good crop, and for most
effectually keeping down grass and weeds
The plowing which practical judges
approve of is that which is
straight, evenly held, well packed, the
grass well put in, the seams between the
furrows 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 furrow 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
furrow will meet your eye in its proper
order. Many of you have heard that
the plane of the furrow should describe
an angle of forty-fve degrees; but this
is shape of furrow I have never seen,
and so acute an angle is altogether imprac-
ticable. The shape OF furrow that good
Judges approve OF is, nnd, ABOUT bU de-
grees. If cut much more acute the plane
will be too thin, the back weak, and the
furrows will want that body and substance
necessary to give the plowing the required
solidity. If cut much more rectangular or
square we lose that depth of seed-bed and
twine of furrow so much priced in first
class plowing 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 closed and shaky. The
latter is, in my opinion, the worse of the
two extremes

THE RAMIE PLANT.
aRare Chance for Inventors.

Rare Chance for Inventors.
Washington Correspondence of the New York Jour.
/ nal of Commerce.
An English firm has sent to the Agrieul,
| tural Department some fifty or sixty SAM
pies of cloths made from the fibre of the
rannie stalk. The cloths are made some of
all ramie, some of rannie silk and worsted,
some of ranie 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 cloth of any
description. The figured and plain "Or-
leans" some of which have the figures
formed in imitation of silk by throwing the
ramie 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 mozambiques, lenos,
Italian cloths of cotton warp and ramie
weft, serges of oil ranlie, skirting goods.
sultana for dresses &c. A kind of goods
called eswineey," used for boys clothing,
appears in great variety of pattern, color
and size of thread. And all ranlie material
of pure white has an appearance between
linen and silk, beingsa fabric like linen
with a lustre almost approaching that at
tanned by China silk.
The samples were sent here by the man.
ufacturers with view to encourage the
growth Of the ramie plant and the extrac-
ton of the fibre in this country, as the
amount furnished from East India is rot by
any 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 a regu-
lar branch of our agricultural pursuits.
The reason is plain. All the fibre man.
ufactured must be taken from the stalk
by 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, 900 as boun-
ty to any one perfecting a machine which
will extract the fibre without injury to its
lustre. Several m sn have called at the de-
partment and examined the plants, stalks,
fbres and cloths with great care, with
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, "I
have it I have it p his face beanning with
delight. The Commissioner of Agriculture
has not yet recommended the cultivation
of large tracts of ramie as 7otton 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 extrae-
ton of the fibre by hand, sud the stalk it.
self, though filed with fibre, is not market
able at any price.

1 Great Poets Characterize Pronoun
ces Him Man OF Virtue,
Captain Mayne Reid, the celebrated au.
thor, delivered lecture on Byron, last
evening, at Steinway Hall, illustrating his
theme by reciting some Of the richest parts
of that great poets works. This was the
| first occasion on which the Captain had
ever appeared before New York audience
in the capacity of a public speaker, and
considering his reputation as a novelist, he
certainly deserved larger attendance OF
our citizens than was present. The slim
character of the audience NAV, however,
be accounted for by the inclemency of the
weather and the exhaustion of public pa
tience by the interminable byron Contro-
versy.
AS lecturer, Captain Reid proved him.
self a success. His sentences were terse
and pointed, his language ornamental and
his delivery good. He declared himself a
warm admirer of Byron, both as q poet and
a man, and he stoutly defended the great
post against what he termed the venomed
shafts of malice hurled at his reputation by
Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe, stating his
utter disbelief of the charge brought against
him by that lady. He said that there was
no character in history SO difficult to de
fend as Byrons. No man, perhaps. ever
had larger list of enemies, which, it might
be said, included all mankind. And why !?
Read his works and you will discover both
the cause and the answer.
Despising pretenders and Pharisees, he
exposed them numerically. and this rem
dered them antagonistic to the whole fra
ternity of quacks and charIatans, as numer-
Gus in that time as they are now He also
fearlessly ridiculed the frailties and short
comings of despots and peoples There
were only two nations exempted from his
scorn-Ireland and America-and to both
he has given his best words and wishes
One weak point there was in Byron
armor, and that he had in common with
most of mankind-a passionate fondness
for the fair sex, but even in that he was not
more conspicuous than the rest of the men
of his time. The lecturer also expressed
his belief that if Byron's autobiography had
been given to the world it would have
cleared his character from all aspersions.

This is not only fraud on the purchaser, but a
great injury to the reputation of the genuine Watch
To avoid imposition, buyers should insist on get

AN EXTRAORDINARY incident has just oc-
Cured at Lerida, Spain. The banker,
Jose Nunez, had two strong rooms, one in
ordinary use, and the other, which was
only had arcourse to when any heavy pay
ments in gold had to be made. Originally
two keys were provided for the latter, but
some time ago one one of them was lost.
A few days back a necessity arose to visit
this reserved safe, and to the intense as
tonishment Of the cashier, he found key
in the lock. He Immediately informed his
employer, and the two together opened
the door, when they found inside the
corpse of man who had formerly been
employed in the bank. He had probably
stolen the key, and visited the depository
with the intention of robbery, but the door
had accidentally closed, and as It fastened
with spring, he had died miserably in
the midst of the wealth he had desired to
appropriate.
