MORE ABOUT JUTE.-In an English
journal, Bow Bells, Of November 10,
past, we find the following item res
pecting the method of cultiVating iute
in the East Indies. 1t will be read with
interest by those who have engaged, or
are about to engage, in the culture OF
this valuable plant:
JUTE.
,Jute is a tibrous plant that grows to a
high stock varying from six to twelve
feet high, 1t is raised in the low lands
OF the East Indies. The iute planta-
tions are operated somewhat on the
system Of rice plantations. The water
used for flooding purposes is taken .IOm
rudely constructed reservoirs filld by
the melting snow of the Himalaya
Mountains. The plant is kept growing
In about eighteen inches of water, which
prevents the parching rays of tropi
cal sun from destroying it, When
the stalk has attained its full growth it
is pulled up by the roots or cut off near
the roots. 1t is then laid out in bales
like wheat or rye, and prepared for mar
ket.
The bark is removed, the root is cut
off where it is pulled up with the stalk,
and where the root is not originally
kept, the hard, lower end is cut off and
thrown into class commercially known
as tho jute butts. The remainder is
then assorted with regard to length,
strength, fneness, and lustre of fibre,
The first quality is a beautiful, clear,
long fibre, much Of it resembling in ap-
peaTance blonde hair. This is especially
used for chignons, but it is also used in
Scotland in the manufacture of fine jute
cloths.
