SOM ETHINC. ABOUT
 JUTE.

quently asked for information on the culture Of the jute plan,
 and the preparation sf the fiber;
 where seed is to be had e.c. With
 your permission I will fake this
 method of giving what i"forma. ton I have on the subject through
 medium of tho Press. l have never seen jute in cultivation; all that I know about it has been gained by correspondence and the reports of the Agricultural Department at Washington, from which I infer that !he plant eau be grown in California to as great perfection as it ever grow in In. dia.
 In the year 1870 the Agricultu- rai department at Washington, distributed jute seed in small quantities through the Southern States. The next year the De- partinent was furnished with favorable accounts of the plant, but: the planters were still at a loss as to the best mode of plant ing the seed, harvesting the crop, separating the fiber from the stem, etc. Hon. E. H, Derbey of Boston. addl lessed a letter to Mir. R. McAlister, then residing in Calcutta, and received the follow ing: -~
 The seed is sown in the month os March and April, broadcast on prepared ground, preference Leing given to moist, high ground situated if convenient on the nank of q river and somewhat Sanday. 1t is not necessary to irrigate the ground, as no more water is required than. is suffi- cient to keep the roots moist. It is allowed to grow three to four months and is cut in the months of June and July and August, whenit has attained the height Of eight to twelve feet; the size depending on :he Soil and season. The time for cutting i< just after the flowers have turned to seed and before the seed begins to IT. pen. When cut, the stalks are tied in small bundles and thrown into tanks of dirty water and al- W~~1L>to remain there five to eight days to rot, at the expera- tion of which time they are taken out and the fiber fall, from the stalk. 1t is then hung up to dry, and when dry it is sorted, packed in round bundles called drums. and sent to market. If ali the plants were allowed to ri- pen the yield of seed would be about l20 lbs. per acre. The quantity of seed. required to be planted is 3n 10 40 lbs. per acre.
 l am not prepared.te give in. formation where jute seed:can be had at this time, but would sug- gest that Mir. Sussinan, the .Se. cretary of the Pacific Jute Com pany, San Francisco would be likely to know and assist in pro- turing seed.
 There are several other meth- eds of separating the fiber from the stalk, than the one given by Mir. McAlister, hut as yet there is no machine invented to .epa-' rate ,the finer from the stem, for the reason that there. has not bsen any demand for it yet. Jute mnst be raised in some. consider able quantities, and the necessity for machine be apparent before The atten ton. of. .iJlyentnrs and machinists will be generally att. tracted to it.
 The planters have been very cautious about venturing into the cultivation of 'juta.on account of having tocompete with thech cap labor of India but If we ars.not' nts!nformed 1t can bs made prof.

per annhm, with & fair prospcc that within a few years the de
 mand will reach 50,0O0 or 6G,00t
 tons. Admitting that we use the
 primitive method of the natives of India. and obtain the fihers by
 hand labor. we save the freight
 from India, and duty, con nlis-
 sion, insurance, etc. The SA-rrA
 people picked the seed from cot. ton for hundreds~of years by
 hand .nath' American ingenuty made the cOttOn-gin. It is just as reasonable to suppose that we
 will invent a machine that will more than compete with. the chear laboi of India just so soon as there is demand for it.
 For further information as to the probable profits ofjute culture, I refer those who entertain the idea of growing jute 10 the reports of the Commissioner of Agricul. ture from 1871 to 1878; there is much information Tn all the re. ports.
 Prof. Warehouse of Washing ton University, St. Louis, has written very interesting-al al ticlp on the importance of the. culture of jute. After visiting the jute- growing country in India .hs is we'll prepared to give informa- tion. He says the trials, that have been made strengthen hope into an assurance that jute can bs successfully cultivated in the Gulf States and in southern Gel ifornia. Agaln he says, what has been so successfully accomplished in Dundee can be done with still greater success in the United States. We cannot only spin and weave. the fiber, but we can also raise it; We not only can derive the profits of making the fabrics, but we can also enrich ourselves by the twofoId economies Of the. growth and ma lufacturs of the staple. Again he says: During the last five years: about 17O,OO0,- 900 pounds of jute:xere made in- to paper in the United States. The newspapers of the United States ought actively to promote an undertaking the success of which would SD greatly rebound to their own advantage.
 In conclusion I would recon. mend to those having suitable land and a disposition, to try it. that they get seed in quantity enough to make it an object, go at it with the intention of mak- ing money and doi"g a good thin. for the -Stare. There is goodFland to grow jute in Fresno and Kern counties, as well as many thousands. of acres else where in the State that will pro- duce, it profitably.
 -Wna. r. Rector, in the N. & s. Press,
 There is growing on 'fhe Colo rado River plant which is known here as wild hemp. All its characteristics accord with the ahove description of jute; ma lures at the same season, and yields similar percentage of f. Der, the commercial value of which, is eight" cents per pound, for properly cleaned article.
 Now, when it is considered that an immense area Counting by square uiies) is covered with this plant; that in seed time, the high winds scatter it in every direction, and the following over- flows of the river are constantly aiding its re- production; with riv- CT and rail transportation at the very door, 1t seems strange. in. deed, that some level headed attempt is not made for working up a quantity isto bagging, on the spot, and thereby determine whether this article, which costs nothing to produce, can be util- x l.

HISTORICAL SOCIETY.

Interesting Meeting LAST Evening-Remi-
niscences Of Early Life.
The Historical society held regular meet
ing last evening. There was very full at
tendance, and the proceedings were very in
teresting. Capt. Blakely, vice president,
presided.
The death of E. D. Mansfield, of Ohio, an
honorary member of the society, was an
nounced, and a memoir presented and
placed on file.
The committee on obituaries reported that
the memoir of Frankliug Steele was in prep
aration. Gen. Sanborn stated that he had
| some valuable material relating to Mr..
Steele's early days in Minnesota, which he
| would hand to the committee.
A letter was read from Benz. 81. Randall,
of st. Peter, enclosing a photograph of John
Bush, of that place, who is now the oldest
living settler in Minnesota, having come to
| Fort Smelling in 1925. He is IS years age,
| but active and in good health.
Gov. Marshall stated that while the so.
| ciety were getting the "reminiscences of oul
early settlers, they ought also to get those Of
| B. w. Brisbois, of Prairie du CHEN, whose
intimate knowledge of men and events Of
this region, would be valuable. Vice Presi
dent Blakeley promised to see what he couli
do towards securing them.
Mr.. Ludden presented curious old docu
ment, dated 1848, being list of what wal
termed clog exchanges among the lumber
men in the st. Croi,
river. 1t gives the names O.
all the lumbermen at that time. Mr.. Lud
den gave an interesting account of how lum
bering was carried on in the st. Croix dis
trict at that day.
This brought up the holding of the frs
court at Saltwater, in 1S47. Gov. Marshall
Capt. Blakeley and Mr.. Ludden, related
some curious instances of that importan
event, and of the men who were prominen
in it;also, of the trial of Notin. (aThe Wind
an Indian, for the murder of Mr.. Rusk,
white man, in 1856. Thase "Reminiscences
will be recorded for future use.

The assault and battery case of Seibert vs..
Wilson same UP in the police court yesterday,
and when the hearing was called 1t was the sig
nal for picnic. Defendant was charged with
committing an assault on Mrs. Eeibert, q very
stout, middle aged German matron, and the
boss of a boarding house in the Sixth ward.
Aside from her phenomenal size she has a re-
markably clever, not to say graceful way OF
wagging glib tongue which is death on the
queens English. Wilson, a former boarder at
the house, made up his mind to leave, and on
going for his trunk he found Mrs. Seibert perch
ed on it's broad surface and looking as if she
had come there TO stay There was some talk
about a debt, and n refusing to relipguish her
claim he yanked her from the seat. A dozen
witnesses were sworn whose mistakes were
quite amusing. There was no. material evil
dence against Wilson, and he was discharged.
