Jutc Culture in AttakaDas,

Editor IBERIA Star:
DEAR SIR-l have examined the spe-
cimen of jute fibre sent to your office by
Mr.. j. Boyance, Of Abbeville, and find
it in my opinion very superior article,
to have been produced in less than three
months from the time the seed was
planted until cut. The seed was sown
June 28th and the stalks cut Septcmp.
ber. 22d. 1t was immersed in water
II days, after which it was fit for hack
ling.
AS this plant pays well in the West,
there is every reason to believe it will
pay we'll here. Perhaps two crops could
be garncred i'll one season. 1t is plant
not subject to disease, has no especial
enemies and is Stunned by stock. 1t is
said that where planted by the side OF
cotton the worm will not make it's ap-
pearance Oh that plant. Should tliis
prove to be the case it would be of in
estimable value to our farmers who
raise that crop as besides paying we'll it
would do away with the necessity for
purchasing pojsons to kill the worms
and the time expended in applying them.
The butts are valuable for making paper
after the portion devoted to fibre has
been removed from the ground,
There can he little doubt that Jute
and Ramie are destined at no remote
day to figure largely in our agricultural
pursuits, and perhaps will prove more
reliable and remunerative than cotton
culture. AS the growth and prepara-
tlon OF Jute are extremely simple, it be-
hooves our small farmers to give it a
trial it only on a small scale in order to
compare results with cotton growing.

A Good Move.
tCountry Visitor

The grand march Of general improve
ment is making great inroads upon the
old systems and methods Of transacting
all kinds OF business in the varied pur-
suits Of human life, and agriculture in
each of its different branches, is as much
perhaps more subject to these innova-
tions than any other.
There are two striking departures
from the old system OF preparing Louis
lana sugars for the market that are
pretty we'll established, and will event.
ually, compel universal adoption for
many urgent reasins.
One relates to the change from the
open kettle to the vacuum pan by the
sugar makers, and the other to the sub
stitution Of barrels for hogsheads to
pack the sugar in, as being mach pref
erahle for transportation and market
ing,
The introduction, of late years, of
glucose and other adulterat tions of sugar
renders it vitality important that Louis
lana should protect the manufacture of
her sugar by having it thoroughly re-
fined before it leaves the confines of the
State, so that she may still maintain her
long. standing reputation for the fine
quality of her sugar. This has led to
the adoption of the vacuum pan system.
by. many OF the sugar planters, as
it iipsVres the sugar being thoroughly
refined and clear from molassess before
it is thrown upon the market.
Confectioners aud others, who use
large quantities of sugar, will be there
by enabled to protect themselves
against adulteration, besides being able
to procure the best article to be obtained
i'll the market. The difference in the
price will be an insignificant considera-
ges.
Packing the sugar, thus refined, into
barrels, instead Of hogsheads, as for
merry was done for our brown sugars
made by the open kettle system for re-
timing elsewhere, has been found to be
a very desirable change, apd it is now
extensively adopted by the sugar plant
ers in the Ieche country, as it gives
their sugar the preference in the mar:
ct, besides being in better shape to
Transportation.

Three Rich Mems Wives.
journal of Commerce.


Three men of wealth meeting not
long since, in new York, the conversa-
tiOn turned upon their wives. Instead
of finding fault with women in general,
and their wives in particular, each one
Obeyed the wise man S advice, and "gave
honor unto his wife,
81 tell you what it is" said one of the
men, "they may say what they want
about the usefulness of modern women;
but my wife has done her share in Sc
curing our success in life.'
Everybody knows that her family
was aristOcratic and exclusive. and all
that, and when ] married her she had
never done days work in her life; but
when w. & Co., failed, and | had to
commence at the foot of the hill again,
she discharged the servants and chose
but a neat little cottage, and did her
own housekeeping until | was better
off"
"Aud my wife," said a second, "was
an only daughter, caressed and petted
to death ; and everybody said, We'll, if
he will marry a doll like that, he'll
make the greatest mistake of his life,'
but when came home the first year of
marriage, sick with fever, she nursed
me back to health, and l never knew
her to murmur because | thought we
couldn't afford any better style or more
luxuries."
"Well, gentlemen" chimed in third,
married smart, healthy, pretty girl,
but she was regular blue stocking. She
adored TennysOn, dotted on Byron, read
Emerson, aud named the first baby
Ralph Waldo Emerson and the second
Maud, but | tell you what t'is," and the
speakers eyes grew suspiciously moist,
"when we laid little Maud in her last
resting place at Auburn my poor wife
had no remembrance of neglect or stin-
ted motherly care, and the little dresses
that still lie in the locked drawer were
all made by her own hands,"

Population of the Earth.
IN. Y. Heraid.]

The latest and most trustworthy sta
tistics of the population of the earth
have just been given to the public by
Herren Rehm and Wagner, the distin-
guished Germcn geOgraplers, whose
work, published at irregular intervals,
is everywhere accepted as the highest
authority on this subject. From this
we learn that the world is being peo-
pied at the encouraging rate of nearly a
million month.
The total population of the globe is
now 1,455,993,0 600 or 16,77S,000 greater
than it was nineteen months ago, when
the authors issued their last publication
The announcement of this fact will
doubtless excite fresh alarm among the
disciples of Malthus wherever any are
to be found. Considerably more than
half of the people Of the earth are
gathered in Asia. That country is re-
ported to have a population of S34, 707,
600 Europe, 81, 1929, 600; Africa, goa, ,G79,-
600; America, 95,495 800; Australia and
Polynesia, 4,031 900 anil the polar re-
gions-that is, Greenland and Ireland
$1,000.
Of the principal countries in Europe
Germany is credited with 100000 in
habitants Austria and Hungary, IS, ,OO0,-
600 France, af,000,000; Great Britain
"a ,500, 900, and the entire Russian do,
minions about 8S,00Q,00e of which near
ly 66,0O0,00Q are in Russia proper. Eu-
ropean Turkey has $500, 900 people and
Asiatic Turkey 16,32O,O0O. OF Asia's
population China with all it's depend
encies, is reported to have 434, ,626, 900 !;
Japan. a4,S5S,000; and British India,
240, ,29S, 900.
The United States contains more than
half OF the American population. Brit
ish North America has 1885, 900 Mexico,
9,485, 900 and Brazil. the most populous
OF the South American countries, II ,100,-
900. While the figures in this work
have been taken from cen sus and other
official reports whenever such material
was in existence as late as the begin
ming of 1880, the authors have, of course,
in many instances been under the nee
essity OF giving estimates which, in the
case OF parts of Africa and Asia and
some other regions, can be little more
than guesses.
But the estimates have generally been
made with care and skill, and afford the
latest and best information to be had on
the subject. The general accuracy of
their computations is shown by the
fact that the authors give the popula-
tion of the United States at 4s.JOO, 900,
inclusive of 100000 Indians, which is
not much amiss for an estimate made
without any aid from the census of the
present year.

BEWARE OF ALUM.-'It has been the
practice of most bakers to mix alum
with their flour in making bread for the
past hundred years, and that in Eng
land, France and Germany it is an Of
Tense punishable by fine and imprison-
ment to use alum in connection with
any articles Of food" the celebrated DR..
Mott is reputed to have said, declaring
the practice highly injurious to health,
and laying the foundation of chronic
dyspepsia. We therefore hope that
steps will be taken in this country to
prevent its introduction into articles of
food, and we shall doubtless meet with
fewer dyspeptics than formerly.

PLUMs ON a PEAR TREE.-William
NJ. Davies exhibits a curiosity in the
shape of two plums grown on q pear
tree which has not been grated. Last
summer the pear tree bore about a dozen
pears. This year it bore none, but its
boughs were intermingled with the
boughs of plum tree, which bore con-
siderable fruit. The bougl which bore
the plums mentioned had the leaves OF

We owe debt to posterity which we

A VALUABLE SECRET.-It is related
of Franklin that from the window of
his office in Philadelphia he noticed a
mechanic, among Il number of others,
at work on a house which was being
erected close by, who always appeared
to be in merry humOr, and who had
a kind and cheerful smile for every
one he met. Let the day be ever SO
cold, gloomy or sunless, the smile
danced like sunbeam on his cheerful
couDtenance. Meeting him one day,

then the tea is sure to be ready, and as
we chat in the evening, | lind that she

cannot find it in my heart to speak an
unkind word, or give an qnkind look to
anybody" And Franklin adds. "What
an influence, then, hath woman
over the heart of man, to soften it, and
make it the fountain of cheerful and
pure emotions. Speak gently, then; a
happy smile and a kind word of greet
ing after the tolls of the day are over

a home happy and peaceful"
