SO..le Valuable Fib e

From the T. a25 Journal.
y Tropical and semi-tropical America
abounds with plants producing tibers
which, economically extracted,
would prove of vast benefit to the
textile Industries. The bamboo, the
plantain, and all of the agave and
bromelia families are useful in many
varying ways. Take, for instance,
the maguey growing wild in New
Mexico and Arizona. The stalks is
used in building the leaves in thatch-
ing their roofs, the tibres can be
made into cloth or line. IT the top
is cut out before Towering, leaving
place in the stalk, it will fill up in
one day with syrup which can be
used instead OF molasses. This,
mixed with water, makes the delight
full beverage called by the people,
pulque. The juice makes a good
vinegar, or if distilled, appears as ex-
cellent brandy. The leaves, stepped
in boiling water, make balsam for
curing a number OF diseases. The
flower end is eaten, boiled as a vege-
table, or picked, and the roots,
ground into pulp and mixed with
water, answers the purpose Of soap
and will clean the most delicate fab
ric. The bamboo furnishes building
material and a substitute for needle
and thread. The plantain IS excel
lent paper stock. The bromelia
fibre, known under the name of pita,
furnishes needles, rope to the natives
and can be made into cloth resem-
bling the finest linen. All these
plants are OF the greatest commercial
Importance, and all that they need to
Introduce them,to commerce is a
machine to economically supersede the
the rude hand method of extraction.
A machine has been invented by Nh.
John H. Brown, of New York CITY,
designed to handle the tibrous leaves
OF the agaves and bromelias. This
has been tested on the maguey, brom.
ella, cordoua and zapoupe. Mr..
Browns machine leaves the fibre in
such condition that one passage
throug b a picker puts it in shape to
spin. Duling the experiments brom-
ella fiber has been secured so fine as
almost to float in the air. Expert,
ments as to its bleaching and dyeiug
qualities have also been highly salts
factory. 1t is the strongest fiber
known. With machinery studiously
adapted TO their several needs, all
these plants could De properly util-
ICED, and become staple articles of
commerce.

nasal passages, accompanied with
mucas deposit, the creosote, which is
largely carbolic acid, would seem
to be useful here just as dilute
carbolic acid is effective in
cleansing any putrid sores.
Catar'h is the result of weakness,
and Is promoted by cold. A toniug
up OF the system and any simple
remedy like the above is effective,
unless tie catarrh is severe and of
long continuance as to have perma-

ties. 1t is folly to spend money for
the much advertised catarrh reme-
dies which are usually the sheerest

passing. and cover what small weeds
may have come up in the row. A
few weeks afterwards, the men go
through the rows and pull out by
hand the few scattered weeds which
remain. When the corn is cut up in
September, the field is left as clean
as a floor, and the labor and expense
have beer far less than the usual
hand hoeing with the crop of weeds
following. The quick repeated har-
rowing and cultivat;ng accomplishes
two very important ends-it keeps
the land clean, and increases the
crop by estimates from ten to twenty
bushels per acre; while the drill cul-
ture, which it facilitates, still further
adds to both corn and fodder.

Cre0sOte for Bronchitis and

F. omtb@ Ameri,an 4griculturist.
When going from Switzerland to

cold, which, in the chilly air Of Turin,
soon brought on a severe attack OF

little relief, and the advice Of Dr..

Italian Medical College there, was
called in. He prescribed very SIM

CALIFORNIA; New Industry.

A California inventor has made a
machine for pressing and drying po-
tatoes so that they will keep for
years, yet preserve their natural fla
vor. No chemicals are used in the
operation of curing, everything being
done by simple machine capable of
pressing 600 bushels Of potatoes in
twenty-tour hours. The machine
not only presses the potatoes, but
lays them on tray in a concave
form with the hollow side down.
After the pressure they are put into
a drying apparatus, where they re-
main for two hours, then they are
ground into coarse meal resembling
cracked rice.
The first shipment Of these pre-
served potatoes to Liverpool, last
year, brought large profit. The
average price of potatoes in san
Francisco is about % cents bushel.
Dried, they brought in England
IS shillings hundred weight, or at
the rate OF dollar and halt q
bushel for green potatoes. This
year preparation has been made Tor
drying and shipping large quantities.
1t is said that there are 100000 acres
OF uncultivated land on the Western
slope OF the Coast Range, near San
Francisco, especially adapted to po-
tato growing. The fogs and misls
from the ocean supply sufficient
moisture, and the soil yields bounti-
fully. The only problem heretofore
has been where to market the pro-
duce.

HLrSeS Feet.

Long exposure to wet and mud at
this time OF year frequently pro,
duces cracks and other troubles i'll
horses feet. The prevention is in
keeping the feet clean by frequent
washing and wiping dry with a
coarse cloth. A little crude petro-
leum applied to the feet before the
horses are taken from the stable will
help greatly in preventing them from
becoming cracked. If the feet are
already in bad condition they should
be kept bandaged and the horse kept
where it is dry. Cleanliness is the
most effective prevention of troubles
with the horses feet.

Pruning Trees and Other Plants.

UNlAs9 AACOo GAU OOACA lhuUSs
There are persons who assume to
believe that pruning plants is at best
an unnecessary operation, says the
New York Sun. They will tell us
that nature does not prune trees !;
neither does she train them to stakes
or trellises, but everything is per-
mltted to grow unrestrained, except
as one plant may crowd or overtop
its neighbor. II is true that plants
do thrive under certain conditions
and restrictions without the aid of
man, and so does man live without
clothes or education, but only in the
lowest and most degraded condition.
There are few, however, who Will
claim that the highest development
Of either physical or mental powers
is found among human beings who
have never been trained in the arts,
or subjected to the influence of civil
zation. Plants in their wild state re-
quire little aid from man to produce
natural results. Ii man could be
satlshed with Wild grapes, crab pears
and apples, we might let the plants
grow wild, unpruned and without
care, under such conditions they
would produce as much truitas would
be required to supply the demand.
1t our only apples were those gath
cred from wild trees, very few " uuld
produce fruit enough to supply the
demand. But with al Improvement
in quality there usually comes an iu-
creased demand, not only because a
superior article is preferred, but be-
cause the higher favored and more
tender the fruit the greater is the
consumption without injury to the
consumer. The moment a plant is
subjected to cultivation it begins an
artificial lite, and it thea requires
treatment to correspond with its I'M
natural Surroundings.

Cuitiyating COi /.
M the Con .ry Gentleman.

From the Con 1y Gentleman,
An interesting discussion on this
subject occurred at the Elmlra Farm.
ers Club, on the 25th ultimo, in which
the practicability OF securing fields
clear OF weeds was in turn affirmed
and questioned. Several members
had experienced mach difficulty in
killing the weeds which had always
found abundant entrance among their
corn, and although they planted in
hills and cultivated both ways, large
mum bers OF weeds remained to intest
the crop and perpetuate themselves.
One member said that with the best
he could do, many weeds would re-
main, and he found it hard TO kill
them even when "only three or four
inches high AT least one member
(Mr. A. Donald), however, had pur-
sued different and successful course.
He planted in drills, and when the
cultivation was completed for the
season his ield was clean. The rows
were straight, and his cultivator was
adjusted To run close to them. The
great point with him is never to al
low the weeds to get "three or tour
inches high" as another member had
started, but the cultivator is kept 90.
ing ahead OF the weeds, and the field
is kept clean. The few weeds which
remain are pulled out by hand, but
this is a light task. Mr.. Donald con-
tinues the WORK of cultivation after
the plants are higher than the horse,
or when the corn is in tassel. An
other member, MIR. j. 4. Beecher,
fully endorsed this thorough prac-
tice, and said that he cultivated his
corn tour or five times (ten would be
better, and ele Ell i'll harvest time he
threw aside other work to cultivate
his corn when necessary, as being
the more important oI The two, and
When the work was Kept up even till
