A Profitable Industry Which Might BE
Pursued bv American Farmers.
Farmers in various parts of the
country are beginning the cultivation
of the indigo plant. which forms very
important feature of Chinese agricult-
ure. The indigo fern is one of the
seed-pot variety of plants. with stock
and leaf not unlike the fish geranium,
but of darker green in color. It is very
hardy, easily cultivated. and. unlike
many of our native products, is never
attacked by insects. The plants are
gathered for manufacturing purposes
when they have obtained the height
of about two feet, and at this
period the leaves have assumed
rich dark blue color. To
extract the article that is sold for
mechanical and domestic uses, the
plants are placed in receptacles and
covered with fresh, clear water, in
which they remain for three days, I'M
til the indican, a peculiar substance in
the juice of the plant. is decomposed
by fermentation. To this is added at
specified times little slaked lime.
The whole is frequently stirred to as
sist the process The indigo is precip-
itated in dark blue sediment, which,
when dried, is the indigo of commerce.
BY repeating the process until great.
err degree of decomposition takes place,
a very dark blue is obtained, and for
commercial purposes the darker the
color the better and higher price it
brings. !. Mail apd Express.
