The Cultivation of Jute.

Now that all the Southern cotton
planters are declaring they will use
cotton bagging for the cotton bales or
hold the products of their fields out of
market rather than buy jute bagging
from the mills in the Bagging Trust,
the question is revived Of the posi-
bility of cultivating jute in the cotton
States instead of depending on India
for the necessary fiber.
AS a matter of fact the experiment
has already been tried, but never
thoroughly or over a sufficiently large
area. Jute and ramie will grow lux
uriantly in Missouri. In Louisiana
and Mississippi jute has been grown
sixteen feet high, with three cuttings
of stalks from the same roots in one
year. Near New Orleans jute has
reached height of eighteen feet, and
the alluvial soil and climate of that
region have been regarded by experts
as superior to the Indian lands for the
cultivation of jute. The trouble in
the matter is that in India the jute
stalk is decorticated or reduced to fiber
by hand labor, while in this country il
would be impossible to obtain hand
labor cheap enough. and there has as
yet been no machine invented that will
do the work perfectly, though results
more or less successful in part have
been achieved.
In India the cost Of blowing is esti-
mated at 50. "a per acre, being done by
rude and primitive means and o.
teams. In Kentucky, which raises
5000 tons of hemp annually, the cos
OF blowing per acre is not one-half o

New Method Of Storing Steam.

A new method of storing steam to be
utilized and controlled for motive power
of any description is especially adapt
ed for propeling street-cars, either sur.
face or elevated. 1t is asserted that
good speed can be attained without the
usual noise, smoke, cinders and escape
of steam. Very little fire is required,
as the exhausted steam is saved and
condensed in the boiler, using the same
water continually. Any danger of ex-
plosion is averted by the boiler not be-
coming heated by water passing
through the tubes, as by the ordinary
method. The steam reservoir is capa.
BILE of resisting a pressure of 1000
pounds to the square inch, but will
hardly ever carry more than 200 to 800
pounds OF steam. From this simple
process are derived the following valu-
able features of the new motor; Abb
solute safety, great economy in rum
ming expenses and such simplicity Of
construction and handling that it can
be run BY any man Of common, ordi-
nary sense. Its safety is due, not to
the skill of the driver, but to the prin-
ciple on which it is built.-St Louis
Globe-Democrat.

Prof. Proctor, in his report on hemp
culture in Kentucky, gives the aver
age yield per acre as 1000 pounds Of
clean fiber, making the cost of hemp
fiber in Kentucky about three cents per
pound. The average yield of jute
fiber in India is given in the Indian
Agriculturist, of Calcutta, as LOO
pounds per acre. The estimated yield
in this country, based upon small
sowings. has ranged from 1000 to
1000 pounds per acre.
In the management of jute crop
the following expense items that occur
in handling a hemp crop in Kentucky
would be dispensed with.
Binding and shocking. ...................s1 90

Plenty of jute land can be obtained
in the Southern States at rental Of
50 per acre. The handling of the
stalks, however, would be greater in
jute than with hemp, because there is
much more to handle per acre, and
also much larger return; but allow
ing return of 1000 pounds per acre
and the same expenses as with hemp
in Kentucky, and the cost of jute fiber
per pound would be only about II
cent. If the same energy and econo-
my were practiced in the management
Of q jute crop that exist in the Guilt
walton OF hemp in Kentucky there is no
reason why jute could not be produced
for less than 2 cents per pound.
The amount of jute fiber consumed
in the United States is enormous; more
than 5,00O,eeo jute sacks are annually
consumed in handling cotton seed,
meal and cake. All heavy gunnies
are of foreign make. The annual in
crease in the consumption of jute fiber
in the United States is greater than in
any other nation. The United States
is a larger consumer Of jute fiber for
handling the cotton crop and its prod
ucts than all the rest OF the world.
The United States is larger consumer
OF jute fiber for handling the grain
crop and its products than all the
world besides. The United States is a
larger consumer Of fiber other than
cotton for harvesting its grain crops
than all the other countries Of the
globe. The United States is also the
largest consumer of jute fiber in mis-
cellaneous fabrics, employing it in a
greater variety of uses than all other
nations put together.
1t is believed that with proper at
tention the cultivation of jute could
be made immensely profitable in this
country, The want of machinery can
hardly be regarded as fatal difficulty
seeing that in the raising of hemp no
machine is used from the time of seed
ing to the bailing Of the fiber other
than the well-knOwn hemp-break. If
jute was extensively cultivated in the
South, the present trouble of the
farmer in regard to bagging for the
cotton would soon disappear.
