experiment made by a gentleman of this city
has demonstrated that the growers of cotton

| Horner, thinking that there could be some use
made OF the cotton stalk, gathered about ten
| pounds of the material and sent it to a factory
| inlNew York to be operated on in the same
manner as flax and hemp. A few days ago he
received from there the results of his ex-
pertinent, which, if the material can be ex-
tracted cheaply, will result in incalculable good
to the cotton growing states. There were re-
turned to him about twenty different grades of
hbross material, from coarse strands of the
stalk to the glossy fibre as soft as silk Persons
are now engaged in perfecting a machine that
will spin the material. There is no doubt but
that the fibre of the stalk is sufficiently strong
to make the best of bagging, as well as cloth as
fine as linen. This material was extracted from
the stalk by an electric process in about six
hours
