Materials for Paper Making

In the variety OF materials utilized
for paper making. the Chinese claim to
excel all other nations. The India pa.
per, called by them lehi, is made from
hemp. mulberry bark, cotton. bamboo,
rice straw, barley straw, and from the
interior membrane of silk-worm CO.
coons; sometimes the whole of the stalks
OF years growth are used. The pulp
is mixed, after it has been prepared,
with a given proportion OF vegetable
gum known as hotong, and the paper is
moulded in moulds made OF the bam-
boo filament Those sheets, of some
sixty feet in length, which the Chinese
are said to make, are supposed to be
fabricated by artfully joining several
small sheets at the moment of laying the
paper. Being too thin to bear handling
or strain, it is mounted on vellum,
which serves as a lining to it, and the
white borders of which set it off as a
frame would do. These sheets are kept
in dry place, far away from any fire
heat, and are thus preserved for years.

rats can easily reach the top. you will
catch every rat that passes by; the rats
will jump on the cotton seed. The

three days after had my jar examined,

PROFITABLE CROPS



munerstIve Than It Has Been.
II is small, not large. crops that we
need more Of My minimum crops
have invariably been more profitable,
and have heard many farmers make
the same remark. Would it not be
we'll for our farmers to combine to pro-
duce less for few years OF all staple
crops, thereby thoroughly cleaning up
the surplus and getting better returns
for our labor than we have received
for the last decade? Certainly we have
the same right TO combine to limit pro-
duction as have coal or oil companies.
millers and manufacturers. Some may
say that it is our duty to ourselves and
our coun ry [. do our best in our chosen
calling-but best for whom? II we
can do better by producing less and
getting more for it, why not do 1t, as
long as other producers are doing the
same thing and we have TO exchange
our products for theirs?
Why should farmers be the only class
of producers that can M. e,,oauiish a
price for their commodities? When we
buy we have to pay the price asked;
when we sell we have to take the
pittance the purchaser sees fit to offer.
Surely. no class OF laborers work as
many hours for as little pay as the far
mer, and it is time our calling is more
remunerative. Can this be done by
producing more or less? / am OF the
opinion that General Butler was right
when he said that ''our trouble is
not overproduction, but underconsump-
tion," and the question is, how shall we
increase the consumption OF farm pro
ducts? Certainly not by increasing the
quantity, but By improving the quality.
Every one knows that soggy potatoes.
stale eggs, rancid butter, etc, last
much longer than good, fresh, No.
articles. If all food products were the
very best, much more would be con-
sumed, thus making a greater demand
and more remunerative prices. Many
OF our wide-awake farmers can make a
part OF their productions an actual ne
cessity to one or more families in our
large cities at paying prices by supply
ing these products regularly, fresh,
sweet and wholesome. know this by
experience, for my customers often tell
me that they prefer to purchase farm
products OF the producer, especially
eggs and butter
1t is laudable for practical farmers to
experiment, investigate and produce
maximum crops, but it is more profit
able to produce the best and get good
pay for them. American Agriculturist.
