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 q 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 az
yet been no machine invented that viii
do the work perfectly. though results
more or less successful in part hav,
been achieved.

Dsease which Has Afflicted Man from
the Prehistoric Period.
Inis tiresome disease is sometimes
looked upon as penalty for the luxur;-
gus living OF comparatively modern
Gays. but as matter of fact it has af-
mcted man from the earliest times.
Not long ago a mummy was un-
wound In Egypt which was shown by
Inscriptions to be the mortal remains
OF one OF the Pharaohs, and the knot
ted fingers proved incontestably that
this monarch-who reigned three thou
SAND years ago-was victim to govt.
The Romans we know from several
passages in their literature were no
strangers to its attacks, and in their
times as In ours it was largely attrib-
dted to high living. A curious fact in
connection with govt in the days of
the Caesars is that it is said to have
Then found its victims chiefly among
the weaker sex. who nowadays are
comparatively free from it.
Inc writings of Galen. Hippocrates
ana other Greek physicians show that
govt was as common in ancient Greece
as In her great Latin rival Galen
said OF it that it was distemper which
none but the gods could cure--an opin-
ion that must be shared by many SUI
ferers who have tried in vain to obtain
relief from its twinges.
The doctor who deserves the monu-
ment as high as st. Paul's, as wide as
the Thames, and as enduring as time
which DIR. johnson declared awaited
him who found cure for the gout-is
still to come. for though it's attacks
may no doubt be modified by regu-
lating the diet and taking abundant
exercise, no one has yet been able to
prove himself master of the art of
healing this most difficult of the MANY
difficult diseases to which flesh is heir.
The variety of the remedies recon-
mended for complaint is a sure index
OF its susceptibility to treatment; and
at one time or another the doctors
have professed themselves to be be-
levers in almost every conceivable
method for neutralizing the effects of
this one. 1t has been attacked with
acids and with alkalies, with fire and
water, cauterization having been once
the favorite form of remedy for it, as
"aqua pura'' was in the early days OF
this century.

glish physician of the seventeenth
century, who knew by painful expert.
ence what govt was. declares it to be
almost the only disease which DESTROYS
more rich men than poor men, more
men OF great intellect than men of or.
binary capacity and understanding.
He says:
'Great Kings, Emperors, Generals
Admirals and philosophers have dice

In one way she af1licts in another"
Gout is, in short, according to thi,
authority, one of the revenges of good
fortune and plenty; but however true
this may have been in Sydenham'.

Plenty of jute land can be obtained
in the Southern States at a rental of
~ 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 u jute crop that exist in the cult
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 5,000,00O 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 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 a larger consumer
OF jute fiber for handling the grain
crop and its products than all the

cotton for harvesting it's 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 q
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 car
hardly be regarded as fatal difficulty,
