Ramie Fiber.

The Dundee Courier gives an illus
trated account of how the ramie fiber is
worked at Wraysbury, on the Thames,
near London. According to this account,
at Wraysbury there is perfected plant
of ungumming, bleaching, preparing,
combing and spinning In word, at
Wraysbury have been demonstrated
the possibi- .es of turning out yarn at
a price to compete with fax or mohair
and at about one-third the price of spun
silk The constitution of ramie is so en-
tirely different from hemp, fax and
other textile plants that the fiber must
be treated by a wholly different method.
1t cannot be spun ON cotton machinery.
On wool, fax and silk waste machinery
it works fairly we'll A special plant,
however, is necessary to treat the fiber
economically and to enable a cheap yarn
to be produced that will permit manu-
facturers TO buy it either for its strength
or for its luster Now, if it is proved
that machinery has been successfully
introduced for the treatment of ramie
stems freshly cut, there will undoubted
" be a more wide cultivation of the
plant
There is practically no limit to the
goods that can be manufactured from
ramie. Its strength renders it suitable,
it is claimed, for ropes, Irvine, machine
bands, betting or sailcloth and fishing
lines and nets and for many of such
purposes its diminished bulk and weight
render 1t specially suitable. 1t can, it
is averred, be converted into a cloth
similar to cotton and it vies with flax
as the basis for damask tablecloths and
the like. 1t will mix with silk, wool
and even cotton, adding strength by the
alliance. The waste can be utilized for
paper making of a high class. Its alb
Sorbent and antiseptic qualities, it is
claimed, render it specially suitable for
medical purposes.

CONSTRUCTION OF RESERVOIRS.


the team may be driven round and round
until the sides are reached and the
whole thoroughly worked into mortar
In this condition, if thoroughly pud-
died, the reservoir is nearly water tight
To prevent washing the inner slope may
be covered with a layer of coarse gravel
or crushed rock.
If perfectly water tight reservoir is
desired, the bottom should be cemented,
coated with asphalt and sand, or six or
eight inches of brick clay used in the
pudding.
To remove the water from the reser-
voir the best plan is to use lap weld
steam pipe provided with an elbow and
laid with the mouth of the elbow level
with the button of the reservoir and
facing up. This is closed with plug to
which a long 7 handle is attached. The
cut represents cross section of reservoir
with plug inserted in the discharge pipe.
The end Of the pipe where the plug Is
inserted should be thoroughly imbedded
in large mass Of cement heavy enough
to prevent it from being shaken when
the plug is taken out or inserted. A res
ervoir with sloping sides should have
an outlet at the junction of the sides
and bottom, and it will be'necessary to
build a pier out to it i'll order to reach
the plug.
A reservoir feet deep and 40 feet in
diameter will hold water enough to If
rigate O.35 acre 4 inches deep and 0. 60
acre 2 inches deep and 100 feet in di-
ameter will irrigate 4.62 and 2.16 acres
2 and inches deep respectively.

THE CRANBERRY.
Establishment of Cranberry Bog-Cran-
berries as q Money Crop.

Establishment of q Cranberry Bog-Cr4n-
berries a Money Crop.
The establishment of a cranberry bog
requires time, expense and patience,
but once in good form there is little
outlay in keeping it in condition. A
moist soil is necessary. Experience has
proved a peat or muck soil, free from
loan or clay, is required, clean sand for
covering the peat and arrangements
whereby the vines can be flowed when
necessary, and finally thorough drainage.
In the colder part of the country the
vines are flooded in winter TO protect
them from frost, the usual time being
from late October to the 1st of May, Is
to 81 inches of water being considered
sufficient, according to The Orange Judd
Farmer, authority for the following:
In preparing swamp lands bushes and
stumps must be removed and the surface
coated with to 8 inches of sand When
properly drained and ditched, the land
is ready for the vines The sand is es-
sential in order to choke the growth Of
weeds and grass. Clay and loamy sand
should be avoided. On soils thus pre-
pared the best method of planting vines
is to place them in rows marked out IA
inches apart, two vines at each point,
a inches apart in the rows. The plants
are pressed into the ground with the
roots close to the muck below. Another
method sometimes employed in Jersey
is to spread the vines evenly over the
surface of the meadow, cover about an
inch deep with sand, the young shoots
later coming up as thick as wheat and
making an excellent growth. Some sue
coed by sowing cuttings, the vines be-
ing passed through straw cutter and
chopped into pieces about an inch long.
These are sown early in spring and on
prepared ground and narrowed in. Much
attention must be given to drainage,
and this goes far to make or mar the
work
Cranberries are gathered in Septem
Der and October and will ordinarily
keep well in places suitable for storing
apples or other fruit, with as low a
temperature as possible to avoid freez-
ing. Thorough ventilation is very essen
tial. A successful Cape Cod grower, in
estimating the cost of harvesting and
marketing cranberries, places this at
about So 25 per barrel. This figure does
not take into account the outlay of time
and money before cranberry bog is in
bearing, nor interest on permanent in
veStment.
Prices are governed not only by the
size of the commercial crop, but also by
the abundance or scarcity of other fruits.
A year ago good to choice berries sold
at So so to 81, but in the seasons of
great plenty, as the present one, the price
is much lower, frequently down to 81
to 50 per bushel In considering cram
berries as a money crop some growers
who have had wide experience claim
the profit is small and uncertain. The
market is small, consumption does not
move at home and efforts to introduce
cranberries abroad have amounted to
little up to the present time.

CONSTRUCTING RESERVOIRS
For Purposes of Irrigation Where Pumps
aud Windmills Are Used.


Professor F. H. King of the Wiscon-
sin experiment station, in his paper on
Irrigation In Humid Climates, pub
Iished in farmers bulletin, has the
following to say on the construction OF
the reservoirs necessary where pumps
are employed, and particularly if wind
mills are used:
The location of the reservoirs should
be such that its level is above that Of
the land to which it is TO supply water.
The deeper the reservoir can be made
the less will be the loss by evaporation
and usually also by leakage, but if the
water supplied to it is too cold to use it
will warm faster in a shallow reservoir.
Where the soil is of clayey nature
good reservoir may be made by first
blowing and removing the sod to dis
lance beyond the border of the proposed
walls, because if introduced into the
wall it will leak. The earth is then
plowed and scraped into a broad ridge
having the inside slanting in order that
the waves shall not erode the embank-
ment While the earth is being deposit
ed in the wall it should be trampled
firm and close. When the proper height
and form have been given to the walls
of the reservoir, it is necessary to pillow
and thoroughly pulverize the bottom to
a depth of five inches preparatory to
pudding it. If the reservoir is circular
