The Clarion: Wednesday, February 14, 1883. The Clarion. House, Farm and Garden. Caltivatlon of Jute. Times-Democrat The Times-Democrat has always warmly urged the cultivation of jute in this State. - It is a plant, it showed, adapted and suited to this climate and country, and particularly to the rich bottom lands lying along the Mississippi, in whose fertile soil it will grow more luxuriantly, larger and faster than anywhere else in the known world. In behalf of this crop, it has been demonstrated that it needs little capital to embark in it and very little labor to cultivate, and that it can be raised successfully on thogo lands on the river subject to overflow and now lying idle for that reason. It is a short crop, re quiring only three months or Ickb to mature, and can be planted after overflow, raised and harvested long before the high water comes again. Its cultivation would, moreover, help to diversify our crops and would re lieve this section from the great bur den that necessarily results from a devotion to a single crop. There will never be any difficulty in securing a market for jute the demand is always greater than the supply. This country alone Imports between $2,000,000 and 13,000,000 of jute annually, and this tr;ul; is yearly growing ; while in England, the imports amount to the immense figure of $20,000,000. Here is an inviting field open to us in which our only dangerous rival is India, a coun try we have little cause to We afraid of. If the United States, which has overshadowed India in the produc tion of cotton, in which it attempted to rival us, cannot, with a more in telligent and better system of culti vation, more fertile lands, better labor and a hundred other advan tages, produce better and more jute than India, it will be strange, in deed. The meeting at Jackson, Miss., evidently took this view of the case, for after mature consideration, after listening to elaborate and instructive addresses on the subject of jute cul ture, it finally rosolved that jute was just the crop Mississippi was looking for, and a committee was appointed to procure seed from the United States Commissioner of Agriculture at Washington, or, if that was im possible, from the Board of Immi gration and Agriculture, in time to plant it by April, when it is proposed to place a large acreago in jute. A resolution was also adopted asking Congress to allow the importation of this seed free of duty. A perman ent organization was perfected, and other meetings will 'm held from time to time, and the attention of the far mers of the State turned toward this inviting crop. Our neighbor! of Mississippi have stolen somewhat of a march on Louisi ana in this matter. There has been a great deal of talk in this State about jute, and it has been planted on several places--the crops every where yielding well. Hut to make it a complete lUOoest, some combined action, such as the Mississippi far mers have just, taken, was necessary. and here our people have been some what backward. Wo have little doubt but that many Louisianians will now feel encouraged to experi ment in jute, and will correspond and cooperate with this Mississippi jute association. New ( rleans must be benefited by an agricultural movement of this kind. We have a jute factory estab lilhed here which needs a proper supply of the raw material raised at home instead of being compelled to import it. If it can bo produced here, it willjbenefit the farmero who raise it, and give work to hundreds of operatives in this city. The two crops of jute and cotton go naturally together, and hand in hand, the one being the, adjunct of the other and necessary for baling it. New Orleans, as the centre of the cotton district, hould supply all the cotton bagging needed by the South, and so it will be able to do if Louisiana and Mis sissippi take tho advico of Gen. Stephen D. Lee, and others, and cultivate jute as a crop. Seed Cern. Priarie Farmer. Now. while seed time U far .!;.. formers should examine their seed corn Last season was cold ami M .i much corn that was planted, failed to germinate by reason of the cold, uamp sou, wniie that which managed to start, crew but slowlv ami and was long in maturing, so that wueju com wcaiuer came on, all was more or less soft, and the autumn beintr cool, it hardened hut alnu v Much was entirely ruined for seed by the earlv frosts, and nrl all has since had its vitality destroyed wv mo com snap in early Decern be which froze the nartlv ririwl Those formers who early in the tall, tearing that there would be but little corn suitable for Rend mtUNui their seed-ears from fields uninjured by the frosts and hung them in airy drying places, may be pretty certain that they will experience no incon venience from their seed not germinat ing ; but still it may be best to test its vitality, and for doing so, there is no time like the present. A good method is to f elect 100 ker nels indiscriminately from your seed ears and place them between two woolen cloths, which must be kept damp and in a place of 70 degrees Fahrenheit, or in the ordinary tem perature of a living room in winter; or the kernels may be placed in a glass bottle and covered with water, and hung in the window or near the fire ; or it convenient place the ker nels in a shallow box of earth. In a few days, if the seeds are good the sprouts will begin bursting their integuments,and then the germinated kernels can be counted, and the per cent, that will develop is readily ascertained, and plans made accord ingly. It is surprising what a small number of kernels have vitality the present season. The majority of farmers select their seed-ears when husking, as in this manner they obtain the best and most productive ears ; but this year such farmers have performed a losing labor. Those farmers who examined their corn during the time that the mer cury fell so low in Decern tier, noticed it looked dark, as though it had been cooked, and on breaking the covering found the sprouts frozen. Complaints of this nature come from all parts of the country. Such corn, of course, will never germinate, and it will be necessary to obtain old corn for seed or produce no corn. There is but little old corn in the country, and if any can be found every farmer should obtain enough ot it tor seed, rronauly a good price will be asked for it, but it is better to pay a good price for good wed, than a poor price for poor seed. Home Decorations. Italian embroidery is "the thing" now, and all curtains or other em broidered articles should be genuine or imitation Italian. Tin pie plates, painted with some plaque design, are hung about the walls, and the uninitiated imagine they arc expensive articles. Ash is the popuiar wood for chairs this season. The use of carved panels and heavier mouldings is the only apparent change in the form of tho wood work. Stained glass is being used in fur niture, bookcases, cabinets, buffets, etc., etc. A bookcase or cabinet having the back removed and, stood before an unused window, shows very handsomely with stained glass win dows. Black birch, which is coming into mvor as a substitute tor black walnut is a close-grained and handsome wood. It can readily bo stained to resemble walnut, is just as easy to work, and is suitable for many of the purposes to which black walnut is applied. Some of the brocaded stuffs wi' largo birds and animal heads in alistie treatment arc being HMtJ the underskirts of handsome eve., toilets, the ruche at the bottom, . j hip and back draperies, and corsage being of velvet, lined and piped with satin, or of satin lined aud corded with velvet.

Yellow onves, Jfrench maroons, fpa in shrimp pink, and, of course, terra cona, are more likefy to be asked for than anything else. The taste is re turning to small figures, although the Rennaissance'desiens are extreme ly popular. Many persons insist upon the wall paper harmonizing so far as is practicable with the uphol stery ; so this governs manufacturers to some extent in their coloring and designs. . jADJD -h,tiT lt youthful color CONQUEROR OF ALL KIDNEY DISEASES.
