CAROLINA TEA TABLETS. You Can Tako Your Cup ol Tea Around With f You in Your Pocket now. _ ? Tho State Bureau, 1417 ti Street N. W., Washington, January t. Dr. B. T. Galloway, chief of the Bureau of Plant Industry, gave mo a Christmas present yesterday. It is a little box of tableta. Thoy aro about tho size of gun wads and look some thing liko the ordinary "frog in your throat," which simple-minded people put toto their mouths with the idea that it will cure a hoarseness or tick ling in tho throat. But these tablets are neither gun wads nor "frogs in your throat." They aro toa tablets, .and they come from tho only tea producing State in tho Union, which is South Carolina. These are the only tea tablets ever made, these made at the Pinehurst toa farms in Summerville, S. C. It is a new in vention under the sun, and it enables ono to carry around in very email packages thc material for making gallons of the very best tea. I can take one of my little toa "frogs in your throat," drop it into a cup of hot water and in exactly four seconds have a delicious oup of tea, and South .Carolina tea at that. There arc "20 of these tablets in a box, good for '-') cups of tea, and the price of the box is 10 cents. A personfean go fishing, take one of these boxes in his vest pocket, make a lire, bent hot water in a tin cup or a camp kettle and make tea enough for a party of 20. Tho American army, I believe, does not drink toa to any great ex tent. Coffee with thc soldiers is thc favorite drink, as it is with so many people who are not in the army ; but toa is a good drink and is more popu lar to-day than it used to bc. Dr. ?Galloway thinks that this new inven tion of the tea tablet, allowing tea to Ibe carried in such a compact aud .convenient form, will induoe| the .army to usc it moro, instead of cof fee. The annual report of thc Bureau of ?Plant Industry will be issued in about two weeks, and in that, while there is only a short chapter on tea culture, thc tea farm at Summerville is reported as progressing with en couraging results. There is only one other tea farm in the country. That is in Texas, at Pierce, Wharton .county. This is not bearing yet, however, and South Carolina still enjoys tho distinction of being the only tea producing State. The Bureau of Plant Industry cooperates with Dr. Shepard, tho owner of the Pinehurst tea farm, and during the gathering season had Dr. Rodney II. True, of tho Bureau, stationed down there. Tho tea tablet is an invention of Dr. Shepard, but thc experiment is carefully watched by tho Bureau, and Dr. True, while primarily interested in tho culture of tho teaj|p)ai< has been much interested in this bcoause he greatly desires the commercial 8000688 of thc tea growing industry. There is no uso for him or any of tho others to devoto so much attention to tho study of the plant unless some .one demonstrates that it will be com mercially valuable to thc country. And this tea tablet is distinctly an .example of American commercial methods. It is what one might call a typical American stunt. The Chi nese will likely go on '2,000 years making tea, ana selling it, like they did before America was discovered. The Original. Foley & Co., Chicago, originated Honey and Tar as a throat and lung remedy, aud on account of tho great merit and popularity of Foley's Honey and Tar many imitations aro offered for the genuine. These worthless imitations hav . similar sounding names. Beware .of them. Tho genuine Foley's Honey ami Tar is in a yellow package. Ask for it and ref use any substitute. It is tho Jbost remedy for coughs and colds. J. W. Bell. Pension Notice. ? will bo in the Auditor's office each .Saturday in January, 1000, for tho pur pose of preparing applications for pen filOOS.

The method of allowing the pods to remain on the vine until all or a great er part of them nre ripe and then cut ting the vines and curing them and then flailing or thrashing out the peas will be found to be the most practical method of gathering the seed In many cases, although with this method more or loss of the seed will be lost on the ground by some of the riper pods pop plng open before tl 'ting and dur ing the harvest. But ? . expenso saved by ilolng away with the hand labor In picking will more than balance thia loss, and If lt cnn be arranged so that the hogs can be turned on the patch after the crop ls removed the greater I part of the pens that have shattered out will he picked up. In harvesting COWpcn vines, to save the seed they may be eut with a scythe, mower, an improvised horizontal knife fastened to thc shank of a cultivator, or a regu lar benn harvester. Tlir?.??

Un tn Turipa. Quite a numoer of Inquiries have ! been sent In to the Rhode Island ex ! p?riment station In regard to tho dying j of heads of timothy, redtop and oilier grusses. Tho condition rs properly known as white top or silver top and Is not uncommon ot any time, espe cially in blue grass. It ls more preva lent than usual this yeur, and a greater nu m her of varieties of grass aro af fected. It ls caused by a very small Insect belonging to the class called thrlps. Thc common name is grass th rips. Tho dying of the tops of tho grass stems ls due to tho work of the young of this insect, which lives in i side tho leaf sheaths, esiieelally thc upper ones. The Insect lives by suck ing tho Juices of the tender tissues, and the portion of the plant above tho last Joint ls most liable to attack; hence , thc withering of the head. milln", (irern liny. A great many farmers In Illinois and states farther south cut their clover. { allow lt to wilt - lightly and then bale while yet green. They claim clover euros thoroughly and comes out as good, succulent feed. While tills Jour nal does not advise a general adapta tion of tills method, the fact ls lt has been practiced successfully, if the hay cannot bc baled directly put it up In well formed stacks, then get ut baling as soon ns possible thereafter. If this is done without delay there will he lit tle or no loss from the bleaching, and the hay can then bo taken to market if the prices are satisfactory or stored until later. Orango Judd Farmer. Weeds Wrist?? Moisture. If you want concrete evidence of plants drawing moist un' from the soil, go Into the garden early on n dry morning before thc sun ls fur up and look for the stumps of large weeds cut off at tho surface of the ground. The soil around each stump will lie wet, showing that the roots pumped up more water during the night than could bo taken away h}' evaporation. I ?lg the weeds out, roots and all, and save the water In dry weather, con cludes an exchange. IN THE GARDEN Keep rank growing shoots pinched hack to control tho form of shrubs. There are so many perfectly hardy shrubs Unit the labor of tying them up In straw, laying them down or other ; wise protecting plants for winter may he avoided. Tho best time to water trees ls said to be during or Immediately ufter U rain, because, the atmosphere being then charged with moisture, water at die root does moro good. When watering the garden do not be sntlHlled when the surface looks wet, but be sure the soil Is well soaked. Hie flower beds will need care to keep them lu good condition nt this season. $1 por year-The Courier-66th year.
