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.

Crop, following Crain.
^The successful outcome of the cow
pea as a crop in Oklahoma is reported
uy the state stutlou. Considerable
acreage I? grown a? a catcb crop fol
lowing wheat or ont?. Muny such
tlehls uro seeded as late as th* middle
of July und by Sept. 15 are completely
covered with u two or threo foot
growth of vines, In ninny cusen bearing
? good CJrOp of seed.
one of two methods ls generally used
in harvesting' cowpea seed, The pods
are either picked off by hand os they
ripen or the vines uro gathered when
the greater part of the pods ure ripe,
and then the peas are Hulled or thrash
ed out.
riniiiiiK or Th mullina; the Penn.
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.

The whit?' nests of the full wobworm
are most conspicuous during August.
These unsightly objects inclose masses
of browned ami skeletonized foliage,
says Professor K. I*. Felt in the Car
den Magazine. It ls easy to cut out
tho nest whenever seen at this time of
i the year and burn It with the eiitorpll
1 lei's within, but u far mon? satisfactory
method ls to check the attack nt the
beginning by spraying the leaves
thoroughly In tho vicinity of the nest
with nu arsenical poison, preferably
arsenate of lead.
Young San Jose scales are now being
produced In largo numbers, and conse
quently the pest will be detected on
j trees previously supposed to he free
, from the scale. If lt ls nt nil abun
dant it win be necessary to spray with
either a whale oil soap solution or
kerosene emulsion, even though the ap*
! plication he only a temporary check.
: Use whale oil soup solution at the rate
of about one pound to six gallons, or
I the kerosene emulsion, standard for
mula, diluted with nine parts of water,
but what ls used must he applied with
? such care ns to cover the whole tree.

Quite a numoer of Inquiries have

Insect belonging to the class called
thrlps. Thc common name is grass

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.

Tired
Nervous
When you feel languid, tired,
nervous and irritable, your vi
tality is low-your supply of
nerve energy exhausted, and
your system running down for
lack of power,
Tlie organs of the body are
working poorly, or not at all,
and you are not getting the
nourishment needed. This soon
impoverishes the blood and in
stead of throwing off the im
purities, distributes it all
through the body. This brings
disease and misery.
Feed the nerves with Dr.
Miles' Nervine, a nerve food, a
nerve medicine, that nourishes
and strengthens the nerves, and
see how quickly you will get
strong and vigorous.
"My wife Buffered with nervousness
previous to a recent attack of typhoid
Fever, but after her recovery from the
fever, she was much worse, and could
hardly control herself being exceed
ingly nervous when the least excited.
6)10 was very restless at night, and
never had a Rood night's rest. Sho
also suffered much from norvous head
ache. Dr. Miles' Nervino was recom
mended by a friend. After the first
throo doses sho hod a good night's
rest, and at tho ond of the first week's
treatment sbo w.'ia wonderfully Im
proved. Continued uso of Nervino has
completed her entire euro."
