TO GROW TEA HERE.
Sir as on to Inves $500,000
in Cultivatin the a In he
State of South Carolina.
It is said that Sir Thomas Lipton, the
cup challenger, will invest $500,000 in
tea culture in South Carolina, he
having lived in that state quite awhile
during his early manhood, when he
came to this country from Glasgow.
As is well known Sir Thomas is largely
interested in the tea business, being at
the head of two of the largest busi
nes concerns in the world, the Lipton
Te a company and the Lipton Packing
and Provision company. is the
largest land owner in Ceylon, and on
his tea, coffee and cocoa plantations
employs more than 5,000 Singalese. I
is said he has given tea culture in this
country a great deal of study, and has
been in communication with those who
are most interested in its development
here.
Th recent experiments in tea culture
in South Carolina have, it is said, sat
isfied Lipton that tea can be cheaply
a successfully grown in South Caro
lina, and he is willing to invest the sum
stated to test the matter thoroughly.
Th agricultural department denies
a knowledge of Lipton's intentions
iii this direction, but the report comes
from an apparently authoritative
source that the cup challenger has been
considering the question for a long
while, even before the agricultural de
partmen took ft up Prof. John W.
Hoffman, occupies the chair
of agricultural biology in the South
Carolina agricultural and mechanical
college, at Orangeburg, S. has
given tea culture in that state a thor

said.

Frni Pits In a
Growers of stone fruits can count up
on a new source of revenue. Th pits
of peaches, apricots, nectarines, plums
and prunes, heretofore thrown away or
used for fuel, have a market value. Es'
pecially is this true of peach and apri
cot pits. This year there is a strong de
mand for them at from eight to ten dol
lars a ton, delivered in San Francisco.
The kernel is the product sought. Fro
the apricot kernel that delicious French
"nut candy" is made, displacing the
almond. Cinnamon, allspice and nut
are adulterated with this same pit,
ground and highly prepared for the
purpose. Prussic acid and essence and
oil of almonds are made from the peach
and prune pits, and these flavors are
used in a thousand different ways. Th
pits are cracked in San Francisco and
the kernels are then sent east.
Unhealth Slate Pencil
The use of slate and pencil by chil
dren is denounced as unhealthy. I ha
been forbidden in the schools of Zurich,
Switzerland, and pen, ink and paper
have been substituted instead. Th
reasons given are that the light gray
marks on the slate cannot be followed
without straining the eyes.

Something like intelligence is often
exhibited by plants. If, during a dry

a dry pumpkin or melon, in the course
of a few days it will turn from its
course, and get at least one of its leaves
in the water.

Mr. J. L. Irwin, of Kansas, contrib
utes a sketch and description of a cat
tle stajll which he regards as better than

"A stall consisting of a set of 2x4s,
one on each side, is bolted at one end
to the manger and at the other to the
studding or posts just wide enough
apart to give the animal easy access.
It should not be wide enough to allow

the animal to turn around. This stall
should be from six to eight feet long.
In one of the posts staple the end of a
chain long enough to easily reach across
the stall. This chain should have a
hook at the other end. A ring is bolted
into the other post to correspond to the
stapled end of the chain. After the
animal has been driven into the stall,
hook "the end of the chain into the ring
and it is as secure as though stan
chioned. Th advantage of this mode
is that it is easier to operate. One does
not have to drive the animal in and
then go around to its head. Then it
is inexpensive. Besides this, the hair
is not rubbed off the neck as with a
stanchion, which means much to a man
who takes pride in his stock or is rais
in show animals."—Ohio Farmer.
SKIM-MILK FOR CALVES.
Some Valuabl Informatio
Out by Tests at the I a E
perimen Station.
The best method of raising calves on
skim milk is a matter of interest to
every farmer. I some tests made at
the Iowa station it was found that the
best and most economical gains were
made on cornmeal and skim milk. Lin
seed meal also gave lower and more ex
pensive gains and was in every way less
satisfactory than either oatmeal or
cornmeal and flax seed. I may be that
theresultsof these experiments are con
trary to prevailing opinion concerning
the relative value of these feeds, but it
is not unnatural or in any way unrea
sonable that the carbonaceous grains
should be more suitable for feeding
with skim-milk than a highly nitrogen
ous product like linseed meal. Skim
milk is nitrogenous itself. Some experi
ments were made in Holland to test the
effect of increasing the fat in skim-milk
for calves, or adding starch. Enoug
whole milk was added to skim-milk to
make the desired amount of fat. When
Btarch was fed it was cooked to a paste
in the skim-milk. About 94 per cent, of
the starch was'digested, the coefficient
Of digestibility being as high as in the
case of the adult animal. Th addition
of starch to the ration diminished the
digestibility of protein somewhat. I
was, however, on the whole considered
satisfactory. When it is possible to
supply skim-milk containing protein,
and the supplemental carbonaceous
material in an inexpensive form, the
profitable feeding of calves is assured.
In the experiments cited above carbo
hydrates, either in form of starch or
cereal grains, were successfully com
bined with skim-milk and in this way
the animal was supplied with an abund
ance of protein and energy and made
good growth.—Ohio Farmer.
DAIRY SUGGESTIONS.
If possible, laise your own cows, but
if you have buy, test every animal
before you purchase, by milking her
yourself.
It takes years of perseverance and
experience to build up a good dairy,
but only a few weeks of mismanage
ment to tear it down.
A thunderstorm is looked upon as an
adept in the art of souring milk, but I
dread a careless milk-pan washer much
more.
If some dairymen would let political
fences a]~ne and repair their farm
fences prosperity would come to them
galore.
It should be considered as an accom
plishment equal to proficiency in mu
sic and painting, that a farmer's daugh
ter be able to make first-class butter.
First-class cheese can only be pro
duced by the cooperation of dairymen
with their local cheese maker. Some
dairymen are years in finding this out,
much to their financial loss.
Econom in the dairy means liberal
ity of purpose. economize on the
grade of salt you use in your butter, or
the character of feed you give your
cows, is the rankest prodigality.
Of late years we hear less and less
about the worn-out lands of the east
ern states. Why Because they are
being rejuvenated into some of the most
profitable dairy farms in America.
The butter maker who tries to pro
duce good butter and cheese from poor
milk has a harder task before him than
reaching the north pole. Dairymen,
take note of this, as you aerate your
milk, and wash and scald the dairy
utensils.—American Cultivator.
Innide Storag for Roots
Whe carrots or turnips are stored
outside they cannot always be reached
when desired for use, and it will there
fore be advantageous to store some of
them in bins in a dry cellar. If packed
in perfectly dry sawdust, oats, corn, or
even dry earth, they will keep well and
can be taken out of the bins at any time.
It is the alternate freezing and thaw
in that damages all root crops stored
away in winter, but as the packing ma
terial keeps them at an even tempera
ture this liability is avoided. Th oats
or corn used forth purpose will not be
injured, and a be fed while using
the roots in the bin.
CONVINCING ARGUMENT.
Some Point W the Opponents of
Roa Improvemen Woul
W to Consider.
The country roads of the United
States are probably in worse condi
tion than in any other thoroughly civ
ilized country. This is not due alto
gether to neglect or lack of material,
but is due somewhat to the undeveloped
condition of the country in general.
The cost of primary transportation, to
the railroads, in rural districts is often
greater than the remaining transpor
tation of hundreds of miles. I many
cases the expense of primary transpor
tation precludes the possibility of grow
ing perishable crops. Bu that is only
one phase of the subject. I is agreed
that man's social instincts must be fa
vored and cultivated if he is to keep up
with the advancement of the times.
Bad roads interfere mosi seriously with
society, education and lcWgion, and for
this reason if for none other, it will
pay the people of a county, in hard
cash, to repair the roads, or build new
ones. Amon other improvements that
follow fast upon the improvements of
country roads is the rural free mail de
livery. This, with the increased fa
cilities for traveling and transporta
tion, and the heightened value of lands,
will certainly repay all trouble and ex
pense in road-building. The process of
centralizing the country school would
be greatly accelerated by good roads.
Bad roads are the great obstacle, for
as roads are now, hauling the children
to the township center is impossible in
many places. The two—good roads and
centralized schools are reciprocal.
The one promotes the other. The cost
of improved roads is the mountain in
the way of realization. But this moun
tain would become a mole-hill if ap
proached fearlessly. If the present gen
eration would make up its mind to bear
part of the cost and enjoy the bene
fits, ihe difficulty would disappear. The
improvement must come, sooner or
later. If the farm does not pay part
of the cost during the father's lifetime,
it must pay it during the son's lifetime
and ownership or the grandson's. Why
wade through mud, yourself, for ten.
20 or 20 years, and then leave your
farm in the mud You can leave your
children a far better legacy by pro
moting this one great improvement,
and you can enjoy its benefits and ad
vantages yourself. A farmer of our ac
quaintance recently put up a monu
ment for himself and wife, with names
and dates of birth all engraved, and
space left for date of death. "It has
to be done," he said, "and it must be
paid for by the farm. I think I can do
it now as well as my children could dc
it after I am gone, and perhaps bet
ter, and at less cost. Besides, 1 have
the satisfaction of knowing it is done.
and well done." This is the kernel oi
the argument in favor of good roads
improvement.—Ohio Farmer.

ease. Th boards of each panel overlap,

slight opening would be left.—Orange
Judd Farmer.
Powerfu Roa E in
Mr. John J. Thornycroft, an English
authority on steam engines, recently
maintained before the British associa
tion that road steam engines, by a
slight alteration of the laws, can be sc
constructed as to be of the highest
value to trade. affirmed they could
be made to carry loads of 12 tons at
four miles an hour, a'nd that with tires
of 18 inches width they would not injure
the roads more than horses do, as they
would act as steam rollers. Mr. Thor
nycroft expressed no doubt of the prac
ticability of his plan and claimed that
it would work a revolution in agricul
ture, as it would allow of the free trans
mission of lime, manure and heavy tim
ber to points where they might be
needed. Th only unsettled point in
the problem is the substitution of some
other material for rubber in the tires,
as rubber costs too much. I is be
lieved, however, that this can be done
by some different treatment of wood.
The Importanc of Grading
Good roads add materially to the
value of any country. A recent visit
in the rural sections convince* us that
the two important factors in the im
provementof roadsare the cutting down
of grades and a thorough drainage to
prevent the damage done to roads by
streams of water flowing from water
sheds. I is a waste of money simply to
repair the surface of the road while
permitting high grades to continue,
preventing the transport of economical
loads of wood or farm produce. Th
practice should also be condemned of
covering bowlders and rocks in the
roadway with earth in the fall. They
should be removed by blasting or by
the use of the crowbar, thus remedy
ing the trouble once for all.—American
Cultivator.
a Seedless Grave W a
Will some one develop a black seed
less grape? W have white seedles*
grapes, but suitable only to the climate
of California, and now we want a good
black grape without seeds. Such a
grape would sell at a fancy price on

causes many people to take out the
seeds when eating grapes, awd this
greatly detracts from the pleasure of
grape eating. A grape of the charac
ter described would bring a good deal

"It was during the festival week," he said,

State street, and, happening to look in one
of the big store windows, saw a pile of books,
which reminded me of a commission given

"As I came out into the crowd on the

to catch the would-be thief, a tough-looking
young man, who skipped off in the crowd

In 1706 William Penn bought from the
Indians a tract of land bounded on the east
by the Delaware, on the west by the Nesh
aminy, and running as far north "as a man
can go" in 1£ days. After his death his son,
Thomas Penn, thought it would be a good
idea to survey the undary. On August 25,
1737, this was done.
Three men lined up for the start, James
Yeates, a lean Yankee Solomon Jennings
aDd Edward Marshall, an old hunter. The
sheriff, the surveyors and a number of In
dians who wanted to see fair play accom
panied them on horseback.
