Una,d the forthoom-fng annual report willgive a glowing mcount

industry in th UniteStates. Last suuerthe frst. pickings weretaken from plants thatsprouted in 1609. Theproduct, submitted to

"port tea tasters and merehants, has been pro-nounced emllent and readily marketable at a

high pries. It is declared to have a characterdistin6 from the teas of any other eorntry.There Is reason to believe that it can be grownwith prodl on a comerolnt scale, Not requir-fog special ouring for export, like Chinese andJapanese tas, the leaves en be dried for do-

eti, bbade and sel in bricks like other herbs.Ten yearesao the Department of Agriculture

Issued requests to consuls at tea portsfor seeds of the beet tees. Experimentaldeus have bee established near Summ= ,.a., where plants of Japanese, Chinese, For-mesa and Assam hybrid varieties are undereultivation. The irst season's crop was thirty-

of the cured article per acre. itSI-pounds of fresh leaves to make one-

ynd of cured tea. It is expected that fromto 5oo pounds per sore of fresh tea can be

raised yearly. In China the cost of pcking is1 cent per pound of cured tea. Thecost inSouth Crolina in 6 eents a pound.

TER ooT OF ANInIOAN TRA.On account of this difference in the price of

labor American tees can only compete withhigh-prioed Imported grades. It is estimatedthat the cost of raising a pound of tea In SouthCarolina is 20 cents, in addition to the rental ofthe land. If suecessful this new field for agri-eultural enterprise will furnish an easy outdooroooupation for many who are unequal torougher employment in the fields. Taking anave every man, woman and child in theU dStates consumes twenty-one ounces oftea per annum. Just half of it comes from

p42per cent from Japan and the balencefrm sad other British posseesions.The first plant of this species grown in South

Carolina was set out by ichaux, the Frenchbotanist, in 18, fifteen miles from Charleston.During the latter half of this century people inthat section have cultivated little patches andlarger na of tea, which have producederope""ain avor, though usually not stronge h to satisfy many drinkers. It to be-

, however, that the failure of pungencyhas been due to defective curing. Many fam-Ilies in that part of the country tcday growwhat tea they require for household use. AFayetteville (N. C.) man writes that half adozen bushes furnish his family of six parsonswith more tea than they can consume. Himwife prepares it by heating the leaves in anoven until they are wilted, squeezing them byhand until the juice as expressedfrom them andfinally drying them again in the oven. The teais then fragrant and ready for use.Thete plant is ever green. If left to follow

the intention of nature It assumes the form of aslender tree from fifteen to twenty feet inheight. When grown for its leaves it has theappearance of a low spreading bush, being keptout down. It bears a beautiful white dowerwith little scent. Bees are very fond of theblosoms. The seeds resemble hazel nuts.They have a hard shell and a bitter kernel. Theeapsules of these teanut. make very pleasantbitters. In some parts of the south they areheld to be as good for malarial fevers asquinine.

T ceurIxA naQUIuIED.Tea is usually considered to require a hot and

damp climate. It cannot be too warm ifsufficiently moist. It is said that a pleasantelimate to live in cannot be good for tea. Agood tea climate cannot be a healthy one.

ver and tea go together. Such are theopinions generally accepted on this subject.Nevertheless, tea that is grown in temperateclimates is liked much better by many people.It certainly has a more delicate flavor, thoughmuch weaker. Teas that are grown at moderateelevations in the Himalayas fetch good pricesin the London market. The point is that teawill grow almost anywhere, but in not manyelimate@ will it pay. An ideal climate for pro-ducing it is that of eastern Bengal, where thethermometer never goes down below fifty-fivedegrees, and there is sometimes twenty-Avefeet of rainfall in a year.In 1858 the United States government

obtained 0000 tean ts from China-trans-ported in iaxes fildwith soil, in which theseeds were sown just previous to shipment.The plants avge eighteen inches in hihon arriving in Washington. They were at onceplaced under propagation, and in a short timethe stock was increased to 80,000 plants, whichwere distributed through the southern states.The propegation and dissemination of theplant. formed an important feature In the

ootiuof the agricultural bureau, then advision of the patent offie, until 1861, whenthewarputeaetop to the business forthetinobeing.After the war fresh supplIes of seed were Im-

parted from Japan. But in 1867 it was foundthat an abundance of tea seed could be pro-cured In some of the southern states fromplants given away In 1858. For several yearsthep artet of Agriculture distributed an-nually frm 5,000 to 10,000 plants, reaching20,000 in 1876. By this means it was expectedto ppularize the culture of tea as a domestic

prdut, with the hope that public interestwould In time be directed to its cultivation asan article of commercial value. Encouragedby reports of successful culture, eupplementedby samples of manufactured tea of excellentquality, the department devoted increased at-tention to the propagation and distribution ofplants. In 1876 and 1879 the number dissemi-nated roee to 80,000 par annum.

Tm cULTrvArroN SnrPL.E.Thne cultivation of the tea plant is as simple

as that of the currant or gooseberry. The seedsshould be sown In nursery rowe and the plantsset out at the end of a year, fve feet apart.No leavee should be gathered until the fourthveer, and the plant. should be robust andhnealthy before picking begins, for that processweakens them. A fair picker will collecttwenty-five pounds of leaves in a day's work.The early srng pickings make the best tees.

These yield tefamous Young Hyson. At thisperiod the leaf is very thin, having a large pro-portion of juios as compard with the solidmatter, and is dried usualy of a green color,retaining a most delicious flavor. This gradeof tea seldom reaches distant markets, as Itspeedily ferment. If put up in masses for'abip-ment, and can only be conveyed in small quan-tities by land routes. It is unknown in thiscountry and is one of the luxuries In store whentea culture becomes an American industry.

It is poualy supposed that black and greenteas are difrent varieties. In fact, they arethe same, the color depending on the methodof curing the leaves for market. Various kindsof tea are olassihed according to the age of theleaf. For the sake of illustration, here isabranch of a tea plant.

In preparing black tea the leaves are htwithered by being exposed to fte am fsr anhour. They are then rolled and twisted to getrid of part of the Julea. Next theyare made upinto small belle, which are placed in shallowbamboo trays and se in a sunny plece to Or-ment. During this process the leaves lose theirraw odor and acquire the desired flavor. Afterfermentation the Waves are exposed Ins thinlayer to the sun, which turns them frem greento black. Then they are placed in a tray overa charcoal fire to dry. This is called "firing."The fnal operation consists 'in passing theleaves through sieves of diferent meshes, afterwhich they are peaked.Such is the method used in Japan. In India

it is simplified, fewer persons being employed.The Japanese semetimes prdpare what theycall "lat tes," the Ives not being rolldThey are from plants whih have been ept indarkness for a week or two before picking.Kee gthem from the light is aid to developan eqite aroma. Teas of India are usuallythree times as strong as Chinese and Japaneseteas, so that they are chiedy used to give "body"to the weaker tew by being mined with them.Te manipulation of the product in India, afterpic g, is wholly done by machinery, whereasit Is abond work In China. In fact, the Chi-nese use their feet in rolling someof theahegrades. For green tea the waves are ststeamed slightly, after which come the relingand drying.

teas are sold in the markets of the UnitedStates. One mothed of sophistication to to in-troduce leaves of other plants. This adesofcheat is readily deteeted by means of the mi-rose. The te leaf possus so marked acharae r of it own, in respect to its veins andserrated edges, that it sannot be mistaken.What is called "lie tea" In China is an Imita-tion usually containing fragments or dust ofthe genuine leaves, foreign leaves and mineralmatters, held together by a starch sointios andcolored by a "facing" preparation. Tea issometimee falsiied by the addition of spent orprtly exhausted leaves-in other words, old

aves dried for use sacond-hand.This is a frauddifilcult to prove, though weakness of thebeverage may eause it to be suspected. Some-times teas are treated with catechu to increasetheir apparent strength. This can only be dia-oovered by chemical taste.The teas exported from China and Japan are

nearly always "faced" with some mixture toimpart a color or gloss to the leaves. Thepreparations employed for this purpose con-tain Prussian blue, tumoric, indigo and plum-bago. Damaged and imperfect leaves aretreated in this way to Improve their appearance.The substance most commonly used for blackte is plumbago-black lead. The ueas on-samed by the Japase and Chinese themselvesare never faced. There is no evidence thatthese quasi-adulterants are injurious to health.Prussian blue is set down in the United Statesdispensatory as a tonis and alterative, thoughrarely used medicinally. The doe is ive-hun-dredthe of a drachm. To take that amount inthe form of tee facing one would have to eon-sume a pound of tea.Tea has been used by the Chinese from re-

mote antiquity. It was introduced into Japanearly In the ninth century. It is supposed tohave been Arst brought to Europe about 1577by the Portuguese, who established at thatperiod a trade with the far emt. In 166" theEast India Company sent two pounds of ten toEngland as a present to the king, which wouldindicate that the article was considered a rarity.
