Brooks Ne.

The Charleston Ncirs aud Courier
says: Since Gen. lie Due made his
hrst inquiry. we have discovered thAa
specimen tea plants have been and are
now growing successfully In moro than
half the countics III the State, and that
in two or three places it's fruit (cap-
sules) had been administered in cases
of fever and ague.
Had or could the adaptability OF the
soil and cllmate Of any Northern State
have been SO easily proven for the
growth OF this plant, we would have
had furnaces for drying tea leaves.
manufactures for converting tea can
sules INTO quinine, and the Heathen
Chlnee would now be looking for some
other nation 10 pay him an annual
bonus OF 80, 900. 90 for his hyson, gun
powder, black, green and other hero
g~lyphically caddIed teas.
We once gave a Northern friend \
Jar OF what Il called sweet pickles "
lie was delighted with them, and n,
once asked, Why don YOU Southern
people manufacture this thing for
the Northern market They are far
superior to anything we can buy here
IN market That Is the reason whv
they succeed better than We do the,
eve have IN eye TO profitably utilizing
what they have.
\ Northern friend, now .oiourning
in Aiken IN this State writes us as fol,
lows concerning the tea plant:
Two weeks ( | noticed in the
NeUs and Courier your article on the
tea plant. ] am an invalid spending
the winter with Mr.. ). OFT, a practical
florist and gardener. Mr.. OFT has in
his garden a fine lot of tea plants grow
ing and doing well. He says on the
sandy soils OF South Carolina the only
thing necessary to insure success il to
set out the plants, not deep, and give
them a thorough mulching OF pine
straw. The object of this mulching
Is to protect the roots from the heat OF
the sun. Let the ground be covered
around the plants Just in proportion Il
the length OF the roots, as nearly a.
practicable.
| have had some talk with planters
here IN relation to planting upland
rice. Why would ii not be \ coed thing
for this part of the State! Every plan

CarbOlic acid is destructive to all the
lower forms Of insect and vegetable
life, while it is i%nnocuous to the
higher hence, it forms one Of the best
meaes Of protection against the
Of noXious insects and malariai de-
posts. The crude acid In open vessels
d%isinfects the diseased atmosphere, and
diluted and incorporated in other
forms it DESTROYS all insect life upon
trees and plants. The best manner Of
applying it In the latter case. that We
have noticed, is that prescribed by /.
I. Southland, OF Rochester, y. l.. III the
Gardeners Monthly. He says Il OBJ
tain crude carbolIc acid | use it III
this form because IL Is stronger and
better for the purpose. and costs very
little about p cents a gallon. l think
l pour a quantity Of TINS dark, crude
acid into a quantity of good strong soft
soar stir well together. and allow 10
stand for a few hours. then test the
compound by mixing a little OF 1t with
soft water. If too much acid has been
added, oily PARTICLES Of carbollc acid
will be observed floating OF the sur
face. This shows that more acid has
been put IN than the oap will moor
pOrate or cut. an1 more Dap should
be added to balance the excess Of acid.
No more definite rule can b given, a.
so much depends on the strength Of
the soap. Two or three tablespoonful
OF the acid to a quart OF soap may be
first tried. / prefer - make a. strong
with acid as the soap will perfectly cut.
A very little practice VIII enable an.
one to compound it correctly. The r.
fined acid may b. used when the crude
is not at hand. When prepared -
above, make a moderately strong 5ui5.
and apply with syringe or sponge. Ii
using on very delicate plants. should
any fear be felt for the plants, they
can be rinsed off after n few minutes.

The Governor of the leper settle

Islands, is dead. He was the son Of
an American father and a Hawaiian
Mother, and his name was William +.
RagSdale. He was, until his Danish

the kingdom and his influence was
such that. had he SO desired, he might
have easily avoided being sent to live
among the lepers. He vas the first
to discover the disease in himself, his
attention being called to the fact by
the failure of a hot lamp chimney to
burn his fingers when he picked it up.
He Immediately gave information TO
to the authorities, and insisted on be-
ing banished to Molokai. He was soon
appointed Governor of the settlement.
and his rule of the 800 lepers has been
remarkably wise and kind. He mar
ried a young woman there, and seems
to have tried to be as happy as possible
with the certainty of an early death be

A correspondent of a foreign ex-
change a that the only reliable
means of Kidding the hen-roost and
pigeon-loft of vermin is a preparation
of sulphur and carbon. In France it
has been thoroughly tested, and we
are assured that it works Ikea charm.
1t kills the insects which prey upon
pigeons and fowls, without iniuring
the birds. a bottle containing the So
luton will last several days, and the
cost is small. Put two Ounces of the
sulphuret of carbon in a bottle open at
the mouth and hang it by a string IN
hen house. At the end of eight days
the bottle should be retilled. The rem
edy is said to be infallible. If as good
as claimed to be. it should be known
to every farmers wife and poultry
raiser in the land.-TurJ. Field and
