Often has lake or stream been dragged

Not ten pnccs. from my door grows the
plantain, universal companion Of tho tillcr
of the soil, usually destroyed as mean
weed, which 1t is, but ''givo the devil his
due" as they say, and let lis take out
this plant what we can. If a shoe has
rubbed foot (and it often happens with us
poor clodhoppors,) just slip clean fresh
plantain leaf between the sore place and the
leather and then think OF this. Lay the
plants Oh hot stove until wilted and lay
them as q poulticc, on Il sore or intlamma-
ton and it will give relief. Not far of is

its leaves and pour little whisky on them,
strain it and you have wash for rubbed
shoulders or back Of horse, and no other
wash can excel in tho way of healing. The
seed Of it fried in lard and tho grease used
as an application for the piles will give re-
lief equal to anything that can be bought
The burdock and ncttlc both denominations
to the husbandman, have their good quail
ties. The roots will make a tea that will
purify the blood, and put stop to the big
gcst nest of boils ever Matching on mans
body. The tea is bitter and not pleasant to
take, but this is the case with nearly all
medicine. The leaves of the common
privct are sure cure for sore mouths,
simply by chewing the leaves and letting
them rest on the sore in tho mouth, and is
not half as nasty as chew Of tobacco. If
this is not on the grounds, piece of poach
leaf will be often quite relief.

Another lady makes an article which sells
readily for Sl.60 per pound, and which
experts pronounce stronger and of superior
flavor to the impOgteu article
The remaining question to be solved is :
Can tea be grown in this country as Il pro-
fitablc market crop? The cultivation of the
plant is as simple ~ that of the gooscbcrry
The plants only need to be set in rows
thoroughly titled and properly pruncd to
induce low, compact growth and album
dcncc of shoots. No olcavcs should he picked
until the fourth year from planting, TO
insure robust, healthy and wcll-cstubished
growth 50 that they will endure the strain
of successive strippings, for under the best
conditions the. leaves are picked several
times each yeur. What are these condi-
tions? In the first place, rich, loamy
soil is indispensable, and the strength OF the
ground should be sustained by fertilizers
The climate must be warm, for although
the plant vii! endure Il zero chill, it thrives
best where the summers are long, and
where the temperature is never lower than
six or eight dcgs. below freezing The
last necessary condition is abundant moist
urc. In India the rainfall is from so to
100 inches per annun, and it is doubtful
whether tho leaves would form with sulfl-
Cicut IaplIity w nltikc tlllS crop successful
in any part of tbs country where the annual
rainfall is less than GO inches, and even
this should he ditfuscd pretty equally over
the spring and summer months Of course
where irrigation is possible the rainfall is
of less Importance
There is only Ole way Of learning whether
these and other essential conditions, if such
there be, exist together in this country TO
degree which would insure success. Per
haps the Government might accomplish,
something if it would cease to rely on in
direct methods Of encouraging experiment,
which can only be desultory and unsatis-
factory, and begin some persistent trials Of
its own OH Il scale Of sufficient magnitude
to settle the question conclusivcly. An
appropriation Of $50, 600 would be sufficient
to purchase and stock farm of ample size
in what seems favorable location, aud it
would cover all ncedful expenses for
series of experiments for term of years
1t would then be found what quantity of
leaves an acre would yield, and what would
be the cost of picking and curing. Until
some satisfactory data on these points arc
established, private enterprise will hardly
grapple with such an uncertain undcrtakGg
and wait several years for results Many
acute observers haze faith that the United
States will yet produce its own tea, nnd
better lea than is now consumed here

Tcn Culture In America,

1t is an established fact that the tea plant
will grow in the United States. Specimens
were nourishing in Charleston nursery as
early as 1912, and in 1848, Junius Smith,
of Grcenvillc, S. G., made an attempt at
cultivating the plant, which was, however,
abandoned before any conclusive evidence
was furnished for or against this industry
becoming a profitable venture In 1868,
our Government, through the Commissioner
OF Patents, imported 10000 plants from
China, which soon increased to $4,000, and
these were distributed through the Southern
States. In 1862, tho Department of Agri-
culture continued to propagate plants and
furnished them to all who applied for them,
but under the prevalent belief that so much
manipulation was needed in the manufact-
urc of the article that wc could not compete
with tire cheap labor of Asiatics, no special
effort was made to disseminate the plants
Reports Of the success in India now began
to arrest attention, and the Department was
stimulated to secure more seed and begin
the propagation Of the plants in earnest
In 1867, 1t was found that an abundance of
seed could be obtained from the plants al
ready growing In tho South. Since 1868
from $1,000 to 15, 900 plants were distribu-
ted every year until 1876, when encouraging
assurances from planters led to still more
oxtcnslveo pcrations, 80 that l 200, 900 plants
have been sent out during the last throc
years, and the Department has some 120, 900
now on hand All this has been dono with
the intention Of rendering tho cultivation Of
tea popular as domestic product, AMI with
the hopo that public interest would be
ultimately directed to its cultivation as. on
article of commercial value. One more
fact has been established on undonbted tes.
timony. A good quality of tea can be pro.
duced here. Even with the imperfect
knowledge of planters as to tho proper time
for picking and the proper means of curing,
an article has been produced which expert.
enced dealers pronounce very good. It has
been tested in Washington and other cities
with the same result. One lady In Colum

WHAT TIE INCREASE CONSISTS IN.
1t is always interesting to know what
this lncrease consists in. An examination
OF the reports OF Collectors Of Customs,
which have been received in detail for the
eight months ending August, show, among
other things, that during that period, com.
pared with the corresponding period OF
the previous year, there was an increase
OF 81, 0O0O0 in the value OF horned cattle
shipped abroad; an increase OF SIG, 467, ZOO
in the value Of wheat shipped, and an in
crease OF S2,362,0O0 in the exports OF
wheat flour. But at the same time there
was falling of Of over S5,O00,0OO in the
exports oil cosn, apd Of nearly $1,000 900
in the exports OF barley,
The largest decrease was In the exports
of cotton, which fell from SllS,6l6, OBS,
during the first eight months OF 1875 to
sos, 7Sl ,401 in the corresponding period OF
1879. ...
The exports OF illuminating oil fell off
about s., 900 900, and there was a decrease
of over 100000 in the exports of bacon
and hams. The quantity exported was
larger by FIVE per cent than during the
previous year, but the price was very
much lower. There was falling off Of
s., 600, 900 in the export Of cheese; but the
exports OF butter increased from S3,45S,-
las in 1878 to $, 564, 7S9 in 1879.
There was remarkable increase in the
