CULTIVATION OF TEA.
The Methods Employed by the Farmers
China and Japan.

The Methods Employed by the Farmers a.
China and Japan.
There are usyeral different varieties
of the tea-plant. but the various kinds
of the leaf known 10 commerce are
mainly influenced by soil in which the
plant is produced and the different
manner in which the leaf is prepared
In China the tea-plaut blossoms in No
vember. and by the next autumn the
seeds are ripe. These are then kept
in sand until the following spring.
when they are planted. When about
eighteen inches high. the top shoots
Of the plant are pinched of to make
them grow in bushy form When the
plants are three years old they yield
their first picking of leaves. They
attain their maximum yield when
about ten years old, and then deteri-
crate, giving way to young plants.
Naturally the plant would grow to the
height of tree. but for the convent
ence Of picking it is kept prnned down
TO FIVE feet The earliest picking OF
the tea leaves is made the first OF
April This consists OF the buds and
the very youngest leaves. and though
the smallest picking OF the year. Is
the most valuable. because OF the fine
flavor of the young leaf. The largest
crop Of the year is picked about the
first OF May. and there is a picking
Of inferior quality in July, and IN
some localities one OF old and poor
leaves even later. The leaves when
picked. are first exposed to the sun
and air in shallow baskets; then they
are stirred in heated pans. and then
are spread upon table. where work
men take them in small handfuls and
rub them to roll them into the form
which they finally retain For fine
teas there are repeated heatings and
airings. and. before packing. they arc
spread upon table. and the imper-
fectly rolled leaves are removed. and
the dust and fine fragments sifted out.
II the process OF drying is completed
as rapidly as possible after picking.
the tea remains green. but for black
tea the process is prolonged. The
very bright green teas are said TO be
dried in copper pans, and sometimes.
It is said. small quantity OF Prussian
blue is rubbed with them while drying
TO produce the brilliant color. Tho
Chinese districts in which tea is ex-
tensiyely raised lie between latitude
% and 81 degrees north. Tea is also
extensively cultivated In Japan. in In
dia. and on the Island OF Java. also to
some extent on some OF the South
Sea islands. Some successful expari-
inents have boon made in raising tea
In this country. both In the Southern
States and In California. The cost OF
labor here Is the great difficulty, as
there Is much slow and tedious work
necessary In cultivAting the plant and

cookie burrs came in Iowa. but little
was done to eradicate them and grad

farm. Many sowed their fields 10

We found IL pail best to be very care

cover up every one possible and then
in the usually leisure time just after
the harvest. 20 go through the corn
with the hoes. taking two rows at a
time cutting every one out In three
yeas we were completely rid OF th.m.
But il was necessary to be watchful
afterwards. a. seed is so easily carried
on stock and scattered over fields
again. There is no good excuse for
any farmer raising cookie burrs. but it
takes vigilance TO prevent their
growth and spread, Having farmed in
one locality for thirty years which we
might say way was one peculiarly well
adapted to them. we know whereof we
speak.
On going to Kansas and purchasing
farm. We found it covered with the
gay. yellow -colored sunnower. and
while not so obnoxious as the Iowa
burrs. they were voted nuisance at
once, and one TO be abated. The oat
and wheat fields were thick with them.
These we allowed to grow together
until the harvest" The fields were
then plowed. being very careful that
all were turned under that had
grown up after the crop was cut. and
watch WAS kept until frost time. for any
possible missed one. In the corn. the
same measures were adopted as with
the burrs. except that il is but little
use to cut of with hoes. as the stubs
grow quickly again. and pulling up is
safest. unless it is quite late in the
season. There being no fences. and
the roadsides quite smooth and level,
they were moved. thus checking their
growth. besides securing quite an
amount OF hay. As their blossoms are
quite conspicuous. and our farms being
level. it could all be taken in at a
glance II was really but little trouble
to get rid OF them in a great measure.
and our second and last season found
but very few TO contend with. and we
knew of none going to seed either
season.
We were much surprised TO find land
close to the county town, which had
sold at rates running from 500 TO sl5o
an acre, covered with them almost to
the exclusion OF any crop. and the
roadsides along otherwise fine and
valuable farms standing thick with
them. and higher than the backs OF
the teams traversing them Every
farmer might rid his own premises OF
them and little concerted action
might do the same for the whole
county. As to this locality We are

to secure as good market for it as
possible. Whether he can do best by
selling at home, sending il to the COM

up some special customer to whom he
can send direct viii be for him to de-

seem to be best in the end, that is to
have no stated market, but selling
first TO one and then to another,
wherever for the time the best price
may be obtained. Perhaps for a few
weeks or months, il there is some COM
petition. he may get a little more
money, but it will be at the expense
of finding steady market and obtain
ing a reputation for his product. which
is very desirable in the course of years
