If your tea is good, it is
cheap; if it is not good, it
is dear, no matter what you
pay for it-you had better
drink water.
But good tea is better
than water sometimes, be-
cause it tastes good, and
whatever tastes good makes
the stomach work right.
So good tea-ScAizIiMg's

Poison in Fodder.

Did any one ever hear that green
corn fodder is a poison for cows?
The writer has two fine blooded COWS,
and this summer one of them has
been sick. She has had the ''scour-
ers'' and run down to a mere skele-
ton. We fed our COWS green corn
fodder the fore part of the summer,
and some one has stated that it was
poisonous. We never heard it before.
The COW is coming to her appetite
now, and will probably recover en-
tirely; but we lose a years use of
her. What caused the trouble is be-
yond our apprehension, unless the
corn fodder that we fed her created
the disease-Palatka Times-Herald.
Commenting on the above the
Fruit Grower suggests that probably
the injury was done by the excreta
of the bud worms, the same cause
that often produces blind staggers.

the wind from forests of pine and al
lied species and falling to the earth
miles from it's source. The pine flow
ers are odorless, inconspicuous and
possess no nectar, but have abundant
pollen; hence, we see it is the wind
in this case that does the work of
cross-fertilizing.
Flowers that do not possess copious
pollen must depend on insects to car
ry on the work of Decentralization.
To accomplish this end, the blossoms
seem to vie with each other in their
endeavor to look the most attractive,
and they appear to smile in their
most bewitching manner that they
may receive a call from insects. They
also show their preference, as before
stated for certain kinds.
Let us review the culture of tOma-
toes in the greenhouse, that we may
more plainly see the value of our in
sects in growing vegetables of fruits.
Here you may supply by artificial
means the soil, light, heat and moist
ure that the plants would have in a
garden, but you deprive them of their
true friends the insects. What is the
outcome of this? Your plants will
grow and blossom, and you would
think that you would have a good
'rop, but you are doomed to disap-
continent. Insects are absent and
fertilization has not been accomplish
ed. In order to get a good crop, all
hat is necessary is for you to take
the esponsibility of the insects upon
our own shoulders and do the work
f fertilzing by hand. This process is
called "pollenating," and is done by
busting pollen from one flower to an
other. A slow process indeed, but a
necessity. Mr.. Garvin in his paper
yesterday while speaking about
strawberry culture, said the pistilate
varieties Of plants gave the best re-
suits, but that in using these kind of
plants, about every third or fourth
row must be set with staminate varie-
ties to fertilize the pistilate ones. Now
how would this fertilization take
place if it were not for insects?
From these few remarks, hope you
will be lead to understand that all of
our insects are not so injurious as is
generally supposed, and that flowers
have an object in existing beyond
their beauty, which nature says shall
be accomplished by the aid of insects.
