GRANGE of the leaves
one handicap to the American tea grower
VINO wishes to profit by the work of these

any tariff on tea imported from abroad
whereas even free-trade England imposes

Ville farm can retail its best quality of
green tea at 81 per pound, ard some of the
grades can be marketed profitably at 40
cents per pound wholesale.
But as long we continue to import
chiefly the inferior and cheap teas of the
orient, where labor is obtained at 10 cents
per day, there win be small chance for the
American producer not protected by an i'm
port duty The labor-savins inventions be-
ing developed by Dr. Shepard at the Sum
merville station reduce to a minimum the
necessity of human hands touching the
product after 1t has been sterilized. The
tea which We import from the far orient.
however, is put up by hand in dirty, often
disgustingly filthy. factories where are hud-
died together in an ill-ventilated space the
uncleanly and often unhealthy laborers.
DR.. Shepard's recipe for making the most
wholesome tea is as follows:
Freshly drawn water brought quickly to
a boil, should be poured into the tea, prefer
ably in previously scalded pot, and then
kept warm under "coZy.' but away from
the fire, for five minutes at the longest; IL
should then be strained and no further use
made of the spent leaves. The better the
tea the less may be the temperature and
the shorter the period of infusion. tea
that requires boiling should be avoided as
its liquor is apt TO contain too much tan
nine, and thus must be preJudicial to
health A second extraction of tea leaves
Is most reprehenslble.
