Tea. not from leaves, but from the
flowers alone of the plant, is rarely en-.
countered In commerce. The petals.
stamens, etc. are sun dried. and the
resulting tea is OF rich, deep brown
hue of peculiarly delicate oder. and
gives pale amber colored infusion
rather more astringent In taste than
that from the average fair grade leaf.
The taste for It is an acquired one,
and even IL this tea could be made
commercially possible, It Is doubtful IL
It would ever become popular.
The American tea trade could adj
vantageously take q suggestion from
the brick tea of the far east. In our

is good quality, is not properly
utilized In Europe II is a regular
article of trade, and It Is advertised
and sold as tea dust In America It Is

LINING SOILS.
Make Tests With Blue Litmus Paper
Before Applying Lime.

The acidity or alkalnity Of the soil
may be tested by the use Of blue lit.
mus paper, which can be secured OF
any druggist. The litmus test may be
made by moistening portion OF the
soil so that 1t will stick together. and
inserting the lltmus paper in Il cut
made with knife, and closing the
soil together compactly around the
paper. II within n half hour or less
the litmus paper turns pink the need
OF lime is indicated. Where tests are
not made, and the soil has not been
lined for years, It is much safer to
lime than to run the risk OF the alfalfa
or other crops being killed out by
the acidity OF the soils. The amount
that should be applied ~varies with
different soils, clay soils requiring
n heavier application than sandy soils.
On clay soils which have not been
lined In many years about one ton
per acre should be applied. while
soils in which the acidity has been
partially corrected should receive
proportionate amount On sandy or
humus exhausted soils II ia not adj
visable to put or more than one thous-
and pounds at one time, for lime is
an indirect fertilizer. and llberates
plant food by Fastening decomposi-
ton of the organic matter in the soil,
and thus reduces its fertility. Clay
soils are more retentive of plant food,
so that less is lost by this decomposi.
ton, and, Furthermore, the clay soils
are improved greatly In texture by
the collection Of the smaller particles
OF the soil into larger ones.
Oyster shell lime or stone lime is
generally used, though other sub.
stances. such as mari, may be used
more economically, where they can
be obtained on the iarm for the ex.
pense of digging. The lime should
be applied on the surface, and worked
In with the surface soil. and II should
be put on In as active a condition as
possible, To do this the lime should
be slaked with water, and as soon as
slaked should be spread as evenly
as possible. II may be applied with
shovel, or with the lime attachment

Gently been put on the market. says
the Journal of Agriculture, is a finely

TRUSTED TO THE MOSQUITOES.
All Officer Had to Do Was Sit on the
Bank and Wait.

County Game Warden Charles Dan.
iel trusts to nature and that accounts
for the capture OF Dugull Bell living
on Anchor street, River Rouge. The
other morning Charles went out TO
round up some duck hunters. Down
the road near the marshlands he saw
Bell making away with a mud hen. He
gave chase. OvertakIng Dugull, that
worthy hunter did the only thing left
for him to do--leaped into the bog.
Daniels 200 pounds didn't permit him
to follow. So he sat down on the
bank and waited.
Out in the bog, waist deep, stood
Dugull. On the bank, lazily smoking,
the warden smiled rs he saw an army
of mosquitoes approaching. He COW
cred his head with the automobile
robe. Under cover he could hear the
buzzing and imagine the rest. When
the buzzing ceased he looked at Du.
gull. Big welts covered his face, neck
and hands. He didn't say word.
Daniel waited. Two hours later Bell
said, I've had enough" lie came
out OF the bog, was arrested and later
released on his promise to appear In
court,-Detroit News.
