HOMEGROWN TEA.
Advantages Pointed Out by the Agri-
cultural Department.

To grow your own tea and have an orna-
mental hedge besides is the latest blessing
issued from the Department Of Agriculture
in Bulletin 301, HOMEGROWN Tea" by
George +. Mitchell. Innocent amusement is
also combined with material advantages,
for as the pamphlet points out, children.
as well as older members of the family,
may derive abundant pleasure in plucking
and making the leaves into tea
Tea may be grown anywhere in the
southern or gulf states where the soil is well
drained and the annual rainfall exceeds
fifty inches. Seeds are to be planted in
autumn or winter, just before rain, in
some protected spot being put in little
holes, one at time and about four inches
apart frame, six feet above ground.
covered with shelter provided with cracks
about an inch and a half apart to let in
some sunlight, is necessary to the success
Of the experiment. After the plants are
about two years old they may be taken
from shelter and placed in rows for orna-
mental purposes.
Three ounces Of cured tea Is the aver
age crop per plant, that q hundred
plants will yield about eighteen pounds a
year. AS pound makes about 400 cups Of
tea the bulletin calculates that SO plants
should furnish a cup Of tea apiece to
family of nine for every day in the year.
Processes for preparing the black or
green leaf are mnutely described in the
bulletin no utensils being required except
those to be found in the ordinary kitchen

BREEDING CANARIES.
Interesting Facts Published by the
Agricultural Department.

Breeding canaries for the home market is
an infant industry-and unprotected, at
that-whch has hardly cut its teeth in the
United States More than 100000 canaries
are imported yearly and find a ready mar
ket
There are the bow-shaped birds from
Scotland; the high-shouldered, small-head-
ed product of Belgium; the long and slim
Yorkshire singer. and the Lancashire coop
py," a giant among canaries, all the result
Of fancy breeding But the standard bird
remains that brought from the vicinity OF
st. Andreasburg. in the Hartz mountains,
where the peasants make a yearly revenue
of more than 100000 from the traffic.
Henry Oldys, assistant in the biological
survey, points out in a paper included IN
the recently issued year book of the De-
partment of Agriculture that foreign coun-
tries enjoy a virtual monopoly in the song
bird trade. The former extensive trade in
native American birds has dwindled to the
vanishing point. At one time knocking
birds, blue birds, cardinals. tanagers, in
digo birds and nonpareils were caught in
large numbers and sold either in the United
States or abroad. The blue birds. known as
blue robins blue nightingales in England
and France are regarded with much favor
by foreigners. But the work of the Audu-
bon Society and the American Ornitholo-
g1StS' Union, by securing the passage OF
protective laws, has put stop to this in
dustry, although Mr.. Oldys says there are
occasionally a few surreptitious shipments
to Europe.
Opportunity for American enterprise in
the breeding of canaries and other cage
birds Is indicated by Mr.. Oldys. He says
that not only is there no reason why the
American market should not be supplied by
American breeders. but there is further a
positive reason. that imported birds are not
SO well adapted to our climate those
birds bred here. and that home production
would obviate the large losses incident to
the ocean voyage
Many difficulties must, of course, be met
captive birds are subject to numerous dis
eases and always require careful treatment,
and many questions constantly arise to tax
the patience and skill of the aviculturist
In Europe the pursuit is carried on in
conjunction with some other occupation; 1t
requires little capital and need be extended
only as profits justify.
Female birds for breeding may be OBJ
tanned for Sc dozen, wholesale price. Or
binary male canaries may be bought for
SIS to 81. retail, and from this the prices
rise, through Norwich, Yorkshire, Lizard,
Manchester and belgian birds, in that or
der, to the wholesale rate. for the last, of
$50 to $50 pair. A fine singer may COM
mand as much as $780,
The facility with which the business of
canary breeding may be established and
maintained in this country and the large
market right at hand seem to Mr.. Oldys
strong inducements to American enter

regret last night, but slept unconcernedly
on her cot in the matron's quarters at the
police station and undertook the journey
downtown undismayed by the predcament
into which her escapade with Runyan HAD
thrown her. She shielded her face from
the photographers on the way as best she
could, but chatted with the reporters in
lively fashion while in the subway train
bound for the courtroom. Runyan, how.
ever, had little to say to anybody and ap-
peared to be terribly distressed.
Mrs Carriers Boast.
What had become of $4,000 of the trust
company's stolen funds was still mystery
SO far as the public was concerned up to
the time that the two prisoners were taken
to the court Runyan had in his possession
when arrested $54,41O OF the balance, he
said he lost about $4,000 In speculation in
stocks before he disappeared from the
Office of the Windsor Trust Company last
Monday; that he had given $4,000 to Mrs.
Carter, and that he believed she had taken
10000 more without his knowledge.
Mrs. Carter at first stoutly denied that
she had any of the trust company's funds;
admitting that Runyan gave her So 600, but
asserting that she promptly returned 1t to
him at his request While on her way to
court today, however, she said she had de-
posted all the money that Runyan gave
her in bank and that it would stay there
If she could keep it there. She declared that
she could have obtained possession of all
the money Runyan had If she had tried
hard enough
They Were Photographed. .~
Concerning her betrayal of Runyan's hid
ing place she said that she had felt sorry
for Mrs. Runyan and debated with herself
whether to notify Mrs. Runyan of her hus-
bands whereabouts or to give him up to
the police. She adopted the latter plan, she
declares because she learned that Mrs.
Runyan was i'll. Although she said she had
no hope of securing the reward for Runyan
she remarked that she could make use of
the $1,000 offered. AS she, like Runyan, is
under a charge of receiving stolen property,
and the police have yet to recover about
SIS, 900 which Runyan declares she has hid
den there is little chance of her securing
the reward.
On arriving downtown today Runyan and
Mrs. Carter were taken first to police head
quarters, where photographs of them were
made for the use of the police department.
ana they were measured and questioned for
the police rec Jrds. Neither of them made
any objection and Mrs. Carter went through
the process smilingly, while Runyan was
haggard and careworn.
They were then taken to the Fombs police
court to be arraigned.
