The local experiments, begun about ten years a^o, 

 were wisely on a small scale; but they have been gradu- 

 ally increased until they now embrace about sixty 

 acres planted m Tea, a commodious factory equipped 

 with the requisite mechanical appliances, facilities for 

 the application of irrigation to some of the tea-garden*., 

 and a well trained corps of youthful tea pickers. When 

 the gardens shall h.ive arnved at full bearing, the an-
