X reader of Table Talk writes to say that we did Matthew Arnold more than justice in assuming that the story of his recommending buckwheat cakes to his wife at an American breakfast ta- ble as mot half SO nasty as they look ed" was an invention. A cousin of our correspondent was present at the breakfast. in Baltimore. where this chara rteristically British speech was made exactly as printed.

The late bishop of oxford was not a man too mufh wrapped up in dry stud les to be able to turn a joke. The fol- lowing rather mordant epigram came from his pen at the time when Kings ley had resigned his professorship of history at Cambridge. with some dis paraging remarks on that study. and Froude had said in his rectorial address at St. Andrews that history had been corrupted by the clergy: While Froude instructs the Scottish
 youth
 That parsons never tell the truth. The reverend Canon Kingsley cries That history's a pack of lies. These strange results who shall com
 bine?
 One plain reflection solves the mys-
 tery-
 That Froude thinks Kingsley a divine. And Kingsley goes to Froude for

A Splendid Vegetable, the 'Bur'
Artichoke.

A vegetable very little grown in this
country, at any rate in the South. is the
globe or burr artichoke. 1t is very
popular vegetable in France, bu0 little
known here. 1t is not to be COMPOUNDED
with the Jerusalem artichoke," which
is grown Tor lis tubers.
The burr or globe artichoke is culti-
yated for the flower heads alone, which
are gathered before they become ripe,
and after boiling are served with butter
and pepper (and vinegar If you choose
after the manner of spinach
SO far as we know there is only one
variety, the large green globe.
1t is a very rank growing vegetable
ana takes up as much room as castor
Gil plant. 1t is a very delightful vege-
table, though. when one has acquired a
liking for it. The burr artichoke is grown
from seed which should be planted very
carly in the spring. When the plants are
large enough they should be transplanted
in to rows 3iS to 4 feet apart, and a
plant every 4 or ) feet apart in the row.
1t is a perennial plant, and will continue
for several years under good treatment
1t is perfectly hardy in the South and
after the first year will yield abundantly
the "burrs,' which are frequently eaten
raw
This vegetable is only known to cpl
cures, and is very rarely found in the
market here.

There is no better fertilizer for onions

suits, usually. OF course. any good am
kaipjt can be proftably used on onions
in the absence of other materials.
Top dressings of any good compost made
out of stable manure or cottonseed is also
good. Whatever manure is used must rest
near the surface, as the onion is very
shallow-rooted plant.
When the soil is not naturally rich 1t
is necessary to make heavy applications
of suitable manure, If a good crop of
large-sized onions would be obtained. The
ground is not easily made too rich for
onions if the manure is applied broadcast
but fresh or unfermented animal manure
should not be applied. Such material
should be composted previous TO being
used or it SHOULD be applied to the soil
several months before the crop is planted.
The Bermuda, or Italian onions, are as
easily raised from seed IN the South as
turnips, and every ore who attempts a
garden at all should never be without
onions. They are very wholesale veg
etable especially for children. There is
no reason whatever in the South paying
81 a bushel for them when they can be
grown for % cents, or even less, per
bushel.

spring TOP Dressing.

The question often arises on the part
Of farmers as to the best fertilizer to
use as a spring top dressing for their
garden and grass lands says the Florida
Agriculturist. If the crop has already
been planted. the best fertilizer to use
for The purpose is nitrate of soda, which
ingredient is so soluble and quick acting
that the effects can be seen within twen-
ty-four hours. For lettuce. peas, beans.
beets or other vegetables. the best way
to use the nitrate would be to take it al
the rate of 200 pounds per acre and Ill
vide into three parts Apply one-third
after growth begins; the second third two
or three weeks later. and the remaining
portion from ten TO fourteen days after
wards.
If it is intended to treat a lawn, nj
trate of soda is the best thing ethat can
be used From $50 to 200 pounds per acre
will suffice. The first application should
be made as a top dressing just after
spring starts A more uniform distribu-
ton of the nitrate can be had II this
material be mixed with several times it's
bulk of dry earth. The other two ror-
tions can be applied at intervals OF three
weeks each. The best results will be OBJ
tanned II the nitrate is applied just before
a rain.
In speaking of the application of nj
trate of soda as a spring fertilizer. IL
must not be overlooked that nitrate alone
Is not complete fertilizer, and N the
soil has not already been supplied with
potash and phosphoric acid the ultimate
results of the nitrate will not be salts

ter whether Il is grass, grain, fruit or
vegetables, must have potash and phos-

OF these ingredients are necessary.
Neither one can take the place OF the
other, nor can the excess of one make

TIE cAssAvA OUTLOOK.

Times Union and Citizen: renewed
interest is impaired to the subject of cas-
sava by request for information lately
received by the Agriculturist of the Flor
ida Experiment Station. This request
emanates from a Chicago company. who
own 1900 acres of land near Pensacola,
and who desire, among other things, to
grow cassava and establish a starch fac
tory, if the information seems TO warrant
it. There has been really only two years
growth of cassava raised in Florida for
starch making purposes on commercial
scale; previous crops has been grown only
in an experimental way. There are two
factories in Volusia county, one at De
Land. one at Lake Helen; and one at
Lake Mary. Those at De Land and Lake
Mary have manufactured and shipped
starch of a high quality, which has been
taken at satisfactory prices by Northern
dealers The one at Lake Helen is of com
ratively recent establishment, and has
handled chiefly the Dade county starch
plant. coontie, but Is in good shape and
prepared 20 work up the growing crop OF
cassava next fan in a business-like way.
The results thus far achieved are enconr-
aging, considering the fact that cassava
is a plant hitherto entirely unknown to
modern manufacturing processes either in
this or any other country. While con-

delicate and dainty desserts known to the
tables OF the highest households of the
iand-tapioca-and a farine which might
well be called the -four of South America
and the West Indies, yet ii has been
subject chiefly to the manipu.ations of the
ignorant poems of Cuba and Brazil-ma-
nipulations as crude as the agriculture
which plows with a forked stick. Our
Florida people have taken hold of this
valuable plant, which is to South America
what corn is to North America, in
characteristic American way, and have
subjected it at a bound to the culture of
steel and the rasp of iron. 1t is quite
possible that our vigorous trituTation with
metal rollers driven by steam will not
obtain as great a quantity of those SOFT
delicious grains which constitute tapioca
as is evolved by the gentle beating of the
placid barbarians along the Amazon. But
of starch we have secured the highest
percentage. falling only little below the
absolute starch content obtained in the
laboratory processes, because the extrac-
ton of starch requires the reduction of
the tubers by steel graters to an impal-
pable power. In short, therefore. the chief
obstacle encountered thus far in Florida
has been. not on the manufacturing side,
but on the agricultural; not in the reduc-
lion OF the root. but in the raising of II.
Our farmers have hitherto not had,
marked success in preserving through the
winter the canes which constitute the
seed. and the result has been with most
plantations an imperfect stand and light
yield. Doubtless their brethren of Louis
lana, with their experience in winterng
sugsrcsne. could 'have given them val-
una BILE pointers. But Florida farmers have
seldom failed to come up to the mark
when summoned by the dollar which we
are all after.

There are several varieties of clovers

the following, says an exchange:
Red clover CTrifolum pratense)-This is
the most common variety, and is grown
successfully in the North wherever the
supply of moisture is sufficient. In dry
sections it becomes uncertain. Some call
II perennial, but II is scarcely mere
than biennial, its perennial character
being often assumed by new plants
springing up from seeds dropped by the
plants each year. 1t makes a good hay

When 1t is desired to use it for pasture

place for'not more than two years.
Mammoth clover (trifolium medium) re.
sembles red clover. but has no spots on

land than is red clover, and under ia

whose appearance suggests a hybrid be-
tween red and white clover but it is not
a hybrid. 1t will thrive on soil too wet

with grasses to get the best results
WHITE clover Ctrifolium repens) is a
low-growing perennial, spreading by
creeping stems. The flowers are white, the
older ones more or less purplish tinged
1t is OF little value for hay owing to its
small growth. but is very useful for
beautifyiEg lawns. and has some value
as a pasture plant. Some farmers sow

sloer 1t an assistant to the blue grass

In Ireland it is called the shamrock
Crimson clover Ctrifolium incarnatum)
is an erect annual a foot or two high. It
bears scarlet flowers in oblong heads. It
was highly spoken of some years ago as
soil renovator. but of recent years has
been. quite generally ignored in the North.
In the South it is proving valuable in
some localities.
