Canned asparagus will act a tonic on

vegetable, which is cooked within a few

Experts declare the secret of the value
OF asparagus lies in the fact it can absorb
more salt in growing and in its preparation
for the table. than any other form OF vege-
tation used for food.

THE latest investigation OF the character of coffee

The flavor OF the coffee is not due to the caffeine at

Will the ''DASHEEN'' Replace POTATOES?

T7HE dasheen is not vegetable, because it
has been known and used in Japan and China
- for thousands Of years but in this country it is
practically new the people, introduced
here not very long ago, and even then 1t is known
only few people.
That vegetable which makes such excellent sub
stute for the Irish potato should have a name like

it is from that, being Oriental 1t is also

The leaf is something like the leaves of marshy
plants being elephantear shape The vegetable
is bulb tuber and is planted much like the potato.
It is harvested however, with less labor. the plants
grow close together and dasheen tuber is at

all this within another season or so.
The desirability of a vegetable
that will at least partly take the
potatoes place is understood by all
agriculturists. and by many house
keepers. Farmers are always seek
ing some new variety OF potato
that Is harder than the old ones
for unusually wet or unusually dry
seasons always affect the crop
seriously. sometimes to the extent
OF potato famine.
The famous Burbank has done
great deal toward meeting this
situation. the potato bearing his
name having proved immune to
many of the influences OF weather
and unfavorable soil which mean
almost total crop failures OF older
varieties. Still, such Is the popu-
lar dependence upon this tuber
that the cultivation of an accept
able substitute would Iaeet real
and widespread economic need
1t is we'll known that the fail
ure OF one potato crop in Ireland
reduces thousands of the popula-
ton to starvation's point. In this
country scarcity Of potatoes,
with prices increased three or
four times above normal, adds a
heavy burden to those borne by n
majority of households. as few
families now economic in the
matter of potatoes any more than
they do in the case OF bread.

To grow the dasheen a particular
soil is needed. 1t cannot be grown
to great advantage in the sections
where the Summer seasons Is
short, as in Canada, but it is be-
lieved it would succeed in most
narts of the United States. The
Crinidad variety Of the dasheen
has been made to yield 400 bushels
to the acre. A rich. wet soil Is
needed, with plenty OF potash. The
potash can be added if the proper
soil otherwise is secured.
The dasheen is excellent cooked
in as many ways as the potato
may be served. perhaps in more.
1t can be boiled or baked. fried.
mashed, made into croquets, and
also used as a stuffing for fowl and
meat. 1t is said to contain more
nutriment than the potato, having
from 40 to 70 per cent more pro-
TEN or heterogeneous substances. 1t
has an added advantage in that 1t
does not taste like the pototo. 1t
would not add much were it to
lasts like the potato, as people are
always looking for new foods and
new flavors. The dasheen has
something Of flavor Of boiled
chestnuts.
