We invite rommmtlrntton from all ppwnn who are
interested in inatttii'ii properly brlounltiK to tula de
partment. Chlccory.
A plnnt known to commerce by the
name of clilerory is cultivated extensive
ly in Belgium, France, England, Ger
many, and vnrlous other countries of
Europe, and also In the United States.
It is also called succory. It belongs to
the genus vhicl-orliim intylnt. One
ppecles is eaten in Europe as a salad,
while the best known variety Is used,
after the root is roasted and ground, to
adulterate coffee.
Chlccory was Introduced Into England
by Sir Arthur Young, In the year 17HS.
He obtained the seed from France. It
is, however, only within the past iifty
years that it lias been extensively raised
in Great Britain.
Chlccory roots are dried, roasted, und
ground. They are mixed with cheap
coffees at the average rate of about one
half pound of the root to each pound of
coffee. Some consumers of chlccory are
highly impressed with its healthy quali
ties, and believe that it prevents bilious
ness. Others think that it adds much to
the flavor of coffee.
Chlccory is imported Into the United
States from Europeon countries, to the
amount of about fifteen million pounds
per annum, and this business Is yearly
increasing. The root is a narcotic, but
it is Bometimes mixed with foreign sub
stances that are injurious to health, and
in some rare instances have proved
destructive to life. The impure condi
tion of the imported article is said to
arise from mould, or fungus, which is
engendered from its imperfect prepara
tion, or Is caused by dampness gathered
while in store or in transit.
There are large manufacturing estab
lishments in Europe, devoted exclusive
ly to roasting and grinding this article.
These establishments are numerous in
the Grand Duchy of Brunswick, Mech
lenburg, and in many parts of Belgium
and Holland. There are said to be two
hundred manufactories of this descrip
tion in Germany alone. The best foreign
chiccory is raised i n Germany, but Is
said to lose much of its flavor by a sea
voyage. In this country chiccory is raised quite
extensively on Long Island, in Xew
Jersey, and in many of the Western
States, The soil best adapted to its cul
tivation is a sandy loam. On Long
Island the product is from 2 to 3 thou
sand pounds (green) per acre greater
than that raised in most parts of Europe.
It is of a quick growth, but requires
plenty of manure and careful husbandry.
The domestic article is said to be of a
finer flavor, and to possess stronger
narcotic properties than the imported.
Prime qualities should be entirely free
from any rank taBte, and of a fresh,
bright color.
Its growth can be made very profitable
to farmers, but it greatly impoverishes
the land. The drying and preparation
of the root for market can only be per
formed after considerable experience.
There are coffee dealers in the city
who use from fifty to seven-five tons of
chiccory annually.
The best time to sell, as a rule, is
as soon as the farmer can obtain a fair
profit on the amount of time and money
expended in raising his crops. Experi
ence everywhere has proved conclusive
ly that it seldom pays the producer to
become a speculator. By selling early,
the mind is relieved from anxiety, and
can turn the more earnestly to the
season's legitimate duties, shrinkage
and loss from vermin and other causes
are avoided ; the farmer has the means
for buying manures, stock, implements
and machinery at the best time and
figures, and of pushing necessary work,
and making improvements on his land
or homestead. Calculate, therefore,
what your products have cost you in
money and Its equivalent time, add a
moderate profit, and sell promptly so
soon as you can realize the total, taking,
of course, as much more as you can get,
and leaving to others the anxieties and
risks of speculation.
Lazy Boys.
A lazy boy will make a lazy man a9
sure as a crooked sapling will make a
crooked tree. Who ever saw a boy grow
up in idleness that he did not make a
shiftless vagabond when he became a
man, unless he had a fortune to keep up
appearances. The mass of thieves,
criminals, and paupers, have ' come to
what they are by being brought up in
idleness. Those who constitute the
business part of our community who
make our great and useful men were
taught in their boyhood to be industri
ous. Boy, take that pipe out of your
mouth, and think of this.
