THE DANDELION, OR WILD ENDIVE.

Mr. Editor, I wa pleased to see yesterday, in
our excessively dear market, that refreshing aalu
tarv herb, the dandelion, so seldom to be met with
at thi early svwsoi, Irs escbitaot priei hovre'
ver, being above my limited means, 1 vra obliged
to dony myself the gratification of a mess of this
wholesome plant, from which many persons, for
the same potent reason, turn aside to the lough,
acescent flatulent, cabbage sprout, which the sto
mach of a drayman alone can digest.
The dandelion is generally considered among us.
without our knowing the why and the wherefore,
as unwholesome. For the benefit of those who live
to eat, as well as the more useful class, those who
eat to live, I will point out a fiw of it virtues, so
well established in Europe, that in the shops of the
druggists it may "be found at all seasons of the year,

four years ago, to spend a day in coinpaay with
old Mr. Macon, uf North-Carolina, when our con-sjMtkw,'-OT'iiTOr
tirfet, and a tow others, tlitrculnTation of Indian
Corn. After huving inquired whether I had the
suckers which' grew from the roots of corn pulled
o(X a is the common, practice, And received my
answer in the affinnitive ; he iniormed me, that be
sulfered them t remain, having, from repeated ex
periments, ascerlaiucd that they did not injure the
corn, but on the contrary, the suckers more fre
quently than otherwise produced good ears of corn
and that if they failed to do so there waa an in
crease of fodder. , 1 kave wince tried the experi
ment and witnessed th following result : That
