Franuts.

--We are told that the pea, or ground nut is an excellent substitute for coffee. It grows abundantly almost everywhere. The vine, it is said, is excellent fedder for cattle. The nut, when parched, is very much relished, especially by children, and perhaps might be useful, when ground, to mix with flour and corn-meal for making bread. It is certainly worth trying.
