ata, and einplaftrum cumini. According to Linnaeus's 
account, (beep, goats, arid fwilie, eat this plant; butkine 
and horfesare not fond of it. Schreber, on the contrary, 
affirms, that it js an excellent food for kine. Dr. Ander- 
fon recommends both the roots and tops for cattle in the 
fpring. The variety called Spanifh caraway riles with a 
{Longer {talk, clofely fet-with fine narrow leaves like tliofe 
of dill, and dividing at top into many branches, each ter¬ 
minated by loofer umbels of white flowers, which are 
fucceeded by larger broader feeds at Paiis. It grows na¬ 
turally in Spain; the feeds were feat to Mr. Miller from 
the royal garden. 
Propagation and Culture. The belt feafon for lowing the 
feeds of caraway is in autumn, foon after they are ripe, 
when they will more "certainly grow than thole fown in 
the fpring; and the plants which rife in the autumn, ge¬ 
nerally flower the, following feafon, fo that a fummer’s 
growth is hereby (lived. When the plants come up, the 
ground fhould be hoed to deftroy the weeds ; and, where 
the plants are too dole, they mult be thinned in the fame 
manner as is pradtifed for carrots, leaving them three or 
four inches apart. In the following fpring they will re¬ 
quire to be twice more hoed, which will keep the ground 
clean till the feeds are ripe ; then the ftalks niuft be pulled 
up, -and tied in bundles, fetting them upright to dry, when 
the feeds may be litre (Tied out for ul'e. The method of 
culture in Efl’ex is, about the beginning of March to plough 
fome old paflure land : if it has been pafture for a century, 
the better 5 and the foil fhould be a very (Long clayey 
loam. Twelve pounds of caraway Teed, are mixed with 
ten pounds of coriander, and twelve pounds of teafel feed. 
This is fufficient for one acre ; and is fotved diredlly after 
the plough, harrowing the land well. When the plants 
appear of fufficient (Length to bear the hoe, which will 
not be until about ten weeks after fowing, it mull not be 
omitted: and in the courfe of the Cummer, the crop will 
require three hoeing?, belides one at Michaelmas; each 
coifing about eight (Ittilings an acre. The coriander, be¬ 
ing annual, will be fit to cut about the beginning of July, 
and is reaped at four (hillings the acre, ft is left in the 
field after cutting, and threfhed by the day on a cloth, in 
the fame manner as rape feed. About April following, 
the caraway and teafel will want a good hoeing, done deep 
and well ; and another about the beginning of June; thebe 
two hoeings are done at feven (hillings the acre each. The 
caraway will be fit to cut the beginning of July ; and muff 
be threlhed in the fame manner as the coriander. '1 he 
teafel will not be ready till the middle of September. 
Some of the plant's of caraway and teafel do not perfect 
their feeds till the third or fourth year; though in general 
there is a crop the (econd year, yet enough is left for a crop 
the third year : and the feeds that are fcattered from (he 
crop the fecond year often come to perfection the fourth : 
and there are inftances of its being continued for feven 
years. The ufual way, however, is to plough direitly 
after the crop is gathered the third year, and to low wheat, 
of which commonly a very good crop is obtained, the land 
being in fine order, from the rotting of the turf, and re¬ 
peated hoeings. 
The produce of caraway, on the very rich old lays in 
the hundreds, orlow lands, of Effex, hasoftenbeen twen¬ 
ty hundred-weight to the acre. There is always a demand 
for the feed in the London market; where it is fometimes 
fo low as twelve (hillings the hundred weight, and has 
been up to fifty (hillings ; but it is mofllv on an average 
at twenty-one (hillings. The land can only be filled with 
plants ; and, the more one predominates, the let's muff 
reafonably be expected of the others. This compound 
crop is moftly fown on land fo (Long, as to require being 
a little exhaufted, to make it fit for corn. Caraway and 
cot iander are ofteneft fown without teafel, the latter be¬ 
ing a troublefome and uncertain crop, and the produce of 
caraway much greater without if. Caraway has been long 
cultivated in the county of Elfex. Mr. Houghton, at the 
CAR 
end of the taft century, fays that, “ although caraway-feed 
be fcarce now, yet not many years fince, a friend of mine 
near Colchefter produced fo much, that it was fold for 
twopence, and I believe lefs, the pound. lamafraidhis 
great quantity did hint damage ; however, 1 believe it is 
made now one of the (faple pieces of hufbandry.” See

CA'RY (Lucius), lord vifeount Falkland, born in Ox¬ 
ford fill re in 1610, was a young noblemen of great abilities 
and amiable accompliftnnents. About the time of his fa¬ 
ther’s death in 1633, he was made gentleman of the privy 
chamber to Charles I. and afterwards fecretary of (late. 
Before the aftembling of the long parliament, he had de¬ 
voted himfelf to literature, and every pleafure which a 
fine genius, a generous difpofition, and an opulent fortune, 
could afibrd : when called into public life, he (food fore- 
rnoft in all attacks on the high prerogatives of the crown ; 
but when civil convulllons came to an extremity, and it 
was neceftary to choofe a fide, he tempered his zeal, and 
defended the limited powers that remained to monarchy. 
Still anxious, however, for his country, he feems to have 
dreaded equally the entire fuccefs of the royal party, or 
that of the parliament ; and-among his intimate friends, 
often fadly reiterated the word peace. This excellent no¬ 
bleman freely expoled his perfon for the king in all ha¬ 
zardous enterprifes, and was killed in the 34th year of his 
age at the battle of Newbury. In Wellwood’s memoirs 
v\e are told, that, whilft he was with the king at Oxford, 
his majefty went to fee the public library, where he was 
(hown, among other books, a Virgil, elegantly printed, 
and exquifitely bound. Lord Falkland, to divert the king, 
perluaded his majefty to make a trial of his fortune by the 
fortes Virgiliana:, an ufual kind of divination in ages paft, 
made by opening a Virgil. The king opening the book, 
the paftage which happened to come up, was that part
