from observation of two seasons, am OF the
opinion twenty head would do we'll on an acre
for four months. AZ some have complained
that their hogs would not root after them. II may
be necessary, - hogs like men. know not much
before learning, that they should be taught to
root, after them. This 10 done by calling ne hogs

10. Improvement Of Lands. AS the stocks
grow from ten TO fifteen feet high, and the thick
plant has porous foliage, much Of the food IN re-
ceived from the atmosphere, and thereby the
soil 10 not go heavily taxed az by other crops,
the ground 10 pfo,ected from the killing rays Of
the sun and the stalk and leaves tall and rot
very soon. These advantages, which with
manure Of the hogs afford the cheapest and
amongst tho richest coats inlmy knowledge. |,
10 my conviction, in the absence Gfiong expert
ence, the artichokes 10 summer. and hogs IN
winter, will enrich our poos land cheaper and
better than any "th = plan. To be sure Far
mer caono, have all his lands in artichokes bui
every one should have enough TO support his
hogs through the winter, and | venture those
who give this crop fair trial will reluctantly

Ill. General Remarks "A few farmers OF
my acquaintance have informed me that they
have socceeded with corn and artichokes to
geher, aod il 10 very probable that this will
prove . succeesfu mode Of cultivaiing these
Two crops, but on the system Of one thing At
time, We wou.d prefer each CROP separately
So,ne have supposed thar The secand years crop
on the same ground would be more valu lble
than the frat; but this is mistake The plants
grow % thick the second year that no more than
; half crop can be anticipated. 1t might an
ever 10 plough out double rows and cultivate
The second years;but the practice Of putting ar'i
shoke lands 10 s,me'hirg Else the second year,
b the plan most prefer.
Amongst the arguments which NIGH b. used
10 favor Of this crop. II should 40, b. forgotten
that there is no labor Of digging, hut ur seed;
that more troublesome " eds ana grasses are
completely smo'hered ou'; anu last, but no.,
least the young plants, the second year are
more easily subdued than any weed knowo.-
Take arichokes all in all. and think Ia IN ~or

enrich his lands, or raise his pork with email
outlay Of grain.
