-. i,:prOrrmeni Of E.and.--As the
a. grow from ten % fifteen feet IN
hc' al, and hayo thick, porous foliage,
much Of The food OF The plant is received
from tho atmosphere, and thereby the soil
Is not so heavily taxed rs by other crops,
the ground is protected from the killing
rays Of The sun, and the stocks and leaves
fall aud rot very som these advantages,
with the manure from hogs, afford The
cheapest and amongst the richest coats in
my knowledge. II il my coDyiclinn. tin-
ai-- .sa.Ssss vf f,'s.s -.-I-~.s, urv.J IfIaI ar
tichokes in summer, and hogs in winter,
will enrich our poor lands cheaper and
much better than any other plan. TO be
sure, farmer cannot have all his land in
aVIichokes, but every one should have
enough to support his hogs through tho
winter, and venture - say that those
who give this crop fair trial will rcluo-
ianlly abandon il.
II General Remarks. "A few far

,icly. Some have

Inc 40 "a mistake. The
,Iatas. d., second year, that
u. '.asas al crop can be antici-
ra,cj. Ii a,isht answer 10 plough ont
rows and cultivate the second year; bs,t
The practice Of putting arIirhoke lands in
something else the second year, is the
plan ! much prefer.
Amongst the arguments which might
be- used in favor Of his crop, ii should not
be forgotten that there is no labor of Dig
ging but for seed; that more troublesome
weeds and grasses are completely sno-
Ihercd out and last, but not least, the
plants the second year are moro easily
subdued than almost any weeds known.
Take artichokcs all in all, | think them
worthy the attention Of every farmer who
wishes to enrich his lands, or raise his
pork with small outlay of grain.
