JERUSALEM ARTICHOKES.

enquirer" of Warner, wishes to know if
our seasons are long enough to grow the
Jerusalem artichoke, and whether they can
be stored like potatoes. lie also asks if they
are proper food for milk cows in winter.
We supposed everybody had seen the
Jerusalem artichoke growing in Vermont.
1t is one of our common half-weeds not
native, but, once introduced, almost impos-
sble to exterminate. When cultivated on
good land it produces a great deal of feed
ing material. The tops are said to make as
good fodder, cut green, for cows as corn,
while the tubers are more fattening than
turnips and hogs as well as horned stock
eat them greedily. But they are small and
laborious to dig, and do not keep well out
of the ground unless packed in sand or
earth. The only way to utilize them cheaply
is to plant them in fenced lot, cut the
tops for the cows, and then turn in the hogs
and let them harvest the tubers. No man
can clear the ground of them so that there
will not be enough lett for seed, but perhaps
hogs might.

This is not the first appearance OF the
Zulus as warriors They are branch Of
the Caffre race and are said to have
come from the north and to have conquered
their present territory about the be-
ginning Of the century. Under chief
named Chaka, they overran the country as
far as the southern border Of Natal.
Chaka was succeeded by his half brother.
Dingan, and the latter by Panda,
full brother of Chaka. Under these chiefs
the Zulus (or Zooloos) had regular mill
tary organization, their forces being divided
into bands of 1000 men each, and each band
or regiment being distinguished by different
colored shields. 1t is authoritatively stated
that in 1910 they could put 10000 war
riors in the field. Their progress was
finally checked by that thrifty Dutch-Afri-
can race called the Beers but the Zulus
have grown in strength, and the organiza-
ton and traditions of Chaka have been main
tanned. OF all the Cagre tribes the Zulus
have been most troublesome to the British
in the prosecution of their schemes of con-
quest in South Africa. Since acquiring the
Transvaal Republic, the Zulus have mani
tested renewed hatred to the British. Be-
lieving truly that Katirland, north Of
Natal, was to be made seaboard for
the new territory and that the native in
habitants were to be reduced to complete
subjection, Cetywayo. inheriting all the
courage and energy of his great predeces-
sors, declared war, and the campaign,
which has been prosecuted for nearly
year, reached stage on January 27 when
it cannot longer be treated as a small
