"MY DEAR SIR: take the liberty of ask
ing your cooperation in measure which
cannot fail, I think, at this stage Of the
campaign to be of great and immediate
benefit to the constitutional cause. The let
ter Of General Hancock (Which I enclose)
has had most beneficial effect throughout
the North and West-so beneficial, indeed,
that the radicals are trying everywhere to
counteract it by asserting that he will not be
supported by the Southern people IN the
position which he has taken. Absurd as we
know this assertion to be, it has some effect,
not only on the ignorant and prejudiced
members of the radical party, but even, I
am sorry to say, upon men who ought
to know better. This being the
case, it has occurred to nee that brief and
outspoken Endorsement of Gen. Hancock d
position in regard to the alleged "rebel
claims" by the leading men of the South
would have most important effect on pub
lie feeling just now. May ask you, there

that mo legislation providing for the consid-

FLOUR FROM CHEsTNUTs.

Mr.. J. Schuyler Crosby, United States
consul at Forence, Italy, gives in a report
to the State Department an account ot the
flour made from chestnuts and used in
many parts of southern 1Earope. The, ,wrl-
ter says:
"The number OF trees i'll Tuscany and Lnc-
| Ca is estimated at several millions, and the
nut and wood have done more to maintain
the population of some of these districts
| than any production. In some places wheat
flour and corn meal is entirely superseded
by the chestnut -four, which is very nonr-
ishing and much cheaper as All article OF
food"
Mr.. Crosby is of opinion, after "a careful
stuy of the subject, that this variety OF
chestnu; can be grated on the native Amer
ican species, and thus be made source OF
wealth and profiti in this country, especially
in certain mountainoussdistricts where it is
almost impossible to r..ise cereals, owing to
the nature of ft1e soil and the steepness of
the mountain sides, and where Transports
| ton is 80 difficult and labor is so high and
scarce. Outside Of this question of using
the chestnut for food i,,sthe districts where
it could be cultivated and grown to advan-
tage in the United States, the present price
OF the imported Spanish chestnut, Which is
used for various. purposes throughout our
country, would, he claims, amply repay an
outlay farmers might have TO make in i'm
porting rings or shoots Of this magnificent
variety from Italy for grating on our own
chestnut trees. ~ The chestnut
tiourishes In o light, fertile, deep soil, but
thrives on the sides OF mountains facing the
south and west.
The flour can be preserved for two years.
1t is used In the same way as wheat flour,
and though less nutritious is much cheaper,
and at the same time exceedingly agreeable
to the taste. He says that in those regions
| where the inhabitants live almost entirely
on the chestnut, they are ola better appear
ance, more healthy and not less strong than
those people who live on what in America
is considered more wholesome and nutri-
| tious food.-H. Louis Nj Tier.

ONE of the most valuable garden products
that is easily grown in this climate, is the
cabbage This is well known by every
farmer. but. for some unknown cause, our
markets have never been oyerstocked. and
there are many country homes throughout
the land that subsist the year round
without the vegetable. Were we to find
fault with our farmers it would be tor their
neglect of the proper attention OF growing
garden products, for to have good supply
Of vegetables adds tw-fold to the comforts
OF a home. some time ago we gave some
hints about making hot beds and early SOW
ing of vegetable seeds. Owing to the late
season it is not to late for sowing early cab
bage, lettuce, celery. and caulitlower seeds,
and we suggest to our friends who may
have overlooked that little item of husband
bandry to follow our suggestions. Put The
seeds in the soil; they will grow, and the
greater the variety sown the more pleasure
will come at harvest time. Only the early
varieties should be soWn now. Several
weeks later will do for sowing the fall and
winter varieties. We shall not attempt to

choke, which would rot and destroy the po-
tato, which it SO much resembles.
The prices Tor raising artichokes is very
simple. They are planted like Irish pota-
toes, in rows about four feet apart, and the
eyes, only one in q place, about fifteen inch
es apart. The ground must be prepared by
plowing very deep, and be thoroughly pull
verified. After the arIchoke has grown to
eight or ten inches high they ought to be
twice plowed with;a cultivator. The best
time to plant is about the first of June, let
them grow on until the middle of October,
when you can turn III your hogs and let
them remain as long lis the ground is not
frozen and remain until June, when you
can raise u new crop on the same ground,
without new planting, asst will be impossi-
bic for the hogs to take out the, artichoke so
enough will not remain for seed. All that
is needed i'll the spring for planting is to
plow up the space, leaving again the rows
tour feet apart; the artichoke must, in like
manner be plowed the second as it was the
| first time, and the crop will be equal to the
| first. The raising of artichokes will revolu-
tionize the present method OF hog raising
in north Missouri. Maj. John S. Mellon's
work on the hog cholera has stimulated oul
people to vegetable hog feed, and artichokes
seem to meet the demand. Ii any farmer
desires to be more fully informed upon the
subject can writ to Hon. David A. Ely, Sub
let's, Adair county, Mo-, who will take grea
pleasure in answering any inquiry in regart
10 to the matter, as he feels proud OF til,
success OF his experiment.

ARTICHoKEs FOR HOGS.

Some time ago we had an editorial on the
subject of our farmers producing more ba-
con, and suggested peas and artichokes as
the best and cheapest TODD for hogs, giving
one instance of Montana farming wherein
artlchokes were raised for hog feed, and
with good success. The tolIo wing views
Of Missouri farmer, from the st. Louis
Times, is somewhat enthusiastic ON arti-
chokes as a preventive of disease In hogs,
but it agrees with us that that the artichoke
is an excellent cheap feed tor hogs, and we
publish it tor the information it contains:
One of the most serious questions pre-
sented to the western hog raisers Is how to
get cheap, nutritious food for hogs, which
will prevent hog cholera, and give the re-
quired nutriment at small cost. For the
summer months clover has always been the
cheapest and best as we'll as the most nutri-
tious food for growing swine, as well as tor
sows and pigs. TO furnish winter and
spring vegetable has puzzled the ingenuity
of the hog raisers.
Hon. David A. Ely, one of the largest
and most enterprising farmers of north Mis-
souri,, has been experimenting on the Bra
lillian artichoke mot the common fibrons

son that those which matured early few
years ago are now supplanted by new in
roductions which are improved. These
new introdnctions do not seem to be any
earlier than those most esteemed for early
