Artichokes for Swine.

Farmers who want a cheap, easily
raised and yet excellent food for their
swine can find it in the red or Brazil
ian artichoke. Among the advantages
enumerated as belonging to this crop
not the least is that it can be planted
in either fall or spring, as is most con-
venient, and that when the work is
once done it stays planted indefinite
ly. Then, unlike most other crops of
useful plants, artichokes require little
or no cultivation except what they
get from theindustrious roofing of the
hogs, who, as one authority says, will
cheerfully do both the cultivating and
harvesting at the times and in the
way that will do the most good. The
yield is enormous, and the roots are
a wholesome corrective of the system,
so that it is said pig pastured on
artichokes with cholera would be an
astonishing curiosity.
The planting of an artichoke field,
and it's subsequent culture until ready
for the swine, does not involve very
great labor. The best place for it is
q piece OF low land, with a deep, rich
soil, near brook. It should be deep
ly plowed when not too wet, and
thoroughly narrowed. The seed, about
six bushels to the acre, should be
planted after the frost is out in the
spring and before June, in drills three
feet apart, and a foot apart in the
rows. The tubers should be cut like
potatoes for spring planting, covered
with not less than three inches of soil,
and afterwards rolled. If notconven-
lent to plant in the spring, it can be
done in the fall, from about the mid
die of October to the middle OF Novem-
Der but in fall seeding experience has
shown that the best results are obtain
cd by planting the whole tubers.
When the plants are three inches
high in the spring, 1t is advantageous
to run the cult1vator between the
rows in order to check the growth OF
weeds, although the artichoke is
enough of q weed itself to triumph
over most opponents in the struggle
for existence.
the summer-that is, if there has
been a good supply of rain-the crop
will usually be ready for the swine by
the latter part OF September; but in a
season too dry for vigorous growth it
is better to postpone their onslaught
for two or three weeks. They may
then be allowed to forage until the
ground freezes. After the frost is out
OF the ground in the spring, they may
be turned in again to root until the
beginning or middle of June.
1t is calculated that after a season
favorable for growth an acre will sup
ply ample forage for forty head of
swine, and still leave enough roots
in the ground for re-seeding.
Although artichokes do not form a
complete food for swine they will
answer very well for a time in the fall
and spring without other food.

Keeping Butter.


The best method for keeping butter
for any length of time is to store it in
barrels. under brine in the granulated
form. New, clean whisky or pork
barrels should be used, filled to within
] s inches of the top with brine strong
enough to float an egg, and the butter
then put in and covered so as to keep
it at least four inches beneath the sur
face OF the brine. Butter packed in
this way has kept sweet for 18
months or more. Under our present
conditions of manufacturing and mar
ket it, of course, rarely occurs that
there is any need Of keeping butter for
such a time, but in putting up butter
for export, especially for shipment to
countries south of us, this or similar
plan might be adopted for keeping it
in good condition. We have a good
chance just now for building a trade
with our southern neighbors, and it
would payto take extra pains to pro-
cure it by getting our butter to them
in better shape than any other that
they receive.

farm, at least, it costs more than it
comes to.
Bu6 the last two years have Wit
messed another development Of ma
chinery IN California wheat culture.
Steam power has been successfully
applied, and a very great reduction in
cost has been made In the summer
OF 1889 q large number of field engines
built here, on California designs, were
in the fields with astonishing results.
The largest of them cut a swath of 40
feet, and harvested the crop at a cost
for running expenses of less than 20
cents per acre. as against $1.75 Of the
old system. The same engine is ex-
pected to pillow, carrying u or 20, or
even 40 plows, and, since it is a road
engine, it will haul the crop to
the nearest station or landing
at less expense than if hauled with
horses. The price of such an engine,
with the harvester and thresher. is
from $4,000 to $4,000 at present,
but this cost, tits said, WILSON bere-
duced. From the talk among wheat
growers, two or three years will wit
ness the introduction OF steam on the
large ranches. The engines are STRAW
burners" or, when blowing, wood can
be used. Coal is very high on the
Pacific coast, and therefore coal burn
ing engines will never be profitable
here. | have asked wheat raisers what
they thought would be the cost Of
blowing, narrowing, seeding, harvest
ing and delivering at the station, If
these steam engines do what is ex-
pected. They answer: "About ST. an
acre, on the easily farmed lands, and
not more than So anywhere" This,
then, is the way that California

Comparative Yields of Corn.

A correspondent OF the National
Stockman says that in testing some
20 varieties of corn in which the prep
aration OF soil, planting and cultivat-
ing were the same as well as the
character OF the soil, he found the
yield varied from 33 to SO bushels
per acre, Pride OF the North, a small
early variety with a stalk OF 10 feet
and lipening July Is, and the Mas
todon, large variety with asstalk of
13 feet and ripening the first week in
August, representing the extremes.
The Iowa King. from E. S. Teagar-
den, Boone, Iowa, and a speckled
corn from G. T. Petit, Oneida, Kan
sas, both contributors to your col
unns, ranked very high as heavy
choppers and in the desirable quail
ties OF medium corn. The yield and
adaptability OF different varities OF
corn in any section are questions
Of close attention and experiment..
Every farmer should at least set
aside an acre of ground that is uni
form as to all necessary points IN
corn culture and then plant the same
number OF rows to half dozen varie-
ties OF corn, giving them equal and
impartial care. A half pound or
pound Of seed each, will not be very
expensive. Part OF it may easily be
secured by exchanging with farmers
in other sections. The experiment
will be a grand object lesson and in
many ways full of instruction Look
about tor seed now and be prepared
for it next spring.

The Abuse of Hypnotism.

One of the most striking warnings On
record against the use of hypnotic expert
ments is mentioned by DR.. c. l.. Tuckey in
The Contemporary Review as the story of
lima Szandor, which DR.. Won Kraft Ebing
has given at length in small volume.
This young girl, Hungarian by birth,
was of hysterical constitution, and proved
extraordinarily susceptible to hypnotic
suggestion. She fell into the hands of per-
sons whose i'll judged zeal and curiosity
carried them to lengths which seem almost
incredible, and her life was ruined by cruel
and senseless experiments. She was hyp-
Noticed several times day for some
months, apparently by any one who chose
to practice upon her, and was made the
victim of very painful and distressing sug-
gestions. For instance, pair Of scissors
was on one occasion laid upon her bare
arm, and she was told that they were red
hot and would burn her. All the effects
of severe burn were brought about by
this suggestion; an infiamed and'blistered
spot, taking the shape of the scissors, ap-
peared on her arm and took months to
heal. The unhappy girl at last became in
sane.

WHAT TO DO.

Harper's Bazaar solves the perplexities OF
a number of inquirers with the following
useful paragraphs:

til it is needed. He sends the bride as
handsome present as he can afford-a
bracelet, fan, opera glass, piece of silver or
pretty bit of furniture, a set of teacups
or diamond star
Wedding presents may be sent in any
manner direct from shop by your servant
or by express. Attach your calling card,

tiOns," or leave it plain, as you choose.
Use the chaperon's name first-as. Mrs.

Treatment in Painting Spells.

Painting proceeds from different causes,
the commonest being disturbance in the
circulation of the blood in the brain For
an ordinary fainting fit lay the patient fat.
Great harm has often resulted from the
treatment of ignorant people in trying to
make the patient sit up, or proppfng up the
head with pillows. To send the blood back
from the heart to the brain, the fiat posture
is absolutely necessary. Let the patient
lie SO that the feet are higher than the
head, throw the clothes about the chest
and throat open, sponge the face with cold
water and give some cold water to drink.
This is the treatment oftenest followed in
a simple fainting fit.

Now all his bright anticipations were

Many persons have made the same OBJ

you declared that was not SO. Is this

A New Cure for Headache.

The latest of "infallible cures" invented
or discovered by foreign doctors is one for
headaches, by DR.. Heinrich Weiss, of Wen
Ma. DIR. Weiss makes no secret of his rene
dy, which has the merit of extreme sim
plicity. You simply press the hand for a
few minutes ON the great inferior artery
between the sternum and the navel and
the headache goes. DR.. Weiss declares
that this remedy gave immediate relief in
the cases of twenty-three female patients
suffering from violent headaches. ANY
one who chooses can easily try the method
for himself, with the comfortable assur-
ance that, if he fails, nothing worse can
happen to him than to feel little foolish.
