as an autumn winter and spring food?
He has raise{ and fed them several
years, and sa}s lie you'd not return to
the old method OF, feeding corn alone;
Since he adopted this system he has
never had hef cholera on his farm nor
so frequently had empty c5ru c-iss.
He says: Ariichokes can be planted
either in sprins or .autu an. They are
very hardy and will not be injured ny
any amount of freezing. Autumn is
rather the best time 70 plant, as they
viii get the beneiit OF an carly string
growth, commencing to grow the
last of March when the weather is
favorable. They are planted the
same way and require about the same
culture as the potato the frst year.
During the second year they need no
cultivation as there are always enough
tubers left in the ground to produce
the next crop. If there are thin
places. they can he r~eplanted. In
autumn aftef the first planting 1 turn
lily Hops IN and let them help them
selves, when the frost had killed the
stalks. Here they will fatten with
only a little corn. Here ! winter my
brood sows and autumn pigs also with
a little corn. In spring ! close up the
fence and let the artichokes grow
again. keep two lots, n for autumn
and winter use, and one for spring.
They arc. also good for feeding cows,
being rich and succulent and increas-
ing the flow of milk. Spring calves
winter nicely on them, and colts eat
them equally as well as corn. l cult

good soil they will sometimes yield
one thousand bushels per acre. They
are very prolific and fill the ground
from row to row. l dig and pit Il
large quantity for my stock during
winter, and when the ground is frozen
feed them to my hogs. think if our
farmers would try this plan Of feeding,
they would never go back to the old
way of feeding corn alone.

stock Notes.

1t does not pay to half starve cattle:
if they are made profitable they must
be fed well.
One advantage with improved stock
is the increased power of digestion and
assimilation.
If the cattle have their hair rubbed
off showing bare patches OF skin rub
on a little sulphur and lard.
If there is any money to be made
now in beef production it must be
made through the best cattle.
With an old COW in f%attening it is an
item to fatten quickly and to use a
good proportion of succulent food
The grades of cattle take the name
of the sire: if the bull is Il short-horn
with a scrub cow it is 4 grade short
horn.
Nigor and hardness are often con-
founded and hardness is often made
an excuse for abusing stock by neg
lect.
While all the elements of growth are
in the skim milk. yet as soon as the
calf is old enough it should be taught
to eat.
1t is largely this throwing in of new
blood hat tells upon a herd and a
wise selection never fails of making .

The Farmers Workshop.

Livery HAL I'd Ills own trduc, Is {
motto good enough in its place, but il
has often occurred to us that if any
man should be "Jack-of-all-trades" il
is the farmer. If living at any dis
lance from town, as is generally the
case, it is quite inconvenient as well as
a great loss of time to be compelled tC
60 to the mechanic for every little job
and then pay the e~Ntravagant prices
for what frequently proves to be poor
work.
The best of mechanics soon find en-
ployment in the larger towns and
cities, and only inferior workmeu re-
main to make their living from the
odd jobs afforded in every community.
1t must not be understood that every
farmer is advised to do all his OWE
odd jobs of repairing, for many are so
situated as to better afford to emplo,'
another even at good pay. Other y
again, appear altogether unable to III
derstand the use of tools so as to en-.
able them t. accomplish even the
smallest amount of mechanical exc
cution.
But for the farmer who possesses
ordinary mechanical skill, it becomes
almost a necessity to have near at
hand a fair assortment of tools, and If
possible, a suitable building in which
to keep the tools and perform the
work. He al thus provide work for
many a day of inclement weather,
which, if not for this provision, he
would probably devote to idleness.
When one or more hands are EN-
ployed they may be continued at prof
liable employment in repairing i'm
PIGMENTS, grinding the tools, oiling
the harness and making conveniences
for the house, barn and farm. The re
pairs would cost money if taken to the
mechanic, and either the farmer or
the men employed would lose the days
wages. As for the conveniences they
would either not be had, or they, too,
would cost an outlay OF money or pro
duce. Industrial American.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 15.--The confersnos Of

representing the bone and sinew OF the sill

fcrencs will probably last several days and
there will be thorough canvass Of the sit
uation.
Tho possibilities of new political party,
with free silver coinage - tho sole plank
Of the platform was among the develop
rnents Of to-day's secret session Of the sill
ver leaders. Tho meeting was devoted to
expressions Of opinion from representa-
tives OF the different states. They were
uniformly to the effect that the working
people and farmers were dissatisfied with
tho course Of congress in repeslina the
purchase Clause of the Sherman act. Ben-
ators Jones and Stewart, Master Workman
Sovereign, Of the Knights OF Labor, and
National Lecturer Whitehead. OF the
grange. were among the speakers this af-
ternoon. During the address Of Senator
Jones an intersstinR eolloquy oscusred be-
tween him and Master Workman Sovsr-
egn. The latter suggested that whom Ia
Dor ranks had assisted toward securing free
silver there should be reciprocity by which
the silver leaders would assist In securing
labor reforms. Jones contended shat al,
labor questions were merged in the money
question and that Its solution would settle
them ali. Sovereign and the senator at
last met on common ground in agreeing
that tho silver question be made
the paramount issue Of all la
Dor and industrial organizations.
Frequent references were made during
tho speeches to-day to the necessity Of or
