Culture Of the ArtichUke.

How many of our farmers have
tried the feeding of artichokcs to
stock, especially to hogs as fall,
winter and spring food ? have rails
cd and fed them several years and
would not turn now to the old method
of feeding corn alone, and now that |
feed them | never have hog cholera.
nor so often have empty corn cribs.
Artichokcs can be planted either in
the spring or fall. They arc very
hardy and no amount of freezing will
iniurc them. The fall is rather the
best time to plant, as they will get the
benefit of an early spring growth. COM
mcncing to grow the last of March
when the spring is favorable. They
are planted in the same way and re-
quirc about the same cultivation rs tic
potato.
After the summers growth is finish
cd in the fall, turn my hogs i'll and
let them help themselves. Here they
will fattcn with only Il little corn,
and here | winter my brood SONS and
fall pigs also with Il little corn, and in
the spring | close up my fence, and
there are tubcrs enough left in the
ground to produce the next year ;
crop. If there are thin places they
can be rcplantcd and they need no
further cultivation as they outgrow
the weeds the second year. keep
two different lots, one for all winter
use and one for spring. where turn
my hogs to feed for sprin" market.
The artichokc is also very fine for
feeding COWS it is rich and Succulcnt
and increases the flew Of milk. Spring
calves winter nicely on them. and
colts cat them with as much relish as
corn. cultivate the White .)crusa-
lem variety. They are very prolific;
and the lar.e tubcrS fill the ground
from row to row. In good soil they
will yield as much rs one thousand
bushels per acre. di- and pit quite
an amount for my winter feeding. and
when the ground is frozen to" hard for
my hogs to work OH them, feed them
from the pits.
think if our farmers would d"ncc try
this plan of feeding. they would never
