.. 5. Willis of lower Boise, this
year raised a couple of acres OF
white artichokes, and reports a
yield of at least Is tons to the acre.
He has been feeding them to his
hogs and says they fatten very
rapidly and with a week or so of
corn or grain to harden the flesh on,
they make prime article of pork.
The hogs and cattle are also very
fond of the stocks of this tuber.
The hills averaged from 80 to 40
tubers and some as high as 100
Mr.. Willis gave the crop no cult
walton and but little irrigation, some
none at all, and is now trying to
figure out what the yield would
have been with good care.-Gem

The Virginia, Nevada, Enterprise
says: In the Occidental mine four
drill holes had been finished and
the fifth was nearly completed
when a rush of gas from these holes
put out all the lights in the drift.
which is 522 feet long The miners
came out and the entire force of the
compressor was set to pumping air
into the drift but without success.
Later in the day men went in the
dark and plugged the holes with
clay. The gas is evidently of the
carbonic acid variety, but it is
mystery where it could have been
formed, as the drift is purely virgin
ground, hundreds of feet from
where anything was done. No case
of gas coming in through drill
hole is on record, unless the hole
had penetrated an old drift or some
aperture in which it could have
been formed.
When most needed it is not unusual
for your family physician to be away
from home. Such was the experience
of j. Y. Schenck, editor Of the Caddo,
Ind. Ter, Banner, when his little girl,
two years of age, was threatened with
severe attack OF Group. He says
"My wife insisted that / go for the
doctor, but as our family physician
was out of town / purchased bottle
of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy,
which relieved her Immediately. l
will not be without it in the future"

An item is going the rounds of the
press of the birth of child that
has two heads and two sets of arms.
An exchange says: 1--WE want to
adopt that boy right away. We
want to teach him to be a printer.
We will give him sit between two
cases. He can set BREWER with his
north pair of arms and primer with
his south pair. When the foreman
was out of the room he could swear
at poor copy with his west mouth
and at the proof reader with his
eastern one. He could spend his
salary with one half of his make up,
but he could have a harder job in
drawing his double pay with his
other half"
The wife of Mr.. d. Robinson, a
prominent lumberman of Hartwick,
N. Y, was sick with rheumatism for
five months. In speaking of it, Mr..

cases of rheumatism have been cured
by it. For sale at 80 cents per bottle
