Artlchokes for Hogs.

Time and again We see articles So
Ing the rounds of the press declaring
great things for the artichoke as .
food for hogs. We realize that many
of these are on the boom order The
question, however. is one worthy dis
cussion. Are artichokes profitable
food for hogs? Doubtless some Of the
readers of the Farmers Review have
had extensive experience feeding
them. We wish that such ones would
report the results of their experience.
We know, of course, that to GER
tain extent the artichoke is valuable,
but the great question is, will 1t pay
to grow 1t when the same work put
into some other crop would give
larger amount of feed? Doubtless
there are other considerations thar
the ones that appear on the surface for
the growing OF artichokes. such as to
how great an extent they are exempt
from the effects of drouth and insects.
We would like to have a general re-
sponse.

Nothing Definite Known.

Rome, March SKIING Humbert, who
asked Sigor Saracco, minister of pub
lie works in the Crispi cabinet, to form
a new ministry, has had to look in
another direction for a, new prime
minister, Senor Saracco having failed
in his attempt to get a satisfactory
cabinet. 1t is stated that the task of
constructing a new ministry has been
offered to General Ricotti who will
yield the prime ministership to the Mar
quis di Rudini. AS yet nothing definite
is known, though in opposition circles
it is stated that a Rudini ministry is
almost completed.

He WILL BE THE PRIME MINISTER
OF ITALY ONCE MORE.

1t is Also Probable That He VIII be Minis
ter of the Interior--The Crisis in the
Ahatrs of the Nation Appears to be at an
End-The Cabinet VIII be a Strong One.
Berlin, March Sit is believed and
indeed almost desired in official circles
that King Humbert will be unable to
find an Italian statesman who will be
willing to construct a new cabinet on
the basis of a continuance of the war in
Abyssinia and will consequently be OBJ
liged to recall Signor Crispi, who, after
strengthening the cabinet will order
General Baldissera to seize the first
chance to fight a successful battle with
the Shoans and then terminate the
African campaign.
During the discussion in financial cir
cles yesterday upon the possibility Of
Italy's concluding a loan in Germany
the report got abroad and became gen-
orally credited that this view has been
commended to King Humbert by per-
sonage high in German official circles.
In regard to the floating of such
loan, however, there is only one opin-
|
enough of Italian securities, and noth-
ing that Italy has to offer could induce
the open operation of new loan in
Germany. German financiers consider
that the corruption in the administers
tion of the Italian government and the
absolute corruption prevailing in the
civil service has been potent factors
in the decline Of the committee and
that if any more German money goes to
Italy it must have much better guar
antees than the existing loans.
Only within the last few days adj
vices from Rome have reported as prob
able that the government would pay it's

The Bomb Was Mailed to p. ID. Armour
Ihs Article Was Given to tho Superin-
tendett of Police and Was Then Locked
Up in the safe-Fourth Internal Machine
Sent to Mr.. Armour.
Chicago, March S.--The employees of
the Hyde Park postal station, at Fifty
fifth street and Kimbark avenue, We're
thrown into great excitement last even
ing by the discovery of a supposed dy-
Mantle bomb concealed in paste board
box four inches long and one and a
half inches in height, which bore the in
scription: "P. d. Armour, 2115 Prairie
avenue, Chicago, ILL.,"
The bomb had evidently been mailed
in Chicago at some OF the outlying dis
tricts. Foreman Woodruff, in charge of
the distributing department at Hyde
Park, took the box to Superintendent
Hendrickson, who examined the pack
age, and heard a slight click, not unlike
the noise made by the trigger of a re-
volyer. The superintendent and fore
man at once left the room. AS
nothing happened, in ten minutes they
returned to the room. superintendent
Hendrickson then took off the wrapper
and found that the box consisted of two
compartments, one sliding into the 9TH
er.
Mr. Hendrickson cut small hole in
the upper part of the box and discover
ed piece of three-quarter inch gas
pipe with q fuse which was connected
with a small cap that was so arranged
thS would explode if one part of the
box Us drawn through the other. The
article was then locked up in the safe.
The officials of the Hyde Park postal
station are of the opinion that the box
was mailed by a reporter for paper
which published the story exclusively
this morning. The package had been
in the office only twenty minutes when
a reporter for a morning paper came in,
making inquiries about it. Informa-
ton was refused. Notwithstanding
this the paper printed a minute descrip-
ton of the alleged Internal machine.
The matter will be reported to Inspec-
tor Stuart and Postmaster Hesing to-
morrow. Should the box be found to
contain an explosive it will be the
fourth internal machine which has been
mailed to Mr.. Armour.

Nearly $500 Expended Last Month for
Relief Purposes.

keliet purposes.
According to the regular monthly re-
port of the relief committee of Admiral
Foote post Saturday evening nearly
5000 in cash was paid out in February
to assist sick and destitute soldiers,
while the coal, wood and flour distrib-
uted doubled that amount. 1t is one of
the main principles of the Grand Army
that 10 veteran who served faithfully
during the war shall be allowed to suf-
fer for the necessarieS of life so long
as there is a dollar in the treasury. 1t
is to keep this relief fund supplied that
the post is getting up this benefit at
Warner hall the 2lst inst. The enter
tainment committee are satisfied that
it is Captain Thomas illustrated bal
loon lecture that will put the money
in the house, and they have secured
him for that evening. From the pres
ent rapid sale of tickets it is evident
that the noble charity is receiving as
much support from our citizens as from
the members of the post. All of the
comrades have tickets to dispose Of
Tickets have also been placed on sale

Bodies of a Man and an Infant Found in a
Barrel.


Bodies of Mao and an Infant Found in a
Barrel.
Chicago, March S.-The body of a sew
enty-year-old man chopped to pieces
and that of a ten-days infant with its
skull crushed were found in a barrel in
an alley here to-day by rag picker.
The barrel had an old shirt tied over
the top of it. The rag-picker COM
menced to look for rags and picked up
the head of man with long grey whis-
kers. He dropped it in terror and ran
and notified policeman. The police
sent the barrel to the Hyde Park
morgue
The body of the old man was fearfully
nlutilated. The head was taken off and
two holes had been bored in the skull
at the forehead with an augur. The
right leg was cut off about at the knee
and two toes from the same leg had
been apparently severed with a cleaver.
The right arm was pulled out of its
socket, the left foot was sawed off ut
the ankle and the fingers We're cut off
from the left hand
The skull of the infant had evidently
been fractured by a blow. The body of
the infant was badly decomposed. The
killing must have been done two weeks
ago. No clothing was found except a
homespun shirt which was wrapped
around the head and shoulders of the
man.
A physician examined the bodies and
said the dissecting could not have been
done by a medical student, no matter
how inexperienced. 1t is almost assur-
ed that murder was committed.
