This analysis shows artichokes to con-
tain fairly large amount of nutriment,
being superior to potatoes, turnips, ruta-
bagas, squashes and pumpkins.
Artichokes are grown much the same
! as potatoes. From four to six bushels
OF seed per acre are recommended by
different growers. The tubers may be
cut small like potatoes, and planted Is
to Is inches apart in rows 81 feet apart.
Planting may be done in the spring, till
June l, and also during the latter part
of the fall, before freezing. The ground
should be well titled and weeds destroyed.
The roots spread widely, and at the end
OF the season, unless cultivation has
!, been vigorous, cover the ground. Freez-
ing does not injure the tubers, so that
they will live through the winter and be
sweet and palatable in spring.
! Several varieties are advertised. The
Jerusalem is an old, well known variety.
j The Red Brazilian and Mammoth White
| French are also popular. The Red Bra
lillian has been grown somewhat in
D America for over a score of years, and
it is claimed that it's roots do not spread
as badly as do the Jerusalem. The
price CT roots varies widely. From Cir
culars in my possession quotations range
from Is cents to $500 per bushel, the
Jerusalem being the cheapest. One
{ Indiana farmer advertises SIX bushels
for $500.
The artichoke is very productive, and
it is freely claimed by growers that 1000
bushels per acre may be grown.
There is some diversity of opinion
concerning the desirability of growing
this plant on the farm. Some regard it
as a nuisance owing to the difficulty of
controlling it's growth, while others
think it a valuable food for pigs. Mr..
L. N. Bonham, former Secretary of the
Ohio State Board of Agriculture, states
in recent Breeders Gazette that he
spent five years in eradicating it from
his farm. There are others also who do
not endorse this plan. There are num-
erous pig raisers, however; who find
artichokes profitable food for their
stock. Coburn in his "Swine Hus.
bandry" quotes the favorable experience
Of number of swine breeders in grow
ing and feeding artichokes. Simon Cox
of Illinois, in a late Breeders Gazette,
states that last year he raised 10 acres
of artichokes, and that he found them
much cheaper for his pigs than bran or
shorts. PROFESSIONALLY, as succulent
food they aid in keeping the system in
healthy condition by promoting a
desirable activity of the bowels.
Farmers will be wise to try this crop
on small scale to bring with, and then
increase It's culture If experience justi-
fes. Without doubt the pigs will relish
the roots, as they are evry palatable, and
feld of them makes good roofing
ground for the hog.

Dietary Studies at the University of Tenne-

Dietary studies of students club and
a mechanics family have recently been
made at the University of Tennessee by
Prof. Chas. e. Wait, under the auspices
of the U. S. Department of Agriculture.
The results are published as Bulletin 20
of the Office of Experiment stations, en-
titled "Dietary studies of the University
of Tennessee in 1885," The amount of
food consumed and it's composition were
determined, as well as the ratio of the
tissue-forming nutrients to those which
more especially yield energy. Prof. o.
w. Atwater and Chas. D. Woods, special
agents of the department, have COM
pared these results with those obtained
from investigations in New England
aud elsewhere. They have shown the
points of similarity and differ ence, and
how these results compare with dietary
standards commonly accepted by physi-
ologists. 1t appears that the students in
Tennessee, Missouri and Connecticut eat
sufficient food, though there is rather
less protein (the tissue forming nutrient)
and rather more carbohydrates and fat
(the nutrients which yield energy, but
can not form muscular tissue) than the
standard calls for. The discrepancy is
more marked in Tennessee and Missouri
than in Connecticut. The Tennessee
and Missouri students eat more poultry
and eggs, more fat pork and less beef,
mutton and veal than the Connecticut
students. Protein is provided in its
most available form in meat, milk and
other animal foods. The students in
the south obtain considerably more of
their protein from vegetable sources
than the students in Connecticut. In
every case over ten per cent of the pro
tein purchased was wasted, the waste
being chiefly in the form of animal food.
The results of this study bear out the
opinion quite prevalent among students
of the subject, namely, that consider
ably more fat is consumed in the south
than is necessary. A better balanced
dietary could be obtained by using more
of the leaner meats, as beef and mutton
more heterogeneous vegetable foods, as
beans and peas, and less fat and starchy
foods. Attention IS called to the great
value of the cowpea as a food, and It's
more general use is recommended.
This work at the University of Tenne-
see is part of an extended investigation
which the Department of Agriculture is
carrying on to learn the food habits of
people in various sections of this coun-
try. 1t is mott purpose of such study
to teach people to weigh out a definite
! number of ounces of food. which shall
be divided in three portions, and taken
at the proper intervals. The object is
| rather to teach the uses of food, the
value of the several nutrients and their
proper combination, and how to make
the most of available food resources.

Artichokes as Stock Food.

Through it's director, Prof. 9. S.
Plumb, the Purdue University Agri-
cultural Experiment Station has just
sent out bulletin regarding artichokes
as stock food. From it we take the fol-
lowing: "For many years artichokes
have been grown in limited way in the
United States, more especially as food
for pigs IN pasture. The following an

Gates that, however hot the present

MUST GIVE Up ONE DOLLAR.

Last Mondays Picayune contained
the following among Its press dis
patches:
"Pit,sburg, Pa, Aug. S.-A notice
soliciting donations for use in the
presidential campaign by the Repub-
lican committee has been posted in
Jones & Laughlin's mills on tile south
side.
The firm employs 5000 men.
The notice reads
"All those in favor Of sound money
aud DESTROYS of getting an honest dol
lar for their days work will, OF their
" free will and accord. subscribe 81

al national committee
There Is no name signed to the re-
quest, and the company said it would
not be compulsory for any of the men
to subscribe
st would not be compulsory for any
of the men to subscribed" What gall
1t will not be compulsory, but woe
unto the employee who cannot read
between the lines ard does not take
the hint.
The covert threat Is all the more
contemplate and despicable because of
its indirectness. There is no m~anliness
about it /; it Is simply a cowardly sng-
gestion TO the einplo, ees that they
must subscribe.
The manufacturers are under obi
cation TO contribute to the Republican
campaign fund. add they are under
taking not only to constrain their en-
ployes to vote the Republican ticket,
but also to squeeze the substance out
OF them to make up the amount of their
contributions.
When one contemplates such despi-
cable tyranny on the part Of protected

thrown on the whole situation, and
one no longer marvels at the animosity
of the masses against the classes daily
growing more intense.
