The above is taken from the Ameri-

ton of an artichoke is in the form OF
sugar, therefore always ready for use
on the part of the eater. One acre will
keep from 20 to 30 head of hogs dur

black soil, land which is too frosty for
many crops, is. fine soil for the srti-
choke. for freezing will not injure

They often yield on good land as high
as 800 bushels per acre. There is vast
difference in artichokes. The native
or wild kind is worthless, while the
improved variety is Of great value.

about good roads. 1t has this to do: /
have figured that if we had maintained
a system of good roads it would have
cost me half as3much to market my
products. Itwould have been done with
haiti of the teams, half of the hired men,
less than half of the cost in wagons. The
wagons have wrecked on our bad roads

on good roads, but it is safe to say that
my loss on wagons alone was $1,000
more than it would have been on rea-
sonably good roads. figure that the
extra teams and their living, cost me
$4,000, and the hired help-more than
I would have had if the roads had been
such as that paper tells about-has
cost me $4,000. Every man of mature
Judgment ought to know that it we
had good roads about here, and especial
ly between here and the cities to the
right and left, where most of our prod
ucts are marketed, and where we do
most of our trading, and in one of which
we attend church, and where our. sons
and daughters go to high school, this
farm would be worth double what it is
now, and call it worth SIC, 1000 at pres
lent. That is $4,000 more that would
have been added to my savings BY good
roads That makes my loss over $751;
600, good deal more than am worth
to-day. My bright boy and girl must 20

If had had the benefits to be derived

good roads. Farmers would save
enough by them to become bank de-

ious for good roads. You, too, would be-,

It was an unanswerable argument
and the money lender admitted as much
by departing without saying another
