How Spiders Mako Love.
60 JEFFERSON STREET

Some interesting experiments have
been lately carried out on the range of
vision and sonse Of color possessed by
spiders. Twenty species were selected,
and their study and observation extend
ed over eight successive summers When
their prey, which consists of small in
scots, is motionloss, they perceive them
at distance of five inches, but when
they arc moving they can sight them at
greater distances. while each other they
can see distinctly up to at least I2
inches.
Apparently sight, not smell, guides
spiders, and wo arc told how the males
Ill the mating season throw themselves
into quite different attitudes, according
as they catch sight of female or male
spider. 1t was by this mode of express
ing their emotions that tho range of
sight as we'll as powers of distinct vision
possessed by these insects was tested

That is exactly what happens in the
digestive organs when constipation be-

is forced into the blood. 1t goes all over
the body and causes all sorts of symp-
toms. A few of these arc dizziness, flatu-
lence, heartburn, palpitation, headaches,

distress after eating, biliousness and erup-
tons OF the skin. These things are un-

The breeders of hogs should have
an artichoke patch. If it is in some
out of the way field, so the hogs can
have access to it. SO much the hetter.
The richer the field. the greater the
yield. We have had reliable persons
tell us, that on rich bottom land, the
artichoke has yielded two thousand
bushels per acre. They are very cas-
lily raised and hogs and pigs, in this
latitude and south will harvest the
crop, themselves. In the spring. if
the hogs are kept out and the
ground smoothed over with har-
row, there will be plenty of seed left
to give as large crop the next fall
as the one harvested. Or they can
be gathered like potatoes, but are
better buried i'm pitts than when kept
in the cellar like potatoes. They
will not bear warmth and air like
potatoes, being inclined to decay
quicker. The artichOke for hog feed
ing is one of the cheapest crops rails
ed, and horses, cattle and sheep are
equally fond of them. Hogs on an
artichoke diet have never been
known to have the cholera. | have
