R. /. HISTORICAL SOCIETY.


1.-The Colonial Currency of Rhode ISL
and and It's Contributory Effect upon
the Premium of Silver Prior to 1850"
was the subject of an interesting paper
read by Andrew Mcfarland Davis. A..
NJ. OF Cambridge. Mass. before the
Rhode Island Historical Society last
evening Mr. Davis stated that in 114l
Rhode Island had E334O I'm bills in cir
culation. and that most of these were
distributed through Massachusetts,. The
first emission was for f5000. TO be COLI
lected yearly, E1000 "a year, thus allow
ing them TO run for Ave years. For that
period they were equivalent To the
amount specified on them in current
coin. At the end of the fiye years they
were 10 be redeemed.
In l7l5. the first big loan OF 10000
was made 30 the colonies, and this was
in two installments. one OF G30,00O. the
other OF E10.000. They varied from Go
notes To one shilling notes. They We're
loaped for 10 years at per cent. Later
another large loan was made. From
time To time as. in the opinion OF the
colonists. " became necessary. these
loans were continued beyond the time
originally specified. Massachusetts be-
came the dumping ground for most of
this currency. BY legislation which ap-
parently was not solidly founded. IL be-
came possible for these loans To be in
flated until the notes had lost their
original value and silver had greatly
Increased i'm value shortly before 1850.
According to Mr.. Davis. the counter
feiter ilourished in those days. and the
punishment meted out TO him was that
Of having his ears cropped, a large "R
branded ON each cheek, imprisonment,
his property forfeited and he compelled
To pay double the face value of the
notes If he had Nc property he was
sold and put To work for term of

Chicks Feathering.

There is a great difference in the
breeds as to the time of the chicks
feathering out. Some of the non-set-
ting breeds feather out very quickly
and therefore need more attention in
the matter of food. This precocity is
not desirable, but we must admit that
it can not be helped. AS the feather
takes not carbohydrates, but proteins.
for its formation. it is evident that we
should give more of this kind of feed
to the chicks at the time they are be-
ginning to feather.
The breeds that do not feather M,
quickly are supposed to stand the nroc.
ess better, for it is the opinion among
poultrymen that chick that feathers
slowly is more certain to be raised
than the one that feathers out ranidlv
This is due to the fact that the process
is very weakening, and the chick fails
an easy prey to lice and germs of dis.
ease.

after II. The creamery man has to pay
two or thres dollars for team anu
driver, when many times the farmer
teams are idle and can do II mucn
cheaper than the creamery man. lno
expense comes out Of the farmer IN tne
end. and l claim the present plan Woulu
be more successful.
Q.-How about in the summer!
Mr.. Lyons-In our experience tne
milk for MANY of the creameries IN
Southern Illinois is brought IN py inc
young people, children, and OLD peepio
that are not very serviceable on the
farm. and thus it is done with very I'LL
tie expense. Suppose half dozen farm
ers club together in locality. ".
course the one that comes in loses hail
a day. but how often does that happen?
Only once a week, and he must come
to town for supplies occasionally. VI
course where farmers are within mile
of the creamery it takes only small
portion of time.
Q.-You do not mean to say that the
milk is delivered only once week?
Mr.. Lyons-I mean that where half
dozen farmers club together one
needs to come only once week.
OIL am not interested In this mat
ter at all; but it strikes me very forcl-
bly, that can see a great objection to
1t. 1t is utterly impossible for man
to operate fifty machines as we'll as ne
can one. If this gentleman has tifty
or seventy-flve patrons the use OF hand
separators would thus necessitate fifty
or seventy-flve machines instead OF
one. The difference in the expense is
great.
Mr.. Lyons-The idea of the hand sep
arator is that the farmer has one him
self.
Q.-That doesn't change the matter.
He has to make the investment and
keep it in order. In your creamery you
operate one or two machines. In the
other case you have seventy-fve. NO
TWO farmers will operate the same ma
chine alike, one will operate it right
and one wrong.

Artichokes.

That artichokes are valuable is IN
necessary to prove, the experience of
generations having fully demonstrated
that fact. Like all crops, whether or
not 1t is to be cultivated depends on
the incidental circumstances by which
the farmer is affected. If a man is
devoting his entire time to bookkeeping
or to flower growing Of course he will
not find artichokes profitable. But to
the farmer who is raising hogs the arti-
choke may prove of great value.
Artichokes need only common soil,
and even do well on poor soil. They
will stand more neglect than most
crops and yet yield an annual crop.
This makes them particularly valuable
to farmers that have many hogs,
much land and few hired men. In such
cases the harvesting is done by the
hogs themselves, thus saving the ex-
pense of labor. When they are thus
fed, being rooted out by the swine
there will usually be enough tubers left
in the ground to seed the whole area
for the next year.
Although artichokes will grow on
poor land they do best on land that is
rich, light and that has an open ex
posture. The plant is very hardy and
will endure the cold of any part of
the United States. Pillow deep and har-
row the ground. Probably 1t is better
to plant the seed in hills, as the plants
spread rapidly. Prepare the ground as
for potatoes, planting the seed in a
similar manner. the hills being about
three feet apart. About three bushels
of seed will be required to the acre,
and the manner of cutting potatoes for
planting will apply to the artichokes.
Small ones are often planted whole.
A potato planter may be used. They
should be planted as early in the
spring as the land can be worked.
Blossoming usually takes place in
August and from that time on till the
end of the season the tubers are in
creasing in size and hardening. The
stalks will have withered by the time
the frost comes and the tubers are then
ready to be dug. They can be dug the
same as potatoes and stored the same
way, but if possible, it will be found
advantageous to allow the swine to
begin operations as soon as the crop
is ripe.
AS to seed there are many kinds rec
commended by the seedsmen, among the
most valuable of which are the French
artichokes.
