AS the name indicates, this vegetable
belongs to the sunhOwer family, having
small yellow flowers on the matured stalks
that resemble diminudve sunfower The
artichoke rests its claim for appreciation
in the vegetable garden simply on its
quality as a material for pickles. 1t af-
fords one of the incest and at the same
time the cheapest pickle than can possibly
be made. A great many persons prefer
a well-made artlchoke pickle to most
every other kind. There is no crop more
easily grown than the artichOke and I'M
der good culture hundreds of bushels can
be grown on an acre. The culture is ex-
actly like that of Irish potatoes. but the
artichoke when planted early in the spring.
continues to grow and increase its crop
until the killing frost comes. They need
not be dug when the tops are first killed
but the tubers can lie in the ground ell
the winter and be dug just as they are
needed; but they must be gathered before
the tubers begin to sprout. which they
are likely to do in February. Near tho
cities and large towns considerable profit
ought to be derived from a quarter or half
acre in artichokes. This vegetable is not
appreciated as it should be though If
it were, a thousand barrels of pickles
would be put up in the South, where one
is now, and the poor would use them as
regularly as they do any other article of
food. As an anti-scorbutic, nothing is su-
perior to artichoke pickles.
There are several varieties of the Je-
rusaiem artichoke-the red, purple, vel
low and white. The mammoth white
doubtless is as good as any, for It is very
productive. Medium-sized tubers cut in
hat and planted eighteen inches in the
row, with rows three 10 four feet apart.
is the simple method of planting, that only
needs good soil and enough culture to keen
the crop clean, to produce anywhere from
$50 to $50 bushels per acre Over / 900 BUSH
els have been grown on an acre but $50
bushels should be a very satisfactory crop.
The seed men demand 50 to So per bushel
for seed artichokes, but this Is very ex-
Orbitant Money can be made in grow
ing them for 81 a bushel or less Artl-
chokes sliced and fried or stewed or baked
make a very nice dish to be sure. but of
course, they are never likely to compete
with Irish potatoes as an article
of food; but the Irish potato
on the other hand can never compete
pickes-the only quality that we are claim
ing for it that entities it to garden cul-
ture. Those who are cognizant of it's
value on the stock farm need not be toll
how valuable a crop the artichoke is for
hogs and cows. Hogs cannot be raised
to the greatest profit on any farm with
out the aid of artichokes, for hog cholera
and other diseases are not likely to pre-
vail amongst hogs that have a fair ration
OF artichokes daily in the winter and
spring. But let us grow more artichokes
and make more pickles than we ever did
before.

CIemntia for shade.

1t ls quite common to be asked to rec
ommend a good clematis for shade, one
which will produce large flowers. There
is no clematis of this nature that l
know of. There are many large-fowered
kinds many of them of most beautiful
coors, but when it comes to look for
shade from them it is not there. says
Joseph Meehun in Practical Farmer All
the large-lowered ones are of sparse
growth. They make strong shoots from
near the ground, which flower from
their upper parts, but there are almost
no side branches, which are necessary
where shade Is looked for.
The best and only satisfactory elena
It's for shade are those bearing the
feathery white flowers, such as our
native one, Nirginana, the European,
Nitalba and the japanese, Paniculata.
These are rampant growers and give shade
quickly. All bear clusters of small white
flowers but the japanese is by far the
best. 1t has rapid growth, pretty foliage
and bears flowers early and profusely
There is, too, sweet odor possessed by
the flowers which is very agreeable. In
former years a clematis from the south of
Europe, called hammula, and as a com
mon name, sweet-scented clematis, was
much planted because of the fragrance
of it's flowers. This sort is a weak grower
at best. desirable as the sweet-scented
flowers are The japanese has all it's good
qualities coupled with more rapid and
bushy growth. Thus the Japanese Is the
one to plant where a clemats Is wanted
for shade. The use of the large-fowered
ones is to be found where a vine is want
ed for its flowers chiefly Given place
among other vines they make attractive
what would otherwise be, perhaps, but a
sheet of green foliage. The large purple
one. Jackmanni, still leads in purple color.
and there are white, lavender, maroon
and many intermediate shades Both the
large and the small-howered section are
composed of kinds very hardy over the
greater part of the country

Handling Milk scientiacolIx

Most creameries educate the dairyman
who supply them up to a certain standard
In handling milk and cream. A set of
rules is applied, which, if repeatedly dis
obeyed, brings trouble 10 the dairyman,
says the American Cultivator. These
rules are formulated upon the best-known
principles, and they should be kept and
lived up to by farmers who make their
own dairy butter on a small or large scale.
They will, in the end, profit by them, for
they all tend to the making of butter and
cheese. 1t is the order of the day to i'm
prove dairy products, and the man who
can produce gilt-edged milk, butter or
cheese is sure to make a good profit
The proper handling of milk as demon
started by practice and experiment all
over, is to aerate it just a s soon as possible
after it is drawn from the COW, and then
to cool or chill it. The reasons for these
two processes are simple. The first re-
moves from the milk certain animal odors
and gases that faint all fresh milk. The
sudden cooling checks the multiplication
of injurious bacteria, which will in a short
time increase so that the milk is in a fair
way 10 sour in a brief space of time The
modern aerators and coolers perform both
of these operations at once but a farmer
can initiate the work to a certain extent
to expose the milk to the clear air by
spraying IL out in a thin stream. If one
has a tub, and pours the milk or 49,. "
from a hight of several feet, he will ac-
complish what the aerators do. The chill
ing of the milk should follow Immediately
Clean cans that have been scalded out with
boiling hot water can be sunk into a tub
of ice, and then by pouring the milk into
them and closing the top tight with tin
and flannel. the necessary low temperature
viii be obtained in a short time. Some
farmers have simply sunk their cans in a
brook or spring of cold water, burying the
bottoms la a foot or two of sold gravel.
Where one has no ice handy this methd Is
a good substitute. BY treating the milk
in this way 1t will be sweeter, cleaner ana
purer and at the same time il will he 50
freed from bacterial germs that it can be
kept day OF Two longer than milk treated
in the ordinary way. II possible the milk
should be cooled to a temperature of 80 de-
grees and kept so. 1t goes without saying
that the utmost care is necessary to keep
the cans and utensils perfectly clean, ana
that they must be scaded out with boiling
water every time they are emptied and be-
fore new milk is Put In them.

Horse with Diseased Eyes.

NJ. s., WoodcliT. Ga: Have some doc
tor examine your horses eyes and see If
he is not already blind, or nearly So Ii
is possible that the animal is suffering
from a temporary inflammation of the
conjunctiva or from periodic opthaImia.
Your doctor will be able to tell you prob
ably
We notice that these eye disorders are
epidemic among cattle in the Western
states this season, a great many going
blind and ii is possible that horses may
also be affected in like manner. The
trouble is frequently the result of influenza
or catarrh.
Wash the eyes with tepid salt water and
once a day make an application of the fol-
lowing: Sulphate of atropine four grains
dissolved in one ounce of pure water.
With feather or medicine-dropper put
about a dozen drops of the mixture into
each eye. Keep the animal in a dark
place if possible and feed only some light
laxative food such as clean wheat bran or
fodder corn for awhile Use no corn at
all. Bath the eyes with the salt water
daily for some days.
