ArtIehek.. Dor HOO.

Artichokes are pre-cminently hog
food, that IL. are more easily and suc-
cessfully fed to hogs than to any 9TH
er class OF animals. Tho reason Is
that the hog is constructed and or
dained by nature to hunt his food
largely in the ground. He delights In
digging for roots. Roofing II as much
q delight to him as II IL to the small
boy to go fishing. The Joy that boy
feels when he pulls q good-sixed nsh
out Of the water IL paralleled by the
Joy hog must feel when, in his root
ing In an artichoke field, he comes
across a big succulent artichoke. OF
course the artichoke Is not food to
be compared to grain In its service to
man MS a hog feed, but without doubt
the food of tho character Of artichokes
has in It something more than is rep
resented In its food nutriments. It Is
adapted to serve digestive purposes
that are not found In grain. Man Ia
accustomed to feed too heavily Of
grain to all Of his animals. and lighter
foods lessen the strain on the digss-
tive syptem. Wc would be pleased to
hear from our readers as to thoir
experiences In feeding artichokes to
hogs.

rotary of the empire, and General
Lung Fuh Slang are heading an army
that is advancing from Pekin to the
southeast, with the object OF dlverting
the allies from pursuit OF the emperor
and the dowager empress.
On Saturday, August II. the imperial
household left Pekin. Prince Tuan led
the march with his troops, taking the
emperor, the dowager empress, and all
the Manchu mobiles. Their destination
is believed to be sIsnan-Fu, in shensi
province.
With them left. all the elements hos
tile to foreigners, Prince Cheng was
left In command at Pekin, and he well
coined the allies in friendly manner.
These reports are from Chinese sources.
The empress dowager beheaded
twelve of the imperial Cinnamon who
refused to leave the capital and were
suspected OF favoring the foreigners.
The personal property which the
empress dowaser sent away filed sixty
carts. Her retinue went on foot, ow-
ing to the hurried advance of the allies.

gone to frontiers of his province to
meet the empress.

"A similar application has been made
by Earl Ii to ell OF the powers inter

His suggestion OF Minister Conger as
the American commissioner is based on
the Idea. that. as Mr.. Conger has been
rescued, he has now the opportunity to
proceed to the point where negotiations
will be held and conduct them. The ap-;
plication. does not suggest any particu-
lar terms nor does 1t ask for the with

negotiations shall be for the purpose Of
bringing about a cessation OF hostiltt-
les. }Sji
Acting Secretary Adee said that the
communication from Earl II will not be
made public. The matter has been re-
ferred to the President. and will prob

Ii Hung Chang recites the notes of
July 8 from Secretary. Hay, and claims
that all the conditions therein named
have been met, so that the time has ar
rived for negotiations.
The reply of the United States, as
announced at the state department, Will
be that the United States does not con-
slider that the conditions laid down
have been complied with. Those con-
ditions included the opening of COM
munlcation between the Chinese I'M
perial authorities and the allied COM
marders, the restoration OF order In
China, and the security OF the foreign
ministers. Even the latter, 1t is claim
ed, has not yet been assured and can
hhrdly be said to have been satisfac-
torily provided for until they have ac-
tually been brought in safety to the
coast. An answer to this effect wifi be
sent to Ii Hung Chang within the
next twenty-four hours.
