MoIasses a Good Feed.

The Maryland Experiment Station
made some exhaustible experiments
in feeding molasses last year, the re-
suits Of which are published in Bull
letin lit, from which the facts here
stated are quoted. These results
show that the addition of molasses
to a ration has a tendency to increase
the digestibility of both hay and grain
feeds. This, coupled with the gem
orally observed fact that molasses
contributes toward making feeds
more palatable, and also acts as an
appetizer, gives to molasses a rela-
lively high place as a stock food, and
makes it more valuable than its an
alysis alone would indicate.

Indian Tradition.

At the government house in Poona,
India, every cat which may happen to
pass out Of the front door after dark
is saluted by the sentry, who pre-
sents arms to pussy. Tradition re-
lates that in 1888 Sir Robert Grant,
governor of Bombay, died in the gov
eminent house. On the evening Of
the day Of his death cat was seen
to leave the house by the front door
and walk up and down a particular
path, where the late governor had
been in the habit of strolling after
sunset A Hindoo sentry observed
this and told a priest, who declared
that in the cat was Governor Grants
soul, and it should be saluted As
the particular cat could not be iden-
titled by the sentry, it was decided to
present arms to all the cats.-New

Th9 younger generation is not so
familiar with the artichoke az we're
our grandfathers. since It - NOT SO
extensively grown as it once was. But,
as it is SO exceedingly productive and
thrives under adverse. conditions, IL
might be made to supply a consider
able amount Of food. There are, by
the way two very unlike plants
known as the artichoke The one
commonly known in this country Is
called the Jerusalem artichoke; 1t is
one OF the sunnower tribe and is
grown for its thick, potato-like
underground tubers. The other, or
the true artichoke, is a plant allied
to the cardoon and thistles, the
edible part being the large, unopened
flower head. 1t is often known as
the globe, or burr, articholze. The
Jerusalem artichoke has been grown
in this country for long time and
before potatoes were SO extensively
grown as they now are, these arti-
chokes were used on the table in the
place OF potatoes. They were either
cooked or eaten raw GA favorite
way was to slice raw and eat with
vinegar dressing)
They are principally grown now
for stock food, being especially rel
ished by hogs that can root them out
An artichoke patch Is the Tplace di-
vine" for the long-nosed breed of
hogs In some OF the Southern States.
There is no reason why the arti-
choke might not prove far more use
ful for stock food than it has YET
been made. Since the plant is not
particular as to the kind Of soil on
which 1t is grown (only the soil must
be well drained, as wet soil will cause
the tubers to rot) and as it has
tendency to become a weed in waste
pisces. 1t can be of value in utilizing
remote and little-useds corners with
init encFoaching on the cultivated
areas. 1t also has the ability to re-
sist drought. which makes il a good
plant to growth regions where rain
fall is uncertain
The plant is propagated like the
potato, by means Of tubers. and the
preparation Of the soil and cultiva-
ton are the same as for potatoes
Also, like the potato and other root
crops, ii requires d liberal amount
OF available potash. This element
should be supplied in the form of
sulphate, when possible, and good
mixture to use on the artichoke held
is one Analysing three per cent. nj
trogen, eight per cent. phosphoric
acid and eight percent potash, which
should be worked into the sell before
the seed Is planted, Being d much
larger plant than the potato, it re-
Quires more room, and three feet
apart Is about the right distance for
the hills
A great factor in favor OF the arti-
choke Is that II is free from attacks
lof insects and fungus growth, 1t is
perfectly hardy and can be planted
almost any time the ground is not
frozen or too wet. In fact, it can
be planted in the fall and depended
upon to come up in the spring. The
tubars are, not injured IL allowed
To freeze In the ground, but are
applied If frozen outside of the
ground. The yield per acre is very
large, often greater than potatoes
in the same field For furnishing
a feeding ground for hogs and a
relish for horses and sheep the arti-
choke can be commended. I'D. /.

ECZEMA SEEMED INcURABLE.
Body was Raw Discharged from
Hospitals as Hopeless-C nticura
Remedies Cured Him.

h61neu1cB OuTeO 61m.
From the age of three mcnths until
fifteen years old, my son Owens life was
made intolerable by eczema in its worst
form. In spite of treatments the disease
gradually spread until nearly every part Of
his body was quite raw. He used to tear
himself dreadfully in his sleep and the
agony he went through is quite beyond
words. The rAgimental doctor pronounced
the case hopeless. We had him in hos
pitfalls four times and he was pronounced
one of the worst cases ever admitted.
From each he was discharged as incurable.
We kept trying remedy after remedy, but
had gotten almost past hoping for cure.
SIX months ago we purchased set Of
Cuticura Remedies The result was truly
marvellous and to-day he is perfectly cured.
