. Breeder and sportsman. Horses. Maech 17, 1900] CkJje gpseefret mt& fgpenctmtnan* l?o THE FARM. &. Tonic and Fattener for Hogs. I have been raising artichokes for the past five years, have read of the merits of sugar beets, maneel wurzels, rutabages, turnips and other vegetables as a winter stock food, but for productiveness, combined with nutritive value, small cost in harvesting the crop, I can not conceive of anything lha>. equals the arti- choke, especially for hogs. Other root crops I have not tried owing to the fact that frost would greatly irjure them if not harvested and safely stored away; but with the artichokes this is wholly unnecessary, as they will remain fresh and sound through the most seveie freezing weather, with a covering of half inch of earth. I doubt not that many who look upon the artichoke in condemnation,do so because they have not given them a fair trial. We could not expect a bunch of 15 or 20 hogs to live and fatten for five or six months through the winterer, one-eighth of an acre of corn, and so with tbe artichoke. Make the siza of your artichoke patch in proportion to yield and number of hogs to be pastured, and you will have, with very little grain, a bunch of hogs, or ahoats, that are fat, sleek and in perfect health. The effect of the artichoke on tbe digestive organs cf swine is gently purgative, an effect to which all animal life should be subject, especially during the period when vegetation is dormant. So deeply am I impressed with the health- giving qualities of toe artichokes and the great risk I would take without them, that I say, where the hog grows there should the artichoke grow also. J. E.
