Easily grown. Great Disease Preventers. 



The Hogs do the Harvesting. 



Their wonderful productiveness and the ease with which they can be produced is 

 ilw^ays a surprise to those w^ho cultivate them the first time. A. C. Williams, of Iowa, 

 I very prominent breeder of Poland Chinas in large numbers, says: "The keep of my 

 logs when the ground is not frozen, is Blue Grass, Clover and Artichokes. Forty head 

 if hogs and pigs may be kept without other food on an acre of Artichokes from the time 

 rost is out of the ground until they grow again, and from October 1st until the ground 

 reezes solid. They produce more hog food per acre than any crop I am acquainted 

 vith, and the hogs will harvest the crop themselves. Hogs taken from Artichokes to 

 ilue Grass and Clover will not root up the sod, as they are free from intestinal worms, 

 onstipation, indigestion and fever, caused by feeding corn in winter. They can be 

 )lanted either in fall or spring, for while in the ground freezing and thawing does not 

 lurt them. Cut to one eye like potatoes, and plantin rows 314 feet apart and 18 inches 

 a the row. The second year break up the ground as for corn, after which the plants 

 (Till come up thick all over the surface ; run through each way with a cultivator when 

 . few inches high, patting them in hills like corn. If left too thick they will not yield. 

 Vhen dug in the fall and stored they should be mixed with one part of soil to ten parts 

 if Artichokes, to prevent shrinking. Per peck, 50 cts.; per bushel, $1.50; per three 

 mshel lots, sufficient for one acre, $4.00.
