58 JOHNSON SEED COMPANY 
Jerusalem Artichoke Roots 
The best hog food 
known. They are re- 
markable for their 
fattening properties, 
great productiveness 
(over one thousand 
bushels having been 
grown On one acre) 
and ease with which 
they can be grown. 
They need not be dug ; 
the hogs should be 
turned in on them, and 
will help themselves 
by rooting. One acre 
will keep from twenty 
to thirty hogs in fine 
condition from October 
until April except 
when the ground is 
frozen too hard for 
them to root. They 
: are also said to be a pre- 
ventive of cholera and other hog diseases, and they are also 
highly recommended for milch cows, increasing the yield 
‘of milk and at the same time improving their condition. 
Three bushels will seed an acre. They should be cut 
and planted same as potatoes, one eyetoa cut being sufficient. 
They can be shipped atany time during the season, as they 
are not injured by freezing. Prices, Jerusalem Artichoke
