BUCKBEE'S GREAT BONANZA RATICHOKES — The greatest hoar and stock food known. Is without question the greatest root hog fattener 

 in the world, attracting widespread attention not only on account of its great fattening properties, but its enormons productiveness, 

 and the ease with which they can be grown. Thousands of my custoniers who have given Buckbee's Bonanza Artichokes a 

 thorough trial the past season report yields of from 600 to 1,800 bushels per acre. I cannot urge too strongly every farmer and 

 planter to grow an acre ormore this year, because I know it will be to their advantage. They are an acknowledged preventativeof 

 cholera and other hog diseases ;also 

 and horses. Well adapted to any 

 igrown. Three bushels will seed an 

 potatoes, one eye to a cut being 

 and the seed 1 to 2 feet apart in 

 crop is ripened you can dig and store 



J. P. VISSERING, the Jioted Hog Specialist, of Alton, 

 m., writes: consider Artichokes the best of all 



food for hogs." 



an excellent food for cattle, sheep 

 soil where corn and potatoes can be 

 acre. In planting cut the same as 

 sufBcient. Rows three feet apart 

 rows. Cover two inches deep. When 

 same as potatoes, but as they are not 



injured by freezing, the hetter way is to plant them where you can allow them to remain and turn the hogs in on them, and they 

 will help themselves by rooting. Not only will they grow fat, but they will buUd up large healthy frames, with plenty of bone and 

 muscle, only requiring corn for a short time in the finishing process. One acre will keep from twenty to thirty head in fine condi- 

 tion from October until April, except when the ground is frozen too hard for them to root. This grand" new variety is of my own in- 

 troduction. Don't be misled. I control the entire stock of Buckbee's Great Bonanza Artichokes. Notwithstandmg the scarcity of
