ARTICHOKE ROOTS — Most Valuable Food for Hogs that Can Be Grown 



EVERY HOG RAISER SHOULD PLANT THEM 



After one acre is planted their value will be so appreciated that larger areas will be devoted to them. They are not only very healthful, bu" 

 is a fattening agent are unexcelled. They yield very hea^^ly, 200 to 350 bushels to the acre being realized on good soil. It is not necessary U 

 llg them for if given the opportunity the hogs will help themselves. 



Not only are they valuable for hogs, but are an excellent food for cattle, sheep and horses. Fed to milch cows, they are valuable fo 

 the production of milk, being equal if not superior to bran. 



Artichokes need planting but once and little or no culture after the first year. Cut as potatoes, only smallei 

 plant in rows three and one-half feet apart. Plow deep, plant shallow, say two inches. The second year, br^ak uf 

 the ground as for com; they will come up thickly all over the surface. Run through each way with a culti\-ator when c 

 few inches high.
