ARTICHOKES 
JERUSALEM ARTICHOKE 
The New Large Jerusalem variety produces from 300 
to 600 bushels per acre. An excellent food for hogs, cat¬ 
tle, sheep and milch cows. For milk production they are 
equal to if not superior to bran. But their greatest value 
is food for hogs. Even the labor of feeding is avoided, as 
the hogs will help themselves if allowed to do so. We con¬ 
sider them the cheapest and healthiest hog food possible 
to raise, and find that where brood sows have free access 
to artichokes they and their pigs invariably do well. Hogs 
will not only grow, but will fatten on them. Price: M 
bu., 75c; bu., 50 lbs., $2.50. Two bushels will plant an 
acre.
