 "lndlan corn Is wholly a summer plant, and the tropical suns and and rains Iof the United States are highly favorable to certain and abundant crops. IL takes the whole sum mer, from spring to October and November, to perfect it whist wheat, oats. barley, and rye, in that country, are harvested in June, or earl J ln July. This fact alone speaks much in favor Of Indian corn.
 ''lhe weight of per acre of their crops of 1 Indian corn averages double the weight per acre oi their crops of wheat, besides having the great advantage (with less risk of bad eroPs) Of sumner cultivation over that of an autumn cultivation and witer's care and risk; and the former also takes les seed for sowing than the latter.
 "lndlaa corn is lso full as heaye as wheat, measure for measure; and in the grinding and dressing, tlie oi1al of the for former is also much less than that of the latter.
 ''To these various causes the comparative cheaperness of Indian corn oyer wheat is ow- ing in that country.
 "I'he price of Indian corn in the United States is generally a little oyer half the price of wheat, as, at the present time, the best h. dian corn IS eighteen shiIIings sterling per quarter of eight bushels, and .he best wheat hirty-two shillings, in the Philadelphia maT- ket.
 ''Poulry including turEeys IS so plenti- ful and cheap in the United States as to form part Of t3.e food of the common laborer but this would be impossible, were t not for the cheap production and latteaing quality ol their Indian corn; and as to the unbouade5l plenty, good quality, cheapness, and uaiVer- sal use of theif pork CT bacon, need n0t here say anything Indeed, netaing is so sa- tislactory to the buyer of animal food food in that country, as the knowledge or assur- anre that t is corn-leed, always s.mcaning la- dian corn

 "lndian corn being an agreeable, nutriti- oua, strong, and latiening food, the manure produced from il is of high value in agricul- ture; which with the grinding anu prepara- lion of this food, together with the breeding and late8iag of animal stock of every kind would give q profitable advantage to agrieQI. ural labor. bepond all comparison to liaPas ting animal feaa, either alive or dead.
