Badcn's Method Of saving Seed Corn

The most successful and Interesting
demonstrations of tie practicablhty OF
improving Indian Corn, IS that made
by Thos. Baden of Maryland, who, by
carefully selecting the best seed Is his
field for a long series Of years, having
special reference to those stalks which
produced the most ears, ultimately obs
tancd variety which yields four, five
six md even as high as eight and ten
ears to the single stalk.
The plan he adopted was this
When the corn was huskcd, he made a
re.solection, taking only that which was
sound and perfectly ripe. In the Spring
before shelling the corn, he examined
it again, throwing out any that had as
sumcl bad appearance during the win
ter. In shelling corn, he threw asId
the grains at both the large and smal
ends. lie has carefully followed 'hl
mode Of selecting seed corn. t~enty-iiF
, or thirty years, and still IF living con
tipucs to do So At rreseut, he do'
E not pretend to lay up any seed W''ho'
!. it comes from stalks which bear lou
FIVE and six ears.
In addition to the number OF ear
and Of course the great increase OIL
quantity unshcllcd, it yields much mo S,
= thon common corn when sbelled, Z
dinary corn will only yield five bu'h'
10 to the barrel.
at at Mr. Baden plants his corn five 4
he each way, leaving two stalks to the n !,
&c Which is equivalent to three ana a D
~ VI feet each way with one stalk to the N
