Ghe farm and Garden.


The Country Gentleman has had sew
eral communications in reply to an in
quiry whether the end grains on an ear
of corn should be planted or rejected ?"
One correspondent writes: .
In 1853 an experiment was instituted
and carried through on the farm connect
ed with the Reform School in Westbor-
ough, Mass, in order to ascertain the
facts i'm the case. An acre of land was
planted with corn, in alternate rows,
with seeds taken from the butts, middle
and tips of the ears. The sound corn,
soft corn and stover of each were weigh
ed and i'm the report is table of figures,
showing the yield of each kind of seeds.
But as they would occupy too much
space in this, omit them,. and simply
give the result, as reported by Mr.. Flint,
Secretary of the Massachusetts, Board of
Agriculture. He Says
"On comparing the crops g1own on
this field, and estimating the sound corn
and the stover at seven dollars the ton,
it will be found that the value of the
crops produced by the rows planted with
seeds taken from the butts, was S12 So.
The value of the produce of the rows
seeded from the tips of the ears was
Sl2 36-(pretty near a drawn gameD
'The butts produced the most, the tips
the next, and the middle the least mon
ey valne: while the tips produced the
most, the butts the next and the middles
the least sound corn, and middles pro-
duced the most, the butts the next, and
the tips the least soft corn. 1t is difficult
to determine by this experiment from
what part of the ear the seed should be
taken. Probably q mixture of the whole
ear, being most natural, would be the
best.n
Another writes:
"a gentleman prepared his seed by
shclling as usual some days previous to
planting, by putting the grains from each
end of the ear by themselves, and those
in the centre of the ear, which he had
always looked upon as only the right
ones to plant separately. BY some mis-
hap, the man (how convenient to have
some one to lay blunders to- at planting
got hold of the wrong parcel, and planted
| only the poor seeds-the mistake not be-
ing discovered until too late to remedy.
| The result was looked for with some
anxiety, the man supposing he would
harvest only an inferior crop at the best
but was agreeably disappointed in hav-
ing good average crop both in quantity
and quality. After some observation
and experience, / have arrived at the
conclusion Though [ am aware it is not
exactly orthodoxy that the length of the
seed ear makes but little difference this
being determined almost wholly by the
the strength of the soil. l 1wouldas sooI
plant from All ear eight as twelve inches
in length, if the seeds were equally
bright and sound"

BooKs. n PROPERLY used, are chiefly valuable in
supplying to those who read them new experiences
and new points OF view. II not 80 used they mere
ly turn the students into sort Of walking sncy-
clopedia. And the fault Of the book-worm is, that
the more he banishes himself from the world the
more he has q tendency to become mere collector.
He has at his fingers ends all the curiosities Of
literature. But the energy and sympathy with
his age, which alone can convert the curiosities
the future, has died out Of him. In order to make
his mark upon the world he ought to be full OF
ideas, and he is only full Of facts. He finds him
self in is old age beaten, as fnr as influence and
power are concerned by those who have learnt lcss
but made more active use Of the little they have
read. In word, genius and action are inseparable
companions; and the book-worm, paradoxical
as it may seem, is compound Of laboriousness
and inaction.
An EXCHANGE says that the best gardeners in
France are in the habit of cutting off the stem Of
the tomato plants down to the first cluster Of fow-
era that appear thereon. This impels the sap into
the two buds next below the cluster, which soon
push strongly and produce another cluster of fow-
ers each. When these are visible the branch to
which they belong is also topped down to their
level and this is done five times successfully. By
this means the plants become stout dwarf bushes,
not over eighteen inches high. In order to pre-
vent them from falling over, sticks or strings are
stretched horizontally along the rows, so as to
keep the plants erect. In addition to this, all the
laterals that have no flowers, and, after the fifth
topping, all laterals whatsoever, are nipped off
In this way the ripe sap is directed into the fruit
which acquires beauty, size and excellence unat-
tainable by other means. It will be well for our
friends to try this simple and rational method the
present season.
