Indian Corn ~ Grass.

John W. Draper in his History Of THE CIVIL
WAR IN AMERICA, published by Harper &
Brothers, AID which is the most philosophical
history published, gives the following interesting
tsss illustrative of the influences Of climate:
OF tho cultivated staple plants of the United
States, one of the most valuable il maize, or In.
dian corn.
This plant is originally a tropical grass Of
singulary elastic disposition. In certain looali-
ties Of the South it attains hight of more than
adozen feet elsewhere it is dwarfed to stature
Of two The coler Of its grain vuies-it may be
chocolate-tinted, red, yellow, or white In some
places the buttsry and bland oil contained in its
seed rises to twelve per cent. Of the seed-weight
In Others it diminishes to four. One fern Of it
abounds in sugar, another contains less amount.
There are varieties that require long season to
fpen their grain, in others it comes to perfection
IN eight or ten weeks.
When maize is caused to grow in region of
high and steady temperature, it tends to revert
TO its original form of succulsnt grass In the
Pacific valleys opening to the sea it reaches ito
full average height, but the stalk is slender, and
there is little disposition to mature the seed. It
gains its maximum productive value in the At
isntic States above latitude Al degrees. Though
the height attained is lees, and the plant more
insignihoant in appearance than in the South.
the ssed-yield is said to be four or five times A.
heavy.
Climate differences therefore produce singular
transformations in this plant, and give rise to
many varieties of it. A rapid increase Of tom.
Perature congresses it's growth into n smaller
number OF days, and greatly increases its value
BY increasing its nutritive yield. The sudden
access OF heat needfnl for this favorable re.ut
mast, however, De Of a tropical character. The
northward limit at which it will grow n. marked
by the isothermal of 81 deg. for July. For that
reason it can not DO brought to perfection in
England, nor indeed in California.
Analogous to maize in many of it's habitudes
isthe sugsr-cane, though thus fur inferior in the
range of its modification. Doubtless bv care and
patience its cultivation may be carried much
farther to the north than is at present the case
its period OF growth has already been compressed
from the sixteen months necessary in Venezue,
to the ten months requisite in Louisians. The
tropical habits of the plant may therefore be
broken up without injury to its economi cal value
But of these staple plants cotton displays the
most valuable disposition TO modification. In il,
native tropical home it is perennial tree; a. its
extreme limit of northerly growth, an annual
herbecesus plsAt. Without difficulty it passe,
from the woody to the herbsceous, or from the
hsrbeceous back sEsin to the woody form IA tn,

SPURsEoN.-Au English correspondent says
that the famous Mr.. Sturgeon, tho modern
Whitfield, was! announced some time ago a.
having become . tee-totalar. This week, at q
conference Of Baptist ministers, he publicly re-
pudiated the pledge, and declared that he could
not get through his arduous labors without his
wine and beer. He even confessed that he had
been for some time taking then on tho sly. His
own words are: II bought some wine and some
medicine glasses, and think TO. year drank
no vino but out Of medicine glass, and with a
locked door, But, Of course, it leaked eat, and
1 found was doing more harm than by open
drinking" etc. In short, he took to "open drink
ing" again, whatever that may be.

certain point the moro moderate the temperature,
and in this respect, therefore, it resembles maize
which reaches Q maximam value near the cold
limit Of its growth. To produce the most perfect
staple, such Is that known "a the Sea Island, the
Aanidity supplied must be moderate and uni-
form. For its successful cultivation, its growth
must take place between the frosts of spring and
these of autumn and hence, the farther it 10
carried to the north, the more hastily must it be
compelled to run through ito cycle Of life. This
compulsory compression ~ to time 10 the cause of
diminution in size.
The small cereal grains Of the United States
wheat rye, etc,-theugh all perhaps remotely of
Asiatic origin, have come to us through Europe,
and therefore bear with them the climate impress
of that continent. 1t 10 for this reason that the
Pacific coast suits them 90 much better than the
Atlantic. No country in the world is superior TO
California in the production of wheat. With
most of these grains, - with cetton and corn the
maximum value is near the cold limit of their
growth, and all of them readily submit to cli-
decentralization.
The principles involved in producing msdifca-
ton are, perhaps, best seen from the considers
tion Of special example. If, therefore, We take
the case of barley, We ind that if the mean tenn
perature sinks below SO 1.2 deg, or rises above
II 1-2 deg, the plant will ne longer succeed
There are, therefore, two limits, a low and high
one, Wltnln when lts grown must tSke place.
In Egypt, on the banks Of the Nile, barely is
sown at the end of November, and harvested at
the end of February; it rams through its entire
cycle of life, therefore, in about 80 days At
Santa Fe do Bogota, the length between seed
time and harvest is 122 days; in other localities
it is known to be - long as 1S8 days. The
plant requires certain quantity of heat for its
dsvelopement, and will come to perfection
whether that heat is distributed over longer or
shorter period of time; but, with such changes
in the mode of application of the heat, transfer
nation occurs, and = now variety Of the plant
arises
