New DISCOVERY WITH CoRN.-Au intelii-
gent andreliable neighbor Of ours. who has for
many years been making experiments with corn.
has discovered an importance and value in re.
planted corn which is quite novel and worthy
Of publication. We have always thought re-
planted corn was of little consequence; but this
gentleman says 'it is OF so much consequence
he replants whether it is needed or motor,
rather, be plants two or three weeks after the
crop is planted, a; hill about every fifteenth row
each way He says: "Ifthe weather becomes
dry during the filing time, the silk and tassel
both become dry and dead. In this condition,
if it should become seasonable, the silk REEVES
and renews its growth, bat the tassels do not
recover. Then, for want OF pollen, the new silk
is unable to fflthci Office for which it was de.
signed. The pollen from the replanted corn IS
then ready to supply the silk, and the filling Is
oompIeted.'ha He says nearly all tho abortlve
ears so common 10 all corn crops. is caused by
want Of pollen, and that he has knowo ears to
double their size in this second fliing.-Ec
