How TO Produce Large Crop Of lndi-
an Corn.

Filters Of the soil accustomed to culti-
Sate Indian corn, who have heretofore
raised only twenty to thirty bushels per
acre, NAV produce one hundred bushels,
mourning no more expense in cultivating
the crop than is required to raise twenty
five bushels, provided they will begin right
aud proceed with a iudicious system of
management.
The first step towards such a result win
be to produce seed that has been improv-
ed by careful selection for several sue
cessive seasons, until every stalk will
produce two large ears OF beau iful pro-
portions; by selecting the seed for a num-
Der of years, until every kernel would pro-
auce ears true to the variety. Tillers of the
soil can no more produce a large yield II
grain from inferior seed than they can
rear heavy and beautiful oxen and tat bull
locks from q worthless scrub, and from
cows that are of little value.
After an excellent variety of grain has
been obtained, an effort must be msde
every season to keep the CROWN. grain
from crossing with other varieties and a
supply OF seed must be selected at every
harvest, choosing only such ears a. ms
iure fast and which will produce the most
perfect seed
The next step will e to improve the
fertility OF the soil 30 that it VIII he prac-
