1t is working the wrong way to at
tempt to reduce the size of the cob
in field corn. If the cob could be re-
duced in size to one inch in diameter
by selection of seed for q series of
years, the product of the crop must
certainly bs greatly reduced at the
same time. A cob two inches in dia-
meter has double the space to be
filed with grain that one half that
size has. The efforts should be to en-
large the size of the cob III thickness
and length, and to increase the length
and number of the grains at the same
time. There is no doubt that much
may be done in this way by selecting
for seed those ears which have the
largest number of rows and the great
est length, and planting the seed re-
mote from other corn.

ROFITABLE BUSINESS FOR
WOMEN,

One of the most profitable, as well
as interesting kinds of business for
woman, is the care of bees. In an
agricultural report it is stated tina
one lady bought four hives for $40,
and In five years she was offered ST.
800 for her stock, and refused it as not
enough. In addition to this increase
OF her capital, IN one of these five
years she sold twenty-five hives and
42O pounds Of honey. 1t is also stated
that in five years one man from six
colonies of bees to start with, cleared
5000 pounds of honey and fifty-four
colonies. When properly instructed,
almost any woman in the city, as
easily as in the country, can manage
bees, and make more profit than in
any other method demanding so little
time and labor. But in the modes
ordinarily practiced few can make
any great profit in this employment.
1t is hoped a time is at hand when
every woman will be trained to some
employment by which she can secure
to herself an Independent home and
means to support a family, in case
she does not marry or is left q widow,
with herself and family to support.
