The "Pedigree COrn,v

When Mr.. A. NJ. Foster, of Cabot, pre-
sented specimens of this corn before the
Board of Agriculture some six or seven
years ago for the purpose of illustrating his
lecture on Seed Saving" we were growing
a variety known in Orleans county as the
kingsbury corn, very productive sort, but
10y no means thoroughbred, the ears being
eight, ten, and sometimes twelve-rowed
The Kingsbury" has record of very
large yields, under favorable circumstances
but is little too late for our locality as a
crop to grow for seed. 1t will always ma.
ture sufficiently for grinding purposes, but
in unfavorable seasons cannot be dried out
in large quantities sufficiently to be reliable
for seed corn for sale.
Mr. Foster presented us with his speci-
men ears, and we planted them. The corn
does not make near so much fodder as the
Kingsbury, but it " ears terribly" as a neigh
Dor who saw it remarked. We found it
FULLY ripe ten days before the Kingsbury
and yielding one-half more on equal areas
1t is corn that approaches very near Dr.
Sturtevant's ideal, there being less than ten
per cent. Of barren stalks, even with ordin.
airy culture while many stalks produce two
good ears. The average crop with fair cul
ture is stated low at seventy.ive bushels per
acre. When highly MANFRED it does not
tend to excess of foliage. We mean, this
year, to do what we have neglected hitherto,
push it with fertilizers, and see what it can
be made to do, using also DIR. Sturtevant's
intercultural tillage. 1t would be funny il
we should happen to reach two hundred
bushels per acre ahead of you, Doctor,
wouldn't it?
We will add that the pedigree is
thoroughbred, and produces eight rowed
ears without variation, averaging nine inches
long, and all perfectly tipped out. In uni
formity of growth and ripening it is un-
equalled by any we have ever seen.

Instruments of Precision.

1t was a rather interesting coincidence
that in the same issue of this paper in which
we urged the more general use OF the ther-
mometer in dairying, appeared also the
valuable communication of Mr.. S. F. Nye
on the use of the same instrument in sugar
making. 1t is a most encouraging evidence
of the increasing intelligence which is be-
coming so manifest among the farming
class. The desire to "hew close to the
line" and no longer depend upon about
right" and "guess so," marks time dis
tinctly in the progress of our agriculture
The same thing is manifested in the testing
of milk and cream, and in the accurate trials
of different rations of food for dairy cows and
other animals.
Whether to claim this decided advance as
due entirely to the work of the Board of
Agriculture and the Dairyman's Association,
as some do; or, on the other hand, to claim
that the institution of such means OF i'm
provement and the general movement of
farmers all along the line of progress, which
has been so manifest in the last ten years, is
due to the generally better education of
farmers and farmers wives, is difficult of
decision Neither could be full success
without the other. Both the Board and the
Association originated with the advanced
farmers. Neither were forced upon us by
any outside influence. Both the advocacy
and the opposition has been among the
farmers alone, and it is pleasant to see that
all opposition is fading away as these agencies
of progress continue to prove their right to
exist by the good work they do.
The paper of Mr.. Nye, though the work of
plain practical farmer, is in true sense
scientific, and would be accepted as valu-
able contribution to human knowledge in
any scientific assembly. When our farmers
generally, or any considerable number of
them, have once become interested in scien-
tifc observation agriculture will progress
toward perfection with rapid strides. 1t is
because of this that we urge the introduce
ton of elementary scientific instruction into
our common schools. We do not expect
that complete chemists biologists or bot
anists can be turned out from these "people's
colleges" But we do believe that such ele-
mentary instruction, by competent teachers,
will give a taste for investigation that will
grow and develop, and make observing,
thinking men-men who can observe and
think 10 some practical purpose-of our
farmers, and like women of our farmers
wives We have never been more encour
aged to hope for the early realization of such
a "good time coming" than by such good
scientific work from practical farmers as
this paper of Mr.. Nye's, and that of Mr.
Skinner on dairying.
