While and Yellow Corn,

Mr.. J. AVerill of Paw-Paw, Mich, asks an
answer from your correspondent to the fol-
lowing question: "What is the relative yaue
of white and yellow corn for feeding purposes.
and especially for the fattening of pork?n /
am sure do not know, and do not know
any one who does know so fully that we can
accept bis knowledge with entire confidence
that he is correct; and for the reason, in the
hrst place, that we have no accurate ANALYSES
OF Indian corn to the extent necessary to
enable us to decide whether white or yellow
corn contains the greatest amount of fatten-
ing or carbonaceous substances. In the Sec
ond place, no doubt that soil, situation. cli-
mate and latitude affect Indian corn, as they
are known to do wheat, and Indian corn, like
wheat, would be pretty sure to take up more
mineral matters from the soil, and more nit
rogenous ones from the soil and atmosphere
together, on strong, rich land, and under a
long, warm summer climate, than on a poor
soil, In short, cool summer. We know
most Southern corn absOrbs more water in
cooking than northern corn, makes better
bread, and, If we accept the accounts of tray
elers as facts, we know the national tortilLds
of the Mexicans to be made of Indian corn
solely, and after being baked, to be tough and
leathery, as buck-wheat cakes are.
So far as Illinois is concerned, nine-tentbs of
all the corn grown is Of the yellow varieties,
the preference for white corn being confined
to the southern part of the State but those
eaters of corn bread having southern antece-
dents, are sure to choose white corn meal, as
those of eastern are quite as sure to select
yellow meal for culinary purposes. If our
information is correct, the larger share of the
corn grown in the South is of the white var
ieties, the white ones only being used for
bread, as the yellow ones are cultivated and
preferred in the North. Generally speaking
then, on these grounds, think it may be
safely assumed that northern corn contains
most oil or starch, and southern corn most min
eral or abnminous matter: that the former
