Peruvian and Egyptian Corn.
Colusa Cali Sun.

Coco Corn.-Jackson Hart pro-
cured, while at San Francisco last
week, FIVE pounds of the largest corn
ever seen 10 this country. 1t looks
like small oyster crackers. The corn
was brought from the valleys of the
Andes, 400 miles back of Lima.
John Parrot had 400 pounds of it
brought down on llamas. and sent it
to San Francisco. He says it cost
him 75c. pound to get it, and Mr..
Hart was glad to give a five dollar
piece for what he got, @ pounds. He
is giving it out, few grains in place
to men who have good land and who
will take good care of it. AS Nh.
Hart bought it for distribution, Col.
Hagar now comes in and offers $40
premium for the single stalk that has
the most corn upon it, and we will
add the Sun fer year for the second
best stalk. 1t is said that it produces
from 800 to 400 bushels per acre
where it is found. 1t would make no
bran whatever, but the whole grain is
fine -four. Fit will do anything like as
well here as it does in the Andes, it
will be valuable acquisition to the
agriculture of the state, We hope that
every man who receives a grain of 1t
will see TO it that it has a chance.
Don't plant it within the eighth of
mile of other corn, 50 that it may be
kept pure.
San Francisco paper: There is some
inquiry for Egyptian corn, of which
supplies for the first time were mark
eted last year. In regard to the pro-
auctions of it in the foothills, the Pla-
Ger Herald Of Saturday publishes the
experiences of Henry Adams of Clip
per Gap, in that county, in raising
Egyptian corn: II planted two acres,
and in soil that did nos consider my
best by far. 1t turned out far beyond
my expectations, and | am convinced
that this soil and climate are well
adapted to it. This ccrn is far supe-
rior TO any other for meal, and makes
a very palatable dish cooked like rice.
For poultry feed it has no equal. 1t
will yield 1907 cent. per acre more
than yellow corn and with less irrigr-
ton. | have not quite completed
harvesting mine; but Judging from
what | have harvested, it will turn
out at least a ton and half per acre.
Unlike the fodder of other corn, which
is considered Of much 7alue in Cali
fornia, this makes good feed and
double the amount that any other
would make. The stalks are finer,
with more leafand do not dry out like
other kinds"

ed the usual exercises at 4 o'clock, P.
NJ, and then retired as any other
gentleman would have done.
To say that l get paid forfour days,
for which render no service, is un-
true; as this term will not include
the 4th of July. If he bad said that
1 work eight days for which I receive
no wages, he would have shown a lit
tie more intelligence. The law re.
quires me to devote eight days Of
every year to institute work, which
l regard as rigid imposition. The
difference between eight and three is
FIVE, which is in favor of the people.
Poor little puny "Ruralisty' In
referring to the ballot box, he made q
very contemplate insinuation. ]
wonder if he thinks that his vote
will ever defeat any candidate fol
office?
This thing of barring the door
against teachers for the sake of q
little candy, is simply outrageous
and when large boys do such thing
they ought to be arrested by the
civil authorities. The practice re
cedes nthe same ratio that civiliza
ton advances.
In concluding this article, Mr.. Ed.
itor, permit me to invite "Ruralist'
to come out fairly by giving his real
name. If he does not do so, l hope
that you will not publish his article

w.. This being the case, they see
but two parties in this State, one
the strong and powerful Democratic
party, and the other the weak, dis
heartened Republican party.

mains to be done to heal the disaf-

end we suggest the holding of a
Democratic State Convention some
time the coming Summer, inviting
all who are opposed to the Republi-
can party to meet and adopt a plat
form of principles upon which all
can urite. The election in 1850
will be an exciting one; and such
divisions as we had in our late elect
ion, must not be permitted again, If
it is possible to be avoided.
