The Importance Of good seed is very
generally acknowledge, if not acted
upon by most farmers. The small
quantity of seed required for crop Of
corn should induce more attention to
the situation BY the planter himself,
or obtainmsnt from some reliable
source of seed of-the most approved
kinds. A paragraph which We find in
an exchange As to the effects of All ex-
pertinent with Dent corn, shows, if
the writer is correct, the great differ
ence in the yield of two lots used for
seed. The corn was obtained from
two parties in different parts Of Mich
igan. In one case the corn had been
grown ten years or more OH the same
farm. In both cases the corn was
much alike. The two lots of corn
were planted in alternate rows in .
plot by itself. The tops Of one set of
rows were all cut of, thus securing q
perfect cross on those stalks. Seed
from this cross was saved and planted
to compare with corn not SO crossed.
The yield from the crossed seed e1-
cesded the yield of that not crossed in
the proportion of 153 to 100.
In recent address on the subject
of corn, Prof. Beal remarked that the
topmost ear was best for seed; of two
fields, one planted with seed taken at
random, and the other selected in the
field, the latter yielded as much again
a. the former. Manure and cultiva-
ton may be thrown away on poor seed.
The best time to cultivate corn is be-
fore plsnting. A shallow cultivation
was recommended. The professor
makes an assertion, however, which it
will be difficult to accept He says:
"Twenty-thres ears of corn can be
produced from one kernel; by proper
cultivation and the use of the best seed
a. high as twenty-five ears

The Disruption Among High Ohicinls

st. Louis, April 2. .-Chauncey l. Filley, who
has just returned from Washington, where he
has been for some time In intimate relation
with the president and high officials, makes
the following statement regarding the re-
ported difference between cabinet
officers and senators and the presi-
dent: Newspaper reports upon these
matters are all exaggerated aud colorsd to
make them accord with the sources from which
they smanate, and to suit the parties In whose
interest they are promulgated. There is no
doubt but that Attorney-General MacVeigl,
has taken decided stand against
MIR. Chandler for SOLICITOR general.
This action OF MacVegh antagonizes Secretary
Blaine and makes the contest a personal one

dent. This is particularly the CASE M 1t is re-
