About Sweet Corn.

Strange as may seem to those accus-
toned to sweet corn, there are parts of
the country where it is yet unknown
In many places in the West and South
people still content themselves with
the roasting ears" of common field
corp. The history of sweet corn is oh
scure, but there are facts which point
to It's origin with the Naragansett In
dams in Rhode Island. There is the
same difference between sweet and
field corr that there is between wrink
led and common peas. The conversion
of the contents of the grain into starch
is arrested, and the seeds in both re
mains much wlinkled. The writer can
|recnllect when "A Massachusetts, man
living in Rhode Island, sent annually
by stage. as an acceptable present t"
his friends in Boston, IA basket of sweet
corn. 1t is within comparatively re-
cent times that sweet corn has become
common, The american AgricutturiSt
no doubt reaches many who are not
familiar with the varieties of Germ
known as sweet" and we do a good
service to these when we call attention
TO it's superiority to any common kind
of corn. The mail new allows every
one to procure seeds from dealers any
where at a mere triAe for postage, and
the seed are within reach of all. Among
the earliest varieties EARLY Minness-
ii" is one of the best for the main
crop, we have used Triumph" and
:. Excelsoir,'' and consider whichever
one of these happens to be Oh the table
at the time as the best. Besides these.
there are IA dozen more varieties, all
good, and vastly better than any field
coru.-AmericoR Agrieuttuyist for Nay

ghe wealth of the Nation.

An exchange says: 1t is not easy
to comprehend the accumulated and
developed wealth of the United States
resulting from the cultivation of land,
opening of mines, building of railways,
manufactures and the engaging of so,
600, 900 of people in the varied indus
trial pursuits. This increasing value
is very large at this time from. the
profit in producing and which is most
ly keptsat home to build new establish
| ments. The census statement OF the
wealth of the nation Is $4,000 ,OOO.OO
in industries and something evei 80,
900. 600. 900 in mines and agriculture,
