A Bro Drove OF CArTLk.-Last Fri
day 200 head Of bseves came aoross
from Kalama and were taken down to
Seattle the same day. These cattle
were driven into the mountains, ON the
Yakima side, by their owners, with the
intention of going through the Snoqual-
mic pass. but recent snow had been %
heavy that, after ten days struggle, the
effort was abandoned, and the drove
headed for The Dalies, whence they
were brought over the lines of the O. r.
d N. Co. and N. p. r. b. Il cost Mr..
Geo. Smith, the owner. a good round
sum by the time he got them to their
destination. The market men in
Olympia are nov paying twelve and a
half cents per pound net weight for
beef cattle, and the present high prices
will no doubt continue at least elk
weeks longer.-Courier.

Varieties Of Germ.

The Massachusetts, Pleughman says: The
exhibits of seed corn made during the past
autumn indicate that the farmers are alive
to the Importance Of improving this most
important grain. While it is yet too early
to decide which quality will eventually
Ike the lead, it is evident that at present
the eghrowed, long cared yellow varieties
end the most favor. In this class there are
variations, which have been produced by
selection. Each grower having peculiar
id sas of his own, he selects acrording to bis
ideal OF perfection. Some select large single
ears on small stocks, others twin ears, with
out regard TO the size Of the stalks others
select the largest ears with the best kernelsi
and still others select the earliest, with but
little regard 10 other qualities. These diff
ferent methods of selection have II ilted in
the production OF variations in the direction
sought by each growers thus proving be-
vond n doubt that the farmer has it in his
power 10 improve the qualities Of his corn
in sueh direction as he may think best. The
important question now seems to be; VIA
are the most desirable points to be I'M
preved ? At first thought it would seem
that the twin ears would stand first, but
careful observing farmers express an opinion
against twin ears and give as reason that
il is better to have one large ear on small
stalk than 1t is to have two ears ON large
stalk, one of which will be very sure to be
of medium size aud often of an inferior
quality aud they argue that it is less labor
TO grow two small stalks containing two
medium sized ears, and the belief is ex-
pressed that, the weight of the stalk which
produces two medium sized ears must be
nearly equal in weight to the two s'alk'
that have one large ear each, the fodder o.
the latter, being smaller, will be eaten
much more readily. If each farmer con
tinues tn select seed according to his par
ticullr idea, at future period OF time, q
com parson Of the qualities of the difieren
variations each has secured, will settle, a
least in measure, which method OF selec
ito secures the most desirable qualities.
