The OId I5rUwn Corn.
IRen. ParleY Pnore. 4


The Brown corn" which was introduced
about thirty years since, is probably bet ler
adapted to the northern portion of the
United States than any other variety. 1t
wes an improvement on the King Philip
CON-" and the manner in which il was eli u
mated is described in the agricultural vol
ume Of the Report OF the Commissioner of
Patents for 1858. Mr.. Brown, who perfec ed
IL and gave il mis- name, cultivated at that
time an island of /, 100 acres in Lake Winnip i.
seogee, and raised one crop of 1876 bushels 10
the acre, weighing seventy pounds to the
bushel CT fifty nine when shelled and dri 3D.
Mr.. Alvin Lawrence, of Mexico, Oswego
County, New York, raised equal to 1874
b1shels TO the acre. Il was found that tnis
variety Of corn was adapted to the region rs
of the United States north of Nav
Jersey ana 10 the mountainous regions of
Pennsylvania, Mary land and Virginia. It's
kernel is large and yellow, and eight TO VS.
grow on q remarkably small cob from eleven
to fourteen inches in length. II contains IL
per cent. in oil, being the maximum of this
cereal, while other Wanted varieties are
destitute Of this ingredient, and, Of course,
far less nutritious.
In published narrative Mr.. Brown said

Horses are not provided with knee-caps on
their fore legs. The stife-joint on the hind
leg is provided with patella, representing
the knee-csp of man.
Blistering severely is the only chance of re-

Breeding Prom Young Stock.
Western Rural.

A correspondent writes to inquire if it is
desirable TO breed from FLIES? The answer
will necessarily depend somewhat upon cir
cumstances. 1t is to be noted in the first
place that it is perfectly natural. If they
were wild they would breed; and nature
makes no mistakes. Why then should they
not be used for breeding purposes in do
INVESTIGATED state? The only reason that can
be urged against il is that our treatment of
the domestic animal in lures its powers and
retaTds its development; and no doubt this
is often true. But il should not be true.
ANY system of breeding or treatment which
antagonizes nature should be abandoned at
once. Improved or domestic breeding is a
science only when it is an aid to nature; and
our domestic animals ought to be in better
condition to fulfill their mission than they
would be in the wild state. A FLY that has
come from good stock, and has been cared
fer with q view to fully developing the
system, is fl for breeding at two years old.
The period of CESSATION is eleven months,
snd therefore, the animal would be nearly
three years old before the colt was foaled
But if used for breeding purposes at such an
age it Will hardly do TO work her during the
period of CESSATION. Here again nature
should be our guide. If the animal were in
the wild state the system would have TO bear
only the burden OF breeding. III we attempt
to increase that burden the results may be in
furious both to the mother and the colt. II
we intend 10 work FLY, therefore, we
should not use her for breeding purposes,
and if we did not so intend We should have
no hesitancy whatever in breeding from her.
Whatever the age may be, the system Of feed
ing should be such as to keep all parts of the
system we'll supplied with nourishment, but
this is particularly true of young animals.
The food should be of a character to keep
the bone and muscular system strong and
imI rowing. and there should be strict care to
guard against feeding too much of tbs heat
ing, fat-producipg 70 7ds.

The general public will without question
find the new postal notes much better
adapted for general use than the fractional
currency was, rs lthey can be obtained in
any sum under s., and they will also be
less liable to THEFT than was fractional cur
rency when it was sent through the mails
They will, however, be less convenient in
that they can only be obtained in money or
der offices.
Another good act upon the part of the
Government is the reduction of letter post
sge from three to two cents, which
goes into effect on and after
October l, this year. This reduction is on
each half ounce or fractional part thereof
between all points in the United States,
which is the same as the drop letter rate is.
1t will be seen from the above that after Oc-
tober the cost of sending any sum under S.
postal rates Will be five cents-three cents
fee and two cents postage. This will be &
great saving 10 many of our large firms who
have large correspondence.

Feedinc fnr OnnlirY and Yield.

A writer of the Country Gentleman has
the following to say regarding the feeding of
dairy COWS for quality and yield: ITO pro-
duce first class gilt-edged butter from a herd
of Jersey COWS the food must be pure and
wholesome at all times. Weeds in pastures
or hay destroy the fine flavor of the butter.
Reg weed and others are as injurious In a
manner rs wild onions. The next great
point is cleanliness, commencing at the
yards and stables and ending with the flu
ishing of the butter. To wet a cows tests
while milking is filthy practice and should
never be tolerated. If these rules are strictly
adhered to and the modern dairy fixtures
employed the result will be satisfactory. IL
it is not, then the dairy maid has neglected
something, or she does not understand
the business. l have noticed in your
valuable paper the statement of a CORE
spondent that if a COW yields large
amount of butter it will be of an inferior
food required to produce it. l assert that to
be delusion. Take, for instance Mr.. Oar
ling's young cow Bomba, now admitted to be
the queen OF her family, and full sister 10 f.
NJ. Garry rs yourg bull Trailer, who, from
all present Indications Is destined TO be the
coming bull and king of the Rioter-Vlolet-
Alphea family. Bomba was not overfed
during his official test. To make cow pay
give her variety of good food of bulky
nature, as much as you can get her to eat up
clesn, with plenty of pure water to drink,
end not allow her to be beaten, worried or
excited and you may be assured that the
food will not inJure the quality of her but
ter. Any practical man knows, when testing
a COW, that if he overfeeds her she will surely
go off her feet inside of three days, and prob
ably be sick from indigestion. That ends
the test until she RECEIVERS her health. 1t is
sheer folly to try to force sixteen or
eighteen pound COW to yield twenty-one
rounds of butter in seven days. There is no
TODD known 10 dairymen that will do il. q
