missioner w. A. Carr received fren Mr..
Boley number Of twelve-rowed saIs.
which were planted on sod on the 2lth
day CT June. The corn was cut slxty-four
days after planting, and was fully ma
tured. Nearly all the ears were twelve
rowed, sixteen ears had sixteen rows each,
and one hsd twenty rows. Thus proves
conclusively that BY the simple prscess Of
evolution the Rec c.rn can be made the
most profitable and sure crop Of The west
Missouri country.
OF corn culture In the Red River valley
the Grand Forks t'lalndesler says: Mr.
Omer Bushnell, Of Niagara township, has
q field Of corn that VI. planted .; the
25th Of May and was ripe and out 81 the
way Of frost by the 9Th sf september. Mr..
Bushnell says there Il not the Ieast doubt
in his mind about the success Of rsising
corn in this country, especially the early
varieties and from this fact alone 10 "
assured that stock raising can DO nsde 10
pay far better than wheat.

If by concentrated actien the fa1.

wheat for say one month, the prices would

less necessary to brulse them for special
reason. Corn ground with the cob adds
to its bulk and does away with some OBJ
iectlons to its use. Hay fed with the
grain helps the digestion. We should
prefer not to melsten the grain, particu-
larly if the animal u greedy feeder.

----- ----E
The London agent Of the Natlonai De-
partment Of Agriculture cables - result
of statistical Investigations, that the year
will not be one Of supersbuhdance; that
European wheat, though above the aver
age in product, will be less than the ag-
gregate Of 1882 European importing
countries need 260, ,000, 600 bushels absvs
production. European countries export
ing can supply sO,o00, 900, leaving ls0,-
vOO, ,0VO bushels to be obtained from ether
continents. stocks are net excessive,
there Is increased consumptisn Of wheat,
and it is the general opinion that the low.
est prices have been reached. Potatoes
and rye are less sbundant than last year.
