FERTILIZATION OF CORN.
rom the Elmira Husbandman

From the Elmira Husbandman.
At late meeting of the Elmira, n. Y.
Farmers club, the sollowing question was
asked: Will kernel of corn planted by
itself, in place remote from other corn,
produce perfect ears. And the answer was:
No; at least it is not likely to produce per-
feet ears, because it cannot have perfect fer
tilization. President Mccain gueried:
sWould it not be well to plant in the corn
field occasional hills later than the first
planting, in order TO effect greater fertiliza-
ton of ears with the later pollen falling
upon the silks of ears formed after the poi
len had ceased TO drop from the earlier tas-
sells in such profusion as to provide certain
fertilizations'' Mr.. Hoffman thought il
was not necessary, inasmuch as the pol
len would continue to fall so long as the
necessity existed, and he explained the
method Of fertilization as observed
in his long experience. While single plant
might effect perfect fertilization, the chances
were not favorable, because pollen, light a
it, floats off with the wind laterally, and
would be carried away from the ears beneath
whereas in the field the pollen from one row
may be carried across many others, and al
last reach the silks upon distant rows. dc
was very sure that his corn had been mixed
with other varieties, when the mixture had
come through pollen from fields many rod
distant, thus showing the tendency to distr!
button within the field where single variety
prevailed, and the tendency to mix also wher
another variety was within such distanc'
that the wind might carry the pollen to tn
fields awaiting fertilization. As to the fact
that the best cars are usually the upper one
when two or more are borne by the SAM
stalk, he regarded it as in accord with pro
vision of nature, the best fruit being fount
usually on the upper limbs Of the trees, ant
the best grapes on the higher branches.

AMOUNT OF GRASS SEED PER
ACRE.

| see in some of the papers lately writer
claiming that farmers do not SOW enough
grass seed per acre, and says in substance
that this fact accounts for their iaiinre IN
raising a good crop of grass. lie claims
that two bushels of timothy seed per acre is
not too much. and teat peck or half
bushel is not enough. Now, what has led
this writer to such ideas or conclusions do
not know. but do not hesitate 10 pronounce
them unsound. When was young man.
and jus, beginning farming for myself, one
of my neighbors, an older man than myself,
told me he used a half bushel of timothy
seed per acre. and thought that about right.
| sowed this amount last year and observed
that NV grass crop was not as heavy as
l had grown before from less TO the
acre. The grass grew too thick TO attain &
proper height. In other words, II was too
thick to thrive. The next year sowed only
a peck per acre. and had better results; but
/ was satisfied had sowed too much still to
secure the best returns. l reduced the
quantity till cane down TO two quarts per
acre. am now satisfied that three TO four
quarts per acre is enough If put in SO Il can
grow. l do not throw il on the ground and
! leave il TO cover itself. or wait for the rain 10
do that. cover il as / would any other
seed that wish to grow. Now, farmers, let
us look at this matter little. How many
seeds to the square foot would you wish TO
| have grow SO that each stalk may have room
10 grow and thrive. Could more than one
seed TO the square inch do we'll! think l4i
seeds to the square foot is as heavy seeding

has already begun to make its appearance
in Washington, and, before the congress
sional session IL over, the city will swarm
with such crowd as it has never known
before. / well remember the army Of bum
mers that thronged the hotels, one
wear ago, when the prize was the
pittance that the Democratic house was
able to dispense. Imagine that crowd multi
piled by ten thousad clamoring for Offices Of
trust and responsibility, and they will get
the Offices. Cleveland, no matter how good
his individual intentions and resolves may
be, will be paralyzed and powerless in this
environment These men have made him
president, and they will make his presi-
dency.
But perhaps lam premature in my gloomy
augeries, for at this moment, hear that the
national Republican committee have re-
claimed New York on later returns thar
were before them when they telegraped Mr.
Blaine, conceding the state to Cleveland. i
is evident that the official returns can alone
decide the question, and while it is folly t
be elated with delusive hope, it is natural t.

The old keystone state rolled up Blain'
seyenty-eight thousand plurality.
A BLOWHARD.

The Beacon is down 10 its old tune OF
"liar" That sheet can't get above such
epithets either in argument or reply. Inc
editor of the EAGLE did not open or see
single issue of the Beacon for last week. we
did not see what it had to say about our an
nouncement with reference to the dispatches.
Oscar Smith nor any one else, then nor SINCE
said one word about our misrepresenting the
facts. in our hearing. We said that the pre-
tended private dispatch bulletined by the
Beacon was no doubt bogus. We still
believe it was. We said in answer to an an
nouncement that the Beacon was going to
read the dispatches THAI night from their
awning that it would do no such thing for
the simple reason that they were franchise
worth S5,OOO-not SJO0-and that the EAGLE
owned them exclusively, and that the Beacon
could only read such bulletins as might be
sent in. 1t wss just dusk and the Beacon
had lighted up. We repeat the same thing
now and have the documents to prove all we
said. If the Beacon should wear out all
It's presses chlililS us iiah 81 "N"eN 'ON
affect the truth of that assertion. That out
fit must have taken the people for fools. we
heard dozens of people say that the Beacon
did rot read the dispatches in full, and IN
evidence of the fact is the great crowd stayed
on this side of the street, knowing that We
read every word that came and just as 1t
came. In conclusion, we have nothing to
crawl out of and nothing TO apologize for.
The Beacon gets only the noon report, and
that is all it does get and all it can get. The
EAGLE gets all that the Beacon does and three
times as much beside. A thousand men
heard what we said, and Thousand men are
lust ms well satisfied as we are that the Beacon
read only such bulletins and dispatches as
suited lis side. and thousand men are just
as well satisfied ms we are that the "solld
south" bulletin never came over the wires.
The whole matter in nutshell is We treated
the people fairly, and the Beacon did not,
in It's chagrin it concocted cock and bull
story only to deny it.

as is desirable for the best results. have
seen timothy seed come 50 thick that none Of
it grew six inches high; it Just choked
one another out Now, how much seed
must be used to furnish one seed to the
square inch! A little calculation will an
swer this better than can answer it in any
other way. BY actual count the scruple
weight Of timothy seed contains $500
seeds: one ounce, IS 800 seeds; one pound,
LBS 800 seeds; one bushel, IS, 20, 600 seeds.
One acre contains 100 square rods or 1850
square feet, or 6,272, $40 inches. From the
above you see that one bushel Of seed to the
acre would be eight and eight-tenths seeds
to the inch; Of course two bushels would
furnish twice as many or l7.6 seeds to the
inch. Who wants seventeen or eighteen
seeds to one square inch. What folly.
What a waste Of seed. This is, in my Opin-
ion, profigacy. From the above we see
that one quart of seed has 1,728,00O seeds,
