A CORN EXPERIMENT.

Much speculation has been INDUCED
n lately in regard 10 the relative value
Of the corn on the butt, middle or top
Of the ears, for seed. A farmer near
burlington, Iowa, experimental with
il last year, and. while we are aware
that single trial proves but little, it
is good as corroborative evidence, and
rs such we give il as il was reported
10 the Indiana Farmer. He SAYS:
Il grew three rows of corn of 125
hills each the past summer as an exper-
iment-more 10 satisfy myself than
with the expectation of raising big
crop. | am glad that | tried the ex-
pertinent, for until did try it | always
doubted the big yield that could be
grown from the corn taken from the
butt ends and top ends of the ears of
corn. The custom with the farmers
has been TO shell the butts and tops
and feed them, and use the rest of the
corn TO plant. This very corn that has
been rejected by the farmers has prov
en- to be not only the most prolific but
the earliest. selected a piece of Sec
ond-bottom land that had been well
manfred for two years, and selected
80 ears of yellow Dent corn, and
picked the grains from the butt and
tip ends of the cars, and the same
number of grains from the middle Of
the ears, and dropped and covered by
hand on the sixth day of May. /
planted three feet ten inches apart,
cultivated four times with the cultiva-
tor, and thinned out to four in hill.
The top grains came up one day soon
er than either of the others, and began
TO mature six days sooner than either
of the others. The corn from the top
ends was somewhat the largest, and
more even in size, but no better in
grain than the butt corn, and did not
yield quite SO much. Both the butt
and top corn was perfectly dry and
solid by the Goth of October, while the
idle grain corn was soft and shriv-
eled. and anything but good corn, and
fell short of the other two paintings.
The butt corn weighed 3l2 pounds,
the top corn weighed sos pounds, and
the middle-corn PA pounds. Counting
IS shocks TO the acre, ten hills square,
the butt corn would yield about I25
bushels to the acre, the top corn would
Weld 122 bushels'to the acre. aud the
middle corn would ield 109 bushels to
the acre. You Nlli see, as well as ]
did, which would be the profitable
corn to plant. hope 10 hear from
other farmers who have tried this cx-

CURE OF feoT-AND-mourn DISEASE


Mr.. Conrad Kruger. of Ellis county.
Kansas, writes the Kansas City Lire
Stock Indicator, under date of March
18th, telling how he has successfully
bafiied the dreaded and much-:alked-of
cattle disease, as follows:
Seeing in your columns much about
foot-and-mouth disease among cattle,
1 will give You my experience about
this disease and the treatment for it,
which may prove help TO some of my
fellow-cattlemcn. l have seen and
treated this disease twice in Germany,
and was, the last time, very successful
in saving every animal of the herd
had control of. The animals were val
liable dairy cows, and at the time the
disease made IFS appearance all of them
were kept in barn where they stood
in double rows of twenty head, eating
out Of Manager constructed Of brick
and well cemented. These managers
served for both feeding and watering,
and were kept scrupulously clean.
The first symptoms of the disease were
light fever, loss of appetite, and
swelling of the mouth, from which a
secretion of saliva was constantly run
ming TO the ground or into the Manager.
As fast as | was persuaded it was the
mouth disease / took paint brush
and after saturating il with the con-
tagious saliva. gave enough of it to
every one of the SO animals in the
barn to be sure they would all be af-
fected at the same time. Then l took
bucketful of pine tar and painted the
hoofs of all the cows thoroughly, being
very careful TO get il well into the
split, which is necessary TO prevent
the contagion getting hold on the
animals feet. This tar-painting was
repeated next day. The animals were
well provided With drinking water at
summer-day's temperature, in which
we put half a pound of glauber salts
for every COW drinking at the trough
per day and wheat bran enough TO
give it soup-like appearance. We
bedded the animals very clean and
fresh twice a day, and in two weeks
we were through with the disease, and
.Iad no losses, though all of them had
TO stop eating dry food on account Of
their tongues and at, being swoll-
en- terribly for few days. If the feet
are once affected wash with carbolic
acid and water is very good and heal
ing. think man does not need TO
lose single animal from foot-and-
mouth disease if he tries TO save it,"

HINTS ON GRATING.

A nurseryman says that in grating
il should be borne in mind that the
scions should be taken only from
healthy trees, as any diseased con-
,lition of the scions will convey this
unhealthfulness 10 the new growth,
which will actually affect the tree ever
after, even if il should not cause its
,.ventual destruction. The fruit graft
ed can only represent that of the par
eat tree, and when there is falling

Cruelty to AnimaIs.--on Thursday

Cruelty to Animals.--0n Thursday
last Frank Hemsly (colored, one of the resi-
dents Of this town, was arrested for cruelty
to his horse; tried by Justice Smoot and fined,
five dollars and costs This is first case of the
kind that has been brought to public notice
since the passage of the Act of $3.50, for the
prevention of cruelty to animals. HemsIy
owns an old broken down horse, and in one
of the animal 5 contrary moods it refused to
pull, whereupon Hemsly beat it numerically.
The charge was preferred against him by Mr.
