Corn.

Corn is plant that is exceedingly
amenab.e to culture. A farmer may
very easily improve his seed corn by q
little care in selection and some in Gull
tivation. The great loss in growing
corn is in the production of barren
stalks, male plants. which Yield no
fruit The ear is the fruit and is pro-
duced only by perfect plants which are
bi-sexual or male and female both. or.
as may be more correctly said, stami-
nate and pistillate. A stalk with .
tassel only and no ear 10 barren and
fruitless. Such stalks by impregnat-
ing the perfect plants propagate Their
own kind. and 80 tend to reduce the
yield Of the crop. This is to be pre-
vented by growing or breeding seed
from perfect plants only and. by re-
moving every stalk which has NO ear
from the neighborhood Of the seed
plants. BY persistence IN this mode Of
breeding corn has been improved from
. yield Of forty bushels mp to eighty or
even $50 bushels per acre. A seed plot
should be cultivated on every farm for

READING FOR THE YOUNG.
WHAT WE CALL THE BABY,

What do we call the baby?
Well. sometimes when In glee
The laughing. boiSIerous darling
Comes sturdily in to me
With gust of shouting and kisses
From red lips merry and arch.
And n riotous breezy buster
Why then we call him-March!
But when in the midst of a frolic.
At the mood of some passing within.
The dear mouth trembles and quiycrh
The brave brown eyes grow dim,
And sudden rain Of passion
Sweeps over the sunny face,
We call the baby-April
For his petulant, witching grace.
Then as he wakes, and rises
Flushed from his slumbcr deep,
The swift breath balmy aud precious
With the sweet crushed rose of sleep,
When the glow and the bloom OF morning
Meet in his glance ut play
Like the dawn of an infinite promise,
We call the baby-May.
But when as the evening closes
He Destles in warm embrace,
The languor of rest approaching
On the beautiful drowsy face;
Because he is sweetest and rarest
With all exquisite things in tune,
Because he is richest and fairest,
We call the baby-June.
And if you should ask the household
Under what name they sing
The loudest praise of their darling,
Hailing him chief and king
They laugh at the foolish question,
And answer with fire and flame,
That whatever you called the baby,
They loved him just the same!

Nothing seems easier than to put an
advertisement in the paper, but moth
ing is moro difficult than to put the
thing advertised into the public mind.
There are advertisements and adver-
tisements-those which are read by the
eye and forgotten. and those which are
seized hold of by the mind. The pages
of certain journals are looked upon by
! certain class of advertisers as q deep
pool ID contemplated by a crafty fisher
man-as place to display his cunning
fly or bait, peculiarly adapted to the
prey he seeks. There are scores Of
anglers who drop their lines in the
form of an advertisement and sit quiet
" by until bite comes, and they have
not to wait long. for nothing is too
strong for the credulity of mank nd.
Some little time ago there appeared an
advertisement in weekly journal in
which the writer affected to make an
offer to the reader. which he assumed
no one would answer. simply on ac-
count Of incredulity. His proposition
was made IS test to show if there
was any faith left IN mankind. He
didn't expect any reply. but he simply
made the experiment The offer was
to the effect that if any of the readers
would send him five three-cent stamps
he would return them q present suita-
