1t has been the practice for genera
tons with careful farmers in Smelling
seed corn, to reject the grain from the
tips and butts Of the ears. The idea
has been prevalent that these grains be-
ing smaller and defectiyein shape, have
not the vitality to produce strong and
productive stalks. There is plausible
ity IN the theory. And yet actual dem
onstratiop has proven that the theory
and practice were erroneous. Innovators
upon the old notions Of the fathers, OF
late, are plenty. We notice IL the pa
pers and books that careful practical
tests have demonstrated that those re-
lected defective grains are the very best
for seed. Experimental stations and
agricultural colleges have confirmed
this fact. DIR. Sturdevant was the first,
probably, who was bold enough to pub
icly combat the hoary theory. And
after careful investigation Prof. Blount,
of the Colorado Agricultural Expert
mental Station, perfectly agrees with
Or. Sturdevant. He says, in 1874,
he had sold more of bis White
Prolific corn than he should have done
and was compelled to plant for his own
purposes the screenings that passed
through No. 4 sieve. He was surpris-
ed on gathering his two crops-one from
nice selected seeds, the other from
screenings to find the best yield from
the latter. His experience since then
shows that the tip kernels have more
vitality than the others from having
been more perfectly fertiized at the
time the pollen falls upon the silk.

not all have new houses with all the mod

make our old ones more convenient for

let us do SO. The making of the house

days in it should be part of our every

The public should note the fact that
the only proprietary medicine on earth
that ever received the supreme award
OF Gold Medal at the great international

EXCITEMENT UNABATED.
That Remarkable Experience of a
Rochester Physician Fully
Authenticated.

Cleveland, o., Herald
Yesterday and the day before we
copied in om columns from the
Rochester, n. V, Democrat and
Chronicle, a remarkable statement
made by j. B. Henion, M. d., a gen
tleman who is well known in this
city. Inthat article DR.. Henion re-
countedawonderful experience which
befell him, and the next day we pub
lished from the same paper a second
article, giving an account of the eek
element in Rochester," caused by
DR.. Henion's statement. 1t is doubt
full if any two articles were ever pub
lished which caused greater commo-
ton both among professional people
and laymen.
Since the publication of these two
articles, having been beseiged by let
tiers of inquiry, we sent commune
cation to DIR. Henion and also one to
H. H. Warner & Co., asking if any
additional proof could be given to us
as to the validity of the statements
published. In answer thereto we
have received the following letters,
which add interest to the entire sub
ject and verify every statement hith-
ertO made:

To the Editor Of the Lining Church,
Chicago Ill.,:
There was published in the Roches-
ter Democrat and Chronicle of the 31st
of December, a statement made by j.
B. Henion, M. D., narrating how he
had been cured n Bright's disease of
the kidneys, almost in the last stages,
by the use of Warmers Safe Cure. l
was referred to in that statement, as
having recommended and urged DR..
Henion to try the remedy, which he
did and was cured. The statement
of DIR. Henion is true, so far as it con-
Germs myself, and l believe it to be
true in all other respects. He was a
parishioner of mine, and | visited
him in his sickness. l urged him to
take the medicine and would do the
same again to any one who was
troubled with a disease of the kidney
and liver. ISRAEL FOOTE, DID.
