MALCOLM KHAN, the ex-Persian am
bassador to England, who was recently
deprived by the shah of his title and
honors, has written letter to the Lon
don Times, in h;ch he declares that he
never received any thing but the highest
expressions of esteem, fattery and ven
Grafton from the shah and his ministers.
Malcolm Khan then refers to the des-
potism of Persia and says that it is a
fact that the highest ministers of Per-
sia, while believing that they possessed
the confidence of the sovereign, often
perished suddenly and ignobly. He
further declares that when he publishes
his correspondence which has taken
place between himself and the shah and
the Persian government even his NAL
colin Khan'sl enemies will recognize
that his only fault has been that he has
tried perhaps too courageously to mod
ify the peculiar regime which has too
often darkened the history of the pres
ent administration.

ILLINOIS STATE NEWS.
We. chit of Corn.

A bulletin has recently been issued
by Prof. G. E. Morrow, of the uni
versity of Illinois experimental station,
in which are found the following facts
regarding the weight of corn:
Several inquiries have been made as to the
number of pounds of ear corn required to
make busbel of shelled corn at different
seasons of the year, the implications or di-
rect statement being that the common prac'
tice of requiring 20 pounds is, this season,
moro to the interest of the buyer than to
the seller The percentage of water
in corn in central Illinois, when husked
in the autumn of 1890, was considera-
bly, less than in the year immediate
" preceding. We have found 10 pounds
for the early, 70 for the medium and IS for
the late- maturing varieties tested in this
station sufficient to produce bushel or
air~Siry corn at the last of October. tests
have been made February IA, 1891, in which
trifle over 65 pounds of Murdock, an early
maturing variety, 66l2 pounds of Leaning,
less than 81 pounds of Burr's white, and a
little over Sc pounds of mixed varieties OF
yellow dust made bushel of shelled corn.
The ears were not especially selected. The
corn was taken from the crib in three cases
and from shocked corn in the fourth
Probably little more would be
required if large quantities of either
variety tested were shelled by large power
shelters. The indications are that 20 pounds
is more than is necessary to make bushel
of shelled corn this season in central Illi-
nois When thoroughly air dry II pounds of
cob per bushel, or 69 pounds of good ear corn
for 56 pounds of good shelled corn, would
seem maximum for any variety suitable TO
be grown in this latitude. When the ears
have been carefully selected, as in selecting
corn for seed, less than this should be suffi-
cient. When delivered to the buyer in the
ear there are often many partly shelled ears,
inferior ears, dirt, etc. No fixed rule can be
given for determining the proper weight OF
ear corn for a bushel of shelled corn after
husking The percentage of moisture i'll both
cob and kernel varies greatly in different
seasons and in different varieties"
