THE FORUM. With the March number
The Forum began its sixth year and its e.
leventh volume. The demand for bound
volumes is so large as to warrant repub-
lication of all the back numbers to Gate.
The Forum, therefore, has given its sub
scribers an opportunity to secure complete
files Of bound volumes, four half volumes
or two volumes TO the year, without in
crease OF price for the numbers that were
out Of print 1t is possible, therefore, now
for complete file OF The Forum to be Sc
cureda particularly fortunate circum-
stance for subscribers, because The Forum
is probably the only high-grade periodical
that has been long established of which
complete sets Of back numbers can be pro-
cured, il at ALL at less than a prohibitory

To circumvent his stubboiness. His gem
eral health, however, when he can be in

though he Is subject to the strangest hal
fluctuations. Afew weeks ago he was
possessed BY the idea that the carpets in
his apartments were made of thin glass,
and that II wa dangerous to tread on
them, and he was not satisfied until they
had all been taken up. Another Of his
haIlucinations is that the walls of his
apartments are hung with newspapers,
and lie will sometimes occupy himself for
hours ii sitting IN front OF the walls Of
his room and reading out aloud what he

THE FARM AND GARDEN.
CROSSING OF corn.

A1i farmers are aware that different
@~ssseties of corn will mix, as it is called,
IA some attention is usually paid ii
Slantiug to prevent it where it would
s,afsvorablY affect a choice variety. This
eYosying, wherever it occurs, is caused
S. The fertilization of the pistils, the
xk. III one variety by the pollen dis
vibuted from the tassels of another.
4 Az tic Kansas station for three seasons
IN careful experiments have been made
81 she artificial pollination of corn. In
1893. fortg-one varieties were used;
Nsxtgssix attempts at cross fertilization
WsIs made, of which thirty-nine were
nccessfnl. As a practical summary of
she results, it is said that the numerous
crosses Of maize by artificial pollination
we're mostly successful, the different
nsces. as dent, flint, soft, sweet and pop
corn with apparently equal resistance.
The effects Of the crossing are in COM
pSratiYely few cases (mostly sweet va
~ristaesl visible the first year. The sec
old rear THE second generation) shows
generally ears more or less completely
blended, often exactly intermediate be-
tween the two parental types; more rare
II the grains of q single ear are unlike.
each other, and each may resemble close
II or remotely either parent. The product
d the third year is generally true to the
d planted; by selecting diverse grains
from any ear or from different years,
ears ale obtained with grains usually like
Ebose planted. Any desired form of a
erossp can therefore apparently be per-
petuated.
In view Of the above it is possible to
eject desired points Of improvement in
varieties by crossing, and fixing or per-
ecting by subsequent selection. The
experiments the past season were much
reduced in value by reason of serious
drouth. Favorable seasons will doubt
lsss furnish more favorable or at least
more conclusive results in the efforts to
improve varieties.

Cats ard Dogs in Human Attire.

The latest fad is the costuming Of
household pets. This comes from Paris,
where there is a shop for the sale Of
feline and canine wardrobes. A little
dog caused a sensation on Fifth avenue
New York City. a few days ago. He
seemed to be much ashamed of himself,
and when he saw any of his kind he
would give an explanatory whine and
shake himself, as if to saythat it was not
his fault if he looked like an idiot. No
wonder he was unhappy, for he was ar.
rayed in a sailor suit Of blue flannel,
with a wide sailor collar, embroidered
with anchors, and a white tie. A saucy
little sailor hat contributed further to
his misery. In wet weather this delicate
