Seed of Corn 5000 years old.

From the Harrodsburg OKy) Sayings.
Three or four years since an Indian
mound in Arkansas was being excavated
when an earthen jar was found, hermetic-
ally sealed, that contained a small quantity
of grains OF Indian corn. Some of the
grains were the next year planted in Mis-
souri,, and several bushels raised On the
top of the mound from which the Jar was
dug out large tree four feet in diameter
was growing. and 1t is thought the corn
lay buried about 5000 years. Squire James
l.. Neal, one of our most prosperous and
progressive farmers sent and procured a
small quantity OF the corn paying over 2
cents a grain. This he planted last year.
but the yield was small on account Of the
drought. He saved enough, however. to get
in a good patch this year. He has used il
for roasting ears, and says il is the best
he ever had. The ears are not large. but
grow two to three on single stalk. He has
used it for roasting ears and says i, Is
the best he ever had. The ears are not
large but grow TWO TO three on a single
stalk The one thing peculiar about this
corn is its color, or rather colors On the
same cob are grains of different colors, and
in the row you can find an ear that is
white another blood red, one salmon col
ored, and another perfectly black.
