Mexican June Corn.

Mr.. EDIToR.-Knowing that some
of your readers will be pleased to
learn something of the now famous
Mexican June corn I ask for space
to answer such questions as are usual
ly p~ropounded.
Mexican June corn was, it is said,
originally much mixed with black or
blue grains but is now almost a white
corn owing to selection in part, and
to naturalization in part.
1t should be planted during the
month of June and should be cultiva-
ted as other corn. Naturally it grows
very tall and if planted very early is
accused of "going all to stalk
Planted last year June rs to ~,
made better corr than much of the
early kinds. 1t resists drouth almost
as well as sorghum. 1t is the equal
of any corn for feeding purposes and
is a good bread corn. 1t is often
grown on lands as second crop follow
ing oats or wheat.

A Start on the New Railroad.

The CoIfax Chronicle of last week
saws that work is to commence on
the G. l.. & G. N. railroad next
Monday, when the first dirt is to be
thrown and a large force of men and
teams put to work grading the first
ten miles. A force of twenty-four
colored men started in last Wednes-
day clearing timber from the right OF
way, and by Monday they are ex-
pected to have two miles cleared OF
all timber and underground.
The Alexandria Town Talk says:
Scott Kay, of that city, will make 9
contract this week with w. B. Miller.
of Los Angeles, Cal. to take a por-
ton of the grading of the Gulf
! Louisiana & Great Northern Railway.
Mr.. Miller has contracted to grade
five miles of the road, near Pineville
and will sublet the entire five miles
Mr.. Kay expects to have teams ane
men ready to start to work on mex
Monday. He would have been read.
to start this week, but his teams hav
been running in a pasture and WI
have to be taken up and fed few day
before going to hard work. 1t look
very much as if Mr.. Kay will hay
the honor OF throwing the first dirt
the building of this great north an
south road, which will eventually b
!, a direct line, under one management
from St. Paul, Mimi, to the Gull
We hope MI Kay will get the work 6
expected, if so, his starting the buile
ing of this road will be no empt
honor.

popular with the masses must feel
badly when they read such express
sions as this coming from q Republi-

correspondent OF the Chicago Record,
writing from Kansas, says:
stBryan is as popular as he ever
was. He has a tremendous hold upon
the people, and the democrats viii
sead a delegation to the convention
for him, no matter what happens. He
is an ideal, and can make his own
platform. They will swear to any
thing he says-I mean the democrats,
not the populists, although there is
likely to be a fusion of the two par
ties in opposition to the republicans,
not for love, but for policy. Neither
has a ghost of a show alone, but il
they combine on candidates they may
