Improvement of Corn.

"Uncle Henry" Waliace,is deyoting a
good deal of space in his paper Wal
laces' Farmer to the Improvement of
Iowa Corn, He calls attention to the
fact that while the Iowa Farmer has
been improving his live stock for TWEEN
y years end more he has given very
little attention to the great Iowa crop,
corn. Among the many articles which
nave appeared in Wallace's Farmer on
this subject has been series by Prof.
Shamel, of Illinois, the corn expert,
and these are illustrated by number
Of photographs showing different va
rieties of corn, perfect and imperfect
ears, the most profitable to raise, etc.
The average Iowa farmer thinks he
knows as much about corn as anybody
does but we miss our guess if he can
not learn lot from these articles In
Wallsces' Farmer.
In this connection we wish to say
that Wallaces' Farmer is one of the
best agricultural papers that comes to
this office. 1t is handsomely printed on
paper of tine quality, filled with at
tract've illustrations, and IN addition
to Its regular features, its editorials by
"Uncle Henry" its departments Of
Dairying, Horticulture, the Hog and
Poultry, Its Home Department, for the
women; contains full reports of the
leading fairs, live stock shows. and
sales, agricultural meetings, etc. 1t is
published weekly at Des Moines, Iowa
at $1OO year, all subscriptions pay
able In advance and the paper stops
when the time is out. We can send
Wallaces' Farmer and the Democrat
both one year for only 2.25 and you get
one of our nice premiums. Apply at
the Democrat office,
