Ash and Oil in Corn

Some recent Investigations at the
illinois station show that there is a
somewhat constant relation between
the amount Of ash in the corn kernel
and the oil. That is, that while the
proportion of oil in the germ is very
large the proportion of ash is also
very large. Thus in the hominy glu-
ten the proportion of oil and ash are
quite large.
Thus in one sample of corn analysed
lib per cent Of all the oil was found
in the horny gluten and 796 of all
the ash. In the germ of the same
sample was found 1899 per cent of all
the oil and 74.S7 per cent of all the
ash. In another sample 1929 per cent
of all the oil was in the horny gluten
and 13.49 per cent of all the ash. In
the germ of tn. same sample
was S0.46 per cent Of all the oil and
69.46 per cent Of all the ash. Thus the
germ and the horny gluten contain
more than three-fourths of all the oil
and ash in the corn kernel. The germ
alone contains about four-fifths of all
the oil and two-thirds of all the ash,
though the germ is only one-tenth of
the whole kernel.

G2agass4.,II
AGRlCUETURF
Destroying Canada ThistIes.

Whatever will effectually exclude
the plant from the light and air will
destroy it. This may be done by plow-
ing. in some soil. and in others by a
close grass sod, Flowing. if repeated
frequently in soils where the root does
not descend beyond the reach OF the
p!owing. will, in dry seasons, always
destroy the thistle. and often in moist
ones. In soils which are light, deep.
rich, friable, and, of course, permeable
10 the air and are in some measure
always moist, plowing will always fail.
Wherever dense sod can be formed,
the thistle may be destroyed by seed-
ing. The grasses, wherever they are
adapted to the purpose. will be found
the easiest means of destruction, al
though not SO rapid as plowing, hoe
ing, sailing or burning, where these
latter are available.
In all uplands, where the soil is Of
a depth admitting the root to be
reached and affected in its whole ex-
tent by the plow, hoe, fire or salt, the
thistle may be destroyed by these
means, and they will be found the
most rapid ones. In all bottom lands
where the root descends deep and the
SOIL permits access OF air, neither the
plow, hoe, fire nor salt will destroy
the thistle; here the grasses should
be applied, and will be found the best
destroyers. Moving will destroy those
parts OF the thistle which have thrown
up Towering stalks and will not in
the least affect those which have not.
Moving should take place when the
plant is in bloom.
Whatever limits the thorough ap-
plication Of the means OF struction
will proportionally diminish success.
Hence it will be found difficult in
very stony grounds ever to eradicate
the thistle; the plow cannot effectually
reach its roots and such ground Is
rarely good grass bearer. Salt and
sheep, with the scythe, will be found
best for stony grounds. In grounds
filled with stumps, where the soil is
rich and will grow dense sod, the
grass will be best, and in such the
plow should not be used, as it will not
enectually reach all the roots. Fences
that obstruct the application of the
plow or hoe should be removed. II 1t
be desirable to destroy the thistle by
the grasses it will be found best to
make the land rich by manure This
will force the grass and enable it more
readily, by vigorous growth, to kill the
plant. And in the application of all
remedies care should be taken to re-
duce the soil by proper cultivation to
a fine tilth, that all the seeds of the
thistle in the ground may germinate
and not lie dormant. The seed is very
hardy, and escapes all the ordinary
means Of destruction, except fire.
Ambrose Stevens.
