! position of the kernels on the ears
and that he had been surprised that
/ the kernels taken from the tips
! the butt and from the center of the
same ear, had invariably resulted in
producing a nubbin, and small stalk
The butt kernel had produced q
rough and irregular, short ear, but q
larger stalk, while the center kernel
had produced a large stalk, and a
large well filled ear. This experiment
was conducted with some forty OF
fifty ears, and gwen careful attention
with the result, which was apparent
TO all, that in buying seed corn it
should be purchased on the ear, and
the tips and butt kernels thrown
away, and only the center kernels, or
those which are perfect in form, with
plump germs, used for planting.
Another interesting experiment
should be planted in ordinary seasons,
by the tenth of May. The corn ex-
hibited was planted at that time, and
was ripe and ready to cut the 25th
of August. Mr.. Haight stated that
there were certain periods of growth
in the life of the corn plant, and seed
planted too late to take advantage of
these seasons of growth could not
mature seed, in average years. In
his locality the usual weather condi-
tons were such that they produced
great leaf growth the latter part of
May and early June. In July the
leaves were gathering the food from
which to produce the ear in August,
and if they did not attain the proper
size in June, they could not contain
the necessary amount of food in July
to produce the seed in August Seed
planted the first of June might ma
ture good crop, with a long, late
fall, but it would not be as good as
the seed planted three weeks earlier,
which would mature from four to six
weeks sooner than that planted three
weeks later. Corn planted the first
of July would make a growth, put
out tasSel, and produce silk, but
only a nubbin, if any grain, would
grow. Seed planted the first of Aug
ust would produce smaller stalk, but
have tassel, and the appearance of
an ear, but no grain. Seed planted
viz NOV VI A1N vi WCIt
no killing frosts) would produce a
miniature plant, and it would tassel
out in thirty days, but would not have
any appearance of an ear. The same
seed, and the same ground, would
produce these widely different results,
and indicated that early planting was
essential.
This year a late frost killed many
plants in this field of corn, and one
remarkable thing noticed was that in
the same hills there would be one
or two plants absolutely untouched.
while one or two plants were killed.
Working from these plants, which
seemed to have some frost-resisting
characteristics, Mr.. Haight is now
endeavoring to develop a variety of
corn which will endure a light frost,
and will make early planting much
safer.

The long woods have been found to
thrive i'm regions of excessive rainfall,
the long wool carrying the water off
the body as the close fleece will not
do. Lambs of the long wooded breeds
do not mature SO rapidly nor fatten so
young as those of other mutton
breeds. On some farms the total
weight of the lambs produced by
these sheep will be greater in proper
ton to the land used for the flock
than from the smaller breeds, but ex-
ira weight in lambs beyond 95 pounds
usually lowers the price on the mar
llet. The profit from an animal is
determined no less by the cost of rails
ing than by what it sells for, and both
these things must be taken into ac-
count in deciding what class of sheep
TO raise. The long woods are favored
by only a small proportion of farmers
who raise lambs for market.
