Near Stockholm, Sweden, a farmer and hia father before him have aucceisa fully cultivated tobacco upon the same few ucrca of land lor nearly lifty years. Lime ia a purifier and should he used often us a wash for coops, perches and not boxes. Sprinkle the place nioct frequented by them with air slacked lime. Farmers can improve their corn by growing need-corn in a patch by itself, where tpccial attention hIiiiII be given to the matter of fertilization. Now is the time to mature plans for next year's planting. If poulterers would believe how f uc culcnt and valuable potatoes, cabbage, turnips and carrots are when cooked and mixed with meal, and fed while warm to the fowl, they would make ample provision for them in winter. An utithority says that flight eleva tions are a safer place for the grape than bottom lands. Why? Thecarly and the late frosts always tcck the low lands, but arc not so apt to lie along tho lower clcvatton of mountain sides.

Indian corn evidently originated in America. If it had been included among the productions created before nu n iind animals were mado it would have continued to be produced in Asia and would have spread far and wide in Asia, Europe and Africa. Maize or Indiancorn has been found in ancient Peruvian tombs, and also under similar circumstances in Mex ico, New Mexico and Arizona. The Indians taught the Plymouth colony in Massachusetts how to plant and cultivate corn, and how to manure with fish, without which they said it would come to nothing. Indian corn was the chief reliance of the early settlers in New England for bread, other grains often failing there. The colonial records of Connecticut make mention of a petition of one Edward llinman, made in 1417, pray ing for liberty and commission to make molasses of Indian cornstalks in the county of Fairfield, and the As sembly granted him the monopoly for ten years, "always provided that the Baid llinman make na giant molasses, and aa cheap, as comes from the West Indies." The sweetness of tho atalks of sowed coin was noticed by early writ ers, and it was sown lor fodder by the colonists quite early in our his toiy. lr. Sturtevant has collections of more than 300 kinds of Indian corn. The varieties ditler from each other vastly more than do those of any other cereal. The height of corn growing in the field varies from thrte to twen ty-six fett, according to soil ami cli mate, and cultivation. Morelet tells of corn in Central America twenty one to twenty-four feit high, mid John Thomas tells of it in the West Italics thirty feet high. Sonic com lias but eight rows, other corn has from thii ty-six to forty rows; always even rows, never odd numbers. The Cu.co corn gives 3110 grains to the pound, the smallest jopcorn oOOO kernels to the pound. The color of coru ranges through white, yellow, lemon, red, pink, orange, amber, purple, striped, sjuittcd, black and combinations of all these. Of the eleven SUtes that make the bulk of the corn crop of the United States, neven of them reported the best yield per acre over 100 bushels in 1S7U ; two of . them reported 125 bush els j?r acre as the best yield. The legal weight of shelled corn in nearly all of the States is 5fi pounds to the bushel ; California 52, North Car olina 54. New York 58 ; weight of corn in the ear to the bushel, usually 70 pounds, in Indiana 63.
