broaches thu theory that n hcro two
curn'row-on one nulk the bottom ear,
iiMimlly tho smullerit, it the one to
plant. His armimont ia that tho top
car represents the riAtuntl product uf
lite sccu, and tuat all crown extra ia
tine to cultivation and tlicroloro ronro
aenting the oxtra productiveness. The
writer relates the tiiUowinpr oxnon
mcnt in illustration of hia idea :
'J took two ears from tbo same stalk
both (rood j top ear waa Si inches
long anil 9 inches, in circumtorciiee,
I no Dottom ear 7 incnoa long and
71 Inches in cirvumfiirencts l'luutwl
in separato rows ; work, oet., all tho
game. Tho produce of the ton ear
pretty much aa tho balance of tbo field
aomo stalks bavmp; two ears, cenor-
uv oniy ono, nut large nnd mil, mcas-
ring 111 and II Incbus iu lenith and
as much in circumforonco. The nro-
uce of the lower ear was.'everr stalk
bad two good oars, some three. Tho
ears were smaller than those frmn tho
top car ; 6, 7, 8, and aomo 9 inchos
lonif. 1 did not perfect tho oxnori-
ment by eathoriiiir and moaauriui.
However, 1 am satisfied that the pro
duct of tho bottom ear would exceed
that of tbo top car by one-fourth, if
not ono-tliira. Ibe enm, though not
largo, were mucn more numerous. An.
other thinir 1 noticed was that the til.
lorn or suckers wore mora prevalent
anu auuntiani irom tno Bottom car,
though both prodiicod suckers. Thoso
tillers, almost all of them. haoVshoots.
and aomo of them very decent ears of
corn. 1 am sutmned that tho plan ia
good, whom a stalk produce two cars,
to tnko the bottom oneforsocd; but
il tnroo pr tour cars are produeod, to
tako tbo bottom one would produce
very small oars and crainf
Tho experiment is inconclusive, from
the fact that tho product ot tho two
cars wore not accurately weighed in
stood ol being merely guessed at. Tho
writer "is salasticd" tbut tho small car
produced tho larger product, but even
this is a mntter of doubt. His theory
favoring this result possibly biasod bis
guess, ilo says tht ears produced
from the lurge car wore larger than
tbo othera but less numerous, Our
oxperienco is tbat one or two inches
itlercnco tn the length of an oar of
corn makes much ' dirTcrcnco in tho
product than ia gcnoral supposed,
und our impression has been that tbe
bettor way to increase tho yield of!
orn u to piunt tlnniy on rich soil, aim-
nir to produce one htrio car on uvurv
stalk ruthor than two small ones. Tho
long car system cortuiiily stivua a
great amount of labor iu husking, aud

DISEASES OF THE HORSE.

Even if no single fact has boon

nimity of belief by veterinarians of all
nations, in thu transmission of various
morbid tendencies, is surprising. Au

add to theso litcts, established by such,
weight of concurrent testimony, what
I havo before remarkod in general,
