AH farmers nrc nwnrc thHt rlifTerml vnricfica of corn will mix, n it is colled, unit noma nttentinn it usunlly paid in jilfinting to present it where it would unfavorably affect a choice variety. Thin crowing, wherever it occurs, is caused by the fertilisation of tho pistils, the silk, of one variety by the pollen dis tributed from the tassels of another. At the Knnftns stntion for three seasons past careful experiments have been mado in the nrtitical pollination of corn. In J8N8, forty-one varieties were used; sixty s'x attempts at crass fertilization were n ado, ot which thirty-Dine were nieces fill. Asa practical summary of the remits, it is said that the numerous crosses of maize by artifical pollination were mostly successful, the different Taces, as dent, flint, soft, sweet and pop corn, with apparently equal resistance. The edicts of the crossing are in com paratively few cases (mostly sweet va rieties) visible tho first year. The sec ond year (the second generation) shows feudally ears more or less completely blended, often exactly intermediate be tween the two parental types; more rare ly the grains of a single ear are unlike each other, and each may resemble close ly or remotely either parent. The product of the third year is generally true to the feed planted ; by selecting diverse grains from any ear or from different years, cars are obtained with grains usually like those planted. Any desired form of a 'cross" cau therefore apparently be per pit'iated. In view of the above it is possible to t f i et desired points of improvement in varieties by crossing, and fixing or per fecting by subsequent selection. The experiments the past season were much reduced in value by reason of serious drouth. Favorable seasons will doubt less furnish more favorable or at least more conclusive results iu the efforts to improve varieties. RATIONAL COMN Ct't.TfllB. The uecessity for frequent stirring of the soil in a cornfield is paramount for itself alone. If no weed ever appeared there would still bo need for frequcDt cultivation. A few years ago I left ten rows through u cornfield unworked, while the rest of tho field was cultivated every week until the tassels npeared. The weeds in those ten rows were pulled by haud, and there were very few, for the groun I was a sod deeply plowed, and harrowed thoroughly up to tho time the corn was planted. The stalks in the ten rows were more than three lent shorter than those in the rest of the field, and there was scarcely n single car that was filled out to the end. The rest of the liuld, which was a few square yards over two aires, yielded one hundred and uiuo-ty-cight bushels of shelled corn, esti mating two bushels of cars for one of grain. The corn was husked by the bushel and measured twiiv, so that no mistake was made iu the measure. The ten tows made up txaetly one-fifth of an nrrc (thirty-two rods), and gave only eleven and a half bushels of corn. Kvcry thing else being equal, the difference, J'cing over forty bushels to the acre, was clearly due to the absence of cultivation, the ground being baked and dry tha greater part of tho time. Since thcu I left odc strip on the side of a field, measuring exactly an sere, without cither cultivation or weeding, and it yielded fourteen bushels of poor corn, the rest of the field yielding forty-two bushels of grain to the acre. In 1889 I had an eight-acre field that yielded enough to completely fill a five hundrcd-bushel crib, equal to over thirty bushels of shelled corn per acre, on a very poor old field that was newly broken up, and without mauure, but was cultivated eight times, while my h.ilf of a rentod four- acre field, worked only twice, amounted to one wagon load of ears, equal to twenty bushels of grain, and this small field was much better soil than the old field. My practice for many years has been to work the corn once a week, beginning on Slondny when the weather was suita ble, and continue the working as long as a horse can get through the rows without breaking the stalks and this is usually until the ears begin to hang out iu the rows and the cultiration has always been on tho surface. Some years ago a ncavy rain wasneu a slope on one ol my fields very badly, and exposed a tine net work of roots for several square rods, which completely filled the soil. Several of the plants were washed loose, and couH lie taken up with the roots. The roots of many plants were eight feet long, spreading over nearly three rows each way, and they lay very near the surface. In places roots were abundant at a depth of two inches, and very few were us deep down as tho land hud been plowed. More recent examinations, made pur posely, have convinced me that thin is the habit of the corn plant to scud out iU roots near tho surface. It may be that surface manuring with fertilizers tends to such a habit of root growth, but soluble fertilizers quickly diffuse them selves through the soil, and it mny be that the desire fur the buu's heat, which corn so much needs, brings these roots to the surface. It is cleur that a plant having such n superficial root growth should not be plowed, but requires only surface culti vation; for tho breaking of the roots must necessarily check the growth of the plants. I had ouce a plain demonstra tion of this fact. A field of Evergreen wect corn was partly plowed, contrary to my instructions, by a willful hired man, who laughed at iny shallow cultiva tion of the rest of the field. lie plowed it deeply uud ridged up tho rows until 1 discovered and stopped him. The weather was hot. The corn wilted at once and never grew afterward. Not one ear was gathered iroin the plowed rows, while the rest of the fluid averaged over eleven tuousuud tars per acre, rounted for the market. To break the feed:ng roots of a plant is clearly to stop its feeding, ami to turn all tho power of growth to repair the damage and make new roots; at a time, too, when oil the strength of the plants is required to form the blossom or tho graiu. Something has been said of the usefulness of root pruning corn. It is equivalent to draw ing a cow'i teeth when slie is busy turning good grans into milk and butter, mid equally prevents th gathering of nutri ment. It is practiced tor this special pur pose in fruit culture, for checking the growth of tiei'S to reduce the amount of new wood, and it has the suuie effect upou the com which we want to lui-tea to maturity u auou us possible, and to aid iu every way in eua'ilin-; it to y ither f oo I and iutrea-se its product.

It helps, too, very Much to apply fifty pounds per acre of some active soluble fertiliror immediately after the working of the soil at intervals through the summer, especially when the blossoms, the tassel, and the silk are about to appear, and when the grain it about to form after tho impregnation of the silk. These are periods in the life of plant when extra feeding will greatly assist in the performance of these repro ductive functions upon which full ears, and sound grain, and early tnatuiity de pend.

It is claimed by high authority, says the writer of an annual roport of a home for Inebriates, that physiology has iu no way settled the. qrcstinn between abstinence versus mo deration, iu regard to the use ot alcohol. But it is a mistake to suppose that nothing is settled on physiological ground about the use of intoxicating liquors. Within the last few years many inquiries, researches and experiments have oe-n made, with all the contrivances of modern science, more in tricate, perhaps, and moro important, cer tainly, in their bearings upou this inquiry than the world has seel, before, and the re sults, which are alrendy incontestable, aro net inconsiderable, and I believe it must be admitted that they give to the temperance, argument a sireugtli, ou physiological ground, which it has never been able to uso before. I have found it to be true, from my own observation, that tho imbibing of even small quantities of alcolio', or what is deemed a small quantity by the user, will degenerate the nerve and muscular tissues by hardening them, and interfere with the functions, de veloping disease, or reudoring accidental or rymotic dieaseas less likoly to be cured. .' course, with such interference with nerve structure the uieutal manifestations must be changed. The effect of this agent is always to strike at the higher faculties ut the mind. It batters the keen edge ot high seusibility, and the nmu is shorn of those high qualities which make him sensible to the duties ho owes to his family, liia country and his God. Science has also revealed to us another fact bearing UKn this subject. If science is still in doubt in the matter of total absti nence, it is clear and ositivo iu iu nftii ma lion that, beyond a certain degree a degree is yet unknown, and yet a degree which science has of late years lieen steadily show ing to be less and less what we call alco holic stimulant do not stimulate at all, but they paralyze the structure iu which tbey work. The liquor which has intoxicated tho man has simply paralyzed him, and every step of intoxicalioa is not merely a stop towards, but a stage of increasing nervous paralysis, a stage of what physiologists call devitalization of the nervous system. Iu other words, alcohol is an antithetic, and its constant use, in its secondary action, pro duces the condition I have before described, paralysis iu ils various stages. 1 only meutiou these facts U show that wo have to deal with a subtle disease, deep down In tli-- human structure, an I with a condi tion which, in spite ot law, will coutiuue tJ reproduce and perpettte itself.
