Triumph Sugj Mais—Maiz Para el uso de la mesa—SSelfdjs&orn fur Stfcfjgebraudj—Indiansk Korn. One Quart of Seed to 100 Yards of Row. Eight Quarts to the Acre. This is a native of North and South America, having been found in cultivation by the first European voya- gers. Modern researches in Peru and Mexico have given evidence that its culture extends far beyond any historic period. There is no foundation whatever for the statement, that Indian corn has been found in the wrappings of Egyptian mummies; such tales being pure fabrica- tions. Seeds of Wheat, Sorghum and Millet have been discovered, but it is doubtful if any such seed ever veg- etated. Indian Corn may be divided into six classes, viz: Pop —Zea Everta; Flint—Zea Indurata; Dent—Zea Iden- tata; Soft—Zea Anylaca; Sweet—Zea Saccharatum; Pod or Husk—Zea Vaginata; and each of these are subdi- vided according to shape of the ear, number of rows upon each ear, etc. Table Corn cannot be planted successfully at an earlier date than the ordinary field varieties; indeed it is more likely to decay under unfavorable soil con- ditions than the hardier field varieties. As a rule, Sugar Corn is not as vital as the field sorts, and therefore it is wise to plant almost a double number of grains in the hill as compared with Field Corn. When the Cherry is in bloom, hills for the short varieties of three and four feet in height, may be made three by three feet apart; for the intermediate varie- ties three by four feet; and for the tall varieties, four by four feet apart. In all cases allowing three stalks to stand to the hill. Repetitions of Corn planting should be made every two wee
