Experiments In Corn Culture

In a report on experiinents conducted at the Iowa station occurs the following: Oom of the Capital variety was grown 011 five acres of land manured with 163 loads of barnyard manure and on one acre adjoining this piece without inanure. In preparing both of these pieces of land in the spring a erop of winter rye was plowed vinder. Both fields were cultivated exactly the same during the entiru season. The unmanured acre yielded -J0.9 bushels of corn and the manured laud yielded 39.2 bushels per acre. Early Mastodon and mammoth Cuban cora grown on f all plowed land without manure yielded 71.2 and 82.5 bushels of corn per acre respectively. The large yield of these two varieties ou unmanured ground is believed to be partly due to early planting, as a drought set in in May. George W. Weed, the manager of the Torham poultry yards, considere the Bilver laced Wyandottes the best for general purposes.
