30 The Bulletin. 



It should be kept clearly in mind that, with varieties of corn, selec- 

 tion should be made particularly with reference to total yield of 

 shelled corn and the characters which tend to give this and an im- 

 proved quality of grains. If it is to be used in feeding growing 

 animals, or to be ground into meal for human consumption, it should 

 be high in flesh and muscle-forming material (protein) ; if for fatten- 

 ing stock, high in fat, and if to manufacture whiskey, alcohol or 

 starch, high in starch, sugar, etc. (carbohydrates).
