 200 ACRES. 

 This is a variety of eorn of leniarUaMc iliarai-teristics. It pro- 

 duced last year on the Eiiitomist Kxpeiini.ni laim eighty bushels to 

 the acre under exceedingly unfavorable cndif ions. '1 he land on which 

 it ixrew was of nietjium fertility only: the cut worms mowed it down, 

 until there was. at one time, an intention of iilowing it up. and. owing 

 to natural conditions which we could not control, it received but one 

 plowing. C'nrn that will produce eighty bushels to tie acvennder sucli 

 Conditions is exceptionally valuable. The length of the ears is I rom ten 

 to twelve inches, i lie circumierence is seven and a hall inches and some- 

 tiiii -s more: the cob is small and comjiletely covei eh witli tjr.Hin; the 

 fjrain will average a hall inch in dejith and same in w lot li. ami is un-

 I'lllZK" WHITE DENT is'an early variety that win niatnie any- 

 where within tlie corn belt, and to those who appreciate the value of 

 corn fodder, it recommends itself, as it produces a Inxaiiant growth of 

 stalk, many of which in our fields, were fifteen feet high. It is certainly 

 the best variety of corn that we have ever grown it seen grown, and 

 there is every indication that it contains an niiusnal percentageot jiro- 

 tein, and the"higlier the per centage of protein the more valuable the 

 corn. We have neversceii stock of all kinds thatwasfed almost exclu- 

 sively on corn, tloas well asoursti^cU has done upon ihe Epitomist lai m.
