 W. N. Scarff, the well-known nurseryman of New 

 Carlisle, Ohio, whose advertisements have made 

 their appearance in Gle\nin(^s for several years 

 in advance of each planting season, has informed 

 us of his latest acquisition of ten prize ears of corn. 

 These were purchased at the National Corn Show 

 held a few weeks back at Columbus, and Mr. Scarff 

 paid at the rate of 835.00 per ear— S350 for the ten. Of 

 course, Mr. .Scarff's object is to improve the strain 

 of seed corn he is selling throughout the world, and
