Discussion of the EesuUs. 

 Early Mastodon Dent Corn Fodder.- — This is a large grow- 

 ing yellow dent variety bred by C. S. Clark of Ohio. It is evi- 

 dently rather too late for the average Massachusetts season. At 

 the time of cutting (September 5-19) it was in the milk-to-dent- 

 ing stage, and could not be considered ripe enough to be cut 

 for the grain. It yielded about 20 tons to the acre of green 

 fodder which contained 28 per cent, of ears in dry matter.
