LONGFELLOW CORN. 



Another experiment with corn, viz.: — On one and one- 

 half acres there was six cords stable manure ploughed in. 

 On one-quarter acre was planted Longfellow corn : and after 

 planting, had nine bush, ashes sprinkled over the hills ; pro- 

 duced thirty bushels corn. Another one-quarter acre 

 planted ; the same seed, with nine bushels ashes applied 

 around the hills before hoeing, produced thirty-one bushels. 

 Another one-quarter acre without ashes, produced twenty- 

 nine bushels. 



MILLIKIN's prize CORN. 



One-quarter acre, with nine bushels ashes applied at 

 planting, produced thirty-four bushels. Another one-quarter 

 acre with nine bushels ashes applied at hoeing time, pro- 

 duced thirty-one bushels. Anotlier one-quarter acre, with- 

 out ashes, produced thirty bushels. 



One bushel of ashes was applied to one square rod of 

 vacant land where moss had come in ; and before haying, 

 you could notice the difference some way ofl". 



Yours Respectfully,

IN MEMORIAM. 



REMARKS BY HON. GEORGE B. LORING. 



Mr. President : 



It has long been a proper and sacred custom of this 

 Society to remember at its annual meeting, those who, dur- 

 ing the year, have left us and have gone to their reward. 

 When the older members of our body pass away, we feel 

 that the laws of nature are all fulfilled, that the harvest is 

 ended, that they are gathered in like " a shock of corn fully
