Tlie analysis of this variety of corn furnishes an additional illus- 

 tration of the influence of fitness and condition of soil on the compo- 

 sition of one and the same liind of crop, under similar climatical 

 conditions. The corn No. 2 contains nearly one-fifth or 20 per cent, 

 more fat and nitrogenous compounds — the most costly constituents — 

 than sample No. 1. A comparison of the above stated analytical 

 results, with the analyses of prominent varieties of corn raised 

 within the state, shows that as far as composition is concerned, the 

 Hampden Prolific Corn may be counted of equal value with our home 

 standard articles. For details I refer to an article "On Relative 

 Value of Several Prominent Varieties of Eastern, Western and 

 Southern Corn," published in the annual report of the Secretary of 

 the Massachusetts State Board of Agriculture for 1879, page 221

To manure ouv farm crops well, pays, as a rule, not less in regard 

 to the improvement in quality than in the increase of quantity.
