LANDRETHS cremate their Seeds— that 
is, they burn Seed Packets left over at end 
of season. All of Landreths' Packets are dated 
with ) ear of issue, and if not burned, the date 
will show that they are old. Do Commission 
Seedsmen burn their Seed ? No ! 
Which 13 most safe to purchase, Landreths' Seeds 
in dated bags, or Commission Seeds in bags NOT 
dated, anJ consequently of uncertain age, possibly 
old travelers and as dead as Julius Caesar ? 
The Cremation system should commend 
its(df to all who will eive it a moment's thought.

MEASUREMENT OF CORN IN THE CRIB. 
After levclin<T the Corn, multiply the len.nlh and breadth of the house together, and the product bv the depth, whiidi will give the cubic feet of the bulk 
of Corn ; then divide this la^l iir.'ducL by 12, and the quotient will be the number of barrels of shelled Corn contained in the house or crib. 11' there be a 
remainder alter the di\isioii, it will be so many twelfths of a barrel of shelled Corn over. 
Example.— 12 feet long 
11 feet broad 
jl/morrmrfa.— 21,500 cubic inches will contain ten birshels of shelled 
^ \ feet deep Corn, but the same space filled with corn in the ear will shell out rather more 
than live bushels. These 21,500 cubic inches contain 12 cubic feet and 704
