EWING'S SELECTED ENSILAGE SEED CORNS 
It is evident that the variety 
has much to do with the profit 
resulting from the Siloing of 
Com. We mean by that that 
the weight of crop per acre 
regulates the cost per ton of the 
Ensilage, so that the varieties 
that will produce the most tons 
per acre, and at the same time 
are sure to ripen enough for 
the Silo before frost comes, are 
the most profitable. Location 
and time of sowing has to be 
taken into account. If not 
sown till w^U on in June, sow 
an early Flint Com in most 
sections of the Dominion. If 
sown middle of May, a taller 
and later sort would be most 
profitable. There are many 
varieties of Dent Corn that, 
even in the Province of Quebec, 
are certain to come to the right 
stage of maturity for Siloing, 
and that will produce from a 
quarter to a third more than 
the Flint varieties. 
One very important point to 
be observed in sowing Com is 
this, that the distance apart in 
rows or hills should be regu- 
lated by the height the variety 
naturally grows, and if 3 ft. or 
3H ft. apart is the proper dis- 
tance for a tall growing sort 
like Red Cob. a H foot less 
would be equalU right for. say, 
Sanford. Corapton, Longfellow, 
or most of the Sugar varieties. 
We would also recommend buyers, if they receive their Com early in spring, to spread it out and thus keep it in perfect condition till sowing time.

REID'S YELLOW DENT — If any seed grain can truly be called pedigreed, the 
Reid's Yellow Dent Field Com is certainly entitled to be known as such. It 
has been bred up and selected with painstaking care to what is at the present 
time the most popular and probably the best all around purpose yellow com 
grown in the United States. This Cora can tmly be called the "Universal 
Cora." _ Ear medium to size, remarkably uniform, and of a bright yellow color, 
with solid, deep grain and small red cob. Is well filled over the ends, and espe- 
cially the butt, leaving a small shank, which makes it a great favorite with 
huskers.
