We kept churning and turning the

one bushel in 10 minutes by the watch.

Soaring On Sweet Com Growing. 
A. D. Baker, Aubelius, N. Y.— On 
page 6 of TheR. N -Y., G. S. P., says that 
Mr. Drummond obtained $320 for eight 
acres of sweet corn last season, besides 
$10 worth of seed. We have a canning 
factory at Auburn that has been in opera¬ 
tion two seasons; the first season, the 
farmers received 50 cents per 100 pounds 
of husked ears, the farmer drawing the 
corn with the husks on. Fifty pounds 
are husked, the corn and husks weighed 
separately, and the load estimated by 
that. Some farmers reached as high as 
$30 per acre, but it averaged $12 besides 
the fodder. The past season they gave 
55 cents per 100 pounds, estimating the 
weight as before. They do not pay the 
farmer for his corn delivered in Septem¬ 
ber, until .January of the next year unless 
they discount his amount two per cent, 
or, in other words, they do business on 
the farmer’s money for three months.
