The Biggest Corn.

Judge T. N. Reeves brought us four oars of the Long John and Lemiug varieties. Of the former the best ear contains 1,134 grains, while of the other the ears are fully eleven inches in length and beautifully filled to the end of the cob. The Long John is a white corn nnd the Leming a yellow corn. On eight acres of the white corn bo gathered 504 bushels, or sixty-three bushels to the acre. He has thirty-eight acres in com this year, all of which made a fine yield, averaging over forty bushels to the aere. Judge Reeves’ farm is on the head of Little Bourboise, what is known os mixed ridge and valley land.—[Hteelville (Mo.) Mirror.
