A large portion of the dissatisfac
tion which stimulates the drift ol
population from the country to the
cities has had its origin in the in
ferior comfort and convenience of the
average farm-house as compared with
the city dwelling. This inferiority has
been, and still is, mainly shown in the
matter of the water supply, heating,
lighting, toilet facilities and the kitch
en equipment. This was graphically
set forth by Professor John L. Coul
tcr, of the University of Minnesota, in
his address at the Minnesota Conser
viuion Congress, wherein he quotes
the comparison voiced by hundreds ot
larmers, in part, as follows:
"They have electric lights or gas in
the city we have the old oil lamp or
tallow candle. They have furnaces in
their houses, and when they get up in
the morning the house is warm and
pleasant we get up and find every
thing frozen and the house chilled.
They have hot and cold running water
and baths we must go out to the old
pump, or melt snow and ice, and take
our bath in the dish-pan or wash-tub.
They have toilet facilities and sewers
•we must go out in the cold of winter
to the snow-filled privy, and in summer
to the foul-smelling, unsanitary one."
Now, the disparity in comfort be
tween the average city dwelling and
the average country home has been
greater, of recent years, than it for
merly was. But this has been not so
much a matter of location, but of the
greater readiness of the city dweller
to adopt improvements as they have
appeared—a readiness exhibited, not
because the city man was brighter,
but because, in the centers of popula
tion, one becomes more quickly famil
iar with new things, and the spread of
improvements is hastened by exam
ples of their superiority quickly her
alded on every side. The fact of to
day is, that the owner ol many farm
homes, if not of every such home, can,
if he will, have all the comforts and
conveniences of the city dwelling, and
at little it' any greater cost. He can
havp electric lights, or gas. by the use
of any one of numerous inventions for
supplying isolated dwellings. Fie can
have a furnace, or what is infinitely
better, a hot-water heating plant, just
as readily as his city brother. (Tho
adaptability of the hot-water plant to
all sorts of situations, by the way,
Luxurious furniture will
not compensate for a defec
tive bathroom. We install
"^tattdiftflf modern bathroom

could not be better illustrated than by
the fact that each of the street cars
in the Twin Cities is independently
heated by such a plant). The pro
vision of "hot and cold running wa
ter," and of bathing facilities, is
brought within reach in the country
home by such a variety of appliances
in the way of elevated and basement
air-pressure tanks, "baby engines" and
pumps, as will surprise any one who
thinks that a farmhouse must longer
dispense with these. The matter of
sewers and drainage, with the toilet
facilities dependent thereon, is, in
some instances, more difficult to han
dle but an inspection of the work
necessary to drain many a private
home in St. Paul will satisfy the farm
er that it costs not a few city dwell
ers more to connect with a sewer than
It would to provide similar drainage
for his country home.
A great many farmers are already
awake to the fact that not the slight
est reason now exists why their homes
should not be equipped with all the
appliances for comfort to be found in
the city home. An illustration is
given, herewith, of a home recently
built by such a farmer, Mr. J. J.
Sprenger, at Zumbro Falls, Minn.
Worker Remembered
The ladies of the Synod church
presented Rev. J. N. Anderson with
$25.00 as a Christmas gift and the

given a purse of 20.00 as a slight
token of appreciaton of her faithful
work.
Miss Phyllis Coles was here from
Benson last Friday and Saturday
with one of the most artistic dis

Seed Corn Its Se
lection and Care.

It has been truly said that the edu
cation of the child begins with its
grandparents. So, too, with the de
velopment of seed-corn. Let us pre
pare to raise a bumper crop of corn, in
1912, by this fall setting aside, in some
isolated portion of our farm, half an
acre as a seed-plot. It should be dis
tant from any other fields devoted to
corn, that pollenization from such
fields may be avoided. It should be
plowed in the fall, and thoroughly
disced in the spring, to make a fine
seed-bed.
Seed corn, for planting in the spring
of 1911, must have been picked before
killing frosts in 1910, and stored where
it would be thoroughly dried, and stay
dry, and where the temperature would
not get below freezing, if one ex
pects to have vigorous seed.
Ear to Row Test.
Having selected, from the 1910
crop, thirty of forty of the best ears,
and tested them for germination,
plant the seed from each ear in a
row by itself. Label each row by
driving a small stake at the end, on
which has been written the number
of the row. Make all the rows of the
same length, and plant the same num
of kernels in each hill. This is
necessary in order that the results
may be comparable.
Give this plot good cultivation, and,
when the corn begins to tassel, go
through it once a day for at least a
week and pull out the tassels from all
weak and barren stalks. This will
prevent undesirable plants from shed
ding their pollen upon the silks of
other plants, and reproducing them
selves.
Harvesting.
When the corn is ripe, each row
should be cut and shocked separately,
and tied firmly, to prevent the shocks
from blowing down. When well field
cured, husk each shock separately and
weigh the product. The greater yield
of one ear over another will be sur
prising. Our breeding-plot yielded 65
bushels per acre in 1909, and the
yield from a single ear varied from
59% bushels to 70% bushels per acre.
Valued at 50 cents per bushel, the
yield of one year, expressed in dol
lars and cents is $29.75 per acre for
the lowest and $35.20 for the highest
yielding ear. A difference of $5.50 in
favor of the best. This all lay in the
seed as the land was equally fertile

Types of Corn for
Minnesota Conditions.
•J*
By Andrew Boss, Professor of
Agriculture, Minnesota Ex- *f
periment Station.
*r •$•
*.*
Corn, more than any other of our
farm crops, is localized as to variety
and type. There are only a few vari
eties, commercially known, that are
adapted to growth in Minnesota. With
a season of ninety days in the extreme
northern portion of the state and 115
days in the southern portion, it is not
possible to grow the large-eared vari
eties of the states farther south: nor
is it necessary that they be grown to
secure profitable yields. Quite as
large average yieids can be obtained
by growing some of the medium-sized
Dent varieties, that are practically
sure to mature every year.
In Northern Minnesota, the smaller
Dent varieties only will succeed, such
as Minnesota No. 23. White-Cap Yel
low Dent, Pride of the North Yellow
Dent, and a few varieties that have
not become commercially important.
The above named varieties produce
ears that will average seven to seven
and one-half inches in length, bin.
yield forty to fifty-five bushels per
acre where grown under favorable
conditions.
In Central Minnesota. Dent varieties
of a somewhat larger t\ pe are grown.
These include Northwestern Dent.

Mrs. Ed Sandbo has for her guest
ner sister Mrs Olaf Sandbo of Min
neapolis.
In all parts, and the cultivation was
exactly the same—five cultivations
and one hoeing.
Seed for 1912.
From the breeding-plot select thir«
ty or forty of the best ears, from the
highest-yielding rows, to plant in a
seed-plot in 1912, and the balance of
the corn grown on the plot can be
planted for the main crop. Before
planting it, however, each individual
ear should be carefully tested for
germination.
The accompanying cut shows clear
ly the apparatus^ used. The ear-rack
is made of 2x4's, crossed in the middle
by lx4-inch boards. This gives four
sections, 25 inches each way. Wires
are stretched on either side of the
frame, making 100 2%-inch spaces in
each section. The rack thus holds
400 ears. The numbers are written
on the frame, and begin with 0 and
run to 9.
Method of Testing.
The boxes are two inches deep and
twenty inches square, inside measure,
and are divided into 100 squares by
wire gauze. Place about one inch of
soil in the box, lay in the gauze, and
you are ready to begin the test.
Take an ear of corn, and with the
jack-knife remove ten kernels of corn
from the ear, taking each kernel from
a different part of the ear. Place the
kernels in square 0 in the box, and
the ear in square 0 in the rack, and so
on until the box is filled. Now cover
with about half an inch of soil, and
wet down thoroughly set away in a
moderately warm room, and examine
once each day to see whether the soil
is still moist. In four or five days the
corn should be up and the test count
ed out. Be careful and keep all ears
testing 100 per cent, separate from the
rest, for anything less than 100 per
cent will lower the stand.
Financial Gain Is Large.
The financial gain from sowing the
seed from the best ear from the breed
ing plot is shown to be $5.50 as com
pared with that from a poorer ear.
Taking this as a basis, on a 50-acre
field, then, the gain from the use of
the best ears exclusively would be
$275.
It does not require over 800 ears to
plant a 50-acre field, and 800 ears were
tested by us at a cost of $5.20, count
ing a man's time at 20 cents an hour,
and figuring on an annual deprecia
tion of 10 per cent, and allowing 10
per cent interest on the cost of the
apparatus. To effect this, the per
centage of increase in the yield, from
planting seed only from ears which
have tested 100 per cent, is demon
strated to afford a further gain of ap
proximately $56 making the total eas
ily realizable gain, on a 50-acre field
of corn, by the use of the breeding-plot
and single ear test, about $331 in ex
cess cf that achieved by ordinary
methods of planting.
Minnesota King, and in South Central
Minnesota, Minnesota No. 13 Yellow
Dent, and Rustler White Dent. The
two first named are comparatively
large-eared varieties, but with broad
and shallow kernels that mature early.
The standard varieties for Southern
Minnesota are Minnesota No. 13 Yel
low Dent, Early Murdock Yellow Dent
and Silver King or Wisconsin No. 7
White Dent. Except for specially-fa
vored localities, it is believed that the
Minnesota No. 13 is the most univer
sally adapted to general use. This va
riety produces ears averaging eight to
eight and one-half inches in length
and about six inches in circumference.
The kernels are deep and the cob ot
medium size. It has been especially de
veloped for heavy yield. Some strains
of this variety, developed in the ex
treme southern part of the state, are
slightly larger than the parent strain,
and yield even better. The yield of
Minnesota No. 13 corn in Central Min
nesota will average fifty-five to sixty
bushels per acre when the crop is
grown on good corn land and given
proper care. Yields of eighty-five
bushels per acre have been secured.
The other varieties mentioned meet
with favor in certain localities, and
are of approximately the same size.
It is not considered wise to attempt
to grow larger varieties in Minneso
ta. While the Learning, Reid's Yel
low Dent. Io«Ta Cold Mipe snd Iowa
Silver Mine will occasionally mature
in favorable seasons, with good care,
it is not safe to re'y on them for the
main crop of corn. It is far better to
secure a yield of forty-five to sixty
bushels every year than to secure sixty
to seventy bushels every other :-«ai\
Salvation Army Christmas

A Phenomenon.
A handy word much misused is
"phenomenon."' The London Globe
once heard a man explaining its mean
ing to a friend. He did it as follows:
"Now, if you see a cow in a medder,"
he said didactically, "that's not a phi
nomeena. It's a pretty auimal and
what not. hut it ain't a phinomeena.
And if you see a thistle in a medder
that ain't a phinomeena. Nor if you
see a lark in the medder that ain't a
phinomeena. It's a pretty bird and
what not, but it ain't a phinouieena.
But if you was to see that cow sitting
on that thistle and singing like that
lark that would be a pinomeena." His
friend said yes, he saw quite plainly
now.
Appropriate Decoration.
