Kinds of Corn to Raise.
The Iowa Agricultural College at
ames gives the following list Of varie-
ties Of corn for the State:
Reds Yellow Dent, average length
o to 10 inches, average circumference
Z to 735 inches, average time to ma
ture 12O days; Leaning, average
length 8 to 10 inches, average circum-
ference Z to ~ inches, average time
to mature 125 to 12s days; Iowa God
Mine, average length 71a to SA inches,
average circumference 6A to ~
inches, average time to mature 125
days; Legal Tender. average length
on to 1OH inches, average circum-
ference to 8 inches, average time to
mature 125 days; Boone County. White,
average length 8 to 10 inches, average
circumference ~ inches, average
time to mature 130 days; Silver Mine,
average length 81 to 915 inches, aver
age circumference to ~ inches,
average time to mature 120 days;
Calico corn, average length 8 to 10
inches, average circumference to IN
inches, average time to mature 115
days.
These are the varieties that are gen.
orally grown in the State, although
there are several other varieties in
different localities in the State receiv-
ing favorable mention. Among the
earliest Of these are Longfellow's Vel
low Dent, Farmers Reliance, Pride Of
the North, and Minnesota No. 13; and
among the later varieties, Mills County
Prize. St Charles White, Browns
Choice, Iowa Chopper, Iowa King, etc.
In our judgment the Boone County
White Legal Tender, Leaning, and
Mills County Prize are better adapted
to the southern part Of the State, say
as far north as the Rock Island Rail-
road. Here again elevation must de-
termine. The higher divides south. Of
the Rock Island will not grow as early
a corn as some Of the river bottoms
north of the Rock Island. The Gold
Mine, Reid's Yellow Dent, Silver Mine,
and Browns Choice will do we'll in
the territory between the Rock Island
main line and the main line of the
Illinois Central, while the earlier va
rieties are to be preferred north of that
line and in the corresponding latitude
east and west

How to Keen Milk Cool.


A good milk cooler on the gallery or
ure during tho summer to every house
wife. 1t is 50 hard to keep milk at
a low temperature during our hot sum-
mer weather. 1t is hot from o'clock
in the morning until 6 in the evening.
There is no place about the house
that Is cool enough unless we have a
cooler.
Water tends to keep everything cool
50 long as it evaporates. Wrapping
milk vessels in porous wet cloths will
temper the hot air. The Mex1cans cool
all their drinking water in this way.
A number Of devices have been pat
ented for keeping milk cool and are
sold to people who cannot use ice in
cooling milk while it is creaming.
Milk must be kept at 60 or 20 degrees
to cream well. Every housewife who
troubles with milk during the sum-
mer and makes butter Of any sort
would do well to use one of these milk
cooling devices unless a hand sep
arator is kept which creams the milk
while it is hot and fresh.
For a Swampy Place In the Yard.
Many yards and lawns have low,
wet or moist places, which 1t does not
pay to drain, and in which ordinary
plants will not grow. Such persons
are to be envied. as they can have a
class Of flowers which are denied in
their best form to others. For the wet
SPOT use the japanese and German iris
Montbretias, Heucheria Sanguinea,
Caladiums and Flags. The soil can
be well enriched by working in we'll
rotted manure and leaf-mould. They
can be protected over winter by put
ting on brush first and covering 1t witl
straw.

Cabbage Rot May Come from Seed
Black rot has been very destructive
upon cabbage and caulifower in New
York State, and any means of relief,
even slight, will be welcomed by grow
ers. Recent investigation by the sta
ton at Geneva have proven that the
germs Of the disease may be carried
over winter on the dry seed, fact pre-
viously doubted by scientists, and that
these germs may produce the disease
when inoculated into healthy plants.
1t is, therefore, a wise precaution to
disinfect the cabbage seed, as remov-
ing one possible source of infection.
This can be done very cheaply, easily
and safely, by soaking the seed for
fifteen minutes in corrosive sublimats
solution, one to one thousand strength.

Early Peas


The first crop usually planted in the
farm garden is one of the earliest va
rieties Of peas. On account of the
hardness of the plant no amount Of
cold weather will do much injury af-
ter the peas are once up, but when
planted extremely early part of the
seed will rot in the ground, causing
many gaps in the row. Early in the
season usually there is little nitrogen
in the soil and the plants grow very
slowly at first. A little nitrate Of soda
applied in the row at the time Of SOW
ing will hurry the growth Of peas.
The market value of the crop depends
largely upon it's earliness. The kinds
which do not require bushing are most
popular for farm use. The late kinds
often do not produce crop until warm
weather comes. and for that reason are
often attacked by blight, which may
be prevented by spraying with bor-
deaux mixture, same as for apple trees.

One of William r. Morgan's teams
which was drawing gravel from the
bed on Morgan street received cold
bath Monday afternoon.
The road to the gravel bed extends
from Morgan street along the channel
at the upper end OF Benton's pond.
The team was being driven out ofthe
usual road an the wagon filled with
gravel and both horses slowed over
the bank into the pond.
The horses were gotten out with
much difficulty, one of them having
suffered so much from the cold water
th"t it was necessary to drag it home
on a stone boat.
But for prompt assistance arriving,
both horses would have persisted.

BURNED TO DEATH.
Montpelier Woman Went To Bed With Lighted
Lamp In Room.

Montpelier, Dec I2.--Miss Mary V.
Dodge, aged ~ years, was burned to
death between O'Clock and 2:30 this
morning, at her home about three
miles from this city, on the road to
Wright's mills. Miss Dodge lived with
her foster mother, the widow of Joel
Dodge who i about so years old,
Mrs Dodge was awakened after 2
O'Clock this morning by Ii hit in her
room. At first she thought it was
morning, but looking up to the ceiling
she saw that it was on fire. She call
ed loudly to her daughter, but getting
no response, wrapped some blankets
about her and ran to neighbours.
When nelp was obtained it was too
late to save the house, which was
burned to the ground, or to rescue
Miss Dodge.
Mayor +. M. Corey of this city was
called and examined the premises. He
found the trunk of the unfortunate
womans body in the cellar, covered
by the ashes of the burned building.
Miss Dodge had not been we'll for
three weeks and last night she left a
light burning. 1t is thought probable
that the lamp exploded, causing the
fire.
