could not he better illustrated than by
the fact that each of the street cars
in the Twin Cities is independently
heated by such a planD. The pro-
vision of 'hot and cold running wa
ter" and Of bathing facilities, is
brought within reach in the country
home by such 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 ham
die; but an inspection of the work
necessary to drain many 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
1t 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, Mimi.

Types of Corn for
Minnesota Conditions,
BY Andrew Boss, Professor Of
Agriculture, Minnesota Ex-
pertinent Station.

Corn, more than any other of our
farm crops, is localized as to variety
and type. There are only a few vari-
cites, commercially known, that are
adapted to growth in Minnesota. With
q season of ninety days in the extreme
northern portion of the state and ll5
days in the southern portion, it is not
possible to grow the large-eared vari-
cites of the states farther south: nor
is it necessary that they be grown to
secure profitable yields. Quite as
large average yields 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. %, White-Cap Vel
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. but
yield forty to fifty-fve bushels per
acre where grown under favorable
conditions.
In Central Minnesota. Dent varieties
of somewhat larger type are grown.
These include North~ estern Dent,

Salvation Army Christmas.

The Salvation Army barracks pre-.
sented an interesting scene on Sat-
urday afternoon with the pretty
holiday decorations and many bask-
cts laden with good things to eat.
The contents of the baskets were
mostly the kind donations of the
business men Of Willmar and the S.
A. workers desire to extend their
grateful thanks to all who helped
make it possible for them to scatter
so much comfort and pleasure.
The baskets were taken where most
needed and were happy reminders
that those on whom fortune had
not smiled were kindly remembered
by those more fortunate. It was
one of the most cheering features
of Willmar's Christmas season.
This evening beautiful Christ
mas tree will be enjoyed at the bar
racks.
