The Pride of the North, a pure yellow dent corn, has long been popular in latitudes east, south and west of Minneapolis. The Huron is a yellow dent which furnishes an abundant yield. It is as early as the Dal<ota Dent, and both stalk and ear are of good size. A white dent corn known as the Rustier originated in Dakota. The ears are of compact form, and it is also an early maturing sort. The Mastadon, as indicated by the name, pro- duces a large ear and one possessed of great weight, owing to the many rows of deep kernels which cover the cob. It Is a yellow dent variety, and by no means a late one, hence will answer well for grow- ing south of Minnesota. Among the standard late varieties may be mentioned the Golden Beauty, the Improved teaming and the Champion Pearl, all excellent sorts to raise where they can be matured. Of those grown only for fodder purposes the Giant, Red Cob, Elephant and Evergreen Sweet are prominent. Corn may come anywhere In the rotation, but the object should be to grow It so that as far as practicable It may be made a cleaning crop, hence those fields may be chosen for a corn crop, which in the absence of a cultivated crop would require to be summer fallowed. It may be put upon overturned sod with much advantage to the corn. But when thus grown the aim should be to plough the land the preceding autumn. The decaying vegetable matters in such soils furnish a very suitable food for the corn, they too enable the ground to better retain the moist- ure which it possesses. And It should almost invariably be followed by a cereal crop sown with grass seeds. The cleaning of the ground by the cultivation of the corn is so far an excellent preparation for these crops. The
