the French commissioner landed, and

General H4rper "A series of let

sufficient to conhae such an arrangement TO me
excess OF the year 1896. From the state OF
the money market, and the high credit OF the
Government, 20 doubt is entertained that the
$4,000 900 required to provide for the excess
of the debt on the fst of January, 1926. may De
borrowed at 5 per cent, re'mbursabie IN 1879,
and 1850 Ard. II such an arrangement IS APP
proved, ii is respectfully proposed that arthori'

The same object migat. perhaps, be accom-
plished by an exchange OF the stock redeema'
bic on the lst ofJanuarg, 1876. for 5 per cent
stock redeemabIe in 1929 and 1880. Bat, it is
believed that better terms may be obtained by
q loan. A proposal for a loan invites compe-
tition from all the moneyed capitalists, including
the Bank Of the United States. whereas an ex-
change of stock confines the demand for the
new stock 10 the holders Of the old stock, who
constitute not only a small portion OF t'le capi
talisls, but a portion interested in preventing
the Accomplishment of the exchange. Moreover,
the experience Of the government, during the
last two years, ~jnstifies the preference for a
loan. In 1929, a law was passed authorizing
an exchange of 500 200. 900 of the z per cents,
aid Of the 8 per cents of the years 1912, Is,
IA. aud IS, for a S per cent, stock. redeema-
bic in the years 1880, 81, '32, and '33, and only
D56 70477 were exchanged and, under the act
of the last session, authorizing an exchange of
IS 600 000 dolia's, of the 6 per cents of 1915,
only D3 Sos 3o7 40 were exchanged.
Should the suggestion herein offered, be
adopted for disposing of the excess of debt re-
deemable in 1896 and 1927. the amount OF pub
lie debt, redeemable in each year, will be as

SMUT IN WHEAT.

L
1t is well known that the farmers in
this part of the country have suffered
almost beyond calculation, by Smut in
their wheat-especially the last season.
Almost every field Of wheat in this vi
cinity, (where the antidote was not APP
Piled, was much injured by smut,
which seems great pity, when the
remedy is SO easy and simple.
In the New England Farmer, Vol. l,
page 1903, sundry remedies are given;
yet they are so complex, and indefinite,
that it is difficult for farmers to follow
any of them. But in all the compounds
there laid down, where any great bene-
fit has been realised, you find that Lime
was the principal ingredient. In short,
Lime is the only thing necessary. /
might reason, theorise, and enlarge on
this subject, give my opinion of the
cause of Smut, why and how it is pro-
duced, &C.; but as there are various o.
pinions, | shall at present only give,the
remedy, which, am confident, is ef-
fcctual against smut in Wheat.
Wash your wheat in two or three
waters, put it into tub or some other
convenient vessel, and 10 every bushel
ofwheat put at least two quarts Of
fresh Stacked Lime; then add water
sufficient TO cover the wheat, stir it
well together; let it remain at least 4s
hours, stirring it occasionally; you may
let ii stand longer, should it be necessa-
ry. When you are ready to sow, turn
off the water, and put the wheat .ultf
a basket to drain, or it maRen it will
soon be in a proper condition for SOW
ing. l have followed the above me-
thod for several years, and never had
an ear of smut; and after much inqui-
ry and observation, during 90 years,
have never known an ear of smut pro-
duced where this remedy has been
used; and ] am persuaded should the
above practice be pursued with seed
wheat, that there never would be any
smut.
1t should be recollected that the
wheat must remain in the lime water,
as above directed, at least, 4s hours.
Respectfully, yours,
CORNELIUS HOLLAND.
Canton, Rprii, 1925.
rive have known several farmers,
who soak or steep their wheat as re-
commended in the above communica-
ton, and when they are ready to sow
it, put in as much dry Lime as will
cause the kernels to seperate. We
should think plaster might do as well.

CUTTING OF RYE.

This object is of such importance
that cannot conscientiously omit my
endeavors to impress it on the minds OF
the community.
Rye ought to be cut as soon as pos
sible after the milk is out Of the berry
or kernel: then rake, bind in small
sheaves and shock in the following
manner: set up four, fve'or six sheaves
together, according to their bulk then
place on capsheaf.
In this position, the shocks may
stand till perfectly dry; then secure
them in barrack or barn, but never
NOW them on hay. Grain moved on
hay will receive more or less must
this must is deleterious to animals OF
every kind.
Rye cut and secured in this manner,
is worth nearly double the price OF that
cut in the common way; the straw will
make better fodder than clover, unless
the clover be cut when very green, and
peculiarly attended in curing; the ber-
nv of rye will fill to plump state, and
the flour will afford as good bread as
we commonly obtain from wheat.

who were deceived, when eating rye
