SMUT IN WHEAT.-W1L11Ax
MYERS writes to the California
Red Bluf Beacon, from Pleasant
Grove Farm, Tehama Co., that he
has been a farmer in California
for four years and has been en-
deavoring to ascertain the cause
of smut in wheat. He threshed
out a portion of his seed wheat
by a machine and a portion by
horses. He kept them separate,
and sowed them ON the same kind
ofland. That which was threshed
by horses had no smut, while that
witch was threshed by machine
had considerable. He says he
could trace the sm,,t to furrow
wherethe machine grain was sown,
the other being perfectly free from
smut, both being clean seed when
sown.. From this fact Mr.. M. has
deduced the following theory
The bruised kernels have not vi
tally enough in them to mature
the grain, but enough to produce
q stalk and head, and the grain
blasts or smuts. So confident is
ne OF the truth Of his assertions
that he thinks if farmers would
thresh their seed wheat with a
Hail, or with horses s.two wears
would not elapse before the cry Of
smut in wheat will be no more
heard in onr land"

conclusively that the great impor-

Beyond our own growth, the i'm.
ports of wool from Australia in
1907 amounted to only 245 pounds

up to which the returns extend.
the importation was 4O,8lO,l37

(;russ aid Nc, Weight Of Cattle

Gross aid Nc, Weight Of Cattle
ACCORDING to the New York
Tribune, the ordinary rule of ascer-
tanning the net weight Object cat
tie from the live weight on the
scales, varies according to quality,
size and age, and after all is no
rule at all, because it is entirely
a matter Of agreement between
the parties at the time. 1t also
depends upon the locality. In
New York, the net weight of the
beef in the quarter only is wanted.
In Boston, the hide and fat are
included, counting those products
equal to one quarter of the beef.
or rather. calling the whole five
quarters. There the net weight
of a fat bullock is estimated at 60
to 65 pounds of each 100 Of live
weight. In extra fine animals the
per centage is higher. In New
York, where the hide and fat are
left out of the calculation, the
ybullocks are estimated at So to 60
pounds net to each 100 pounds
gross; and if the animal is very
fine, the estimate runs from 81 to
81 pound net to each 100 pounds
gross. Extraordinary animals
sometimes dress IS or IS pounds,
and ey n higher, and ordinary
lean stock run from IS down to
Al, though not often below so
pounds, or ore-half the weight at
home. Tn common practice at
the West is to weigh fatted cattle,
some hours after feeding and
q little exercise and calculate the
net weight at SIS pounds per 100
of the live weight.
