Ball or Smut in Wheat.

Mr.. lIapc, Of Fcntonbarns, the dis
tinguiShcd Scotch agricultwist, OK
presses the following opinion on
picking seed wheat as a preventive
Of the above difficulty:
| have long been of the opinion
that ball-smut is a fungus propaga-
ted by adhering to the seed, and UNI
less this fungus is destroyed before
being sown, all the grains infected by
it are sure to produce diseased ears.
| must remark here that smut is of
two kinds. In one Of them the smut
or black powder flies or wastes away
before the sound wheat becomes ripe,
while in the other the powder is en-
closed in a skin frequently strong
enough to remain mbroEen when
passing through the threshiug ma
chine. The larger number Of balls,
however, do get broken, the powder
discoloring the sample, giving it u
disagrccablG %slueIl, and n peculiar
oily feeling, which judges know at
once. 1t is this variety which is de-
strOyCa by pickling. The other ap.
pears to be propagated in some other
way +; nj least rs yet no remedy has
been found tor checking it. Many
years ago, | rubbed smut balls
amongst clean wheat, then picked
part, and sowcd both, The result
was the picked seed produced u
healthy crop, while Of the unpicklcd
portion there was hardly one sound
car. ! have again and again seen the
sewing Of ields finished with I'M
picked seed tell TO the spot where
the dressed and undrcssed seed met.
Old wheat should not be pickeled, as
its vitality is sometimes totally de-
stroyed by it, and the fungus Itself
seems incapable of growth, when up
wards of twelve months old. | am
far from saying that ball invariably
follows when mndrcssod wheat is
used Tor seed, as by u careful selection
of seed this may be avoided for years.
But the little trouble any expense
saved by not picking seed is uiniug
in comparison to the security given.
have tried picking barley tor,
blackhcads, where the powder blows
OIL before the grain is ripe, hul, as in
wheat, without success. Sill, I think
it is worthy of lnrthor trial, us it his
appeared TO me, tor the laSl two or
three years, that many of the black.
heads in both oats and barley arc
moro nearly allied than formerly to
the true ball in wheat, should like
10 see experiments made by steep ~
glaiu different lengths of time in sea
water, or in water sailed to the
strength OF swimming an err. This
Is said to be a remedy against mildew
aud rust in warm climates, and pos.
Sibly ii may prove equally c~flcacious
here.

Ground Peas.

4 writer Is enthusiastic in his cs-
Innate of the value OF the ground
pea, and not only gives il high rank
as a hog-fattcncr, but places il among
the plants That may he used as Il fer
tilizcr. Others suspect, however,
the Improvement OF the land whore
he planted peas for five years is to
be ascribcd to the fact that hogs were
nttcncd on that spot, and not TO the
fcrtiliziug property Of the ground pea,
lie says:
The ground pea has never been
properly appreciated in our State; it
has no equal for fattoning hogs. |
have had sixmonths old shOats TO gain
two pounds daily when running on
ground peGs and sweet potatoes in the
same field. | have been cu~ltiYating
this plant tor twenty-five years, and
can say from experience that there Is
no correct way of asccrtGining land
that exactly suits it, except by eX-
pcrimcnting., | have had fine ground
peas on sti0 land, cicc rcrSd. They
should be shelled and planted on
land that has been well broken up,
but not bcddcd up, as they do not re-
Quirc q ridge. Tao rows should be
two feet eight inches or three feet
wide, not wider, on poor land, and
may be checked and cultivated entire
lywith the pillow. With one hociug
and twice running round, onco with a
a scooter and once with u sweep and
mrrow, | made as fine q crop tins year
as | ever have made, although they got
very grassy aftcrI quit working them.
The work they receive should be
given carly, before they have become
so grassy rs to be injured in getting
the grass out of them. Land that
contains lime is the best, but almost
any land that | have seen south Of
Macon, except rich bottoms, would
make fine ground peas. Some con-
tend they are an eXhausting crop |
have found that when hogs were al
lowed TO root them, from five years
planting on the same piece out of the
patch the land was benefited /; SO
much so, that the poorest part of a
field of one hundred acres that was
planted for five years in ground peas
became actually the best for any
kind of u crop.

Vision Of 1909.


tan amy one realize the exceedingly
probable fact that in l9OO-only
tw~cuty-uiuc years from nOw-thc
population of tho United States viii
number 100000 OF, we trust, free
and independent ciizens? Yet, says
the EcCaiaJ liII, Mr.. Samuel i.
Raggles proves that this will be
the casn, without making allow
mccs for auncNations, North and
| South, that will certainly como about,
Mr.. Sumner and all others to the
contrary Notwithstanding. lie shows
the reason for this prophcsy in fig
urcs, and although the Old saw
that figures won't lie is the most
u~uycracious of proverbs, Mr.. Rug
giles, igurcs:hayc acquired a rcputa-
lion OF their own, and a good Que at
that. For thC past thirty or forty
years, he has been figuring about our
informal and domestic commerce and
although lie has often been accused
of %romancing in figures, the facts
have always sustained the prCdic-
lions. When, therefore, the ablcst,
most experienced and most trust
worthy statician now living, tells us
we shall have u population Of 75,0O0,-
900 in 1900, the younger part OF the
present generation may well consider
Whist awaits them In maturity aud
old age.
SeycNty-liyc millions of people in
the United States implies the settle
mcmt Of the entire South and West
by as dense q population as hal Of
Massachusetts; the reclamation of
the arid wastes of the great Plains
by irrigation; the development of
States 9s strong as Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois, along the Rocky Mountains
the settlement Of the Utah Basin by
four or i've millions OF agricultural
and pastoral people; the develop
meut of . tier Of agricultural States
along our northern border, from
Lake Superior to the Pacific, Us pop
ulous and prosperous as Missouri and
Minnesota; the growth OF the Pa
Citic States into commonwealth rs
rich as New York and Pennsylvania.
1t means hat New York will cover
the whole of Manhattan Island with
a population of at least two millions,
to say nothing of the outlying ST.
burbs in New Jersey and across the
East River; that Chicago and st.
Louis will each become as large cit
les in fact, as they are now in their
own estimation, and that San Fran.
cisco will have a half million of i'll
habitants. This national debt will
bavc become q tradition, and it will
be difficult to understand how il was
ever hard to raise three or four hun
drcd millions a year by taxation.
Such are the glowing visions which
are excited by the prosaic and careful
figures of Mr., Rugglcs If any of
our readers arc unduly 'Bcanish' in
their tendencies, and inclined TO get
the blues over our future, we advise
them to indulge in the line of spccu-
Iation suggested by his striking sta
~tistics, and carry our predictions
more into detail.

nothing of pictures, has no taste for
anything literaryor scientific, but who
shoots Il good deal, hunts ~aIittle, dimes

gars o%btaiuabIe, and goes to the thea
ire whenever there is a new play.
That is about the routine of his life.
Goethe's mother was one of the

history. In n letter, when asked the
secret of her happiness, she says:
"Order and quiet are my principal
characteristics. Hence | dispatch at

disagrceable always first. I am fond
of people, and that every one feels
directly, young and Old. | pass with
out pretension through the world, and
that gratihes men, never dcmOralize
any one; always seek out the good
that Is in them; and leave what is
bad to Him who made mankind and
who knows how to round of the an
giles. In this way ! make myself
happy and comfortable In this
way she made many besides herself
happy and comfortable, and was .
sunbeam to all who knew her.
Brigham Young was asked not long

nuts to q Mormon without q license,
but he could not remember his name.
And he is not happy"

We are soon to have q new era.
We will have no men physicians
