We notice an Interesting article
from the pen or L. III. King, in the
Morristown GAZETTE, on the sub
Ject Of smut in wheat. This disease,
il disease il lis, gives the farmer
serious trouble; and any investiga.
tor who may discover the cause or
origin Of smut will have accomplished
more good than general who wins
a great battle.
Dir. King theory il that an in
sect probably deposits an egg in the
grain when in the dough state, which
egg hatches at some period during
the progress Of the next crop, caus-
ing it to produce the fungus growth
known "a smut. lie further says
that the tap or main root Of all the
smut heads he has examined has
been wanting. and he offers this fact
as an evidence In support of his
theory.
So far as the missing tap root is
concerned Mr.. Kings observations
corresponds exactly with that of the
writer. Every smut head that We
have examined has had a defective
root. and we had formed an idea that
probably the trouble was caused by
an insect, like the bud worm in
corn. might burrow in the ground,
eat off the roots, suck the substance
of the plant, and thus cause the
forming grain 10 blast.
But if this theory be true it is
hard to conceive what effect the
soaking in sulphate of copper (blue.
stone) would have, unless it would
be the same IS rolling. seed corn in
lime, etc.. to prevent the ravages Of
the bud worm.
1t is well known that when the
bud worm cuts the main root in
young corn, that although the stalk
will continue to grow on, kind Of
sickly growth. yet the ear fails to
form, because the fountain of life
has been snapped.
This subject, although it is a
smutty one, demands more attention
than it has ever received.
The cause of rust and spot in
wheat are also important problems
in agriculture, and we are glad to
see farmers use brain as well as
muscle in their calling. "The agit.
alton of thought is said to be
the beginning of wisdom" aud
the more farmers interchange ideas,
the more intelligently can they ply
their vocation and we again offer
the use of our columns for the dis
cussion of these and kindred sub
jects. But when you write for the |
press study bIeyity; use only enough |
words to convey your ideas, and be
certain to quit when you have told
oil you know. ma [sT 81 $3.50

cutting will be sufficient to kill the
plants. The same principles ho.d
good in the management of the per-
ennial grasses of our meadows and
pastures, and it would be well for
every farmer to consider chem while
making preparation for haying the
present season. s ~ -
In many parts Of the country there
are large tracts OF swamp lands, Gov
cred with a luxuriant growth Of a
low and not very nutrient grass, and
other kinds Of plants, from which a
passably good forage might be made
.ifthey were secured in season. But
these low grounds are usually left
until the very last, because the pro-
duct is not so valuable as that of the
upland besides, the herbage upon
them keeps green later in the season,
and it is generally thought that there
is no hurry about cutting bog or
swamp hay until after harvest. and
the hurry of farm work is over. This
view is erroneous, inasmuch as the
bog grasses and other plants growing
in such situations are generally of
lower order and less nutritiYe than
those growing upon dry land and
they become very hard and woody
long before showing signs Of maturity
by assuming q brown or yellowish
color, like those in our cultivated
fields. There are many Of these bog
grasses or sedges, which would be
eaten by cattle in winter if cut very
early, before the stems and leaves
become hard and woody; and, al
though we would not recommend the
saving of such materials for fodder if
better kinds have to be neglected in
order to secure it, there are thou
sands of cattle that suffer every win
ter for want Of food. and to these
even bog hay would be blessing.
The old saying that So straw-stack
or pile of green twigs is better than
a snow-bank" for cattle to wallow in
during winter, is applicable to this
swamp hay; and we can scarcely
urge too strongly the Importance of
gathering all such material for the
use of stock in winter. 1t may not
be needed E; neither is it always econ
omy to save wheat straw, especially
in regions where the winters are mild,
a nd better forage plentiful; but the
season may come when such unlm-
portant material will be handy, as
it is this year in California, where,
owing to severe drought, all crops
have failed.
The wise man lays up stores for
future needs, as well as for present
consequently, we advise our
readers not only to make hay when
The sun Shines" but whenever time
and opportunity present. and out of
whatever materials there may be at

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
DAIN in the right side, under the
L edge Of the ribs, increases on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side sometimes the pain
is felt under the shoulder blade, and
it frequently extends to the top of
the shoulder, and is sometimes mis-
taken for a rheumatism in the arm.
The stomach is affected with loss of
appetite and sickness; the bowels in
general are costive, sometimes alter
native with lax; the head is troubled
with pain, accompanied with dull,
heavy sensation in the back part
There is generally considerable loss
ofmemory, accompanied with pain
full sensation of having left undone
something which ought to have been
done. A Slight, dry cough is some
times. an attendant. The patient
complains of WEAKNESS and debility
he is easily startled, his feet are cold
or burning, and he complains of q
prickIy sensation of the skin; his
spirits are low; and although he is
satisfied that exercise would be bene-
fetal to him, yet he can scarcely
summon up fortitude enough to try
it. In fact, he distrusts every rem
edy. Several of the above symp-
toms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few of them ex-
listed, yet examination Of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged.
AGUE AND FEVER.
Dr.. c. MoLANE's LIVER PILLS,
IN CASES OF ACUE AND FEVER, when
taken with Quinine, are productive
of the most happyresults. No better
cathartic can be used, preparatory
to, or after taking Quinine. We
would advise all who are afflicted
with this disease to give them A
FAIR TRIAL.
For all Bilious arrangements, and
as simple purgative, they are I'M
equaled.

A Remedy for Cro,rs.

There has recently been invented a
remedy for crows which certainly has
the appearance of deficiency. An Oswego
man invented it, and his neglect to
obtain a patent is quite unaccountable.
This man whenever he plants corn,
leaves in a conspicuous position in the
field a box full of corn which has been
thoroughly soaked in alcohol, and re-
marks in a loud though apparently care
less voice, that for his part he likes
crows, and is determined that they shall
have their share of the corn. Thus en-
couraged, the crows flock to the feast as
soon as the farmers back is turned, and
in the course of one or two hours are rem
dered as drunk as an equal quantity Of
boiled owls. At this point the farmer
returns with a club and a double-barreled
gun. With the former he beats out the
brains of the drunken crows with the
skill of a model policeman, and with the
latter he shoots those who are sober
enough to stagger a way in search Of
safety. The few who al still manage
to fly escape, and their description o.
the infamous character of that particular
farmer, and the degrading and fatal con
sequences Of indulgence in his adulter
ated corn, readily influences all the crow
to shun the field in which the intoxicat
ing corn is dispensed. The ingenious
farmer who invented this stratagem viii
have the gratitude of all other farmers
but there is certainly aquestion as to thu
strict morality of this plan.

ing the Turkish communications with Erze-

nine batalions aud occupied the village Of
IchilakIi, near Yardin, and west of Kars. A

Russians had attacked Kars, but were re-
pulsed with loss. According to the telegram
from the Turkish commander at Batoum,
Russian military operations were arrested

UsefttL Information.

IT is supposed by many that earthen-
ware is better and cooler for butter in
summer than wooden vessels. This is a
mistake. Earthenware is a too great con-
ductor of heat for butter. Hence, all
butter diaries adopt the wooden vessels.
=. THE Rural World suggests a simple
means of protecting young fruit trees
against rabbits, which is to place a few
cornstalks about the stem with the lower
ends tied near the ground, and the other
end tied as high as the protection is
needed. This application is found as
good as paper, and more likely to be
ready at hand for farmers.
EXERCISE your horses daily. A few
carrots with their grain will aid diges-
ton and appetite, and improve their
coats. Train colts so that no breaking
will be needed. Keep working and Ear
riage horses sharp shod, well groomed,
and blanketed when standing out, or in
cold stables after exercise. Ventilate
stables, and abolish high feeding racks.
A WATERFRONT stable floor may be
made as follows: Lay dry, tongued and
~grooved, inch-and-a-half plank, with the
joints put together with hot gas tar or
pitch, for the first floor; saturate this
thoroughly with hot tar, laying upon it
asecond floor of plank while the tar is
hot. The seams should be well filled
with the tar. No water will pass through
this floor, and it will be very durable
the more so if the upper floor is well
coated with hot tar and then sanded.
A CORRESPONDENT Of a German paper

Portable or Composition Roofing.

There is probably no article of manufac-
ture SO universally needed as q reliable low
priced roofing, which can be readily applied
without the aid of skilled labor, and in no
other direction has so great a want been SO
il e~ficiently supplied. The results OF exper-
iments with felts, cements and other compo-
sitions have 30 far been anything but salts

ings have been produced, advertised, used
and found worthless. In view OF these facts
we are glad to be able to speak favorably OF
an article which, from our own knowledge
and the testimony of some Of the most e1ten.
| sive and best known manufacturers and
merchants in this country, has proven a rell.
| able and economical substitute for the more
| expensive kinds of roofing. We refer to 81.
w. Johns Patent Asbestos Roofing, the
| manufacturers of which make no extraya-
CANT representations, but claim 1t to be the
only reliable portable roofing in use, and
from careful inquiry we believe their claims
are well founded. This roofing is prepared
ready for use, can be easily applied by I'M
skilled workmen, is adapted Tor steep OF
fiat roofs in all climates, and when finished
with the Uhite fre.proof coating forms the
lightest, handsomest and coolest roof in the
