AGRICU L 7 7 RAJ.

In sowing grain, whether it be wheat,
oats or barley, sown broadcast or drilled,
it is very essential to have the ground in
good order. Fields should be cleaned of
all rubbish that will not turn under, and the
plowing should be done carefully. It is
not required to be deep-that depending on
the nature of the soil-but it should be
thorough. After the seed has been we'll put
in the ground it should be rolled with a
large heavy roller. This crushes the clods
and makes the ground smooth so that it
will irrigate well; and last, but not least
renders the soil compact so that it will not
dry out so soon. Vegetation is also claimed
to start and grow better when the soil does
not lay mp too light. Besides when no.
rolled there are seeds left where the plant
wall be on Jumps and rugged places expos
ed to the sun, and the land is more liable to
wash. Those who have not adopted the
system of rolling should try it once and be.
come convinced of its advantages.

SMUT IN GRAIN.

Occasionally, and sometimes frequently
one may observe the heads of wheat, oats,
barley, rye and the ears of corn filled with
black, poWdery substance which is gencr-
ally known as smut. When an ear Of grain
thus affected is examined, it will be seen
that the substance of the grain is changed
into this fine black powder, or that the
grain is displaced by puffy, swollen mass
OF the powder. the latter being more partic-
ularly to be seen in corn. This smut, when
viewed under a microscope Of high power
is seen to be composed of black, round balls
which are so small that 100000 of them
would cover no more than one square inch
of surface, and 100000 of them are able to
occupy the bulk of single grain OF wheat.
These minute balls are the spores or seeds
of a fungus, a plant which has several inter-
mediate stages of growth, and finally repro
dnces new set OF spores
The minute seeds are small enough to
float in the atmosphere. to adhere without
being noticed to the grains which are 'sown
as seed, or to rest in the ground until they
come in contact with the sprouting seed and
infect the growing wheat Immediately
upon contact with root of wheat the smut
spore strikes a filament into the tissue of
the plant and infects it us with poison
The parasite penetrates throughout the tis-
sues OF the plant, sometimes, as with corn.
bursting out upon the stalk, but generally
appearing in full devlopment in the ear or
spike when the grain is forming. The eel
l,!a ~
ed by the fungus is occupied by vast num-
Der of tour-sided cells or cavities, separated
by walls, and which are filled with mass
of very minute adherent granules. perfectly
round and at first green, but afterward OF a
pale reddish brown color; at length the
cell-walis disappear, the granules separate
and appear as the back-but really rusty
hrown-powder which we call the smut.
By proper treatment the smut-pores can be

PROFITABLE USE OF WHEAT STRAW.

few wheat farmers are trying the expe-
riment of scattering their straw over the
field and burning instead of allowing it to
rot in pile. 1t aids in destroying seeds Of
weeds and supplies potash otherwise lost.
IAere is no doubt of it. And it will pay ev-
cry wheat grower Of Southern Illinois to do
the same thing. On the rich bottom lands
Of the Mississippi and other streams it may
not be SO necessary, but on the higher roll
ing and hilly lands where the potash from
the burned timber has all washed away .'the
fertility of the soil needs to be restored or
the grain product will diminish till it ceases
to pay for the labor expended. There is,
perhaps, no easier. way to restore this than
the method adopted by Mr.. Allan and de-
scribed above. 1t is a much better plan
than that Of burning the straw in pile and
then distributing the ashes. In the North
west and in California. where heading ma
chimes are used, the straw is left standing
as it grew, and the soil is not so rapidly
Impoverished as in illinois. But here, and
in all sections where it is impracticable to
nse header, every possible means should
be used to increase the natural capacity for
production. Wheat lands are like horses !;
It's much easier to keep them fat than to
restore their fairness after it is once lost.
After the straw is burned, the sowing of a
barrel of salt broadcast upon every acre,
will return four fold its cost in increased
quantity and good quality of the next grain
crop. or Whatever crop may follow. 1t is
an experiment easily tried, ahd worthy Of
trial.--Cor. Inter- Ocean.

NEW VARIETIES OF WHEAT.

Why may not our agricultural societies
take a hint from the course lately decided
upon by the Royal Society of England.
This society has offered two prizes of e25
and el0 each, for distinctly new varieties of
wheat which shall combine the largest yield
of grain and straw per acre with approved
form and size, smooth and thin skin, full
and white kernel, and high specific gravity
in the seed, and with bright firm, and stiff
straw. One sack must be delivered to the
Society by each competitor, together with
sample bundle of straw, before the 1st of
October next. A portion of each sample
will be kept for comparison, and the re-
Fmainder divided into equal portions, will
be cultivated next year in four localities
differing in respect of soil and climate The
prizes will be awarded for the best varieties
Of the crop of 1880, THUS cultivated under
theauspices of the Society, in the opinion
Of the judges they possess qualities which
entitle them to distinction. The produce of
the experimental crop of 1880 will be the
property of the Society, and will be offered
first to the competitors who submitted the
seed. AS our State Boards of Agriculture
perhaps, are not prepared to carry out the
experimental part of an enterprise of this
kind, they may very properly turn the cul-
tivation over to the agricultural colleges.
There is in this another argument In favor
Of an attemptlo unite the scattered agri-
cultural forces of the country for the ac-
complishment of practical results.-Farns-
e,,'s Revieao.

In recent issue of the St. Louis Miller

was supposed to be the largest plow ever
built. An exchange, however, disputes the

Undergraduates coat, pointed me to a
chair, and climbed in. When the
performance was about concluded, the
barber said to me:
