SMUT IN WHEAT.

The black powder observed in grains OF
wheat, oats, barley or rye, and ears of corn.
is generality known as smut. Viewed un-
der microscope of high power this smut
is seen to be mass of black, round balls.
These are the seeds of plant or fungus
which has several stages Of growth and
finally reproduces new set of spores.
These seeds will float in the atmosphere,
and adhere without being noticed to the
grain. When grains of wheat are soWn
with this fungus attached the fungus strikes
a filament into the tissue OF the plant and
infects it as with poison. The parasite PEN
etrates throughout the tissues of the plant
sometimes as with corn bursting out upon
the stock, but generally appearing in the
ear. 1t has been discovered that caustic
allies destroy the substance Of smut; and
also that the application OF sulphates of
iron, copper, and zinc have the same eff
feet; of these latter the sulphate of copper
the commonly known blue yitriol-is the
most useful. The usual method OF apply
ing these remedies is to steep the seed in
solution of the various substances. The So
lullOH lHAy Dt ds AoioWo, dliu Cltho1 VIC oi'o
or the other may be used as found conven
lent. One pound common salt in one gal
lon of water. -Four ounces sulphate of cop
per in one gallon of water. Sufficient OF
| the solution should be made to saturate the
seed or thoroughly moisten every grain.
When the seed has stepped for two hours it
is drained and spread upon floor and
sprinkled with dry lime i'll powder; that
which has been air-slacked by exposure to
the atmosphere in a covered shed until it
falls into fine dust is best fitted for this
use. The seed is then shovelled and stirred
uutil each grain has been coated with lime.
In an hour Or two it will be dry and may
be sown. There are at least fifteen species
of the smut fungus known to botanists.

crod is ted at the homestead to young cattle
and tattening ones. and then the portion
left gives all thee droppings necessary for
growing as much barley or oats as can
stand on the ground.
In England the root crop is first in i'm
portance, every farmer putting all the ma
nure he can make and collect together on
the land coming in rotation for that crop,
and when it does not hold out, there is no
hesitation in resorting to artificial manure.
A heavy crop of mangolds, swedes and tur-
nips, insures good crops of barley, clover
and wheat, and failure gives an opposite
result; consequently roots are the main
stay of success, and without them sheep
husbandray and stock farming could not
succeed. 1t is Of no use to ignore roots, for
good stock farming cannot be conducted
without growing and feeding them. Sheep
will not thrive aud produce the best quality
of wool and mutton without roots. In a
few years it will be a matter of surprise that
roots were not sooner appreciated here.
Any farmers intelligence and capability
can be estimated bo seeing his root crop,
and his standing and good sense may be
known by the Importance he attaches to
growing the best of this nutritious and
health-giying food.--Cor. Country Gentle

AGRICU L!l 7 RAJ.

FARMING is one thing, and good farming
is another. Most anybody can farm-that
is after q tashion-but to farm as matter
Of business, to till the soil as it should be,
to make it remunerative, to get the best
possible returns from the least amount of
labor, requires thrift and business tact. 1t
requires more than this. The farmer must
take an interest in his work, study the
ecience of his calling il he would be what is
meant to be indicated by the term farmer.
Agricultural work books and papers are his
essential literature. The merchant, the
lawyer and doctor, in fact every profession
and industry, have journals devoted to their
development And it matters not what call
ing, the man who refuses to supply him
self with these will get left in tie great race
ct life. The walk OF every profession and
industry is strewn with wreckers OF those
who have ignored this tact, and it is most
particularly true of farmers. He who at
tains eminence among his fellow farmers
who pushes the business and compels sue
cess whatever the adverse circumstances, is
the man who supplies his home with first
class agricultural newspapers, who studies
his calling and brings up his family to do
likewise. We would recommend to our
friends that they try the plan-commence
by reading the HusBANDMAN. It is devoted
to Montana farming, and no one who will
read it regularly will regret the time and
money thus invested.

CONSTRUCTION OF ICE HOUSES.

A rather theoretical friend of mine once
advised me to build an ice house. The
rage was then to put the ice in a frame
building all above ground. He was to fur
nish the brain work and the money, ma
terials and labor. The building was in due
time completed, and will as briefly as pos
sible describe the plan. The size OF the
building was 1G feet square and 10 feet high.
We laid foundation of stone Is inches
thick of the required size. The top of this
foundation was leveled off about Is inches
above the surface of the ground. Inside
one side inside the walls was built vault
