The What and Why of Agricul-
tural Experiment Stations-Farm-
ers' Bulletin No. issued by the
Office of Experiment Stations of the
U. S. Department Of Agriculture, is
brief account of the Experiment
Stations, what they are doing and
how they do it. together with short
history Of the origin and develop
ment of Experiment Station work in
this country and an account of the
work in the same line in Europe. An
immense amount of interesting and
valuable information is compressed
within the narrow limits. l6 pages,
of this little pamphlet. Amongst
other things we learn that no coun-
try in the world has undertaken sci
entinc work for the benefit of its
farmers on such vast scale as the
United States; that in great many
cases a single line of investigation
pursued at an experiment station
has saved more money to the farmers
of the State than IT'S entire cost of
its maintenance; that the effect on
farmers themselves in spite of the
short time the experiment stations
have been in existence has been
most marked, inducing them to seek
to apply the results of scientific re-
search to their work. The work
costs the country, including both
state. and national appropriations
over 100000, and employs over $40
scientific men. The expense, how
ever, is but trifiing one in compare
son with the annual value of our ag-
ricultural products, which is not less
than $200,000,000 Monongalia farm
ers can procure the pamphlet by send
ing to the Secretary Of Agriculture.

made an abrupt demand on the
Western Union Telegraph Company
that the rate should be lowered for

company that they didn't have to do
that. That plain, blunt, Wanna

politically was the cabinet position,
which he owes to the large funds
subscribed for the Republican cam

case of big head that he thinks his
words have weight with private cor

A NEW WHEAT DISEASE.

Which Made its Appearance in Many Parts OF
Indiana.
INDIANAPOLIS, July ID. Horace E
STOCK bridge, director of the government
agricultural experiment station for
Indiana, has been Investigating the new
wheat disease that has appeared in Ger
tain sections OF the state, particularly in
La Grange county and which is seriously
affecting the wheat crop over a COL
siderable area. The disease is a
fungoid growth, know as "bunt" or
"stlnking smui" on account OF its strong
and disagreeable odor. 1t is rarely found
in A merica. The wheat head on ripen-
ing. may possess very nearly it's normal
appearance, but on shedding the grains
are founu to be filled with black, greasy
powder. The result of the growth of
fungus, beginning with the very germina-
tion of the seed and keeping pace
with the growth of the plant. It's
action is no more harmful than
common smut but its odor renders it
more Objectionable. It is very apt to
occur 50 abundantly in field as to rem
ker the crop well nigh worthless. Seed
whe at may be freed from spores by being
soaked in a solution of blue vitrol (sul-
phate of copper for thirtysix hours
four ounces of sulpnate to one gallon of
water.

ed by earnest appeals to railroad officials,

cites the fact that the rate of one cent
per mile or less has recently been granted
80 other organizations, and states that

rate to the veterans of the late war is an
unjust discrimination against the

pleasure of meeting their comrades at the

original scheme was supposed 10 have
been dropped; but either the same par
ties or others connected with them shave
reopened the negotiations which have
been going on ever since and which may
possibly eliminate in the trans fer of sew
eral mills from their present owners to
outside pmchasers.
1t is probably trife premature to spec
ulate on the effect of this proposed move
ment on the general milling business of
the country, and especially of the spring
wheat section. Il may not be carried
out, althoug the probabilities are other
wise. A large number of millers think it
will be an unfortunate thing for the trade
at large, and there is some talk of other
combinations being made to compete
with it.
