An otherwise good farmer brought
me bunch OF smut heads and declared
that he had soaked his seed in blue
stone. / asked him II he did it by i'm
mersion or sprihkling; he said by
sprinkling, but that he knew that he
had wet every grain. ! told him he
could not know such fact except by
a complete immersion, and even then
the water should have several hours
to complete its work OF penetrating
the crevice in the side and the fuzzy or
hairy end OF the wheat grain. These
are homes of the supposed smut germ,
and am disposed to think that the
caustic solution must come in actual
contact with all the smut there con-
cealed before n complete preventive
has been used. speak OF these things

where. when and how we will SOW our

MORE PASTURAGE.
The Greatest Need OF Many Farm in tho
East and West,

The Greatest Need OF Many Farm in tho
East and Wcst.
Tho great need of many farm is
more pasturage for the cattle, sheep
and swine. There is, OF course, toler-
ably fair grazing in the woods during
the summer months, but nearly every
farmer could do much better than that
and have his stock always near him
under his inspection, too, If he would
give some attention to providing pas
turage at homo. II you can not read
lily have the grasses or clovers let the
wild grass OF the farm have chance.
Broom sedge and hens nest are better
than no grass at all, and If the bushes
and briers were kept down would sup-
ply very respectable summer grazing
for the stock. In all cases where
there are old fields and other surplus
lands, that part of the field should be
converted into summer pasturage. An
acre OF broom sedge is worth, for
grazing purposes, 81 or So every sum-
mer
And so our native grasses, where it
is not convenient TO have the culti-
waited sorts, would pay, if only we
would give them chance to grow
cut off the brush and briars and let
in the sunlight This sort of pastur-
age is far better than none. OF course
We do not mean that the farmer ought
TO stop with this. But we mean that
this will do for a start. when one can
not do better. More pasturage, bet
ter stock; more manure and more
crops for the farmer.
Convert your old fields and waste
lands into grazing grounds for the
stock and keep the stock at home.
Burn them over in spring, cut off tho
brush. let in the sun, destroy briars
and thorns. After awhile you will
have respectable sod of short sweet
grass for grazing improves coarse
pasturage. Make more pasturage.

The late Queen Mary OF Bavaria is
said to have been as warmly devoted

his accession she looked upon him
more as a King than son.

dearly mother and SON loved each
other. They were gazing out OF one

finest views in the world before them

Its pure surface, and above all the
noble mountains stretching on every

beauty of lake and mountain, and
raised his eye to the sky. The
Queen, who never scared too
high, gazed with delight at an
imposing pine which = lowered
high above the window at
which they stood. Suddenly the
Queen exclaimed: What a glorious
Christmas tree this would make If we
could decorate it. The King passed
his hand over his eyes. smiled and
kissed her. This was in August In
December he expressed wish to
spend Christmas at Hohenschwangau.
The Queen, always willing to do what
he wished, followed him thither. On

Not the least interesting episode in
Mr.. Stanley's wonderful story of his
last journey in the dark Continent"
is his account of the poisoned arrows
used with such deadly effect by the
natives against his followers. The
exact nature Of the poison used re-
NAMED an enigma until he discovered
in one of the villages several packets
of dried red ants. and learnt that the
poison was procured from them. The
insects are dried, ground to powder
and cooked in palm-oil. and the MKT
ure is applied to the points of tho ar
rows. The noxious compound owes
ats power to formic acid, which exists
an the bodies OF ants, in certain cater
piliars, and even in stinging-nettles.
When pure. this acid has a most cor
rosive action on the skin. producing
olisters which are difficult to heal.
Its action was no doubt especially
deadly to those whose frames were
already much weakened BY hunger and
