SOUTHERN AGRICULTURAL.
How 10 Prevent Smut in Wheat and
Oats.

Forty years observation in the
Southern States leads the writer to be-
lleve that smut in wheat and oats is on
the increase in the Sunny South.
Every farmer should regard himself
as soldier enlisted in the service Of
his country TO fight this bread-destr0y-
ing parasite Brother farmer, ponder
this fact. If no man planted smutty
wheat Or smutty oats. no man could
harvest grain affected by this enemy
OF mankind remember seeing smut
germs killed on seed-wheat and oats
more than Seyenty-fye years ago by
soaking seed some three or four hours
in strong brine made of common salt
Seed is dried in lime or ashes before
sowing.
The living germ in wheat or oats
may be killed by being too long in
brine. Two hours is long enough to
destroy smut life, and not hurt wheat
or oats used for seed.
There are scores Of wheat growers
who never have any smut in their
staple crop, washing seed in blue
stone; water and salt have been found
quite as good preventive as blue
stone
1t is a curious fact that the spores OF
this parasite grow small enough to
pass from seed wheat in the ground

INTELLIGENCE OF CATS.


Every one is explicitly friendly or
hostile to them, and they are like chill
dren in their power of discovering by
| Il rapid and sure instinct who likes
them and who does not II is difficult
to win their affection, and it is easy tc
forfeit what it is hard to win. But
when given, their love, although less
demOnstrative. is more delicate and
beautiful than that of a dog. Who that
is on really intimate terms with a cat
has not watched its dismay at the
signs of packing up and leaving home9
We ourselves have known a cat who
would recognize his masters footsteps
after three months absence and
come out to meet him in the hall with
tail erect and purring all over as if to
.he very edge OF bursting, And an
other cat we know who comes up every
morning between six and seven o'clock
to wake his master, sits on the bed and
very gently feels first one eyelid and
then the other with his paw. When
an eye opens, but not till then. the cat
sets up loud purr, like the prayer of
fre-worshipcr to the rising sun.
Those who say lightly that cats
care only for places, and not for
persons, should go to the cat show
at the Crystal Palace. where they
may see recognition between cat and
owner that will cure them of 50 shall

there one striking instance fell in our
