Smut on Corn.

Smut on the corn originates in light
spores that are carried about in tine at
mosphere. II is said to enter the stem
when the plant is young, and through
out its whole growth the fungus is grow
ing within il, but produces but little ap-
parent effect until about the time Of
caring. The smut forms often on the
ear, but is also found on other parts OF
the stalk. Corn seems to be the only
crop in which smut appears long enough
before maturity to admit of any treat
ment. The smut should be cut out as
soon as the swelling is observed and be-
fore any Of the spores have burst through.
At the time Of harvesting all smutty ears
and stalks that have been overlooked
should be kept separate and destroyed,
and not be fed to stock to perpetuate
the disease. The spores adhering to
seed corn may be destroyed By soaking
a few minutes in a solution Of blue vitri-
ol, but this viii not protect against smut
spores in the manure or smutty stalks
left in the field.

SeIf-Made Cranks.

One can not help believing that there
is 8 variety Of this gentry who are self
made eranks-cranks because they want
TO be. They seek some social dispropor
ton whereupon they can posture with
effect The pleasures of conformity are
humdrum; unconformity is piquant and
startling. Such man is not a crank
from abundance Of virtue, as he would
have you believe, but rather because he
feels his feebleness in the world Of prac-
ticsl affairs and is soured thereby. II he
poses as an advance philanthropist, we
suspect that his love Of mankind has
some side glances at personal profit. If
facts be against him he does not hesitate
to invent them, and visits with arrogant
abuse those who would expose his falsi-
ties He is especially angry with those
halting disciples who accept his scheme
as something ultimately possible, and
then humbly inquire what they are to do
Professionally as a practical approxima-
ton to the distant good. If be be a
rhetoriciRn he has no scruple in admin
istering the electric shock Of paradox,
and seeks the levity Of assent that may
be caught by the sudden spring Of a false
analogy. No doubt tits re kless shooter

scribes the talking bird who berates the

Thesupply of Wheat Falling off

The indications are that the day Of
heavy surplus production is fast waning.
Our wheat crop in 1874 was the magni-
fcent total Of 5l2. go, 900 bushels. 1t has
not Kept in that upper notch, and in the
year 1889 it figured maximum Weld of
40 100000 bushels We have a greater
population by nearly 1900, 900 than a
decade ago, and the increase of home
consumption would necessitate a larger
yield and not smaller. 1t is not likely
that we can add very largely to the an
nnal product. The wheat areas are far
ly occupied, excepting those north Of
Washington and the possible service Of
the arid submountainous districts when
successfully irrigated.
The Canadian wheat fields have an
enemy in Jack Frost, and some sections
ofthe DAkotas are far from being like
the valley of the Nile. The fact Is, we
are being fenced in, and in the matter Of
food supply (except meats we are not
likely to glut the markets Of the world
with surplus Of fwheat, if, indeed, the
time does not soon come when We may
have to import TO meet our de6eit.-4ge
