Smut of Oats Prevented.


An experiment, conducted at the Ohio
experiment station and just reported, in
sleeping oats in hot water indicates that
by this method the greater portion of the
loss from the smut of oats may be pre-
vented. The process, briefly stated, is
as follows: Have two vessels, in one of
which water is kept warmed to about
1870 degs. Fahrenheit, and in the other to
as nearly exactly 135 degs. as possible.
Have a basket of wire netting, or loose
splint basket covered with cloth. The
water baths must be large enough to ad-
NIT this basket. Fill the basket with
seed grain and immerse it in the cooler
bath, keeping it there and stirring it
around until all the grains are warmed,
then lift it out and plunge it into the hot
bath, where it should remain from eight
to ten minutes, being stirred or agitated
meanwhile. Then remove it and dip it
into cold water, or spread the grain out
and throw cold water over it, after
which dry it sufficiently for sowing.
The effectiveness of this method de-
pends upon having the water hot enough
to destroy the smut germs which may
be adhering to the outside of the grains
of oats, but not so hot as to destroy the
germ of the oats. Experiment has dem
onstrated that this may be accomplished
by soaking the grain in water of the
temperature indicated. The reason for
using two vessels is that if one vessel
were used the water would be cooled too
much by the cold grain to accomplish
the purpose in view, or, if it were heated
hot enough to do this, it would be so hot
as to destroy the vitality of much of the
grain.

Electric Conduits of Paper.

Paper tubes are now being used as
conduits for electric cables, water, gas
and other purposes. The method of their
manufacture is interesting. The width
of the paper is equal to the length of a

through molten asphalt and is then rolled

SprinkIing Eggs.

Sprinkling eggs is one of the ''ex-
ploded ideas" of artificial incubation.
1t is dangerous and useless, lowering
the temperature too suddenly, increasing
evaporation and supplying no moisture
to the chicken. Put a pan of warm
water or wet sponge or cloth beneath
the egg drawer, if you think moisture is
lacking. At any rate don't sprinkle the
eggs, says The Fancier's Journal.

of Williams livery stable, who was ar
rested on warrant charging him with
raising disturbance at the stable on
Wednesday night The officer sum-
monded two witnesses to prove what
had been the previous character of the
house, but as the charge was specified
this evidence was ruled out by the
mayor. Darbo had witness to prove
that he did not swear nor raise dis
turbance. The mayor dismissed the
case Darbo then preferred charges
against the officer for swearing at the
time the arrest was made. This matter
will be investigated before the police
commissioners Tho officer says the
charges are untruthful.

SENITOR SHERMAN.

Dispatches and correspondence from Columbus
and Cincinnati foretel the reelection OF Senator
Sherman. Republican members OF the ONO
Legislature whose good fortune it is to be acie
10 serve the country in this way are naturally
and properly reticent on the subject but it IS
becoming evident that a large majority OF those
who will constitute the Republican caucus in
tend to return Mr.. Sherman to the Senate as his
own successor. 1t is especially gratifying to be
assured that this action will represent the strong
desire of the party not only in Ohio, but gen
orally throughout the country. IL is not the
business of Republicans in other States to seek
to interfere with the free choice OF the ONO
Legislature, but neither is it any dlSparagement
d others to rejoice that the choice now seems
certain to fall upon the candidate whose public
services have been so prolonged and so eminent
whose sagacity and experience are so greatly
needed, and whose retirement would be so deep
w deplored by the best men in both parties.
II seems to us that the withdrawal OF Senator
Sherman from public life in the near future
would be National calamity, and would come
as near to being an irrepaIable less as any
change of representation in Congress could In
Aict. When current reports have been confirmed
and his commission has been extended, popular
approval and gratitude will be due and paid to
the Republican majority in the Ohio Legislature
