RUST IN WHEAT.

Opinions Expressed at Farmers Confer
ences Held i'm Sydney, Australia.
1t has been estimated that Australia
loses nearly GO 100000 annually through
the rust OF its wheat crop. To find a
remedy a big prize in money has been
offered, and conferences have been held
in Sydney to consider this important sub
iect of rust. The opinion prevailed gen
orally that 'certain varieties of wheat
are much better able to resist rust than
others. and that by judiciOus cultivation
and liberalization still better varieties
may be grown" They seem to be almost
unanimous that ''early maturing sorts
can be made to escape the dangerous sea-
son, and that rust is due to climatic con-
ditions that can only be combated, but
never entirely overcome" Evidence has
been gathered by direct experiments,
and by information received from farm
ers in response to questions put to them,
which confirms the soundness of previous
recommendations in regard to early SOW
ing, and the less liability to disease of
crops grown in rotation, and it has also
been shown that as Il rule thinly growing
crops SuII6T less lIOIu Ill5b Judl ClO tIlChly
growing crops.
In regard to curative measures, it has
been found that solution composed of
one part sulphate of copper and 400 parts
water destroyed the vitality of the
rust spores, and that a solution of one
ounce of sulphate of iron to the gallon of
water, when sprayed over a growing crop
at time when rust was about to break
out, prevented its appearance until a
fortnight or three weeks later; and even
if applied when the rust had attacked
the plant, destroyed all outward appear
ance of the fungus and prevented its re-
appearance till fourteen days afterward.
Mr.. Smith Ellis, who has claimed the
prize for his discoveries in the matter of
rust prevention, says in recent paper
that ''the wheat growers themselves are
the sole propagators of rust by the abuse
Of their seed wheat. When they cease to

Sailing Pork.

Never salt meat until the hogs have
hung long enough for the meat to be-
come entirely cold all the way through
For barreled pork the brine should be
as salt as 1t can be made-so strong that
there will always be salt undissolved in
the barrel. Cut into pieces of convenient
size and pack them in rings ON their
edges, Fill all interstices and dover each
layer of meat with salt. Then pour in
all the strong brine the barrel will hold
and keep 1t filled. For side bacon the
usual plan Is first to rub each piece with
salt and then pack skin side down ON a
platform covered with salt. AS soon as
one layer Is down cover it with salt and
put another on it and so proceed, piling
1t up as high as convenient. Overhaul,
rub and repack it from three to four
times, until it is well sailed through.
The time it must remain will depend on
the thickness of the meat and the tenn
perature OF the packing place. In ex
tTcmely cold weather third longer time
laay be required There is no danger of
getting picked pork or heavy fat sides
to salt. For the hams, pickle should
be made just strong enough to barely
float an egg. Into this stir enough
brown sugar or molasses to give it a
slightly sweet taste. If the weather is
moderate, hams that weigh from eight to
twelve pounds may be taken out for
smoking in from three to four weeks.
In hard freezing weather and for large
hams longer time will be required,
varying from four to seven weeks.

and the loosened earth thrown up into a
ridge or bank. A second blowing and
second shoveling will complete the ditch

on the posts and the fence is completed.
Ii the ground on each side is heavy turf
the bank may be more narrow and steep
than one made wholly of loose earth,
which however will in time become well
sodded. Two men with a two horse team
will pillow the burrows and make the
bank thirty rods long, more or less, in
day, while the reduced amount of fvire
required and the shorter posts which
may be used will render this fence as
cheap as the one with five or six wires ON
level ground. The posts may be at least
one rod apart, if intermediate vertical
cross pieces with the lower ends nearly
reaching the ground are used, to which
the wires are stapled to keep them in po-
sition. Fig. represents the appearance
of such fence, and Fig. 3 is a cross sec
ton, the horizontal dotted line being the

fences will produce heavy drifts, the
winds passing through them sufficiently
freely to prevent the accumulation.

of horses in the United States in 1890 at
14,976,017. The states of Illinois, Iowa
and Texas report over 100000 EACH
Missouri and Kansas report 1000 each.
The increase of horses from 1880 to 1890

cent. between 1870 and 1880 and 1434
per cent. between 1860 and 1870. The
increase of mules from 1880 to 1890 was
1886 per cent; between 1870 and 1880
the increase was CLOS per cent, while
from 1860 to 1870 there was a decrease of
2.24 per cent. Of the aggregate number

ming and becoming torn by the points
Sometimes Il partial remedy is effected
in the one or two fence boards nailed to
the posts to render the line visible, but
these are liable to become loosened and
detached, and larger number of posts
is required to hold the boards.
For localities where there are many
small stones scattered in the fields, and
where it would be a positive advantage
to get rid of some of these in construct
ing Il small, loose riprap wall on the
line of the fence and under the barbed
wire, these become a visible and effective
barrier. Fewer wires are needed, three
being sufficient where five or six are re-
quired ON level ground. If the wall is
rather small, or if the barrier is to be
rendered stronger and more visible, two
or three burrows may be turned from the
foot of the wall. As no animals will
wish to crowd or lean against such a
wall less strength is required in the
posts; and the stones partly supporting
them, the post holes need not be dug so
deep, nor are very long posts required.
1t is hardly necessary to add that the
posts are to be set before the line of
stones is placed in position. Fig rep
resents such a fence.
In the absence of stones a small open
ditch on each side of the fence answers
equally well. The line of posts is first
set, and then several burrows are plowed

Improved Fruits of the Future.

1t seems probable that the list of
seedless fruits will be materially length
ened, provided our experimental horti-
culturists make use of the material at
their command. The common fruits
which have very few or no seeds are
the banana, pineapple and certain
oranges. Others mentioned by Mr..
Darwin as well known are the bread
fruit, pomegranate, azarole or Neapol-
itan medlar and date palms.
In commenting upon these fruits, Mr.
Darwin says that most horticulturists
''look at the great size and anomalous
development of the fruit as the cause
and sterility as the result" but he
holds the opposite view as more proba-
ble-that is, that the sterility, coming
about gradually, leaves free for other
growth the abundant supply of build
ing material which the forming seed
would otherwise have.
He admits, however, that 'there is
an antagonism between the two forms
of reproduction, by seeds and by buds,
when either is carried to an extreme
degree, which is independent of any in
cipient sterility. G. L. Good
