Corps he expressed the Indebtedness of the

borne in touching the springs Of patriotism.
In the course OF the address Mr.. Hough
read the first of the following original po-
ems, and the second was read at the con-
ousion:
The hand that crushed the flag with bars,
And lifted up the stripes and stars
To fly forever DER the land,
Give me that hand.
The hand that drew the Union sword
In answer to great Ltncoln's word ora
Give me that hand
The hand that freed the fettered slave
And laid rebellion In its grave
Our lasting homage shall command
Give me that hand.
IT'S not enough to praise the dead,
Or deck their graves with flowers,
The spirit OF the war Tors fed,
Must enter into ours.
We sons of veterans, in whose veins
The fathers live once more,
noble work for you remains,
To guard the flag they bore,
And answer to the bugle call
r They heard with heart serene,
And take their places when they fall
And keep their memories green,
That meath the flag for which they fought
Through dark and fateful houIs,
No veterans name shall pass from thought,
Or grave lie without flowers.
And these relief corps blessings are,
Their good deeds never cease,
For wOman's heart so true in war
Beats no less true in peace.
IT'S yours to minister, unseen,
To those who fought and bled,
And stand like angel guards between
The living and the dead.
God bless the veterans noble band
Their sons, all manly types,
And the relief corps through the land
God bless the stars and stripes

The Case Strongly Stated.

Rev. B. Fay Mills, prominent in
evangelistic work, is pronounced on
the prohibition question. Listen to
him. Il would like to give a little
sermon on temperance, and / would
like to make it so plain that every
body could understand. Sometimes a
person will insult me by asking me
which side of the temperance or pro
hibition question | am on Which
side am on! Well, you 60 to the
drunkards and thieves, and burglars
and gamblers, and saloon keepers and
the makers of the accursed stuff, and
find out which side they are on, and
then put me down on the other side.
Why is it that these accursed saloons
exist todayl Because men worship
the god of hell. Suppose a man should
come here today and take one of your
fairest and brightest children, and by
making a few passes over it convert
it into an idiot; the whole community
would be after him. Millions of dol
lars would not induce you 20 licenze
him to do such thing if he could do
it in ten minutes, and it is only ques-
ton OF five years, or possibly ten or
twenty, and you will allow him to do
that very thing, and for only paltry
few hundred dollars. z

Preventing Smut on Wheat.
UNIVERSITY or WISCONSIN,
Agricultural Experiment Station

UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN,
Agricultural Experiment Station,
Madison, Aug. 2Sth, 1891.
Two distinct species of smut attack
wheat. In the "black smut" the en-
tire head is changed to black dust.
In the "stinking smut" or blunt, " the
smut is inside the kernel.
In order TO have a crop of wheat
free from smut, both the soil and the
seed must be free from smut spores.
Wheat should not therefore follow a
smutted crop of wheat for one, or bet
ter for two or three years, and manure
from the straw from a smutted wheat
field or from stock fed ON smutted
straw or grain should not be used on
land intended for wheat. Seed wheat
known to be free from smut may be
safely used without treatment; other
wise the seed should be treated before
sowing.
For the treatment, dissolve ten (l0)
pounds of sulphate of copper, also
known as blue vitriOl and blue stone,
in eight (S) gallons of wather placed
in tub of convenient size. AS this
substance dissolves rather slowly, it
is well to add it to the water the day
before it is desired for use. Pour as
much Of the seed wheat into the solu-
tiOn as the liquid is able to cover read
lily, and stir until every kernel has be-
come thoroughly wet. Whatever
rises to the surface should be skinned
off. Then pour off the solution into
second tub. and spread the wheat on
a floor to dry. More grain may then
be added to the solution, and the pro-
cess repeated until all has been treat
ed. The grain should not be permit
ted to remain in the solution longer
than five minutes.
II has been found that the treatment
/ here described Injuries to some extent
the terminating power of the seed,
and experiments have shown that ii
wheat thus treated is afterward i'm.
mersed for short time in lime water,
this damage is largely averted. 1t is
recommended, therefore, that all
wheat treated TO the solution of blue
vitriol be sprinkled with air Stacked
lime as it is removed from the liquid
and then shoveled over sufficiently to
thoroughly coat each kernel with the
lime dust. This will prepare the grain
for sowing without much further dry
ing. If the Stacked lime is not al
hand, land plaster or road dust will
hasten the drying equally well.
As the wheat will swell somewhat il
consequence of being wet. the amount
sown per acre should be slightly in
creased.
The above treatment is not new
but description of it has been called
out by correspondence of this Station

The State Fish Hatchery.

0laNC ISL
The new Matching house at the state
fish hatchery is one of the most COM
plete buildings of its kind in the
world. It will be finished in few
days, when the water will be turned
into the Matching watts and everything
will be in readiness for work. The
building has been constructed after
plans which have been approved as
furnishing the best possible facilities
for the purposes required of it. The
structure is two stories high. The
lower floor will be devoted to the
hatchery, while it is the present in
tentiOn to turn the upper floor into a
museum and laboratory. The build
ing is well lighted and ventilated and
will be well equipped for the work of
the hatchery.
Superintendent Nevins says that
Notwithstanding the fact that the
hatchery furnished 7,000,0 900 trout fry
the past season the supply was not
near up to the demand and 500 orders
are on the books untitled for this rea-
son.
1t takes l,l00 to l 200 pounds Of
meat to feed the fish every week. 1t
is very interesting to watch the oper-
alton of feeding the chopped liver and
lights which form their food. As the
meat is thrown into the water the fish
jump over each other in their efforts
to get at it and the water is dashed in
to foam.
Wisconsin's hatchery now furnishes
more fish than any other in the world,
and ranks first in Importance in the
United States.
