Snl ut in Corn.

The Nebraska experiment station in
relation to smut in corn gives sum
mary in relation TO the same, as fol-
lows:
Corn smut is widely distributed
throughout this country and the old
world. The injury resulting from it's
attacks varies from a fraction of 1
per cent to more than half of the
crop.
Experimenters differ in opinions as
to it's harmfulness when eaten by cat
tie, but it is certain that it is not an
active poison.
The black powder of the smut con-
sists of the spores, which are simple
seed-like reproductive bodies. These
reproduce smut much as seeds repro
duce ordinary plants.
Smut spores may grow in manure
and liquids in the barn yard for an
indefinite period.
The smut enters the corn when it is
very young, penetrating the soft It's
sues of the lowest joint and the root
of the small plant
Smut does not pass from plant to
plant in the corn field.
Outward applications to the affected
corn plant will do no good, for the fun
gus is inside, and no application will
reach it.
Great care should be taken 10 keep
the ground from becoming filled with
spores.
BY a rotation of crops the increase
of smut may be prevented. 7rj7z.< 49,
. Domestic animals should not be al
lowed to eat the smut in the field, for
they will distribute the spores in their
droppings. =
Care should be taken not to contami-
nate yard manure with the spores.
Infected stalks should DE removed
from the field before the smut-balls
open, and then carefully destroyed.
Ilant none but seed which is per-
fectly free from smut spores.

milk is taken the milk from one herd is

still there is much difference. When

commonly used for cream. In testing,
the cream is actually churned, then the
butter is melted and measured. In
testing milk the case is "cut'' with an
acid and the Oil rises and is measured.
But each has it's own basis. The cream
test is measured by a scale which shows
the amount of butter the cream will
make. The milk test scale shows the
actual butter fat contents. AS Is OF 20
per cent of average creamery butter is
