meet government approval, is i New
Yorker in everything, but the actual
accident of birth. He was BON in
Dublin and brought to the United
States when only six weeks DID, His
mother was an Irish woman and his
father a Frenchman, who had to work
hard for the support of his family.
At thirteen he had to leave school and
was apprenticed to a cameo cutter He
spent his days at the bench and his
evenings at the Cooper Union art
schools in New York. Within three
years he had a reputation as one of
the best cameo cutters in that city
At nineteen, having saved some money,
he went to Paris to perfect his knowl
edge Of cameo cutting. But he had an
ambition to be an artist in a larger
way and entered the study of Jouffroy,
the sculptor, where, says the Adver-
tizer, he worked with an enregy that
made him favorite with his master.
The war with Germany interrupted his
studies and he went to Rome, where
he opened his first studio. There he
modelled a ''Hiawatha," which ex-Gov.
Morgan Of New York admired and had:
cut in marble. Then his success be-
gan. He made a bust of William NJ.
Evarts, and after that orders fairly
flowed in upon him. The Farragut1
statue in Madison Square, New York
city, was his first great public commits
sion. The critics at once pronounced
it a masterpiece, as they afterwards.

several. Mr.. Beecher is literary man,
but has never consented to take sutti-

work in this line. This brother of Hen

Prof. Willet NJ. Hays, of the Uniyer-
sity OF Minnesota, st. Anthony Park,
says, according to the report Of the
Chief State Inspector of Minnesota,
that 30 per cent Of the 1OO,OOO,OOO bu-
shells Of wheat marketed in the North
west in 1898, was smutty, and that
there is loss of two to twelve cents
per bushel on all this smutty wheat.
Taking the average of five cents per
bushel, this means loss to the farm
ers on 100000 bushels Of wheat Of
/ $1,5O0,O00.
Shrinking smut or ".bunt' on wheat
is the result Of parasitic fungus plant
Which grows inside of the wheat and
IS propagated by very minute spores.
rms Fungus grows into the wheat
| plant while the latter is very young
| The spores in terminating send minute
threadlike grOwths into the tissues Of
the young wheat. -.s
In relation to the treatment of seed
wheat, Prof. Hays gives the following
| remedy:
| dissolve one pound of hlue-stone
copper sulphate) in a pailful and q
half of water about three gallons) and
| sprinkle the solution on ten bushels
OF seed wheat, previously spread in a
! tight wagon box, or on a clean floor in
barn or house, keeping tile grain con-
stantly stirred while the solution is be-
ing applied, and mixing the whole
thoroughly so that every kernel of
wheat may be wetted. In a very few
hours the seed will be in good condition
to SOW with the drill. A good plan is
to apply the treatment in the evening
and SOW the grain in the morning.
II the water is used warm and the
Jumps of bluestone be broken, the solu-
ton may be made in a few minutes.
AS the solution Of bluestone lessons in
some degree the terminating power of
the wheat, and more so when it re-
mains long in contact with it, the safe
plan is to treat the seed but a short
time before sowing" As the solution
may not penetrate all .unbroken grains
OF punt in sufficient quantity to des-
troy an spores, thorough cleaning
should be practiced. BY using the full
power OF the fan or an ordinary fan
nlng mill most of these lighter "bunt"
grains will be blown out. Cleaning
pays Tor other reasons also. A very
lew quarts more of the treated seed
per acre should be sown. Druggists or
grocers can purchase bluestone Of good
quality of wholesale dealers in st. Paul
or Minneapolis so that they can sell it
10 farmers at about ten cents per
pound.
In dry spring weather some farmers
in the dry climate at Indian Head
were In the habit of making up the So
luton Of the strength mentioned and
then dipping the wheat in loose bags
into the solution and letting it dry in
the bags. In our moister climate this
would probably be injurious, as in
many instances the amount of water
absorbed by the wheat would probably
cause 1t to spoil unless spread out and
dried. >'>'

object), which brings the grate-rods
up, thus closing theentrance I, and ex-
Guiding the other fowls or such ami
mails as are liable to give annoyance to
the setting fowl. When the fowl at
tempts to leave the nest she will in
stinctively proceed toward the lighted
entrance, and in so doing her weight
will be transferred to the bottom board,
d, in a part Of the pivot, a, which
will cause the grating to fall, and thus
permit her egress. The lid of the box
is hinged for the purpose Of rendering
the nest-Sox conveniently accessible to
any person wishing to gather the

than practical.
