board, ID, vibrating IN a wire rod or

A cross-piece G., unites the ends of the

Automatic Gate Latch,

The object of this improvement Is TO
provide a fastening which shall give
support to the gate when closed so
that 1t cannot sag, which shall be Sc
cure against the accidental disturban-
ces of animals, winds, etc, and which
admits the gate to swing either way in
opening, the device being at the same
time simple and easily operated by the
hand.
In order to effect these results an
iron pin, A, Is fixed firmly in the outer
stile of the gate, from one to two inches
In length and three-quarters of an inch
In diameter. The rest B and the slot
ted latch G are SO placed with refer
ence to this pin that as the gate is
closed from either side the pin passes
between the two pieces, rising slightly
tsay o~ne-eighth Of an inch) on the rest
b, and pressing up the latch G until 1t
comes under the slot A, when the latch
returns to its place and the gate Is Sc
curely fastened. The latch G Is held IN
its proper position by means Of the rod
Il which passes through the guide B.
TO facilitate the easy opening of the
gate, the rod + rises to the ton of the
level Of the gate and Is bent In the form
of a loop, G, large enough to admit the
hand. Over this loop and concentric to

Prof. Winet NJ. Hays, OF the Univer-
sity of Minnesota, St Anthony Park,
says, according to the report OF the
Chief State Inspector Of Minnesota,
that 80 per cent of the 100000 bu-
shells of wheat marketed in the North
west in 1893, was smutty, and that
there is a loss of two to twelve cents
per bushel on all this smutty wheat.
Taking the average Of five cents per
bushel, this means a loss TO the farm
ers on 100000 bushels of wheat Of
S1,500,00O.
Shrinking smut" or blunt on wheat
is the result OF a parasitic fungus plant
which grows inside Of the wheat and
is propagated by very minute spores.
This 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.
In relation to the treatment of seed
wheat. Prof. Hays gives the following
remedy:
Dissolve n pound of blue-stone
"copper" sulphate) In a pailful and a
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 the grain con
stantly stirred while the solution is be-
ing applied, and mixing the whole
fhnrnurhJu ca that r-nrx lo,r -
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.
If 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 "bunt' in sufficient quantity to des-
troy all spores, thorough cleaning
should be ~practiced. BY using the full
power of the fan or an ordinary fan
ming mill most Of these lighter blunt"
grains will be blown out. Cleaning
pays for other reasons also. A very
few 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
to 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 1t dry in
the bags. In our molster climate this
would probably he injurious, as in
many instances the amount Of water
absorbed by the wheat would probably
cause 1t to spoil unless spread out and
dried.

No REGRETS.

A millionaire who was noted for his
eccentricity has died at Antwerp. NJ.
van Goulaken was one of the celebrities
Of the city Of Rubens, and his house
one Of the sights that was more anus
ing to the visitor than to the neigh
borhood. Van Goulaken had a special
antipathy for tram lines, and wien
they were laid down in front of the
house many years ago, he took an oath,
and registered 1t in a letter to the
authorities, that he would never have
his house cleaned or painted again.
The house was long a disgrace to the
fashionable quarter in which he lived,
but he regarded its dirtiness with a
grim satisfaction. In his will he has
forbidden his heirs to use the word
regret" in any announcement Of his
death.-London Globe.

A good cow with a poor keeper may

In New York recently butter was
selling at from sixteen to sixty cents a
pound. The first was made last June,
and perhaps was not the best and the
last was only twenty-four hours old.
The present demand Is for fresh but
ter, and this commands by far the best
price. 1t Is difficult to keep butter
very long and have 1t retain its best

fresh butter, farmers will have to
change their management and furnish
a supply as wanted at all times Of the
