went TO the bakery out instead Of getting
the small pie he was given q ten cent pine
apple pie. He went to his homo across
the street elated over the fact that he had
gotten the biggest pie OF all for his cent.
He out the pie In two and gave half OF 1t
to his sister Annie. He did not like pie
crust so he gave that part to two other
sisters.
During the evening he became very dull
and during the night he was taken VIC.

Seed Wheat.

We know now for certainty that
great deal of the wheat rust is brought
on our farms through the seed, and the
spores Of tho rust are hold over from
year to year in the seed. Seed that is
taken from tho field where the rust has
been prevalent should always be subject
to the hot water test The seed we pur-
chase from seedsmen should also be
treated in this way, for we know not
how many rust spores may be in the
seed to begin growing when the favor
able conditions are given. The hot wa
ter test is the only sure way of killing
rust. If Gone properly, there is no dam
ger of injuring tho vitality of the seeds,
while all The spores of disease will be
thoroughly destroyed, writes an Ameri-
can Cultiyator correspondent.
