wheat and rye may contain seeds too
small to be noticed, unless by careful
inspection. Farmers who neglect to
destroy weeds may entail labor upon
an entire neighborhood, as some weeds
are easily carried to distances by
winds. An association among farmers
for mutual cooperation against the
spread of weeds would save thousands
of dollars in the labor required for
their determination.
Experiments With Timothy.-Prof.
Hopkins, of the West Virginia expert
ment station, has been making test
with timothy, and finds that there are
marked varieties of this grass, some Of
them early, some of them late, and
others showing great differences in size
and productiveness of seed. In a paper
read before the society for the promo
ton of agricultural science at it's late
meeting at Springfield, Mass, he show
ed that if pure seed of the early variety
could be secured it would be of special
value to grow with red clover, since it
would be at the proper stage for cut
ting when the clover would have the
highest value for hay. There is evil
IDENTIFY very much of practical value to
be learned from the study of grasses
and grass seed.
Preservation of Carrots. Tho carrot
does not keep well, except in cool
weathe", and even in winter more care
is requisite than with either the ruta-
baga or beet 1t is, therefore, we'll to
so adjust the consumption of the crop
that it be used up in season. The mar
row trench method of storing beets for
winter use is emphatically the one for
this root, above all others; do not trust
them in a cellar, even though it be
cool, nor in mounds piled two or three
feet high, as was, and is STILL practiced.
The methodical farmer will not be
alarmed at the injunction of caution;
he knows it is better not to attempt
anything which cannot be done we'll,
and, having once commenced a job, the
only economic course is to see it effect
ually finished.-Farmers Voice.

A LOVING KING AND QUEEN.

The devotion of the venerable king
and queen of Denmark for each other
is described as positively touching.
During the time of the queens illness,
which lasted something like three
months, no one about the court was
allowed to see her save her husband,
a lady in waiting and the physician In

his devotion. He rarely went out save

ing her what was going on in the
world outside.

Laying Tie.--In using the drains II
is sometimes absolutely necessary to
change the pitch of the drain but in
locating the drain in the beginning
such selection should be made as will
permit the change of pitch from
slower to faster current as shown in
the lower diagram of our sketch In
this case sediment will not be deposit
ed at the point where change of grade
is made, as it would be were the grade
changed as shown in the upper dag
ram. Here there is slackening of
the current and any silt in suspension
in the water will in part, at least. be
dropped at the point where the water
in the drain begins to run more
lowly.--American Agriculturist.

SHUTS In Grains. The Montana eX-
pertinent station sends out the follow.
ing conclusions on smut in grains:
Sinking smut attacks wheat only.
Loose smuts attack all of the small
grains, but that of the oat is most dam
aging. Clean seed, or that cffectually
treated for smut will produce a crop
free from smut, but an adjoining smut
ty field may cOntaminatc this grain
for next years crop. The only safe
guard is careful treatment before pant
ing. The disease in wheat may be en-
tircly prevented by thoroughly wetting
the seed in a solution of copper sui
phate, using eight ounces to gallon
Of water but this will lessen in some
degree the vitality of the seed. 1t may
also be effectually prevented, without
any damage, by immersion for IS min
utes in water raised to a temperature
of 1871 to 1876 degrees Fahrenheit. Dat
smut may be completely prevented by
treating the seed Is minutes in water
raised to temperature of 1920 to
1856 degrees Fahrenheit This treat
ment not only removes the smut but
promotes the growth and increases the
yield 1t may also be prevented with
out injury to the vitality by immersing
the feed "a hours in solution of
potassium sulphide, made by dissolving
pound of the sulphide in "a gallons
of water. The copper sulphate treat
ment, used for wheat, will effectually
kill the smut in oats, but will in some
degree damage the terminating power
of the grain.

That a drain may be permanent in
