SMUT IN WHEAT.


Methods of Prevention Found Sue
cessfuI Mt OhiosExperimen station.
Loose smut is that noticeable at bios
soming time which destroys usually the
entire head. Sinking smut converts
the kernels of wheat into masses of dark
brown, i'll smelling fungus spores The
Ohio station has been successful in pre-
venting both of these smuts and recon-
mends the following methods:
In all the methods employed for
shrinking smut it is probably advisable
to immense the grain first in cold wa
ter, with stirring, and to skim off the
smut balls which will in this manner
rise to the top of the water. After this
is completed either of the following
treatments may be employed:
Hot Water -Immerse this SKINNED
seed, contained in gunny bag OF suita-
Bile wire mesh vessel. for ten minutes
in hot water at temperature of 1873 de-
grees f. Then dry on smut free surface,
cooling quickly by thoroughly stirring,
or cold water may be employed to cool

Formalin. This may be used at tho
rate of one pound to 80 gallons of water
and the seed treated by sprinkling OR by
immersion for 80 minutes.
For loose smut of wheat a modified
hot water treatment is as follows: Soak
the seed grain for four hours in cald
water, let stand four hours more in the
wet sacks. Then immense for five min

1873 degrees F. Spread at once on a

and flushed out every day, and are as
free from dirt and dust as hard wood
floors in well kept house. Each COW,
too, is groomed as sleek as a carriage
horse. A hint at the precaution in the
care of the cattle is suggested by a
placard stating that visitors are not al
lowed to handle or to feed the cattle,
while the supreme cleanliness which
pervades the entire farm is manifested
by a toilet room, with mirrors, set
washbowls and clothes lockers, where
men who milk the cows are required to
wash and don white linen suit before
entering upon their regular morning
and evening duty.
At the rear Of the largest barn is the
hospital, with several box stalls, and
comfortable looking straw beds for the
indisposed members Of that COW family.
To the right is the COWS kitchen, fur
nished with bins of grain and pans and
dippers, in which food is prepared.
Never on any occasion, said the guide,
is the food mixed by hand.
Another apartment, with two OF three
playful heifers and little calves, each
in her separate room, was pointed out
as the nursery.
The creamery is a separate building
from the barns, equipped with small
steam engine and the necessary ap-
paratns for chilling the milk, skim
ming, packing, etc.
Every morning and evening the milk
is brought in shining tin pals into the
receiving room. which is on the second
story of the building. The floor of this
room is covered with zinc to insure easy
and perfect cleanliness. At one end
there appear the tops of two immense
tanks, which extend to the room be-
low, having capacity of LOO quarts
each. These are surrounded by ice and
have central cylinder filled with ice
and in appearance resemble huge ice
cream freezer. The outlet from these
tanks is in the room below, where by
means of double line of spigots, at
tached to the flow pipe of each tank
as many as 20 quart bottles are filed
per minute. In one tank cream is al
lowed to rise on top, and is then taken
off by means of a skinner and flow
pipe inserted near the surface of the
milk. The milk that is filling the bot
ties for the city market is kept in mo-
ton, SO that the cream will not settle
and partially SKINNED milk fill some of
the bottles and then ID hours later call
forth the wrath of the city consumer,
who thinks he has right to rich milk.
Heavy cream that housekeepers call
for in the city market is that which is
separated by machine removing by
centrifugal force all the cream that is
in the milk.
Another zinc floored room up stairs
contains tank in which cream is soured
at regulated temperature, for the butter
making processes which go on in the
room below. Pipes from the tank above
connect with a box churn of 1900
quarts capacity. Steam is applied by a
belt from the engine, and the motion
which makes the butter is rotary. The
butter is worked by steam cone shaped
roller on circular tray and is wrapped
for shipping in finished squares of snow
white muslin. Print butter from this
model dairy is always made from the
milk of few especial COWS and retails
the year around in the city for so cents.

seeds and weeds.

The common practice of selling the
best clover and grass seed and saving
the screenings for the farm cannot be-
justified. The screenings contain mans
weed seeds that should not under any
circumstances be sown. and the pure
taed is usually small, inferior and OF
low vitality.

Applying Manure Direct From the
Barn.


Applying Manure Direct From the
Barn.
1t is my practice to get manure ON to
the land to be fertilized as soon after it
is made as possible and at the least ex-
pense. Nothing is added to the heap by
decay or handling. try to clean up
the premises every week or two, except
during February. when the snow is
very deep, as | do not believe in keep
ing barnyard manure corded up to heat
and become otherwise damaged. / do
not use a manure shed. Ordinary rain
storms will not do any injury. A cover
ed pile, unless looked after very care
fully, will heat and deteriorate. The
rains will promote decay, which is a
benefit. Most of the barnyard manure
will be spread on sod land intended for
corn. If my plan of hauling out each
week is followed. the best results the
following year will be noted where the
first load was applied. Spread at once
and do not place in heaps.
On an ordinary farm do not believe
there is any need of compost heap for
the sole object of causing weed seeds to
sprout. Manure from home grown feeds
does not ordinarily contain many weed
seeds. do not believe, however, in a
compost heap for material other than
the manure from the barnyard. To this
add all refuse from the kitchen which
the farm animals will not eat-ashes,
tops of vegetables, weeds and the like.
Cover the pile occasionally with dry
earth, which will prevent offensive
odors. Many CARLOAD of humus will
result from this heap, says Canadian
correspondent of The American Agri-
culturist.

PROPER CARE FOR COWS.

Features of Model Dairy Farm Near
New York.
In describing model dairy farm
near New York, the Brooklyn Citizen
says that at night the COWS are housed
in barns as neat as wax. In single
long barn there are two rows of 80 or
more stalls facing each other, with a
pathway between and at the back for
attendants. Just at $40 every afternoon
the COWS come through the bars to the
stables, each going to her respective
stall, which is indicated to the visitor,
if not to the COW herself, by the name
card above it. At the rear of the stalls
is trough with traps opening into an
earth pit below to receive all refuse
from the cow barns. These are swept

Bismarck's Intense Hate.

That Prince Bismarck was good

Herr Won Tiedemann, formerly chief of
the imperial chancellery. During the
first dinner at which Herr Won Tiede-

was quite as great a viyifier as love.

ENDORSES PLATFORM.

In accepting the nomination, unre-
servedly endorse and accept the platform
adopted by your convention. Its dec
laration that the constitutional direction
to impose taxes under general laws and
by uniform rules must be obeyed, is
Democratic doctrine. Public burdens
should be equally borne. Unequal taxa
ton is intolerable Its infection sub
stracts from individual rights and is
neither more nor less than robbery
under the guise of law In this mat
ter, as in all others, if 1 am sworn to up
hold the constitution, l will keep the
oath.
The demand that our State funds shall
be expended under rules of economy is
one that must be acceded to if the people
desire to avoid imposition of general
State tax and knowing that recurrence
to such tax canbe avoided, pledge to
the people of New Jersey that there
shall not, with my consent, be expended
single dollar of the public funds beyond
what shall be demonstrated to be absolu-
tely necessary to properly administer
economical government l accept and
indorse the utterance of the platform in
its promise for the protection of the in
terests of those who work for their liv-
ing, and promise every effort to make
effective our pledge to prevent unjust
discrimination by common carriers.
endorse your declaration of the ne
cessity of legislation to prevent the in
reference of the Judiciary with the pro-
vince of the jury in the assessment of
damages for the loss of life. l believe
that the State should encourage and pro-
tect the fund contributed by the school
teachers of New Jersey for their support
when they are incapacitated by age or
sickness.

WAR NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

The words of our platform against the
National mal-administration during the
late way well expressed the sentiments
of ever loyal citizen The memory of
those who gave their lives that the glory
of our flag might carry freedom to the
victims of opposition, is entitled to and
shall ever receive the tribute of our
grief They died that others might live.
Those whom their death deprived of
sustaining hands are entitled to the aid
of a grateful Nation. In the hour of
victory, when joy and grief are walking
hand in hand, it is saddening to reflect
that the incompetence of National Adj
ministration can truly be charged with
the death of more American soldiers
that can be credited to Spanish bullets
that the brave and true were starved
neglected and given over to pestilence,
has been established and it is the duty
of ever citizen to pledge himself against
forgetfulness : to vow, and keep his VOW
that he will not be content until official
murder shall have been exposed, tried
and visited with the lash of an outraged
Nation.
Mr.. Chairman, have accepted the
nomination so unanimously, and, fear,
so undeserved1y rendered, and | trust
that, with the aid of Divine Providence,
your action may inure to the benefit of
the commonwealth, In thanking you,
for you your kindly presentation,
ask; through you, that personal differ
ences within our ranks be laid aside, and
that the believers in the doctrines of
Jefferson unite, each entrusted with a
commission to aid in a common cause
each intent on winning a battle for the
right.

greeted with great applause.

BELIEVE IN THE GOVERNMENT.

This government was SUPPLEMENTARY
instituted, but its history and prepetua-
ton have proven the wisdom of its in
ception. / believe in its principles, in
its present demonstration of strength
and its future grandeur l believe that
the objective point of the government
should be the greatest good to the great
est number, and that the people least
governed are the best governed that
the law should protect the weak from
the aggression of the powerful; that
every statute should record the voice of
the people that public office is a public
trust, and that the true honor of Office
comes only from full and proper dis
charge of its duties.
So believing have found, and expect
ever to find my political creed written
upon the standard erected by Thomas
Jefferson. He who reads, studies and
following the creeds of Jefferson cannot
be untrue to the State.
