For this are required two large kettles over
a stove. and good thermometer. Have al
so a perforated vessel or a Wire vessel. to
hold say one-half bushe of wheat In the
first boiler keep the water at a temperature
of from 10 TO $50 degrees and in the otner
at 1872 to 1873 degrees, never below 1870 de-
grees lest the spores be not killed. nor
above 1855 degrees. lest the wheat be IN
jured Place a charge of grain in the per-
forated vessel Cor basket and SINK 1t INTO
the first boiler; raise and lower it several
times so that it may all become wet end
equally warm. Then remove it from the
first boiler and plung it into the second
where 1t should remain for fifteen min
utes keeping the temperature above 1872
degrees, and then plunge into cold water
Oats may be treated in the same way, but
they need not be plunged into cold water,
but simply spread out to dry after re-
naming in the second water only ten min
utes
If treated as directed and There be no
spores of smut in the soil or in the ma
nure applied, there will be none in the
crop when gathered.
Moon Blindness.
]. r. G., Jalapa. Tenn have a morse
that is eight years old; his eyes are al
fected caused by overhead and fed TOO
much corn. His eyes seem to lnfiame at
times and will stay that way for a week
| would be glad if you Will give me
remedy through your paper.
Answer-The fact that his eyes lnflame
at times and stay that way for week
and then get well is a good indication that
he has specific ophthalmia, or what Is COM
monty called moon blindness. In this dis
ease one attack, affecting either or poth
ewes usually continues about a week or ten
DAYS and then subsidies and then comes on
again in month or Each attack
leaves the eyes in worse condition ana
finally blindness results. The disease IS
not durable 1t is a specific blood disease
and to a large extent hereditary. 1t is often
developed in horses subject to it by pastur-
ing young colts in damp, low pastures
teething feeding too much corn, etc
BY proper treatment during the recurring
attacks as well as careful avoidance OF
the above causes the sight may be pre-
served for a long time and the horse may
die of old age before going blind. But
they usually go blind" before they are
nine years old, and often much earlier.
When an attack is coming on place the
animal in dark stable with pure, dry air.
Give a purge of one ounce of aloes ana
one ounce OF ginger. Make a lotion of
twenty grains of acetate of lead, twenty
drops Of extract of beiladonua and one
quart of wafer. Wet a rag with il and
hang it over the eye, or each eye If both
are affected After noon wet the rag with
Il lotion of twenty grains of Sulphatc Of
Zine twenty drops of tinCture of Caldbdr
bean ana one quart of water. In other
words change from one lotion to the other
twice day.

alarmed over the appearance of the boil
worms in cotton fields and already vast
injury has been sustained. Samples of
hollis exhibited here today show they have

ton of the green shell or covering. In
many fields the yield will be cut off one ne,

The south has something to learn Of the
north in this, and both have much 70
learn of what true democracy consists. On
the other hand, northern thrift and zeal
In it's pursuit of wealth may well be tenn
pcred BY the slower and calmer pace Of
the south. The north needs to cultivate
leisure; the south needs to cultivate thrift
The exchange of these virtues which each
have in excess will result happily for
both.

to price and hauling. One two-horse wa
rCn can haul enough ingredients at one
cad to make four tons The same wagon
would have to make eight trips 10 maui
it ur tons OF the ready prepared.
Answer-We do not know what form of
potash is meant by tie word potash IN
the formula, but assume that muriate of
potash Is intended. If so, then the total
weight OF the ingredients would be about
2S00 pounds and it would contain about
tho following percentages of the three
valuable Ingredients:
Phosphoric acid -. . :. . =. ZOO per cent
Potash :. -. -. -. e. =. ..0.40 per cent
Nitrogen -. -. -. 80. see. 100 per cent
The Notwithstanding the ashes and
salt-would probably cost about Sill, and
a ton of the compost would be worth about
So or Sc, and would be equal in effect on
q crop to about one-third Of ton or orul-
nary guano. provided it were properly bal
anced which is not the case, as IT Wouiu
be very deficient in phosphoric acid. The
relative promotions of the acid and potash
are very proper On the whole II Is an
unscientific formula. The salt ana plaster
are Of but little practical value, the rich'
dry eart&l" practically none. 1ou coul" not
afford to dig up and load into wagon
the richest soil in Georgia ana maui II NV
yards and distribute it.
All the ingredients can stu be bought
if applied for at the right place. Ihe nj
trate of soda, from Coweta Fertilizer COM
pany, Newman, Ca, at $50 a ton; the raw
bone probably Of KennesaW Guano Com
pany, Atlanta, Ca, at $50 to $35 per ton;
the sulphate of ammonia, is too high-Driced
to be used as a common field fertltlZer.
If muriate of potash Is meant by pot
ash" it can also be had of the CoWeta
company at $50 per ton. Land plaster l3 no
longer used in the south as such, because
every acid phosphate is one-half plaster Tor
sulpGate of lime). We advise farmers to
let alone such recipes. They have had
their day, some years ago.
Do Peanuts Cause Sterility IL EoGst
J. A. H., Mnter Aia.--I have heard It
asserted that feeding on pindars would
iriure or destroy the breeding qualities Of
hogs. Please let me know at once if this
- true.
Answer-We do not remember to have
heard 1t claimed that peanuts fed to swine
would cause sterility; but we are not sur
rrioed at il, because, first and last, most
of the ordinary foods have had some SINH
lar serious accusation. High feeding on
any kind of fattcning food, such as pea
nuts corn, etc, may produce lymphatlc,

favorable to breeding. We presume this
fact has caused the notion TO get abroad

Answer-Your fowls have what Is known
as American fowl cholera, or. for short,
chicken cholera. There IS no specific cure
for genuine cholera. It does not pay 10

disease The only thing you can do is to
get rid of the disease from your premises
and afterwards carefully guard against the
re-introduction of the disease by germs
brought to your premises from injected
fowyards.
The fowls that are sull healthy should
be removed to an entirely new and whole
some locality The dead carcasseS should
be burned or buried very deeply In the soil
burning is best Even the droppinSs
from the diseased fowls should be either
burned or thoroughly disinfected 10y mixing

bout Marjorie entered one OF the
pews. and. falling on her knees. prayed
silently.
How long she remained there she did
not know; hand laid gently upon her
shoulder recalled her to herself, and
looking up she saw her lover.
Come. Marjorie" he said; come, my
love"
She rose from her knees; he put his
arms about her and led her away.
What followed seemed like dream.
She was only dimly conscious Of walk
ing up the broad aisle and taking her
place before the altar rails. She saw
as in mist the clergyman in his white
robe, and a man and woman who
were complete strangers. She was con-
scious of the service being read, OF Civ
ing her responses, OF her hands being
clasped, and of ring being put upon
her finger. Then she was led away
again; she was in strange room, she
signed her name, and as she laid down
the pen, Caussidiere claSped her in his
arms and kissed her.
'My wife, he said.
Yes. it was all over; the past was
done with, the future begun. Marjorie
Amman had been by that simple csre-
mony transformed into Marjorie

The ceremony over, the wife and hus-
band returned to the inn, where they
had private luncheon.

was awaiting her, and drove away by
her husbands side to the railway sta
ton.
