Preventing Smut In ua1s.

In the report of Director William
Saunders of the central experimental
farms of Canada occurs the following
concerning smut in oats: Further exper
iments have been made during the past
season in the treatment of seed grain to
prevent this troublesome disease. In the
annual report of the experimental farms
for 1896 details are given of tests made
with three varieties of oats which were
soaked in solution Of potassium sui
phide for "a hours, and in every instance
where the grain was SO treated, although
the seed used was very smutty, the crop
was practically free from smut. Dur
ing the past season one variety only
was used, the Doncaster Prize oats, and
this was the worst affected with smut
of any variety we had. The seed used
in this test was from the untreated
crop of last year of which about one
fourth of the heads were diseased.
Different portions of the seed were soak
ed for varying periods in a solution of
potassium sulphide made by dissolving
d pounds in 20 gallons of cold water,
while others were treated with the Dor
deaux mixture made by dissolving four
pounds of copper sulphate with four
pounds of lime in 40 gallons imperial
measure of water.
From the experiment it would appear
that smutty oats soaked in bordeaux
mixture for four hours are rendered as
free from smut as if soaked for 8, IL or
"a hours, but where potassium sulphide
is used it appears to be necessary to
steep the grain in the solution for "a
hours in order to entirely free it from
smut. While the solution of potassium
sulphide seems to be reliable remedy
for smut in oats, provided the grain is
stepped in it for "a hours, the bordeaux
mixture is cheaper remedy. more
easily obtainable and appears to be
quite as effective with only four hours

BLANcHING CELERY.

Plants Intended For Early Use-The Late
Fall and the Winter Market Crops.
An article by W. NJ. Munson upon
the culture of celery forms part of the
last annual report of the Maine station.
In it occur the following items: The
old custom of repeatedly handling, "
or packing, the earth about the growing
plants has given way to more expedi-
tious methods. and it is generally con-
ceded that one chilling" before the
final banking with earth is sufficient.
This killing should not be done till the
plants have thickened considerably,
about a month or six weeks before
using, as after the earth is drawn about
them the leaves grow tall very rapidly
without increasing in diameter.
When ready to hill the plants, cult
waite deeply between the rows, then
draw the soil loosely about the plants
with hoe or a scraper made for that
purpose. This operation makes slight
bank not more than one-t third the height
of the plant, which straightens the stalks
and holds them in an upright position
If the soil is in good condition, it will
be unnecessary to pack the earth around
individual plants by hand.
Blanehing is the first step toward de
cay, and the exclusion of air and light
and the consequent abnormal condition
of the tissues render the plants during
this operation specially liable to disease.
For this reason the operation is delayed
as long as possible Plants intended for
the first use are generally banked about
eight or ten weeks after transplanting.
For bleaching the early crop the use
of boards is preferred to that of earth.
The work is done more expeditiously
and there is less trouble from rotting.
The method consists simply in placing
boards about a foot wide along each
side of the row with one edge close to
the plants The men then go along and
raise the boards to vertical position,
placing clamps or hooks at intervals to
hold them in place. A very good clamp
is made by saving two notches about
an inch wide and three inches apart in
short piece of board. These clamps
will then hold the boards perfectly
rigid. In ten days or TWO weeks the Gel
cry will be ready for use, and the boards
are then available for use elsewhere,
thus keeping up succession.
If banking with earth is to be prac-
ticed, one of the machines made for that
particular purpose will be found of ad.
vantage.
Celery intended for winter market is
not usually blanched before putting into
storage. though it is we'll to hill it up,
to straighten up the leaves and make
the plants compact. That intended for
late fall use will of course need some
attention, as from four to six weeks are
required to blaneh the later crop. For
use before hard freezing occurs the
blanching may be done with boards, but
for later use earth is to be preferred.

Tax on Property.


''It should be observed further that a
tax on property as such, while general
ly equitable, may sometimes involve
serious inequalities. Assessed valuation
does not always vary in accordance
with net profits. Besides, under sys-
tenn of mere property taxation, many
persons of large earning capacity, but
who make no accommodations, would
escape altogether. Why should doctor,
lawyer, railroad president. lecturer,
opera singer or congressman having an
income of So, 900 per annum, which
represents capitalization of 800, 900
at per cent, pay no tax on his gains.
while the property owner must pay
taxes on his property, which taxes must
generally come out of the gains of the
property? But our purpose at present is
not SO much to contrast the income tax
with the property tax as with the tax
on consumption, that being the only
States.
adam Smith, the father of modern
political economy, enunciated the cor
rect principle when he wrote:
The subjects of every state ought
to contribute toward the support Of the
government as nearly as possible in pro-
portion to their respective abilities
that is, in proportion to the revenue
which they respectively enjoy under the
protection of the state.
when citizen pays taxes accord
ing to his income, from whatever source
it may be derived, he is giving support
to his government and receiving protec-
tion from it in a manner more nearly
approaching perfection than under any
other plan yet devised If bis gains in
crease his tax increases, and we'll it
may, because be is better able to pay it.
If his gains decrease, so does his tax,
and fortunately for him because he is
less able to pay it,
