There are two GLASSES Of smuis which
attack our common cereals, tue sinking
smuts which destroy only the kerneland
which have pfohounced disagreeable
odor, and the loose smuis which destroy
not only the kernel but also more or less
OF the chaif and which are more dusty
and loose. The sinking smuts occur ON
whea, only, while the loose smutn arc
found on wheat, oats and barley. Wheat
for instance, is attacked by three species

Tho two species are very similar aud can
usually be distinguished only BY the aid
Of microscope. The smuttod kernels

 The operation of salting is equally important To salt hides thoroughly water bucket full of good salt should be

FOR THE CHICKENS.

It is a great mistake to suppose, be-
 cause the chicken is small, that 1t
 needs to be fed wholly, or even mainly.
 N ith soft food. The plate of wet corn
 meal, left where the young chicks can
 get into it, trampling the food with
 their dirty feet, and then leaving most
 of it to ferment, as it is sure to do in
 the warm sunshine. is the cause of
 more mortality among very young
 chicks than any other one thing. The food even of little chickens should be as nearly dry as it can be fed con- yeniently. If corn meal is fed, mix it with milk curd until the curd be- comes ''crumbly" So soon as they will eat. give them hard boiled eggs chop ped very fine. Follow this with crack ed wheat or rye. When week or ten days old the chicks will eat either rye or wheat whole, and be all the better for it. The digestion of the chicken is naturally strong. If not weakened by feeding exclusively on soft food. Some sand or very fine gravel should
 be placed where they can get it. They will only eat what hey tneed. But with this gravel there is all the greater necessity for some hard grain for it to work on in the gizzard. Whole corn should not be given to young chicks. It is too large a grain for them to di- gest well, and it's heating nature makes it apt to ferment in their gizzard, as in- deed corn meal may do if eaten freely when digestion is impaired. Some whole small grain should always be fed to chicks while growing, and there is nothing better than whole wheat. The small ,shrunken grains that go ouI with the screenings in cleaning wheat are even better for chickens than the plump grains They are harder, have less starch and greater proportion of the nutrition that is required to pro- mote growth and make feathers American Cultivator.

COW PEAS.

Ehe COW pea has some points of ad-
 vantage among which, are, O great CT capacity to endure drsouth, (2) abil- Ity to grow on soils too thin to nour-
 lsh clever. (3) ability toipraduce large amount Of forage or green manure ir a few months.
 Cow peas are highly esteemed fol forage 1H many parts of Jne south They are pastured, cut green and fed
 as Solllng crop, and also cured as hay. Where they seed well they fur nish an excellent pasture for pigs, in
 which case the land is left in fine con- dition for subsequent crops. In this |state only the earliest sorts would pro-
 duce much seed. In the richer soils the tendency would be to run to vines Cow peas produce a very watery growth, and are therefore not easy to
 cure for hay, although they have the |advantage of maturing in the dry sea son of the year. -is'-
 Roth tops and roots are valuable tc fertilize the soil. Cow peas have, like
 clovers, very beneficial, mellowins effect on soils in which they grow, and
 when turned under they quickly re- plenish the store of humus and avail able nitrogen. It will doubtless be best to turn the crop under before the autumn If corn is to be grown the following spring, it will be well to SOW rye soon after turning under the pea vines, to prevent, alike, washing of soil and dissipation of the nitrogen stored in the vines. Two different years this station has plowed under good crops of COW peas that would not mature seed.
 Cow peas may be sown broadcast or in drills. The rate varies greatly. One
 bushel, if drilled, would doubtless be ample. The planting should. not be done till the ground becomes warm and all danger from frost IS past.
 The different varieties vary greatly in size, character of growth, and earli. ness. Some varieties produce short
