Preventing Smut In Oats.

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
1x pounds in % gallons of cold water,
while others were treated with the bor-
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 &. 12 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
soaking.

Shortened Roots.

The practice of shortening in the
roots Of young tree plants for trans
planting is pronounced sound both in
theory and practice by correspondent
of Rural New Yorker, who says: The
more the top is also shortened down,
the stronger will be the issuing shoot
the next year. When the top growth is
quite straight, or any one shoot of it,
leave that full length-a straight stem
being main object in the growth Of o
young orchard tree I have practiced
this regularly for 90 years past. taking
up all stocks that are to be transplant
ed, including even peach plants, in Oc-
tober and November.

Her Services During the War Rec
OgDized by the Nrw York Council.
At a recent meeting CT the New York
city council The following resolution
was un2nirI~.4sly adopted:
"Whercas. Hiss Helen COULD has ex-
hibitcd 10 tie city and tho nation at
large conspicuous example Of generous
patriotism by contributing 800, 900 to
the treasury Of the United States at
time when the resources of the country
were taxed to meet the expenses Of the
late war with Spain, and
"Whereas, Miss Gould has displayed
Euch practical aud womanly interest in
the welfare of our sick and wounded
sailors and soldiers by personal admin.
istration and generous helpfulness; /;
therefore be it
''Resolved, That the municipal assem-
bly, Of the city of New York now recog-
nizes her distinguished service to the
government and people of the United
States and directs the city clerk to con-
vey to her the assurance of its gratitude
and admiration.
Shortly after making her gift of
800, 600 to the government Miss Gould
became an active member Of the Wom-
ems National War Relief association,
which had been organized for the pur-
pose of assisting the soldiers in the
camps and hospitals. Miss Gould has
since been made assistant director gen.
eral of the association, and in the abb
sence of Mrs. Walworth, the director
general, has presided at most Of th.
meetings. One of her first acts after
joining the association was to visit the
hospital ships Relief and Olivette and
to offer to the surgeons in charge any
thing they might be in need of in the
equipment of the vessels. In some cases
her offers have been accepted, and sup
plies were put on board each Of these
vessels. Miss Gould also organized a
party to visit the hospitals in New York
harbor, and as result dietary kitchens
were established at several of them.
Miss Gould became especially interested
in the work at Montauk Point and has
made several visits to it. After each
visit she has personally supervised the
T1TIrahaao of runnlios for the oarnn That
she promptly realized the great demand
for relief work there was shown by her
gift Of $25, 900 to the association, which
she announced shortly after making her
second visit. With this money the work
has been enlarged, and an elaborate
system was recently put into execution |
for caring for the oonvalesoent soldiers |

CLIMATE COLD STORAGE.
Valuable Notes by Professor f. William
Rane of New Hampshire.

Valuable Notes by Professor II. William
Rsne of New Hampshire.
"The important question of supply
and demand does not seem to be studied
by the average agriculturist as much at
present as must needs be in the future.
We are aware that the business of
farming is of necessity changing to
comply with the great ruling factors al
ready mentioned, together with the
vital question Of cost of production. We
also must recognize the advantages
coming from these changes, one of
which is cold storage. At present cold
storage must be considered a great bless
ing to the country at large. Different
sections of the country are of course
differently affected. Where it is of ben
eft to one it may seem to be Of detri-
ment to another. Cold storage where
systematically conducted would tend
toward making various sections more
self sustaining"
So says Professor T. William Rane of
the New Hampshire Agricultural col
lege in an address read before the So
ciety For the Promotion Of Agricultural
Science. After enumerating methods Of
cold storage that are in general use Pro-

Don't Use Scrub Grain For Seed.

I have heard men argue that small
or shrunken wheat was best, for they
could get on more to the acre. You
might just as well breed stock from the
smallest scrub you have for the reason
that you can get more Of them in the
stable at the same time. A small
shrunken grain of wheat is scrub
grain just as much as runt pig is a
scrub and should be avoided as much
for sowing as the scrub pig is for breed
ing. A strong grain of wheat or corn
will bring forth strong stalk and
start it on is journey of life in much
better heart than will a small or weak
one.-Ohio Farmer.

To Clean Shoes.

Orange juice is an excellent cleanser
Of black boots and shoes. A slice of
orange should be rubbed upon the shoe
or boot, and as soon as it is dry should
be brushed with a soft brush until 1t
shines brightly. The inside of a ba-
mana skin will be found most efsaotive
for cleaning tan shoes, the skin beng
rubbed all over the shoe, which should
be carefully wiped with a soft cloth.
and then briskly polished with a fan
mel cloth. Patent leather boots of
shoes should never be touched with
blacking. They are the most difficult
of all boots to keep in good order, and
require constant care. A damp sponge
rubbed over them, and an application
of a little sweet oil or vaseline after
they have been thoroughly dried will
keep them soft and bright. and prevent
them cracking.

The lovely Marechal Mel rose owes
its name to the Empress Eugenle.
When General Mel returned from the
scene Of his triumphs over the Aus

him basket filled with exquisite yell
low roses. The general had cutting
struck from one of the blooms, and
when the rose tree from 1t had grown
he took it to the Empress Eugene.
She was charmed with the gift. but
when she asked the name of the rose,
she was told that it was unknown.
"Ah!" she said. II will give It name;
it shall be the Marechal Mel" By
this she conveyed to the gallant officer
that he had been made a marshal of
France for his services to the country,
as we'll as naming the lovely blossom.

A speedy Cure.

In ali out-of-the-way part of West
moreland, old farmer. we'll known for
his miserly habits, in order to save the
candles, used to give the farm hands
their supper in semi-darkness.
The laborers grumbled at this, but
the farmer took no notice. Things
went on much in the same way for
some time, till the farmer had occa-
sion to hire another Farmland, named
Tam Waring.
Tam. who was we'll known to some of
the other laborers as a wild and reck-
less sort Of character, and always ready
for mischief. was informed how mat
ters stood.
That night at supper, which consist.
ed of porrluge, Tam took his seat on
the right-hand side of the farmer. and
watching his opportunity, quickly
plunged a spoonful of hot porridge in
to the farmers mouth. The farmer
jumped up with a roar of agony. and
demanded an explanation.
"Weel, farmer" replied Tam, "it,s
sac daurk, All couldn't tell whaur All
was pittin' it. All thocht it was T. NV
ain mooth."
After that the farmer always took
good care to have the kitchen well
lighted.

State Troops Pay Roll.

Word from Harrisburg says that the
Adjutant-Generars department is
making ont the pay rolls of the late
National Guard, and it is expected
that all of the work will be completed
by next week.
Those of the Guard who were ac-
cepted by the government and enter
ed the volunteer service will be paid
up to the Gay they were mustered in,
while those who were at the camp and
did not enlist or were rejected will be
paid up to the time the order was is
sued sepding them to their homes.
Owing to the fact that the Guard
had real service camp, there will be
no encampments of any kind held
this year, and the money for that pur-
pose will be used to pay the expenses
Of the State incurred in calling the
Guard to Camp Hastings.
