FEAR THE SOLDIERS.
Moonshiners Attending Court at Hunts vile Have Become Exceedingly Tame.

Huntsville, Ala, October 21.-(Special.)- The presence of so many soldiers has had a peculiar effect upon the moonshiners who are attending United States court. Hereto fore during the criminal weeks of the court the moonshiners have held high carnival. They usually moved about in droves and saw the sights, reserving comment until they returned to their mountain homes, where, around a jug of mountain dew" they related to wondering friends their ex- periences with red whisky, ring fakirs and electric lights.
 But this is all changed now. By daylight In the morning the usually festive moon- sinner has arisen and may be found in the back yard of his boarding house patiently awaiting his breakfast. Soon after the morning meal he goes quietly to the gov ernment building and seeks refuge on the second floor, where he remains until court convenes. When court adjourns he goes to ms lodgings and goes to bed Coon after supper
 The reason for the apparent reserve on the part of the moonshiner is a dread of conflict with the soldiers. One was heard to remark: "I seen a whole regiment of provost guards, and thought they wuz arter me, an I'm goin' to bed" When a coroor- aTs squad passes him the street he will turn and watch them until they turn a corner and then make a straight dash for his boarding house.
 Dlphtheria has been found in four or five homes of the city, and parents are greatly alarmed. However, last night there were only two cases in the knowledge of the county health ofIcer, and further spread is unlikely.

Speake, circuit judge of this district, has handed down a decision to the effect that the counterfeiters, Larson and Majors, who were captured by county officers in this city, should first be tried in this coun- ty before being turned over to United States officers.

REGENT BULLETIN
 ON AGRICULTURE
Of Interest and Profit to the
 Farmers of Alabama.
WAYS OF TREATING SMUT
Cause of Much Loss to Those Who Grow Oats in the United States Experiments With Seed
 Placed in Hot w ater.

Montgomery, October 21.-(Special)-The following recent bulletin of the Alabama agricultural experiment station will be of interest and profit to The Age-Herald' readers throughout the northern half or Alabama and in the states contiguous:
 "Smut is the cause of much loss to those who grow oats in all parts of the United States We have seldom noticed in Ala bama a field of oats not treated for smut in which the injury due to smut could be estimated at less than per cent. of the crop. In one locality, visited just before the last crop was harvested, no field was seen in which the loss could be estimated at less than 20 per cent, and in some felds it was evidently more than forty per cent.
 "There are several methods for treating smut. The one which is used on the sta tion farm with entire success, and which is believed to be the cheapest and the best for our conditions, is the Jensen treatment This consists in keeping the seed oats in hot water at a temperature of from l5o to 1855 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 to 15 minutes The temperature kills the spores (so-cal ed 'seedD of the fungus which produces smut, but does not interfere with the germination of the oats
 An experiment to determine the amount of injury from smut was made on two plots of oats sown on poor sandy land February 12, 1895. Equal quantities of seed oats were weighed out for the two plots. The seed for one plot was then placed in water at temperature of 130 to 1S5 degrees Fahrenheit for ten minutes. The yield of oats was Is. l bushels per acre with seed not treated, and 14.2 bushels with scalded seed This is a gain of II bushels per acre or about per cent. obtained at the cost of only few minutes labor.
 "A careful count was made of the sound and smutted heads grown on measured ana equal areas on each plot The average re- suits showed that on the plot with seed not scalded 59 per cent. of the heads were de- stroyed by smut. Not single head of smut could be found on the plots sown with treated seed. The gain in yield was even

greater than the number of diseased stalks would indicate. This represents general truth, namely, that the average farmer Is apt to underrate the amount of injury done by smut, failing to notice many of the dis eased stems, which remain dwarfed and in conspicuous, or to allow for grain which, though apparently sound is light, as the result of smut. As estimated above. the loss in Alabama oat fields due to smut is generally greater than that noted in this experiment, where comparatively clean seed was used.
 By treating all the seeds for few years in succession, and sowing grain only on fields where smut has not recently devel- oped, the seed grown on the farm will be- come so free from smut-spores that scala ing will in time become unnecessary. The value of the treatment given above has been conclusively proven in many experi- ments in number of states. The treat ment is rendered easier by the following ar engagement for heating the grain:
 Have a vessel for heating water and three tubs or barrels. In tub No. 1 main- tain the water at a temperature of 110 to 120 degrees fahrenheit; in No g. keen the water at 130 to 135 degrees, adding cold or hot water, as required, and in No. 8 keep cold water. Dip the sacks of oats for a few minutes in tub No. 1, the sole purpose of which Is to prevent the cold oats from go- ing immediately into tub Mo- 2, and there by reducing the temperature too low.
 From tub No. 1, carry the sacks of warm oats to tub No. 2, keeping the oats sub merged there and occasionally stirred for ten or fifteen minutes. Then dip the hot oats into cold water, or immediately spread them to cool. Only the one vessel having water kept continuously at 130 to 1855 degrees is absolutely necessary The other two are simply conveniences to hasten the work. An accurate thermometer is absolutely necessary. No guess-work is admissible A good floating dairy thermometer" can be obtained from large drug stores, or from dealers in dairy goods, at cost not exceed ing 50 cents.
 This cheap thermometer should be com- pared with more expensive one to see that it is accurate. If the floating ther- momter varies by degree or two from the standard, due allowance can be made for this when using the former.
 Two men in an hour can treat several bushels, usually three to four bushels where grain is handled in one busheI sacks, or larger quantities in proportion as the sacks and hot water vessels are larger. The cost for labor should not at current rates, exceed 8 cents per bushel, or not over 5 cents per acre. In return, gain of from one to eight bushels of oats per acre may be expected. The scalded oats may be sown as soon as cooled, or they may be dried for later sowing, by being spread out in thin layer and stirred, or by adding any drying material, as sand, dust, etc.,
