Recommended for the woodfOrds POST
al Station.

Postmaster Barker of the Portland
post office announces that the post office
inspectors who were here the latter part
of last week for the purpose of inspecting
the workings OF the newly established
postal station at Woodfords have at the
suggestion of Postmaster Barker with the
Endorsement of Congressman Allen,
made a report to the officials at Washing
ton asking that two more carriers be
allowed for service at once. The inspect
ors while here went over the ground
thoroughly and satisfied themselves that
the routes at present are too large for
the carriers, and accordingly have asked
for the appointment of tFo more carriers.
If the report Of the inspectors is accepted
as it seems probable that 1t VIII be- the
new carriers will probably be assigned
and placed on duty the first of August

Some Up-to-Date Hints About
,,vation Of the Soil and Ai'io'
Observation-Disclosures, Viticui'uFo
Horticulture.
Smut of Corn.

To the Farmers Review: VIVA.
,armer does not know corn-smut, tina
cankerous growth that appears IN ~.
cornfields every summer? But "n~'
farmer calculates the damage TINS us
ease does? The disease Is not con.
fned to the ears alone, out
lessons the yield Of the wnole pi""s
thus affected. This fungus does NV
gain access to the plant in the Salhe
manner as oat smut enters oats. Inc
spores of corn-smut terminate III INC
dew upon the plants and finds entrance
to the tissues of the part In a very
short time. Once within, they gro"
with great rapidly and often produce
the smut boils in three weeks from
the time they first enter. A rev lays
after these boils are produced they
break and give their seed-bodles OF
spores to the wind, which carries tnem
to new plants.
The most economical method OIL
fighting this disease is to cut OH n
burn all these smut masses before the
grey vail has broken. If taken at thls
time the chance of spreading the
spores is prevented. The operation
may be done in the early part OF the
season when the corn is being cultl-
waited, a box or basket being carried
upon the cultivator to hold the growths
removed. After the crop is laid by a
boy by visiting the field once a week
or ten days may easily keep the disease
in hand. When eaten, the vitality OF
the s~eed-bodies is not destroyed. IL
will therefore be well to have as little
smut in the fodder as possible. AND
this remark applies to slower and en-
silage. The manure in which the
spores fall seems to assist in tnell
termination and to carry infection tc
the field. For this reason, also, have
as little go to the stalls and feeding
pens as possible. Common opinion
says that corn-smut produces abortion
in COWS. Such, however, is not the
case, as has been proved by expert
hiCnI Will d AuiupOi VI PiO6h"N' 49,
milking COWS fed excessive doses o.
the growths. The general health anC
the milk yield were constant and reg
ular throughout the test. And If an
imals could stand these excessive doses
it is hardly likely that the quantitie!
obtained by COWS in ordinary case'
could be harmful. The smut contains
no ergotine nor other poisonous aka
loid, but resembles coarse folders il
composition. The cattle treated ate i
readily and in preference to grain. l
seems safe, therefore, to conclude tina
cattle under ordinary conditions viii
not suffer from eating this material.

with. 1t is we'll known that in the
body there is a perpetual disintegration
of housekeeping or waking. 1t is,
therefore, natural to believe that the
supply of nourishment should be some
what continuous, especially in those in
whom the vitality is lowered.
AS bodily exercise is suspended dur
ing sleep, with wear and tear corre-
spondlngly diminished, while diges-
ton, assimilation and nutritive activ-
ity continue as usual, the food fur
nished during this period adds more
than is destroyed, and increased weight
and improved general vigor is the re-
suit, says Woman's Life. If the weak
ly, the emaciated and the ~sleepless
were to take nightly a light meal OF
simple, nutritious food before going
to bed for a prolonged period, they
would be raised to a better standard Of
health.
1t has been our experience that, after
digesting a bowl Of bread and milk or
a saucer of oatmeal before going to
bed, for a few months, a surprising in
crease in weight, strength and general
tone has resulted.
