VERY IMPORTANT TO FARMERS.
State University Experimental Station Sends out
the Following Information TO Farmers.

A PREVENTIVE OF DAT SMUT AND
POTATO SCAB.
! Loss to the farmers of Wisconsin due
to smut in oats amounts to hundreds of
thousands of dollars annually; practi-
cally all of this loss may be saved by
treating the seed oats before planting,
at very slight cost. All that is neces-
sary is to thoroughly saturate the seed
oats with a solution made by adding
one pound of formalin to 80 gallons of
water. To use this remedy, place a
layer of oats 3 or inches thick ON the
barn floor and sprinkle them with the
solution until they are entirely wet;
then another lsyer may be placed on
the first and prinkled as before, re-
peating the process until all the seeI
has been sprinkled; then leave them in
the pile for two hours, then sprea., out
thirly to dry. If they are to be sown
BROADCAST they need not be dried.
FoIInalin may be purchased at any
drug store, and costs from so to rs cents
a pound. About one gallon of the solu-
ton is enough to sprinkle bushel of
oats, hence one pourd of formalin is
enough to treat 80 bushels of seed oats.
Formalin is not dangerous to use.
The oats Will not be likely to be injured
by it, even if left in the pile somewhat
longer than two hours.
FOR POTATO SCAB.
The value of formalin as a preventive
of potato scab has been demonstrated by
several experiment stations The treat
ment is easily applied, and gives in most
cases a crop much freer from scab than
uutraatad seed and in soil free from, scah
germs, the presentation is generally COM
plete. Immerse the unsprouted seed
potatoes, before cutting, for two hours
in solution of one-half pound of form
lin in 10 gallons of water If the tubes
are deeply scabbed extend the time to 3
or hours After treatment cut the
tubes in the usual manner. The same
solution may be used 5 or times in
succession if the immersion is continued
little longer oacn time. Do not use the
potato solrtlon for oat rust, as it is too
strong. .or the oat solution for potatoes,
as it IS too weak.

ralbott & Palmer's stock Letter

By Private Wire from the New York Sun.
 New York, January 1.-The local stock market opened at substantial recessions in prices from yesterdays final prices. In many instances. however, the lowest prices of the day were made in. the initial trans- actions, and while during the early deal ings the market had someMhat feverish tone, it was by no means unsettled as it was yesterday. The local situation as re- sards developments of general appear ances furnished some evidence of a de- clded improvement. The days estimates of the probable shipments of gold on Sat urday averaged about three million. One of the most effective factors in the improving tendency of the market was the strength shown by all the Vanderbilt stock. in which New York Central was the conspicuous fea- ture.

STOCK MARKET U.
 WAS NOT ACTIVE Fierce Bear Attack by Prominent
 Banking Concern. EXCHANGE SUSTAINED IT After Considerable Variations the Mar ket Finally Settled and Closed at a Firm Advance ot Three
 and Five Points .z@5

= New York, January Awhile the market for cotton futures was not active today, it overcame an attack made by a prominent banking concern which has been until this week, recognized as bull leader.
 This concern made a fierce attack on the market late yesterday afternoon, and re- newed it early this morning, withdrawing late in the session. This concern sent bear ish telegrams by the thousand all over the country. Yet the market made stubborn resistance to the selling pressure that fol- lowed, and after opening steady at a de- cline of to points the course of prices was upward, at one time showing a net gain of to points. and finally closing firm at an advance of to points.
 In view of the prestige of the house re- ferred to, the insignificant response made to their bearsh predictions excited much comment reflecting inherent strength.
 The southern markets, with one excep- tion, all sustained former prices for spot cotton. This phase of the situation led to covering, especially as receipts at the port continued small scale and advices from the interior were not calculated to help matters. During the morning there was quite a good investment demand from the west and south. Europe traded on both sides of the account. The market in the afternoon was more active and firmer.

tenacious holdings of futures and reluc- tance to sell. There was some buying for account for the continent, but on the whole not much business was booked. The en- tire early loss was recovered in tho first hour Futures at Liverpool were 2 to 8 points lower. Spots 1-16 lower It will re- quire little patient waiting, owing to the change of front on the part of certain bull leaders, regarding whom all sorts of ru- mors are in circulation. Some are pre- dieting the continuation of high prices and think the market. will gradually ease off, while others believe the present selling movement Is simply a bluff for securing large lines at lower prices. About the most important development today was the fact that spot markets failed to break un- der the bear attacks, while holders showed no signs of yielding.
 . There was a very satisfactory outlook at the close and prices showed to points advance.
