Kelley The fact was there were only four
men In his list who were not protectionists
and after discussing the matter awhile he
said: That is not a finality by any means
IL is simply tentative, and will make the
committee so that IL will be satisfactory
He repeated the word tentative two or
three times, but / made UP my mind at

GreenInp potoeona

"Greening" potatoes is practical
among some of the peasants of Europe.
In this country we do not think a
greened potato is good for anything,
and SO we always keep them out OF
the light. If they are allowed to re-
main in the light and become green,
they become too strong in flavor to be
eaten. But it is said that such pota-
toes make good seed. The peasants put
them in a sunny place and they are
turned over every day till they become
fully green, after which they are
stored. 1t is said that potatoes so
treated do not sprout readily and will
stand greater degree of cold. They
are also said to be less affected by rot
In the spring their vitality is good
and they readily grow when planted.
However, the facts of these assertions
have yet to be demonstrated on this
side of the water, and it may be found
that there is no advantage at all in
the greening.

Nature of Corn Smut.

A publication of the Illinois Expert
ment Station says: Smut as it is com
monty called is plant; not, Of course,
one of the high forms like our flower
ing plants, but one very low in the
scale of plant life, belonging with the
grain rusts, moulds, toadstools, etc., to
class of plants called fungi. The
smuts belong with those that get their
food directly from other living plants.
SO they are called parasites, or para
site fungi. Everyone is acquainted
with the sooty masses that break out
on corn, known as corn smut. These
smut-balls are made up of the spore,
or seed, stage of the fungus. There
are millions of these very minute
spores in each of the smut-balls. The
earlier stage of the smut, concerned
with obtaining food, etc., is composed
of very small threads that spread
through the tissues of the corn plant,
and when the fungus is ready for
spore-formation they multiply rapidly
in certain places and change into these
smut-kalls. AS usual thing with the
SHUTS of our cereals. the fungus be-
gins it's development with the penetra-
lion of the terminating seed by it's
germs. IT,. fnngous threads grow
within and with tn lpthna no Ggns
Of the fungus is show red
eye until it begins to for res
into the dusty masses that Slpear on
special parts of the infected plant.
In this state besides corn smut there
are several others that occur on our
cereals. On wheat there is the com
mon loose smut that utterly destroys
the seed and its enveloping flower
parts; also one or two kinds of stink
ing SHUTS that fill the seeds with a
dusty mass of spores but do not
change their shape materially or de-
stroy the enveloping chaff. On barley
so far only one kind has been found
here and that apparently is not very
common. The only species on oats is
the loose smut that destroys the grain
after the manner of the loose smut of
wheat. On broom-corn there is smut
that occurs in the inner flower parts
forming seed like bodies filled with
spores. There is also sometimes found
on our grasses (timothy, bluegrass
and red-top) a smut that shows as
smutty lines breaking out on the
leaves.

main reasons for adopting this plan.
First. with the trees so close together

Individuality of the Cow.

The ability to utilize food and con-
vert it proftably into milk and butter
is quality of cows that varies with
individuals. The variation is in the
amounts of milk and butter which
different cows make from a given
amount Of food, and is spoken of as
the individuality of the COW. Among
both ordinary cows and cows of nure
breeds the variation in this respect is
quite remarkable, as illustrated to .
marked degree in the study of the
herd owned by the Connecticut Agri-
cultural College that was made during
the year 1898. According to this study
the COW with the best record produced
during the year 500 pounds of butter.
at profit of $42.S2, while during the
same time the COW with the poorest
record produced 172 pounds of butter.
at loss of $4.09. Even in a compari,
son of the five most profitable cows
with the five least profitable, the diff
ferences are still remarkable. The
former five cows produced butter at
an average of 400 pounds per COW for
the year, at an average profit of s31 .29;
while the latter five cows averaged
2lS pounds of butter each,- at an av-
erage profit of 81 cents. Similar dlf>
ferences in the individual qualities Of
different cows are observed in the
comparison of the production of milk.
These variations in the amount of but
ter and milk produced by Individual
COWS in this herd are not oxoan+;o,.,
The records of station herds where in
diyidual records have been kept show
variations fully as great as these.
