ONE OF the most serious charges
that have been made against the
present state grain inspection de-
partment, is that by their so-called
liberal grading OF wheat, eastern
and foreign buyers refuse to accept
the grades, and will purchase only
from samples. If the former state
inspector erred in being too strict,
the present one has erred in being
800 lenient in his inspection, and in
the latter case the injury to the
farmer will be greater. When faith
in the honesty and stability OF wheat
grades is shattered, the system of
inspection can be Of very little pro-
lection or benefit to the farmer. In
this instance, also, the old truth
that value can not be created by fiat
is forcibly il ustrated. \ lot OF No.

The question OF hail insurance is
one that is brought to the attention
of the farmers with every returning
season. There are "old line COM
panies and "mutuaf' companies
that make a business OF lnsuring the
farmers crop against hail. Hail in
surance has been tried by many
farmers in Marshall county. Now
the SHEAF would like to hear from
farmers who have tried one plan or
another what their experience is,
and what benefits they derived when
their crops were damaged. Write

Sow Clean Seed.

wheat:
Sow Clean Seed.
Our Northwestern farmers are near
ly all alive to the great advantage of
sowing good seed-that is proven by
the quality Of wheat they market
very few of them, however, are care
full enough to have the seed thor
oughly cleaned.
Well natured and thoroughly clean
seed, is, as a rule, to be had so easily
that there seems no excuse for sowing
weed seed or poor wheat.
Selection of Seed Wheat.
1. Light, shrunken or weak seed
of any kind should never be sown, if
a full yield is desired. It makes no
difference how the injury to the seed
is brought about, whether by hot
winds, wet weather, frost, animal or
vegetable parasites, 'burning' in the
stack or bin, or any other causes. If
inferior seed be sown, a good crop
cannot reasonably be expected.
2. The best and only safe varieties
for the practical farmer to SOW for his
main crop in any given locality, are
those that have already proved them
selves adapted to that locality, or tc
some other locality having like con.
ditions of soil and climate. This seed
should have been produced under
conditions of soil and climate as near
as possible like that of locality where
the seed is to be sown.
3. Continuous growth of wheat on
the same kind of soil or under like
climatic conditions, does not cause
degeneration, but on the contrary, il
proper care is taken in culture and
seed collection and the seed be kept

able seed near home, or when some
new variety is to be tested, which
latter should always be done on a
small scale at first.
SHUTS Of cereals are caused by
minute parasitic fungi, and the
black, dusty masses which replace
the heads and kernels of grain, form
the ''smut balls.''
These seeds are very minute and
blow about, and adhere to the kernel
before it is planted. When the ker.
mel sprouts, the black spores, or smut
seeds, also terminate and send deli
cate threads into the young Seeding
These threads follow the growth of
the plant and fill the head or kernel
as soon as formed, and there develop
a mass of spores or smut seeds in
stead of wheat kernels.
A careful estimate seems to show
that one-fifth of all the wheat raised
in Minnesota and the Dakotas is low
cred one grade when it is marketed
by reason of smut. One-fifth is about
forty million bushels--and the loss
on each bushel is certainly two cents,
which makes eight hundred thousand
dollars lost to our farmers and prin-
cipally to North Dakota farmers-for
here most of the smutty wheat is
grown. The above seems to us to be
a very conservative estimate. We
know that the loss is frequently five
and sometimes ten cents per bushel.
Do Not Sow Smutty Seed.
There are several methods of treat
ing seed wheat to free it from the
smut spores-the treatments most in
use being with blue stone, lime, hot
water and formalin. We will de-
scribe any of these methods when re-
quested to do so. The value of
formalin, or formaldehyde, for this
purpose first made known by Pro-
fessor H. L. Bolley, of the North
Dakota Experiment Station), has, we
think, proven to be the most satisfac-
tory medium so far discovered. It is
used as follows: Make a solution OF
formalin, using at the rate Of one
pound to IS gallons Of water. Put
the wheat in pile on the barn floor
Sprinkle the pile thoroughly with the
solution and shovel over. Leave the
grain piled for two or more hours and
then repeat the sprinkling and SHOW.
cling process until you are quite sure
that all the grains have become wet
when the wheat may be sacked OF
piled until the next day. 1t is an ad
vantage for the grain to be kept II
the pile over night after the treat
ment, because the chemical has better
opportunity to attack the smu
spores. The drill should be set t<
SOW more of this swelled seed thar
you would SOW if dry. One can de
termine how much by measuring be
fore treating, and again when read,
to seed. Formalin is said by chem
lists to be non-poisonous. Formalil
and formaldehyde are the same.

prepare for seeding. Clean and sacl

\ Puma Story From Paraguay.

The puma or mountain lion of the Andes
is naturally an affectionate and harm
less animal, and is often domesticated.
and some of the ranchmen in Patagonia
and Chilli often tame them and train them
for watchdogs. An extraordinary story
is told of the tyrant Francia, Jesuit
priest who ruled in Paraguay for many
years, and was notorious all over South
America for his cruelty and craft. 1t is
said that Francia once had a woman
chained to a tree in the forest where
she would either starve or be devoured
by wild beasts. After she had been
out about ten days he sent scout to
see what was left Of her, and, much to
his establishment. it was found that she
had been fed and protected by two pu-
mas. male and female, and had suffered
in no way except from exposure and
fright The pumas brought her raw
meat from the animals they had killed
and slept by her side each night like
watchdogs.
