Thus oftentimes clean crops are credit
ed to the vitriol when there was no
smut on the seed to kill. However,
a very smutty threshing machine may
come along the next year and resumt
all his clean wheat and then his trou-
bles begin again.
"Vitriol can be used in such way
that it will kill the smut. To do this
it is necessary to use a very weak
solution Il pound to "a gallons OF
water) and to treat it for very long
time III hours.) The swelling of the
wheat, which results with our soft
wheats and the long time necessary
for the process, makes this method
prohibitive for the farmer who grows
much wheat There is a method OF
treating with hot water. called the
Jensen hot water method, which is
very effective, but it is too difficult for
use by the average farmer. 1t also
tends to swell out soft wheats.
The Formain Method.
"The farmer must adopt a method
which will kill the smut. This can
best be done by the use of farmalin.
Formalin is a gas dissolved in water.
1t makes a colorless liquid which ap-
pears like water, but which has char
acteristic odor. 1t can be procured at
nearly all drug stores and should sell
at As to SO cents per pound in pound
lots. 1t is used at the rate of one
of 20 II, 70 a.
ter. Make trough as described
above. about IL feet long, feet wide
and 1 foot inches deep, which will
hold at least 20 bushels. Shovel in
this wheat loose and stir it so that
the wild oats and refuse matter float.
Skim these off. Continue till the
trough is nearly full, being sure that
there is enough of the solution to keep
the grain covered. Let it stand at
least an hour and half, and, better,
two hours. Then shovel out the wheat
and dry it on clean floor or piece OF
canvas. If the floor or canvas has
ever been contaminated with smut,
clean it by scalding it with water.
When the wheat is dry put it in clean
sacks. Scald out your seeder with
boiling water. Do not let this treated
wheat touch live smut or it will again
be contaminated.
"It will not be necessary for the
state grain commission to take up the
smut problem as Mr.. Smith suggests,
for the state and national law makes
it the duty of the agricultural expert
ment station to investigate the causes
of and to seek to discover remedies
for fungous diseases. 1t has been
working upon smut for some time.
price was comparatively low. Hell
It's first publication on the subject was
in bulletin g. published in 1893, which
bulletin is now exhausted. The great
er part of the work has been done
during the last two years. Last spring
a short bulletin upon the subject was
issued and another is now in press
We invite every farmer interested
in the smut problem to write freely to

ment station, Pullman, Washington,
and tell us his difficulties and sue

THE RANCH.
Lutte WILCOX SAYS:

The dark side of ranch life is not
any worse than that of any other kind
of life. The city attracts by the light,
hustle, gaiety and amusement and the
bright side is supposed to represent
it all. However, the dark side OF city
life is darker than anything in the
country and the battle of life in the
city is often prolonged struggle Tor
mere shelter and food. A little more
light in the houses and a little more
amusement amongst the families OF
the farmers and they will find them
selves without any dark side at all.
One of the greatest mistakes made
by farming communities intending to
develop the beet sugar interests OF
this country is that they become over
enthusiastic in many cases. They see
a gold mine ahead without considering
the numerous struggles necessary in
order to reach the goal they have in
view. Sugar-beet culture means more
work and botheration than the average
tiller appears to appreciate, notwith-
standing the efforts of promoters Off
cially representing the interests OF
sugar factories, etc.
The business of herding live stock
on the range will always prove prof1ta-
BILE to young men faithful in the work.
Skilled herders are always in demand
and good wages will be paid to them.
When young men has proven his
worth in the herding business, owners
of live stock are often willing to give
them an interest in one form or an
other in the business and in this way
they are enabled to get start on their
own account. Some of the heaviest
cattle owners commenced business as
common herders. Of course young
men who are inexperienced may find
difficulty at first in getting place,
but even if they have to give their
services for their keep for few weeks
or even months at the start, it might
prove good investment in the end.

GIVES AWAY NICKELs.
Novel MethOd OF n New York store.
keeper to Attract the Notice
of Customers.

A shopkeeper is this year calling the
attention of customers and those he
desires as such to his wares by novel
method, says the New York Sun. The
person to whom it is addressed re-
ceives by mail a well-filled envelope,
with no external markings to indicate
its contents, but up in the left-hand
corner of the envelope are printed the
words: "The five cents is inside"
The appearance of the envelope, to-
gether with the notice, is calculated to
induce curiosity at once. The state
ment that the five cents is inside is
true, for on opening the letter a
bright new nickel of 1902 date is found
tucked away between the middle pages
of pamphlet.
The explanation given in the PAM
phlet is that the sender is not stealer
of other peoples time, and that as it
was calculated that the recipient
would use up five cents worth of
his own time in reading the shopkeep-
er's story, the latter had decided to be
honest and pay for the time used or
purchased" as he puts it, and he
therefore inclosed a nickel in payment.
Whether the method pays the shop
keeper is not yet a settled question.

"An egg in the process of hatehing,"
says an expert, 'is remarkably sensi-
tive to vibration. Half the failures
that amateurs encounter in Matching
out chicks by the incubator method
are due to lacA of preeaution in pro-
viding against the effect of vibration
on the eggs. The rumble of a train or
the passage of a wagon along the
street win spoil whole incubator full
of eggs II the faintest vibratory wave
reaches the apparatus. Even such
little thing as the banging of a door
in some other part of the house will
destroy the chances Of Matching out
brood where care has not been taken
to place the Incubator beyond the
reach Of such disturbances. A thun-
der storm always gives breeders a
scare, as thousa Gls of eggs may be
spoiled by a sudden heavy thunder
clap. To sneeze or cough in the viein-
fly Of the incubators viii sometimes
work a disastrous result"
