Prof. Bolley Cautions Farmers Against
the Careless Use of Formaldehyde in
Treating Their Seed Flax for Wilt
Seed Easily Killed if too Wet.
In a bulletin issued from the Agricul-
tural College at Fargo on the Goth inst,
Prof. H. L. Bolley has the following to
to say to flax growers in preparing their
seed for this years crop. His remarks
have special bearing on the treatment of
fax seed with formaldehyde for wilt. In
substance bis remarks are as follows:
Treating flax seed with formaldehyde
is new work. One cannot be as careless
in treating fax as in treating wheat. 1t
is easy to kill the seeds if they are made
too wet or are allowed to stay damp.
After treatment, shovel the grain over
until it is thoroughly dry.
Use one pound OF formaldehyde to 40
or As gallons OF water. Put the solution
on very gradually using a fine spray un-
til the grains are Just evenly moist. Do
lots OF shoveling over while the spray is
applied. When just nicely damp, stop
applying the solution, but continue to
handle the grain over until it is dry.
Avoid soaking, for all grains which are
soaked will be killed. Better not treat
than do it SO heavily as to kill your
seed.
Do not undertake the treatment until
you have carefully read the regular bull
letin, No. so, for particulars. The bull
letin will be ready for distribution In
about two weeks from this date (Mar.
20.)-H. L. Bolley, Agricultural college.

ate Finance Committee have about
decided that the bill repeating all
the war taxes, which recently passed
the House and is now before that
committee, shall be cut to the ex-
tent of $20,000,000 or $25,000,000
before it is reported to the Senate.
In other words, that one fourth or
more of the war taxes shall be left
standing. If the Republican Sena
tors will only live up to this report,
the last vestige of doubt about the
next House being Democratic will
be wiped out.

shop has lost his situation, and this
because he gave prompt answer to
his employers eager question. The
employer had six lively little land tur-
ties, which attracted much attention
as they wandered aimlessly about the
window He painted large white let
ter on the back of each of the shells,
and put up a notice to the effect that,
whenever the turtles got into such rel
alive positions that the letters spelled
oyster he would present half a dozen
natives to every one who was looking
on.
Then he became frightened lest the
mystic word should occur too often,
and covered reams of paper figuring
out the odds. He gave it up at last,
and was about to remove the turtles
when his most accomplished oyster
opener informed him that the odds
were 72O to 1 against the combination.
The turtles are still in the window,
but the oyster opener has gone. Such
knowledge of odds, the employer
thought, could have been acquired
only by years of betting experience. 1t
is not wise to be too wise.

There is no better preventive of
nervous exhaustion than regular, I'M
hurried muscular exercise. If we could
moderate our hurry, lessen our worry
and increase our open-air exercise a
large proportion of nervous diseases
would be abolished.
For those who cannot get sufficient
holiday the best substitute is an occa-
sional day in bed. a writer in the
Nineteenth Century suggests. Many
whose nerves are constantly strained
in their daily vocation have discovered
this for themselves. If we cannot pre-
vent agitation, we ought, if possible.
to give the nervous system time to re-
cover itself between the shocks. Even
an hours seclusfon after a good lunch
will deprive hurried, anxious day of
much of its injury. The NERVES can
often be overcome by stratagem when
they refuse to be controlled by the
strength of will.
