Method to Prevent Dat Smut.

Many farmers have suffered losses
by the blasting or shutting of the
oat heads. This is the conversion OF
the grains and legumes into masses
OF black spores. In Ohio the loss has
oeen found to be 6 per cent or more,
sometimes SO per cent. SAYS Prof. A.
u. Selby of the Ohio experiment
station, writing in the Homestead.
ms can be almost entirely prevented
by treatment of the seed oat which
should not cost more than * cents
an acre. Occasional repetition will
give smlt-free fields. Dat smur is
caused by a fungus, the spores of
which get in under the husk at
blossoming and are sown with the
seed. A simple and eldcient remedy
is to sprinkle the seed oats with a
dilute solution OF formalin or
formaldehyde in water. A pint to 80
gallons of water is strong enough.
One ounce Of formalin in three gal
Ions Of water is enough for three
bushels OF seed. The oats should be
piled in heaps Of convenient size, ana
then first sprinkled with the solution
by means of the watering-can ana
showed over. This should be repeat
ed at intervals of few minutes until
the liquid is used up. The grain is
left in a pile for four or five hours,
or better, over night. If sown broad
cast, the seed can be used wet. To
dry for drilling, spread in a thin
layer on dry floor and shovel over
several times. Oats should not be
treated when there is danger of their
freezing while wet. They may be
kept for some time after treatment
before sowing.

Crime Among Educated.

Indeed the number of crimes COM
mitted by the highly educated is an
alarming feature of the situation. The
list of defaultnig bookkeepers, bank
tellers, clerks, and college graduates
constantly lengthens, rejecting a lurid
light upon the theories Of those who
attempt to account for the origin OF all
sin, vice, and crime by ignorance.
Those who attribute all crime to intern
perance are also silenced, since many
prevalent crimes are incompatible with
that vice, for they require the keenest
intellects, the most concentrated atten-
ton. 1t is noteworthy, also, that rep
resentatives of the clerical, the legal,
and the medical professions are furnish,
ing an increasing number Of crimes Of
dishonesty, violence, and pollution Of
domestic life.-From James M. Buck
ley's "The Present Epidemic OF Crime

BEAVER is INDUSTRIOUS.
Little Animal Has a Wonderful Scent

Little Animal Has a Wonderful Scent
and Is Not Easily Trapped.
These animals usually herd together
in small families, go up stream during
the spring freshets and remain there,
saws a Forest and Stream writer. If
their dams are cut out dog can be
sent into the hole and the occupants
driven out. They are then easily caught
and killed, as they are clumsy on lana.
They have a wonderful scent, which
makes it impossible to trap them on
land. To trap them even in water re-
ouires more or less practice on the part
Of the trapper He has cunning crea-
ture to deal with and he must proceed
carefully.
IF the creek is not frozen over the
surest way to catch him is to use
No. 4 trap, set back far enough TO
catch his hind foot as he climbs out
upon the bank, the water being some
what shallow. 1t Is best to catch the
hind foot rather than the front foot
which he readily twists or gnaWs on
A No. 2 trap Is too small Tor the hlllu
foot for he can cover it and not get
fast in it. If the trap is set under the
ice and he is caught by either front
or hind foot he will drown, as he be-
gins to struggle and soon smothers
He gets excited and does not try tt

Los Angeles, Cal, as follows:
I have never known of any patent
medicine which did what it professed
to do except Peruna. This remedy
does much more than it claims, and
while 1 have never advocated any med
icine I feel that it is but justice to
speak a good word for it because I have
found it to be such rare exception.

were little better than physical wrecks,
mothers who dragged out a miserable,
painful existence, but were made we'll
