suPERFLUITIEs OF LIFE.
Xauv Of the Minor Details Of Dress
That Are Not at All

An English writer has been de-
voting his attention to the elm
ination of unnecessary things, and
has succeeded in presenting a ten.
tatiye list of articles which man
kind does not need. Like many
other propagandists of a new cult,
says the philadelphia Public Led
ger, he goes to extremes in GER
tain instances, but, on the whole,
makes out a pretty good case. He
holds, to begin with, that the resi-
dent of a city does not require a
watch. He goes so far as to say
that an umbrella is not indispensa.
BILE, and cites Lord Beaconsfeld,
who never carried an umbrella, as
an illustrious example. "Nhen it
rained he took refuge under the
umbrella of the prettiest woman
he could see."
The silk hat is tabooed by this
iconoclast. In his inventory of
superfuous things we find the flap
that covers the keyhole of tue
front door, which often sadly in.
t~erferes with the entrance of the
belated and perhaps bibulous
householder. "Iti is redeemed from
absolute futility by it's power OF
occasional annoyance" He in
quires as to the use of the tasselo or
the new umbrella. "Nobody in hik
senses wants a tassel on an UNI
brella."

SEED WHEAT FOR NEXT YEAR
Bolley Talks of the Use. Of Wheat From a
Rusted Crop for7seed]ing Purposes: i.
Some Apt Suggestions /
on the Matter.

[ have been requested by al
of farmers to explain
What effects may be expected up
IN the wheat crop of next year
because of the present serious
caused by rust upon the
grainzof this years crop. There
are numerous other questions
which have been asked which
most people can easily answer
for themselves, such as whether
rusted straw is poisonous when
fed. to cattle;;" whether badly
rusted straw turned under will
tend to cause the next years
crop to rust" etc. There is no
information available to indicate
that rust affected straw is in any
way poisonous in it's action. The
straw stacks may, indeed, this
year prove more nutritious to an
imals than usual because of the
fact that rust largely prevented
the straw from ripening the
grain and thus left embodied in
it more actual nourishment.
There will also, in all probability
be more shrunken and shrivelled
grain in such stacks than usual:
Thus, in general, we believe that
such wheat straw may furnish,
perhaps, more food for cattle
than in ordinary years. In re-
gard to the question whether
blowing under rusted straw will
tend to produce a rusted crop
next year, I may say that it Is
against all present known facts
to believe that such will be the
case, provided the soil is in such
a condition as to produce a thor
ough decaying of the straw. The
new wheat crop does not become
infected directly from the blacl
spores upon the old straw. I
seems probable that the new in
lection comes each year from tn,
red rust spores which have blown
from field to field from the soutl
towards the north as the cro]
develops.
The question as to what shall
be done for seed next year vii
however, be a serious one to man,
of the farmers of the state. I
is hardly probable that any farm
er has failed to raise seed of sue
quality that a reasonable GRO.
may be expected from it, provid
ed it is cared for and properl
prepared for seeding. This art
icle is written to call the attentio.
of those farmers who have badl

Ing cut too green, to rust. or to-
frost, results in a weak germina-
ton and first growth. If bad
weather prevails Immediately
seeding time, such
weak shriveled seed grain will be
sure to give a poor crop. Rust
does not propagate by way of
the seed grain. There is thus
no method of treating the seed
grain which will prevent the &C
currance of rust in the crop.
Because the seed whichon sows
was grown upon a rusted crop is
also no sign that rust will follow
its use. One need have slight
fear Of rust from this cause. but
it is certain that there may be
great loss to the farmers OF the
state in the crop OF 1905 if they
do not make special provision
just at this time to procure pro-
per seed. Experiments made
here at the experiment station
show that it is a bad plan for
to continue. exchanging seed
grain or buy from distant re-
gions. This statement, of course,
only holds true in case a farmers
seed grain is reasonably mature
and strong. 1t is a bad plan to
depend on some. one else to fur.
nish a good type of seed grain.
If one relies upon buying it from
the elevators in the spring it will
certainly be of mixed variety.
Besides, if he exchanges his seed
every year he can never hope to
breed up a strong heavy yielding
type of wheat on his own place.
Our recommendation concerning
what to do in this particular case
is about as follows: Select the
very best piece of wheat which
you have raised, tlresh when il
is dry; store it dry, grade out al
of the small and shriveled grair
in a tanning mill. Sell the screen
and keep the plumpest stuff fol
seed next year. If you know
that your neighbor has mucl
better seed grain than you have
it may be a wise plan to buy SOM
Of his best for seed. Shrivelet
wheat which is due to immaturit,
whether caused by rust or be
cause cut too soon always gel
inmates quite freely if it has bee1
kept dry and not allowed to heat
1t is not necessary that a sampl
of wheat be thoroughly smoot]
and plump as to its individua
kernels in order that large GRO
may be grown from it but it i
quite necessary that the individ
ual grain should be REASONABLE

Delicate surs,ca, Operation.

A celebrated astronomer suffered
acutely for over twelve years from
an unknown trouble in his leg. The
surgeons did not seem to be able to
diagnose his case. He finally went ia
the Johns Hopkins hospital at Ba.ti-
more. and an examination by two
young surgeons showed that the lame
ness was due to a diseased nerve in
the leg. The patient was told that the
operation would be painful. and in the
nature OF an experiment, as it had
been tried only once before, in France
in which instance it was successful.
The patient refused to take anaesthet-
les. RS he desired to witness the oper-
alton as far as possible. The leg was
opened and the nerve was found to
be diseased. and the patient directed
the surgeons 10 cut 1t out. The nerve
was entirely removed. the wound
closed and In ten days the patient was
able to dress himself and walk abou,
the hospital. and he is now able tc
go up and down stairs and walk hal,

In a long distance swimming race re-
Gently across Toronto bay, in Canada,
from the Yonge street wharf to the
swimming club, on the island lagoon,
says the Toronto Star there was fought
a battle between vegetarians and meat
eaters. The course was about two
miles in length, and II. +. Strickland
of Toronto, n vegetarian, made the
journey in the record time of fifty min
uteS. George III. COrson, another vege-
tartan, made the course In fifty-twO
minutes. Two Englishmen had come
over to swim in the race-Sturdy beef
eaters from the land of roast beef-but
they found the pace too fast and drop
ped out midway on the course. 1t was
a handicap contest, but in actual time
vegetarianism scored n decisive victory.
The race was not announced as
contest between vegetarians and meat
eaters, but MeSsrs. Strickland and Cor
son resolved to give it that turn. They
entered. Like others, they trained. On
the day of the race their sole diet was
pea butter. For a week they reduced
their ordinary vegetarian diet to sim
pies, such as pea butter, peanuts and
raw fruit. Before setting out in the
race they informed the astonished meat
fed Englishmen. who were supposed to
be the best men in the contest, that
they were vegetariunS, had eaten no
meat for years and intended to prove
the superiority of their diet
They did it. AS they glided through
the waves they were borne up by the
consciousness that they were vindicat-
ing vegetarianism. To others it was O
race for glory. To MeSSrs. Strickland
and COrSOn 1t was an opportunity Of
showing Il meat fed world the error Of
its ways. They were men with Il mis-
