TREATING SEED GRAIN.
rsrmaldehyde For the Prevestion Of
smut In wheat.

III smutty seed can be so treated as
to kill the smut spores and not affect
the vitality OF the seed. the succeed
ing grain crop will be practically free
from smut There are number Of
chemicals that will kill smut. but the
Minnesota experiment station recon-
mends that farmers use formaldehyde
as being the cheapest aud easiest APP
piled and least dangerous to use. In
buying care should be taken TO secure
formaldehyde that tests at least 40 per
cent pure Otherwise the treatment is
apt to be a failure.
The Process.
A solution Of formaldehyde should be
made In the proportion of one pound
formaldehyde t40 per cent pureD to for
ty-tive gallons Of water. This amount
will treat about a hundred bushels of
wheat and seyenty-five to eighty i've
bushels Of oats or bayey. The easiest
method OF applying Ge solution is to
spread the wheat on the granary floor
and spray the solution over the seed
with a common garden sprinkling can.
The solution is not effective at low
temperature: hence the seed should not
be treated during extreme cold wealth
er. While the seed Ii being sprayed 1t
should be shoveled over aud over with
q scoop shovel until the seed is thor
oughly mOistened. After the grain has
been sprayed 1t is a good plan to cover
the mass OF seed with u few sacks or
blankets in order to prevent too rapid
evaporation Of the formaldehyde. In q
few hours the sacks may be removed
and the grain allowed to dry before
seeding.
1t is usually best to treat seed the
day before seeding. but it may be done
earlier In the season II desired.

splendid example OF the consolation af-
fJrded by Christianity In time of suffering
