FOR SMUT.

Mr.. Parker nf the Minnesota State

formaldelyde for smut. Here is what
he says: 1.-The loss in small grains
caused by smut is great. 1t could be
remedi- d to q considerable extent by
the farmer II he would but take the
proper care of his seed grains. The
best Of these that know is the form
aldehyde treatment. This consists oil
one pound or pint of formaldehyde to
one barrel or As gallons Of water.
Either sprinkle this on the seed grain
on q clean floor, or put the seed into
q sack and place ia the solution long
enough to get we'll covered, then
spread out to dry. There are ma
chimes to do this work if one desires
but either of the above methods are
just as good"

About Charcoal.

Charcoal is used to keep poultry and
pigeons in healthy thriving condition,
and this is done by the charcoal alb
sorbing all the foul gases and sourness
that may arise in the digestive organs,
and preventing diarrhea.
When the droppings are TOO soft is
the time to guard against diarrhea by
giving more charcoal in the mash; then
YOU will notice that the droppings
harden and the bowels resume their
natural and healthy condition. Poultry
is frequently overfed (even by practical
poultrymen) and in nine cases out of
ten this will result in bowel disorder,
which is guarded against in a measure
by the use of charcoal More little
chicks die from diarrhea than any
other complaint; the use of charcoal
is of assistance in rearing the little
ones, and if kept before them constant
" it will help them to reach maturity
at an early age.
Charcoal is not drug; il. is a natur-
al purifier from which no bad effects
can result. Feed in the mash and in
hopDers same as grit and she'll Farm

night. He shrank back.

"whether it can be did in the dark
or no. I saw Black Tom miss, an
heared I'm shrek as TN cracked TN
bloody skull on the rocks"
Bucket after bucket passed, and the
man still fought with his fears. He
cursed himself for a coward, he
crouched for the leap once and again,
but he hung back, trembling. He
promised himself it should be next
time, but as the buckets came down
out of the darkness he wavered. His
lips were parched and shriveled, his
blazing eyes strained in their sock
cts.
In an instant it was done. AS the
black bucket slipped down at him he
leaped far into dizzy space and caught
the clutch. The bucket swayed from
the impact, tossed like a boat in a
heavy sea, and seemed to hurl him
from it. His mind was a tortured
chaos as he found himself riding in
a wild flight downward. The terrific
roar in his ears churned all sounds
to scream of malignant triumph.
Round the new stove in the tenn
porary and hastily constructed cabin,
Drawn, Dynamite, Jennie Lord, and
the other survivors of the snows1ide,

mountain edge far above. "She'1l
rip loose some day and smother us

"That's what" agreed Drawn,
with sly glance at Davie Rhys,
the butt of the mine. "Bet un she

ct ann said Davie. "There be no
place for me in a snowslide. I'm
no top man."
"That ye're not" scoffed Drawn;
IAN no frst-class headsman would
own you for his trammer, either"
A slow flush crept into Davies
homely, honest face. He knew him
self for born coward, and he knew
that these rough, reckless miners also
knew him for one. The risks they
took without thought in the dark
depths of the mine made him shud-
der. Yet he was man grown, as
big and strong a Cornishman as they

up Jennie Lord, the cook. cit be's

and the man slouched out into the

Better get outside, Davie,' said

I can rum" said Davie, contemptuous
of his own weakness.
He strobe out of the cabin in a
rage with himself, a volley of guf-
flaws following him.
He stood on the ledge in front Of
the cabin, looking down into the
canon below. From the edge there
was sheer drop of fifty feet, and
below that a descent for. nearly a
mile to the river, on the edge of
which he could see the shining lights
of the Blue Bell stamp-mill Half
a mile to his right ran the ore tram
way of the Blue Bell, connecting the
mine far up on the shoulder of the
mountain with the mill in the canon.
Except for that aerial route, there
was no means of communication be-
tween the miners above and the mill
below.
Davie glanced up at the great snow
comb above, and shuddered If
it should break, and if the slide
should catch their bunk-house in its
descent! A moment, and he was
frantica1v tearing open the cabin
door The miners looked round, to
see framed in the opening the face
of Davie, wild and haggard.
There do be a snowslide a
eomin'?" he yelled. "I hear the comb
breakin' ava from the ridge now.
Git We out. quick, cause Dynamite's
gone an left thee. an I'm a-goin'!"
cha! hap yelled the chorus of
miners.
Drawn shouted, clio, ho, Davie,
bye! Think thee is goin' to work
our own game on us? Go ava! Go
awaw >
But Davie had already gone, dar-
ing to- pause no longer before the
downward sweep of the swir1ing,
cracking. roaring white terror. He
c1ambered mad1y up the side of the
oulch in a DESPERATE heart-pounding
scramble for life Behind him he
heard the thunderstorm rush of the
slide scoring it's way down the noun
tain ravine Safe on the rim he
paused at last, his ears deafened
with the roar. his eyes di1ating fear
fully. his head ree1ing.
Gradually the terrific noise sub
sided, the white swir1ing pail settled.
