theoretically, be able TO distribute 1t
from a central point Of houses, office
buildings, theaters and the like, at a
distance, as is done with gas and steam.
But the size and the cost of the
plant required. the impossibility Of de-
veloping a degree Of cold which will
not be dissipated in transit unless
pipes of prohibitive size are employed,
has placed the Idea in the category
of laboratory dreams. Even the use
of liquid air or liquid hydrogen would
not obviate this last objection. The
cost Of the production and the distribu-
ton would outweigh the benefits.
Science does not recognize the I'M
possible. however, and II Prof. Cnnes
has produced a LIQUID which, forced to
distant points through pipes small
enough to be strung like telephone

A SIMPLE SAFEGUARD IN BUYING
PAINT.

Everybody should know how simple

In buying paint materials. There are
many so-called white leads on the
market, which contain chalk, zinc,
barytes, and other cheap adulterants.
Unless the property owner takes ad
vantage of the simple means of pro-
lection afforded him by reliable white
lead manufacturers, he runs great risk
of getting an inferior and adulterated
white lead.
1t is to protect the paintbuyer
against fraud and adulteration that

THE SMUT PEST CAN BE ERADTCATED
Mr. soule Tells How to Vastly Improve Crop
Valuable Information for Farmer

From ten to twenty per cent. of
the oat crop is annually destroyed
by what is known as loose smut.
This dangerous parasite attacks the
heads and leaves them in a black
ened condition, familiar to all who
have observed an oat field near to
harvest time. This trouble can be
effectually prevented by some three
different methods of treatment. The
first Of these is known as the Sar
treatment. The solution is made by
mixing Is pounds Of flowers of sui
phur with one-half pound of pow
dered resin and wetting with suffi-
cient water to make a thick paste.
Then add ten pounds of dry pow
dered caustic soda, known as con-
centrated lye. Stir vigorously while
the mass turns a reddish brown and
boils violently. Next add enough
water to bring the solution up to
six gallons. This stock solution
should be preserved in tightly corked
jugs. To treat oats take one quart
of the solution and dilute with so
gallons of water, allowing the oats
to soak in the mixture for twelve
hours. For a short treatment one
gallon of stock to so gallons of water
may be used, and in that case the
soaking period should not be over
two hours. The oats should be
stirred several times while in the
solution
Seed oats may also be treated
with what is known as the formalin
solution, which is made by diluting
one pound of formalin with fifty gall
Ions Of water. The formalin used
must be a full strength 40 per cent.
solution of formaldehyde. The grain
to be treated may be placed on the
barn floor or any other smooth sur
face where a shovel can be used.
