Grim Smufs.

A dangerous parasite OF many of the
cereal plants is the fungus that pro-
duces in the grain or head what Is
known as smut. There are several
well known kinds of smut, each OF
which is caused by distinct species
of the fungus.
The greatest loss from smuts in this
country is from the sinking smut of
wheat and the loose smut of oats. A
considerable loss is also due to the
loose smuts of barley and wheat, which
are more difficult TO control and pre-
vent. They are widely distributed,
and, though they occur usually in
small quantities, the damage in the
aggregate is large. They often are en-
tirely unnoticed on account of their
earliness and the absence of any con-
spicuous sign of them at harvest time.
The sinking smut of wheat trans
forms only the kernels into smut balls,
which do not break until the wheat Is
threshed and often remain intact in
the threshed grain. The loose smuts

charge their spores, which are blown
off by the wind as soon as the smutte6
head comes out of the leaf sheath;
they infect the plant in the Towering
stage and enter the embryo inside the
ovary before the latter ripens into
seed. An infected seed develops a
smutted plant the following year.
The most successful method thus far
found for preventing these SHUTS is =
hot water treatment of the seed. This
treatment is described in Bureau OF
Plant Industry Bulletin 1872, entitled
The Loose SHUTS of Barley and
Wheat recently issued by the United
States Department of Agriculture. The
bulletin is a report of recent re-
searches into the life histories of these
smuts and the determination of meth.
DDS for their prevention, and is in
tended for seed growers and scientific
farmers.

breakfast. and walked down to the
George Inn" The landlord happened
to be standing at the door.
Has Mr.. Carroll come back yet. Mr..
Maxim" she inquired, in as unconcerc-
ed voice as she could command.
mo, miss, he has left US. / had
telegram yesterday from him with or
ders to pack up his things and send

"Did-did Mr. Carroll-give any adj

send his things? Mamma has book
of his-she wishes TO return to him
that is why 1 ask"
They was only to be sent to Pad
dington. But I've got the telegram
still, miss, il your mamma would like
to see it."
Mr. Maxim stepped back into the bar.
and fetched the telegraph paper from
off the mantel-shelf She took it ca
gerly and with trembling fingers. 1t
ran thus:
Landlord, George Inn Chatswell.
Pack and send off everything left
behind by earliest possible passenger
train, addressed to Cloak Room, Pad
dington. Carroll"
Irene turned away swiftly, crushing
up the paper tightly between her
hands. She was not ten yards from
the door of the inn, before she sudden
ly staggered and swayed forward, and
then fell heavily down on the ground.
Maxim rushed forward in dismay,
and laboring man who happened TO
be passing by, also ran up; the young
lady lay stretched out in dead faint,
perfectly unconscious. in the middle OF
the road They lifted her up, and be-
tween them they carried her insensible
form back to The Cottage, to her

ave turkeys that weigh 63 pounds in

To this the editor replies: Our
correspondent does not state what
breed of turkeys he refers to- but the
weights mentioned are below the
weight required for the standard for
any of the breeds. For bronze tur-
keys the standard requires the follow
ing weights: Adult cock, SO pounds;

and 70 pounds for pullets."
This matter of giving satisfaction
to the buyer is delicate one. but II

representations and furnishes what he

cant. No pulse can be felt in the
back artery of the foot, showing that
the arterial circulation is at fault. I'm
less properly treated, this trouble may
go on to very disagreeable and finally
to grave results. A condition of mus
cular atrophy may set in, with con-
tinuous pain in spite of rest, and in
advanced stages dry gangrene may de-
velop, which calls for surgical inter
vention.
This trouble is believed to be caused
by an insufficient supply of blood to
the affected part 1t is thought that
the reason why the symptoms are not
noticed, or rather are not present, dur
ing rest, is that then the blood-supply
is sufficient for the small demand, but
that as soon as the sufferer demands
from his limb any work at all it re-
quires more nourishment.
This disease may persist for years,
and the treatment is that of meeting
the symptoms as they arise. Com
plete rest in the earlier stages is not
advisable, but the amount of exercise
should be very strictly controlled.
Massage and treatment by electricity
are often of benefit, and tonics should
be given for the general condition.
Great care should be exercised that
the affected part receive no injury,
such as comes from a blow or cut,
because not being properly fed with
blood, the part is always below par
in vitality, and gangrene may be the
result. The case then becomes, Of
