Crop Rotation and Seed Treatment
Will End Trouble.

Will Emo FOuDIS-
Flax wilt is caused by a mold-like
fungus. The fungus threads attack
the young seedlings, and may either
kill it outright or merely stunt it's
growth. The fungus may live for a
number of years in the soil, on old
fax straw, or on other decomposing
material 1t is for this reason that
flax should not be soWn on the same
land more than once every five to
seven years. The disease may also be
carried on the seed. The reproduce
tive bodies (spores) at harvest time
are scattered over the seed and re-
main there during the winter. In the
spring, even though the flax be sown
on unaffected land, the spores on the
seed will germinate and infect the fax
plants. There may be then two
sources of infection, the soil and the
seed. Danger of infection from the
first source may be avoided by proper
crop rotation and from the second by
seed treatment.
Seed fax should first be very thor
oughly famed in order to get rid of all
light seed, chaff, pieces of straw, etc.
Then it should be spread out on floor
or canvas, which has been previously
well washed with boiling water or
strong formalin solution. Spray the
seed with formalin, used at the rate
of one pound to forty gallons of wa.
ter. 1t is necessary to use a com.
pressed air sprayer, which will throw
fine, misty spray. While one man
rakes or shovels the grain over, an !
other should apply the spray, being I
sure to moisten every seed, without |
using too much of the liquid. The !
flax should then be covered for a
couple of hours with previously. !
cleaned sacking or canvas. 1t should |
be shoveled over, and may then be
sown.
If the seed is carefully treated, and |
is sown on land which has not grown
fax for five to seven years, there
should be no wilt 1t is important to !
remember that untreated seed, grown |
on clean land, may produce wilt-af.
fected crop; and, in the same way.
treated seed, sown on unclean land, |
may produce diseased crop. There. |
fore great care should always be taken |
to get clean seed and SOW it on clean |
land.-E. G. Stakman, University

Should the railroads restore the
three-cent rate, as they say they will
it will give proposed electrical lines an
immense boost and it would not be
surprising at all to see the thickly
settled district completely served with
that class of travelling facilities with
in the next ten years. Electrical lines
are the roads of the future anyway,
and now is the time to push them
along. st. Peter Free Press.

Low Wages and Little Work.

Wages are not high in India. A ma
tive switchman on a railway and the
native servant in a private family re-
ceiye Z rupees. or about $1.9O, a
month. The farm hand receives much
less, or about rupees. or $1.OS q
month. OF course wages vary in diff
ferent sections. and there is a some
what upward tendency in prices now.
However. the missionaries told me
that you paid about as much for labor
in India as you do in America; that
one man in America would do as
much as whole company in India

Road houses figure prominently in ths
whole range OF history. Those who haVs
read the novels OF Dumas, well renemoer
that road houses framed stirring scenes IN
almost every chapter OF every novel he
wrote Dumas not only planned many or
his most dramatic actions in road houses
he minuteiy described the various cuisines.
His novels stand to-day among the most
voluminous and exhaustive cook books eX-
tant Many q world famous recipe can be
found I'm his pages. and the famous char
acters OF the history OF his time are por-
trayed as epicures devouring the lengthily
described vlands and sometimes criticizing
them severely when not prepared exactly
as they should be. No restaurant grumbler
OF later years has exceeded Dumas IN TINS
respect. Almost every conceivable Kick
and criticism will be found duly registered
in his works.

While he was still a struggling young
lawyer at the age Of twenty-six, Millard
Fillmore met the daughter Of Unitarian
minister at a church festival and lost his
heart without further ceremony. Abigail
Powerr-that was the attractive young
uoman's name-was equally interested in
the young attorney. but her father objected

devotion to Abigail made a change OF creed
a matter OF easy arrangement so he be-
came a Unitarian and so remained until MS
death. although HIS second wife. who was
Mrs. Caroline Mcintosh, a rich widow was
an Episcopalian.
While Franklin Pierce was a student at

He conceived a revenge in which the
auto-going public rallied TO his support.
Almost directly across the street he erected
