Loose and Covered Smut Of Oats.

These two smuts come in the same
used for the loose smuts of wheat
and may be prevented in the same
manner Loose smut spores are scat
tered soon after forming and ONE Of
them lodge between the hull and the
grain and there remain over winter.
The spores are inside the hull next
to the grain, but probably never ger
inmate and enter the grain as in the
case of either of theabove loose smuts
on wheat and barley. There is not as
much danger from contamination af-
ter the grain is threshed as in the
case of sinking smut of wheat, yte
this point should not be overlooked. as
it is not impossible for infection to
take jlace. The treatment Of both
smuts of oats is the same as directed
under the sinking smut of wheat.
Copper salts should never be used for
smut of oats, as the grain is very SEN
sitive to copper.

Very Appreciatlve.

A story about Secretary of Interior
Affairs Henry Houck concerns tie
and an overcoat.
Mr.. Houck one day last winter met
a business man and expressed admira-
tion for a tie he was wearing. The
next morning the secretary found on
his desk a package containing tie,
duplicate Of the one his friend had
been been wearing, with a note to the
effect that, as Secretary Houck had
admired the tie SO much. the donor
begged permission to send one to him.
Uncle Henry" pleased at this evil
dence of friendship from the young
merchant, wrote him note of thanks,
and at its close added:

overcoat you were wearing"

CATS F0RESEE DEATH?

Has cat insight into the future?
Can 1t presage wealth or death? am
inclined to believe that certain cats
can, at all events, foresee the advent
OF the latter; and that they do this In
the same manner as the shark, crow,
owl, jackal, hyaena, etc., namely. by
their abnormally developed sense Of
smell. My own and other peoples ex-
perience has led me to believe that
when a person is about to die, some
Kind OF phantom, maybe the spirit OF
some one closely associated with the
sick person, or. maybe a spirit whose
special function 1t is to be present
on such occasions, Is in close proximi-
ty to the sick or injured one, waiting
to escort his or her soul into the world
of shadows-and that certain cats
scent its approach.
Therein then-in this wonderful pro.
perty Of smell-lies one of the secrets

From this 1t does not follow that the
person who sees the cat Is going to
die, but that death is cvertaking some
one associated with that person; and
1t is in connection with the latter that
the spirit of the grave is present, en-
