contact with the grain when planted"
| Sinking smut OF wheat should be
clearly distinguished from loose smut
OF wheat, the reasons for this will be
noted below.
Life History Of Sinking Smut Of
Wheat.
When the wheat is planted the smut
spores adhere to the outside Of the
kernel. The spores terminate about
the same time as the wheat. The
smut plant enters the wheat seeding
and continues to grow and feed on the
tissues Of the wheat plant. When
the wheat heads out and mature the
tiny snlu threads have entered the
wheat kernel and filed its contents
with a mass OF spores. In handling
the grain these smut balls or masses
are broken and the spores again get
onto healthy grains, which may pro-
duce smut again the next season, I'M
less the grain is treated.
This disease may be carried by
threshing machines. Unless thorough
~ cleaned a machine that has just
threshed a field OF smutty grain can
carry spores to the grain OF the next
farm, which may not contain the
smut. Seed covered With smut spores
will be sure to produce smutty grain
the next season, unless treated to kill
the spores. Clean seed must be kept
clean. 1t should rot be put In snlutty
sacks or bins nor the crop threshed
with a dirty separator nor planted
With a dirty seedcr.
Treatment for Sinking Smut Of
Wheat.
Since the formalin or formaidehyde
treatment is the most practical and
the one now more commonly used for
sinking smut Of wheat, loose smut of
oats and covered smut of barley. no
other methods Will be discussed in
this article.
Many varieties OF the formalin
treatment may be used to meet the re.
quirements of the operator.
All the smut balls must be removed
from the seed grain. Some of these
masses can be removed with the fan
ming mill, or before the grain is treat
ed with the formalin solution the smut
balls can be removed with water.
Take a barrel or tank filled with wa
ter and dump the grain into it. Keep
the grain well stirred and as the smut
balls arise to the surface they can
be skinned off. The same result can
be obtained if the grain is put direct
~ into the formalin solution. Special
smut machines are also on the market
that will perform both operations at
once. The smut balls should be burn
ed to avoid further contamination.
These smut balls must be removed
since the solution cannot penetrate
to the center Of the mass to Kill the
spores. It is the spores on the out
side of the grain hat the solution can
Kill.
The operation of treatment ma be
either by dipping the grain in a solu-
ton of formalin or by sprinkling with
a like solution.
mr.. Sarvis will continue this yalua-
BILE discussion in an early issue OF
this paper. No farmer can afford &c
overlook this valuable series OF papers
on the treatment of smuts.-Ld.

One dull. rainy day I discovered
an interesting-looking tme~orn
valentine. bearing the date "Fsbru-
airy II. 1T77." In GranAmosher'a old
cabinet
Grandmother sat knitting before
the hreplaee-the freight dancing
merriiy on her shining needles. and
every now and then softly lighting
up her kindly face and snow-white
hair.
Dropping down on the hearth rug
before her, begged q story about the
valentine I had found.
That valentine was sent to your
Great-great-great-au Faith By Don
aid Wentworth" she began. my
grandmother was Faiths sister and
I'll tell you the story Is she told il
to me.
Girls married very young in those
days. Faith was sixteen when she
was engaged to Donald. Grand
mother often said that few couples
were better suited or happier.
zone day in July when Faith and
Donald were making plans for the
future. word came that independ-
ence had been declared. Great
Britain no longer ruled the colonies
But men and arms were needed to
maintain their freedom.
For a moment all was confusion
and hurry. Good-byes were hastily
hidden. And then Donald. accom-
panied by Faiths father and broth
ers, rode away to join Washington's
army. Vile Faith, with mother and
sister, watched-eyes dim-forced
smiles-until they were gone from
sight.
But with the men away twice as
much work must be done by the wo-
men. So while my grandmother did
twice her share of work in the house.
Faith and her mother picked up the
hoes dropped by the men and hoed
the corn.
''It was in February that Faith re-
ceived this valentine from Donald
the first she had ever had. Postage
was expensive in those days and let
tiers were seldom sent.
'The next September Donald fell
in the battle at Brandywine Creek
mo, dearie, the grief did not kill
Faith. Women were built Of
stronger stuff in those days.
Faith was a good and brave wo-
man, sweetheart Although she
lived to be forty-seven she never
sighted duty, and she won the love
of all whom she knew.
when the army so needed gold,
she gave her necklace-Donald's
gift-saying her country Beeded it
more than she. But what a sacrifice
it was no human being ever knew.
Perhaps without such women as
your Great-great-great-au Faith,
the United States might not have
maintained it's freedom. st. Mich

WHAT CURED MARSHEL.

Marshel was a sturdy little man of
five summers, who was a great help
to mother in caring for the baby sis
ter, and who could be sent to the gro
Gerry and meat shop, or even 80 away
down the street on errands II neces-
sary. When he was not helping moth

or else busted himself with games
that he could play alone, for his lit
generally got along all right when
alone; but as sure as he played with
another boy he would get hurt lit
tie, or could not have his own way, or
there would be some kind Of trouble,
and then he would cry. My, how he
would cry! And of course that would
make the other little boy feel bad.
Mother worried quite little about
his doing this, and had many serious
talks with him about it, yet they
seemed to do no good. He would cry
every time any little folks came to
play with him.
ST think she said, chat when
John and Harold, or Glen and
Charles come over, will give them
your toys, and you must stay OF by
yourself and just watch them having

"Oh, not" Marshel exclaimed, with
the tears very near, don't do that.

"Well, then, will you remember not
to cry every time things do not go to
suit you?" she asked.
"Yes'm." he whispered. hanging

"Clam fishing is a very delightful
pastime amongst Japanese boys.
They wade in the shallow water,
bearing rakes which they use to catch
the clans, and baskets, into which
they put the clans. These clans are
not very easy to catch, and a boy
who captures many Of them on one
trip feels very triumphant. Fishing

folk often indulge in much merry

tasks. One especially strong voice
will carry the air, and the others
join in the chorus. So, you see, the

'I'd like that very much" was the
eager reply.
"Then let's begin with him as a

first test of strength. He is placed
in a big basket, whose bottom is not
level. About his shoulders are
placed some heavy rice cakes, and he
is hidden to walk with such impedi-
ments as these. OF course, his efforts
are futile, and he falls down; but
this fall is supposed to fill him with
a sort of caution and to preclude all
danger of future falls. His toys are,
some of them, very like our own

great favorite; and, instead of call

lad proudly carries at his side. The
