thermore, it is inexpensive, and an ex-
ceedingly dilute solution Of fOrmalln
will kill smut spores absolutely. For
treating grain one should use one
pound of formalin to forty gallons of
water The grain to be treated should
be placed on a good, tight door. after
which the water formalin mixture
should be added until the whole pile is
thoroughly wet. OF course 1t should
be stirred while the liquid is being
poured on. There is no need Of put
ting it on with a sprinkler, because a
considerable quantity OF liquid is need
ed. and the essential thing is to use
plenty Of it and to put lots Of muscle
on the scoop shovel handle.
The grain should be stirred and wet
ted until the water seeps away at the
sides, after which il should be shoveled
into a steep pile and covered with gun
ny sacks or horse blankets and left in
this condition for two or three hours.
At the end of this time the shovel
should again be started. Spread the
grain out as thlnly as the floor space
will allow and shovel It over as fire.
uuently as possible. In other words,
hasten the drying so that the grain
will not swell. Generally speaking. II
the treatment is begun early in the
morning and If the atmosphere is rea-
sonably dry most Of the moisture can
be got rid Of the first day, at least a
sufficient amount of 1t so that there IS
no danger of the grain spelling. 1t
may be necessary to shovel over the
grain several times the second day. In
any event it should not be sacked up
until 1t is dry. OF course II treatment
is left until the grain can be taken di-
rectly to the field 1t is not so impor-
tant that It be dried out completely,
but it is important, as said before, to
have the grain dried before putting It
in sacks. We have known instances
where the terminating power Of grain
was very greatly injured by passing
through a sweating in the grain sacks
after the smut treatment. It viii do
no harm and may accomplish some
good to dip the grain sacks into the
mixture in order to destroy the smut
spores that are attached thereto. This
can be done in the very first instance
and the sacks hung out to dry, so they
will be ready when the grain is dry
enough to sack up.-Better Farming.

Ever since II became known that Cana

try have been anxious to see how this
result came about. THE SrN therefore
reprints both games from German news
papers with notes by Lasker and Tar

his own game Lasker in writing about
his game in Berlin paper made some
comments which show that he is still
