TREAT YOUR SEED
WHEAT FOR SMUT
Insure Clean Seed BY Killing the
Spores OF Sinking Smut With
Fornalin.
NICHOLAS SCHMITZ
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station

When q field Of Emuttsd wheat is
threshed, many OF the smut balls"
are broken and the sound grains are
covered with the smut dust As far
as is known. this is practically the
only way infection takes place 10 any
serious extent This infection Is
especially serious when clean crop
is threshed with machine that has
Just threshed q smutted crop
Before treating your wheat for stink
ing smut. il is best to remove all IN
broken smut balls. Since the smut
balls are much lighter than the sound
grain, thorough tanning will generally
Go this. II tanning viii not do it. the
grain should be poured into barrel
Of cold water and thoroughly stirred
so that all the smut balls viii come
to the surface where they can be
skinned Of.

pon,t Sit Crosslegged.

The next time that YOU ride in a street
car notice the number OF people that sit
cross legged. 1t has been estimated that
four-fifths of them do. Probably YOU do.
A prominent London physician has Inves-
iigated the habit and his advice is don't
sit cross legged" He states that the
prime objection to the habit is that the
return flow Of blood is stopped at the
knee. the result being that the veins in
the legs begin to swell up As all of the
weight of the body is thrown to one side
the under leg is likely to go to sleep.
The body should be equally balanced.
Much crossing OF the legs is also danger
Gus in that il is lik civ to cause lopsided-
ness. The limbs should be allowed to
rest easily. SO that the flow of blood
is natural and the body equally balanced.

Using Dogs in War.

Considering how obviously hned dogs
are for police work and certain services
in war il is curious that more use has not
been made Of them IN modern times.
OF course. now that hand-to hand
fighting is TO all in,eHis and purposes
practically extinct. dogs are no longer
formidable in war. but tor sentry duty
and for finding the wounded on the bat
tIefeld. dogs--as was shown during the
Russo japanese War-can be Of great
service.
The. ancienis employed dogs extern
sively as sentries. So also did the En-
peror Charles V and Philip. King Of
Spain. while Napoleon urged Marinont
- fasier dogs to stakes around Alexan
dria to keep guard.
Dog senses are very much more acute
than those OF human beings especially
the senses OF scent and hearing, which, Of
course, are invaluable for police work

Maryland school teachers from
four counties. Montgomery, Prince
Georges, Charles and St Mary's will
have an excellent opportunity to get
in close touch with conditions at the
State Agricultural College during the

from Sept 7th to 18th. will be held
under the direction of the State Board
of Education. This is the third event
of a very busy summer at the Agri-

second being the three days confer

COVERING The PILE.

fine spray. While the solution is be
ing applie9, the grain should be stirred
constantly with hoe, shovel, or gar.
den rake. until every grain is
thoroughly wet, about three quarts OF
the solution to the bushel will be re
quired. After the grain is thoroughly
wet, it may be put in pile, and al

length Of time as stated above
Treated seed may be sown the fol

soon after treatment, the drill should
be SET to SOW from one-fourth to one

Pour one pint into 40 OF 50 gallons Of
water and mix thoroughly. Put the
grain to be treated in basket or in
a sack, one half bushel at a time, and
plunge the grain into basket ore sack

Then raise the sack OF basket for q

they will drain completely. or dump
the grain out in a pile. Cover the pile
with sack or canvas, and allow it to
remain in this way for Il hours or
more. Then the grain should be spread
out on clean floor TO dry. This
amount Of solution should be sufficient
for treating 40 to 80 bushels OF wheat.
A good plan is to treat the seed in
the evening and let it lay in the COW
cred pile until morning. About one
gallon of the solution win be required
for every bushel of grain. Another
method is to sprinkle the solution on
instead of immersing the grain. Ac-
cording to this method the seed should
be spread out thinly over a floor and

WOLVES ARE HARD TO TRAP
SHARES, TO Be at All Effective, Must Be
Handled Only With OIL
Soaked Gloves.

Wolves are the most difficult OF all
animals to traps, and it is usually By
working upon their uncomfortable curl
osity that they are most easily de-
ceived. The campfire set" is one OF
the best When man makes camp in
the forest the wolves, If there are any
near, are sure TO note his Whereabouts.
When he has gone they trot up TO in
vestigate the ground. and with due
caution pick up any scraps he may
have left lying about The campfire
set" is made as follows: First, hollow
out an oblong hole in the ground. JUS!
large enough to take the trap, and per
haps five inches deep. Cover the trap
with a sheet Of brown paper, and over
this fill the hole with damp earth.
Then light fire on the top OF it, and
into the fire. as it grows low, throw
few scraps OF raw meat
Should a wolf come along to inves'
tigate the place, he is sure to scent
the cooked meat. and will start
scratching in the ashes for it, thus, OF
course springing the trap.
One Of the greatest difficulties in
wolf-trapping is to hide the aforesaid
telltale scents, so keen is their sense
Of smell The traps must never be
handled with the naked fingers. Old
gloves, soaked In oil or fat, are used,
and it is best to smoke the trap over
"smudge" fire before setting it. and
then inclose it in paper bag.-H'

Perfect Primary Plan

One result OF the proposed elabor-
ate primary plan, to be effected by
the republican party, "all alone" is
certain TO be renewed pressure on
Governor Fletcher to call a special
session OF the Legislature to enact
the plan into law.
The plan is by no means perect,
as II stands, and, before being even
submitted TO a self-minded Legisla.
lure. it should be revised, especially
in the respect of requiring party en-
ollment as a requisite OF voting in
party primaries.
Unless some such rigid safeguard
is required the result will certainly
be tho oClitcra;ion of party lines as
far as ode, 80 Sarty organizations
are concerned.
The plan is hasty and deficient in
other respects, not as a temporary
expedient," as Mr.. De Boer calls it,
but as a proposed law, and certainly
the Governor would be justified in re-
fusing TO call the Legislature into ex-
traordinary session unless he we're
confronted with a definite plan, sup
ported by selflimited pledge.--ilut-

FRANK N. HOWE. EDITOR and Pub
BENNINGTON, VT, JULY .. 1914

While talking primary, senatorship
governorship and other state inter
ests, the people of Vermont should
not lose sight OF the fac. that the
great issue before the nation al the
present time is the restoration of the
protective tariff. The slight business
depression that has been in evidence
for some months has now struck the
country with blasting force. There
are probably a million men o4t OF
work already and the number is be.
ing added to by thousands every day.
1t is being felt even in Remington
where business dep ession as a rule
strikes lightly. In the present condi-
tion Of the nations of the world a pro
tectiye tariff is absolutely essential
to The prosperity of this country. The
present tariff law is far from being
a fee trade measure, but il was
enacted by men who believe in n tar
if for revenue only with tendency
toward free trade. The only tariff
that ever brings prosperity to the
United States is tariff enacted by
friends of the protective system, even
though they sometimes overdo it, 1t
is even more essential for the work
ing man than for the manufacturer
for the manufacturer usually has an
accumulation that at least enables
him to live comfortably during dun
season, while large part of work
ing men have no such reserve. The
men and women who work for Iiv-
ing should see to it that the bicker;
ings between the Republican and Pro
grcssiyo leaders are not allowed to
stand in the way of electing con
sress next fall pledged to the protec-
tive system.
