TREATING OATS FOR SMUT
Mixture of Formadehyde and Water a Practical and Effective Method

Seed oats this spring must be treated for smut Nearly all spring oats last year smutted badly and all seed now available are probably badly infested. Treat the seed with formal dehyde and avoid loss from smut.
 l. Mix one pound tone pint) of for maldehyde with forty gallons of water in a large size barrel.
 2. Put bushel or more of oats IF two bushel bag Ga cheap gunny sack of very coarse open materiaD.
 3. Dip bag and oats into the soIu- ton and shake up and down until all oats are thoroughly wet. Elevate and drain.
 4 Allow the oats to remain in the bag for about two hours, or empty ID 9 heap and leave for about two hours.
 5. Spread them out to dry. When nearly dry, drying may be hastened by sprinkling them with thoroughly air slaked lime.
 6. Sow about ten per cent more per acre to allow for the swelling.
 T. The machinery and receptacles to be used in handling the oats after they are treated should first be thor oughly cleaned with the solution.
 Note. Mix the solution just before using. Apply the treatment just be- fore seeding. For convenience, a pulley may be arranged directly over the open end of the barrel and through it a rope can be used for dipping, shaking and draining the bags of oats.
 Another method sometimes used in treating seed with formaldehyde, con- sists of spreading the seed out in a three-inch layer on a smooth, clean floor, sprinkling them with the solu- tion, and then shoveling back and forth to insure contact of all seed with the solution. The treated seed are then shoveled into a pile and coy cred with sacks or canvass to keen the gas enclosed. After six or eight hours the covers are removed and the oats spread out to dry.

method you can hold hog cholera in check, especially if sanitary precau- tions are taken.
 The double method consists of using serum and small quantity of hog cholera virus (blood taken from a hog about to die from cholera) The dou- ble method usually produces immunity against cholera for life
 In using the double treatment con- siderable caution should be used A veterinarian should be summoned as there is danger of producing hog chol- era if the doses are not properly given. If cases are brought to the at tention of the state veterinarian i'm mediate aid will be given.

The DardanelIes.

The strait known as the Dardanelles tthe Hellespont of the ancients) unites the Sea of Marmora with the Aegean, Q part of the Mediterranean Sea. It is so called from two castles by which the narrowest part is pro- tected and which preserve the name of the city of Dardanus in the Troad. In terms of the treaty of 1S41, con- firmed by the treaty of Paris of 1856, no foreign ship of war may enter the strait except by permission of the government of Turkey, and even mer- chant vessels are only allowed to pass the defending forts during the day.

EVERY HOG RAISER KNOWS . CHOLERA |S CON ThC|OUS

gle and Double Treatment With An
 t-Hog Cholera Serum Properly
 Given Effective.
 Every hog raiser knows that hog cholera is a contagious and infectious disease. If no germs were brought into the herd there would be no hog cholera. The germs are frequently carried by dogs, birds, the feet of peo- pie, wagon wheels and running water All new hogs brought on the farm should be Quarantined 30 days before they are allowed to run with other hogs. In cases of death by hog cholera all carcasses should be burned. Quick lime is.a good disinfectant, and can easily be scattered about the hog lots Another effective disinfectant is six ounce solution of U. S. P. creolin to one gallon of water.
 Ii hog cholera is in the herds of the neighborhood, vaccinate at once with anti-hOg cholera serum. This will not cure the disease but will prevent the healthy hogs from becoming infected
 There are two methods of vaccina- tion, the single tor serum alone) and the double tor simultaneously methods By using the serum alone method, there is no danger of injecting healthy hogs with cholera.
 The objection to the single treat ment is that it only gives immunity against cholera for certain indefinate length Of time. By using this
