other cereal crop, but other cereals
have their own smut diseases.
Loose Smut.
The other wheat smut occurring in
this country, known commonly as
loose smut, is not so serious as bunt,
although it probably produces an av-
erage loss of three-fourths of one per
cent of the total wheat crop of the
country. Loose smut may be prevent
ed by treating the seed by the Jensen
hot-water method or some modification
of it.
The Jensen method consists in soak
ing the seed for ten to fifteen minutes
in hot water at temperature of 1872
to 1873 degrees, Fahrenheit. 1t is high
ly important that the water shall not
rise over 1875 degrees or fall below 1870
degrees, Fahrenheit. A temperature
below this will not kill the smut, while
temperature too high may affect
the termination of the seed The grain
after treatment should be Immediate
ly spread out to dry. If it cannot be
spread at once it should be dipped into
cold water to cool at once, and spread
as soon as possible.

Words in English Language.

The English language is constantly
growing and almost every PERSONS
vocabulary changes from year to year.
The first edition of Webster's diction-
airy, two quarto volumes, published in
1928, contained 10000 words and this
number was increased by several
thousand in the second edition Of
Webster's dictionary in 1910. An edi-
ton Of 1890 contained $4,000 words
and the latest edition has more than
100000. Many of these are technical.
scientific, or for other reasons re-
stricted to limited use, but neverthe-
less they are words. Obviously an
educated man has larger vocabulary,
or command of words, than an unedu-
Gated one and professional writer or
public speaker needs more than a day
laborer. Shakespeare had a vocabu-
larry of about $1,000 words, but some
that he used are now obsolete, while
large number of new ones have been
added. Milton used about 5000 words.
1t is not likely that any public speak
or ever uses more than few thou
sand words or the average citizen or
man on the street more than a few
hundred.

True Christian Life

To choose sin is to reject Christ; to
be ashamed, for fear of man, to do
what Christ commands, is to deny
Christ; to do, for fear of man, what
Christ forbids, what is it but, with Pr
late, to condemn Christ? For a Chris
tian to be guilty Of willful, deadly sin,
what is it but to cruelty Christ afresh
and put him to an open shame? DO
what ye know to be pleasing to God,
and avoid, by the grace of God, what
We know will displease him, and God
will enliven your patience and enlarge
your faith and brighten your hopes
and kindle your love. Only be very
diligent not knowingly to do anything
which displeases God; be very dill.
gent not to tamper with your con.
science and do what you suspect may
displease God.-Edward B. Pussy.

FOSSIL FOREST IN AMERICA
Yellowstone Park Contains One of the
Most Remarkable Of Natural
Curiosities.

Remarkable fossil forests exist in
Yellowstone park, the most remark
able, it is believed. Of the several fos-
sill forests vhich have been discovered
there others in Egypt, in Cali
fornia anu n ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS in the
Yellowstone most Of the trees were
entombed in their original upright po-
scattered about the ground.
In Arizona, for instance, the fos-
SLICED trunks have evidently been car
ried long distance from where they
originally grew.
In the Yellowstone the trees now
stand where they grew, and where
they are entombed by the outpouring
of various volcanic materials.
Now as the softer rocks surrounding
them are gradually worn away they
are left standing erect on the steep
hillsides just as they stood when they
were living; in fact, it is difficult at
little distance to distinguish some Of
these fossil trunks from the lichen-
covered stumps of kindred living spe-
cies. Such an aggregation of fossil
trunks is therefore we'll entitled to be
called true fossil forest.
1t should not be supposed, however,
that these trees still retain their limbs
and smaller branches, for the mass of
volcanic material falling on them
stripped them down to bare, upright
trunks.

ChamberIain's Recipe for Success.

One night at Lady Jeune's house Jo-
seph Chamberlain said to me that he
believed any man of even moderate en-
dOwment could attain any given aim
which he set before him with unre-
hitting effort and enduring to the
end" To my question. why, then. do
so many men fall short of their ambi-
tions?" he answered They come to
the place where they turn back. They
may have killed the dragon at the first
bridge and at the second, perhaps at
the third; but the dragons are always
more formidable the further we go.
Many turn back disheartened, and
very few will meet the monsters to
the end. Almost none is willing to
have try with the demon at the last
bridge; but if he does, nc has won

ment of Agriculture)
Wheat growers in this country not
infrequently experience serious losses
caused by preventable diseases Wheat
site fungi, three of which are classed
as SHUTS. Two of these smuts are
| common pests in the wheattields of
North America, the other, commonly
known as flag smut, is thus far I'M
known to this continent, though it is
other parts of the world where wheat
culture has been in progress for cen
turtles, says the department of agri-
culture
OF the two smuts, bunt or covered
smut of wheat, sometimes referred to
as sinking smut, is found wherever
wheat is grown, sometimes resulting
in losses to the farmers of the United
States of $20,000,000 or more annually.
Not infrequently fields planted to UNI
treated seed and giving promise of
yielding 80 to 40 bushels per acre Of
good wheat, will produce crop Of
covered smut amounting, in some
cases, to as much as 40 to 80 per cent
| of the crop.
This smut disease is caused by a
parasitic fungus which attacks the
growing wheat plant before the first
leaf appears above ground. Once in
side the attacked Seeding it continues
its growth and by the time the wheat
begins to head the diseased plants pro-
duce crop of smut. If we examine
the heads Of such a plant we find in
stead of normal wheat grains only a
lot Of smut balls. In other words, the
| materials produced by the living plant
for the purpose of building up sound
wheat grains have been consumed by
the parasite in forming it's masses of
smut spores which finally occupy the
exact position in the wheat heads that
would have been filled by the kernels
had they been allowed to develop
These smut balls consist of nothing
but millions Of spores inclosed in each
case by thin enveloping membrane
When the smut balls are crushed the
spores give Off an odor not unlike that
of herring brine. The liberated
spores become attached to the seed
which, if planted without previous
treatment, may produce another crop
of smutted wheat.

FAVORITE DISH IN MEXICO
American kitchens-HoW They
Should Be Made.

The Mexican recipe for making hot
tamales is to cook one or two chick
ems until tender. Remove all meat
from the bone, shred it IN the chop
ping machine and add &c it the liquor
in which the chicken has been
cooked. This is seasoned with any
desired condiments, especially red
pepper, and thickened with coramcal.
The rolls are about the size of link
sausages and they are wrapped in the
inner husks of green corn. Tie the
husks with strings at each end and
boil them for three hours. 1t is best
to taste the preparation before add
ing meal to note whether it is rich
or needs more seasoning, allowing for
the meal to be added, which will take
up the sharp flavor.
To make tamale pie, take one pound
of hamburg steak or leftover meat
cut fine, add one level cupful of seed
ed raisins, one dozen stoned olives,
salt, pepper and red pepper to taste.
Stew until tender and thcken with
one tablespoonful of cornmeal Then
stir one and one-half cupfuls of corn
meal into boiling sailed water, add
one tablespoonful of shortening and
cool to the consistency of mush. Line
a buttered baking dish with about
two-thirds of this mixture, pour in
the meat, cover with the remaining
mixture and bake for one-half hour.

USE OF CARBON BlSULPHIDE
Affords Rather Cheap and Simple
Treatment for Graduating Grain
Moths and Weevls.

(By T. J. TALBERT. Missouri College of
Agriculture)
stltch IN time saves nine, but even
the time may not remedy the damage
one would have prevented. Usually
late threshing has left the grain in
the stack or shock exposed to the
attacks of the grain moth and the
weevil this year Fortunately, a rath-
er simple, cheap treatment with car
bon bisulphide will destroy all the
weevils and moths that infest stored
grains. This liquid looks very much
like water but when poured on rags
or into shallow pans on the top of
grain, rapidly forms gas so much
heavier than air that it goes down
among the kernels, destroying all
weevils and moths.
The mperature, size, shape, and
tightness of bins or granaries are i'm
portant factors. 1t is not worth
while to fumigate when the tempera-
ture is below 80 degrees F. More
bisulphide is required and even then
unsatisfactory results are obtained.
OhO PouAu VI lOI every on
bushels of grain will be enough if the
bin is tight and the temperature
above 70 degrees. Another pound
should be used for every 200 cubic
feet of space above the grain in the
bin.
The liquid may be thrown directly
on the grain without injury, but bet
ter results will be secured by pour
ing it into shallow pans, scattered
over the surface, or if these are not
available, it may be poured upon old
rags or cotton waste. One-half pound
or at most not more than a pound,
should be poured into each pan. The
liquid may be poured down through
a gas pipe in order to get it near the
center and bottom of very large bins.
Plug one end of the pipe with cotton
or old rags, push it down through the
grain and then remove the plug by
pushing a rod down through the pipe.
The granary or bins should be
kept closed as tightly as possible for
SO hours, and if the seed is not to be
pOWCu, III 10 nc 81 all VIII
be just as good for feed after treat
ment as before, but if it is to be
sowed, care should be taken not to
use too much bisulphide or to fumi-
gate too long. 1t is often convenient
to apply the liquid Saturday afternoon
and fumigate until the next Monday
morning.
The gas is very explosive and no
lighted cigars, pipes. lanterns, or
matches should be allowed in or near
the building until it has been thor
oughly aired The work should always
be done in the daytime. Cost may
be kept down by securing commercial
bisulphide instead of the more expen-
sive chemically pure liquid. often kept
by drug stores. Storekeepers will
doubtless to glad to order the more
economical form If it is not already
in stock.
For directions in special cases,
write to the College Of Agriculture,
Columbia, Mo Be sure to state the
size of the granary or bin to be tu-
migated.
