grain may be either loosely inclosed
in sacks or put loose into a tub or vat
with the solution. Agitate the sacks
or stir loose grain occasionally so
that the entire surface of every grain
will be thoroughly wet. Instead of
being immersed the seed oats may be
spread on a clean floor or canvas and
sprinkled with the solution and shov-
eled over during the process so that
they will be wet evenly as in the
other method Not over a gallon of
solution will be needed for every
bushel of dry grain. After sprinkIing,
shovel the seed into a pile, cover it
with sacks wet with the solution, and
allow it to stand for at least two
hours before spreading it out to dry.
Precautions: The oats may be seed
ed as soon as dry enough to run
through the drill. If the seed is still
moist however the drill must be set
to SOW more to the acre than if it is
dry. The quantity which should be
sown may be determined by measur-
ing a given bulk before and after
treatment and figuring the proportion
of increase. After treating do not
expose the seed to freezing until it
is thoroughly dry.
Do not allow the treated seed to
come into contact with old sacks, bins
or machinery in which there may be
smut spores. If such must be used,
scald them or wash them first with
the formaldehye solution.

Oat Smut Prevention.

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE average
annual losses from smut in oats are
greater than those caused by any
other preventable cereal disease in
the United states. Treating the seed
with hot water or with formaldehyde
solution before sowing is an easy,
cheap, and effective way Of prevent
ing this disease. The latter method,
which is the most available for gen
eral use. is here briefly summarized.
Both methods are described in detail

A popularity of deaf cats is that
they seem to have a very great sense
of feeling in their feet pads. 1t is
almost an impossibility for heavy
animal to approach a deaf cat from
behind without giving it warning, and
this may be attributed to the extreme

PAPERMAKERS QUIT USING
ANILINE DYES.
Mills Have Experienced i'm Vain With
American COlOring Matter.

All Pacific coast paper factories
have begun the gradual elimination
of aniline dye from their print pap
er making processes, according u
announcement made at the offices Of
the Crown Willamette and the Haw-
ley Pulp and Paper company mills
Already the use of aniline products
has been reduced so per cent and
gradually it will be dropped, owing to
the tremendous increase in the cost
of the products since the war begun
The price has advanced from 80 q
cents pound to SIS pound.
The ultimate result of the elimina
tion of aniline from the print paper
making process will be to turn out
newspaper stock the natural color OF
the pulp. The mills here have eX-
perimented with American dyes OF
fered as substitutes for aniline, bal

SOME COAT; WORTH $4,000. 90
Garment OF Rare Value Taken to
Cedar Rapids Store for Storage.

With no idea of giving a tip 10
Chicago Slim" a Cedar Rapids store
is housing a $4,000 coat. says the
Gazette.
How would you like to be the own
er of a Russian crown sable coat
lined with silk costing S15 a yard,
with buttons down the front of solid
gold, each conferred with a diamond:
No one in Cedar Rapids owns that
coat. 1t is the property of woman
living in Iowa who has brought the
garment to the Schoen fur store for
repairs and storage.
Perhaps never before has SO won
derful fur coat been seen in this
city. When the owners husband was
in the diplomatic service assigned to
China, which at the time of the Box
er rebellion, he made loan to one of
the governors of Chinese province
who needed money during tina upris-
ing. AS security he gave the Iowan
the sable coat and later it became the
permanent property of the American.
The average person who sees the
coat believes it to be a heavy gar
ment, but after lifting, one Is not sur
prised that it's weight is hut eight
pounds. The fur is silver tipped and
of beautiful coloring. Seventy skins,
each skin eighteen inches long and
three and half inches wide, costing
$500 a skin, went into the making
of this coat, which is of the man
DARN style, and was once worn by
the governor from whom the purchase
was made. 1t is to be reno leled for
the wife of the owner.
The great value of the Goa. is en-
HANGED because of the inability tc
get crown sable. Three years ago an
edict issued in Russia prohibited the
killing of sable for a period of fifteer
years, the animals being almost ex
tinct at the time. 1t will be twelve
years now before another sable can
be obtained. The garment is insured
and carefully safeguarleG.

I0WANS HAVE A
F|REPRooF|NG LIQUID
Preparation Will Make Infiammabls
Materials Fireproof.
1T MEETS ALL TESTS
MADE ON IT
Block of Wood Soaked i'm Liquid Re.
sisted Blaze Twice as Hot as
Ordinary Fire-Will Have
Patent.

Iowa City, May ia liquid pre-
paration which will make lntiamma-
BILE materials absolutely fireproof has
been perfected in the State Univer-
sity of Iowa, according to an official
here today.
The liquid is a higher develop.
ment of that discovered several
months ago by Arthur Aren't, Bad
ger druggist. Aren't announces that
after seventeen months experiment
ing that he had found fluid which
would make wood, cloth, and like ma
terials impervious to flames. He i'm
mediately received offers in large
figures for the secret of his discov-
cry, provided he could prove it's val
ue by practical tests. 1t withstood
the fire tests but was found to be So
luble in water. This made it imprac-
tical, because it would be washed out
by rains.
Aren't came to the University and
enlisted the expert assistance of Dean
WILDER j. Teeters and Assistant Pro-
fessor r. A. Kuever in experiments
to get an insoluble compound. The
three worked night and day for a
week At last they began to notice
reactions that were new TO their
knowledge of chemicals and they
found that they had developed the
compound they were seeking.
When soaked into wood or cloth,
the new preparation evaporates; leav-
ing a mineral residue that will not
dissolve. In careful tests it was
found that a block of wood which had
been soaked in the fluid and dried
resisted successfully the blaze of a
Bunsen burner, which develops from
700 to 1000 degrees of heat, or at
least twice as much as the ordinary
fire. After an hour in this intense
heat the block showed only cnarred
spot and was not afire. A similar
block not treated, when put over the
blaze, was reduced to ashes in just
nine minutes.
Any kind of cloth treated with the
compound will char but cannot be
made to burst into flame. An inter
esting test showed that gasoline will
burn off material containing the COM
pound without destroying it, while
untreated material will be entirely
consumed.
The possibilities Of the discovery
are so far-reaching that the originat-
ors have not even attempted TO meas
ure them. They say it can De pro-
duced at prices that will make its use
lin hundreds Of ways practical. Pine
shingles soaked in it will be asssafe
from fire as slate shingles, curtains,
wall paper, rugs, carpets and other
household materials can be made as
non-combustible as they are now
combustible. Everything in a house
could be fireproofed SO that it would
be impossible for fire to spread no
matter where or how it started.
The original inventor is now seek
ing a patent. In the meantime he is
guarding the formula of his discoy-
cry. He has sold his drug store and
expects to devote all his time to de-
velopment of his notable discovery.

Pointers for the Housewife.

Currants have to be washed care
fully both to get rid of the insects
and to make free that poison used to
kill currant worms is not on the
fruit. The quickest way to do this
is to buy a 10-cent corn pepper and
keep it for just this purpose. Put
your currants in the pepper and close
the lid. First pour a dipper of salt
water over the currants. Ordinary
water will not make the insects let
go their hold on the berries, but when
the salt water strikes them they curl
up and drop off. Then hold the
pepper under the cold water faucet
and shake it gently. The currants
will be washed clean within two
minutes.
When cooking meat that is inclin-
ed to be tough, add at least tea
spoonful of vinegar to the water.
This will make it tender.
One of the most methodical of
housewives tells how to fold table
cloths in a way which lengthens the
life and insures the linen being alb
solutely fiat upon the table. The idea
is to fold in three lengthwise, and
so avoid the many squares made by
folding across in the usual way. The
parts that wear first are always where
creases are. Tile strongest threads
in damask run horizontally, and
are therefore the ones that should
stand the strain. The three folds
are arranged as a screen, and to put
away the cloths are rolled up lightly
and tied with fine ribbon or soft
Irvine.

GRAyELED ROADS o. X.
State Engineer Advises Gravel For
Most of the Roads in Iowa
Land Values Increased $13
Per Acre on Hard Roads.

Des Moines. May 15.-Chief Engi-
neer Mcdonald, of the highway COM
mission, before the better roads COM
mittee for consultation last Tuesday
explained that his office considered a
graveled road when maintained to BE
the right kind of hard road for al
most all traffic conditions in Iowa
outside of the immediate vicinity Of
cities of $4,000 inhabitants or up
wards and that when the so-called
paved types of road are built near to
large cities property within the city
should pay larger share III our road
taxes than it now does for such con-
struction for the reason that mu III
of the traffic which makes suc1 a road
necessary originates in the city itself
The better roads committee accept
ed Mr.. Mcdonald report and advice
as being the correct road policy for
this STATE.
Mr.. E. t. Meredith, chairman OF q
reported the result o.
his Investigations as to hard roads
and their effects upon farm values
in other states. He reported letters
from 400 farmers living on har1
roads in six states. Every farmer re-
plying to his letter reported hard
roads a. good investment. Not one
seemed to be dissatisfied Everybody
seemed to prefer his own kind Of a
road whether it were gravel, concrete
or brick. When averaged the 400
farmers reported their farms to have
been increased in value $13 per acre
by graveled roads. Nobody in any o:
the six midwestern states suggested
that the hard road had created bar
densome taxation. These 400 farmers
were asked the direct question as TO
whether they would take the money
back they had paid for the improv al
roads and go back to the old condi-
tions and not single one indicates
| SHtSS W uU 81.
The committee, with all members
present excepting j. M. Brockway
and E. F. Rose, considered the ques
ton of special benefit. Many states
charge a portion of the cost of per-
manent road work to nearby proper
ty and the question in Iowa is i'm
portant in that the main roads ma
urally will be those to be improv,
first and the property on those roads
will receive more benefit than prop
crty farther away. This phase of the
road problent will be considered again
OF the next meeting of the committee.
Mr.. ID. w. Norris reported to the
committee that mass meetings in ten
counties in Iowa this winter number
ing from 200 to 900 people in atten-
dance had endorced the bond planoof
distributing the cost of permanent
road and bridge work and that
boards of supervisors in many coun-
ties had decided to do much perman-
ent grading and gravel construction
upon the bond plan this wear. The
reports Of county engineers SHOW
that over million in bonds were IS
sued by counties in Iowa last year
for bridge and road work. The COM
mittee, however, will recommend
that these road bonds should be vot-
ed by the people.

Principally at 9 o'clock the big ball
began, and the boxes and galleries
were soon filled nearly to capacity.
For a time the floor was occupied
solely by masked and gaily costumed
jewellers, but later in the evening dane
ing was open to all. -
