Spores Enable Disease to Be
Carried Over From One
Year to the Other.

1t is estimated that the ann ual dam
age to oats through smut amounts to
something like one eighth of the crop.
seed is treated before planting most.
ii not all. of this smut can be avoided.
The loose smut Of oats is the most
common fungus disease Of the crop.
The disease is carried over from one
year to the next by the dust like spores
clinging to the seed oats. These spores
| may be killed by the use of a forma-
lin solution. Clean seed may he con-
taminated by thrcshing scparators that
have threshed smutty oats or through
bags. bin or drills.
The formalin treatment is the best
method OF control for the disease. The
following directions are given for the
treatment: Mix one pint of formaln
Gao per cent formaldehydc). which can
be secured at any drug store, with 40
to SO gallons of water This solution is
of sufficient strength to XIII the smut
spores, but will not injure the vitality
of the seed.
| Methods.
| Spread the seed out on n canvas or
barn floor and sprinkle thoroughly
with the solution. Shovel In heap
when the seed is thoroughly wet and
cover with canvas, with bags or with
carpets to keep the grain moist for ut
least two hours. Dry by spreading out
the pile and stirring occasionally. II
loose bags are available the grain can
be immersed in the solution and then
spread to dry at the end Of two hours
About a gallon Of the solution will be
required for a bushel Of seed. 1t is
a good plan to take some OF the solu :
tion that is left and thoroughly 60
over the grain drill. While this is not
the most effective treatment in the
| world for the drill the chances are that
1t will do some good, more than enough
to repay one for the trouble.
Formalin Is poisonous and is some
what irritating to the eyes and nos
trils. In this very weak solution there
is no danger from handling it. In case
all the treated seed is not used, If il
| is left lying loose on the floor of tn,

can then be used for feed. Dat smut Is
easily destroyed by this mcthcd. Raise

Early Planting of Gardens
Big Help to Family Larder
Easy to Ascertain When Garden Soil May Be Cultivated
Varieties Of Vegetables Depend on the
Climatic Conditions.

1t is essential that the gardens be
planted as early as possible in the
spring. for after a winter spent with
out green vegetables there Is nothing
tastes better in the spring than a mess
Of green stuff. A common test to de-
terminc when a garden soil Is ready
for working is to take n handful of
earth from the surface and close the
fingers tightly on it. If the earth
comoacted in this way is dry enough,
for cultivation, 1t will fall apart when
the hand Is opened. While on light
sandy soils this test is not so good.
still with those soils there is less dam
ger from injury if worked when wet.
1t Is the heavy soils where damphess
is dangerous. In putting manure on
garden soils it is safe to put az much
as 20 to 80 tons to the acre. The
manure should be distributed evenly
over the surface and plowed on spaded
under.
grown depends largely on the indi-
vidual tastes of the family and also
on the climate. There are some parts
or Montana where the prevalence of
frosts prohibits beans and similar
easily damaged crops until late in the
season. On most farms space in the
garden Is not at premium and hence
there is less planning needed to con-
serve the amount OF land used. Rad
ish and lettuce are two of the earli-
est and best crops to plant in the gar
den. Lettuce can be used all sum-
mer and there is no early vegetable
more appreciated than radishes. An
other advantage of these two crops is
their quick maturity. Peas are an
other crop that can be planted early

cows are allowed to. remain in the pas
lures until milking time. The dairy.
man should eradicate the pest. II pos
sible: but in the meantime some meas
ures should be adopted to prevent
losses from tainted milk.
'The' dairy division Of the United
States Department of Agriculture has
conducted some experiments at the
Beltsville, Nd. farm in order to de.
termine the length of time that must
elapse between the feeding Of wild on
ions and milking time In some Of the
feeding tests one-half pound, In others
one pound of wild onion tops were
fed at different lengths Of time before
milking. 1t was found that increasing
the length Of time between feeding and
milking decreased the unpleasant odor
and flavor. There was only a faint
onion flavor in the milk drawn from
cows four hours after feeding, and
even this almost disappeared when the
milk had stood four hours. In all
cases the cream was more noticeably
affected than the skim milk: in some
cases there was no faint whatever in
the latter.
1.-THE results Of these feelings trials
show that the dairyman should keep
his cows from pastures badly infested
with wild onions for at least four
hours before milking in order to avoid
onion favored milk. This may not be
a safe rule, however, II any Of the cows
should eat more than a pound OF the
onion tops. The department suggests
that every farmer with onion infested
pastures should test the question for
himself and determine how long it is
safe to allow the cows in the pasture
before milking.
1.-The wild onion natures in midsum-

MORE THAN GOOD RESOLVES" NEEDED TO
 GET OUT OF DEBT

In the March Woman's Home Com panion is an interesting article on debt and how to get out of it by woman who was almost ruined by her husbands carelessness and extrava- gance. Among other things she says:
 "lf family that has been living outside it's income wants to start to live inside, something more than good resolve is necessary. Usually that man and woman have got to form wholly new circle of friends. They must leave those who are living out side, and take up their abode among those who are living inside. Man is a gregarious animal. His will-power needs all the held it can get from a congenial and approving public opin- ion."
