KILLING DAT SMUT.
Method Recommended to Prevent This
Serious Farm Pest.

Method Recommended to Prevent This
Serious Farm Pest.
From one fiftieth to one-twentieth Of
the oat crop is destroyed by smut every
year, says the Farm and Fireside. The
smut is on the seed and the formalde-
hyde treatment will kill it. Here are
the condensed rules of the Iowa expert
ment station for killing smut:
First.-Spread out forty bushels of
oats. five or six inches deep. on clean
floor.
Second.-Mix one pound of Tornado
hyde 40 per cent? with forty gallons OF
water in a barrel and stir well.
Third.-Sprinkle the oats with the
formaldehyde mixture until they are
saturated A good plan is for one man
to shovel the oats into pile while an
other sprinkles the mixture over them.
They are not exposed to the air for so
long time. and less gas is lost. BE
sure the pile is well soaked.
Fourth.-Cover the pile with blan'
kets or sacks to kc,D the gas in.
Fifth Leave ~ pile covered over
night. then remove the coverings and
shovel the oats out thin to dry. Shovel
them over from time to time. The
oats may be sown as soon as dry
enough to run through the drill, but
make allowance for the swollen cond1
ton of the seed when setting the drill
1t is good plan to treat the oats late
in the afternoon. Then they can be
left overnight without danger Of heat
ing.
If you have more seed than you neet
you can safely feed the surplus aftel
all the gas has escaped. This takes
about two days.

April so at the latest. If they are prop
erly cared for thereafter theys be-
gin to lay eggs at the very time eggs
are most wanted.
To great extent the poultrymen of
the country have overlooked this SIM
pie fact. For one thing, birds hatched
later in the spring or summer are not
inclined to become broody until late
the following season. and thus an I'M
profitable circle is formed Each year
bullets mature too late to produce In
the fall and winter, and they sit too
late for their offspring to do any bet
ter The poultryman who wishes to
get really good returns from his flock
must break this circle.
The growing use of incubators has
made this comparatively easier: There
is no reason why incubators should not
be filed in March apd early April and
the Matching over before May l. Ii no
incubator is available it may be pos
sible to secure broody hens in the
neighborhood. That they will repay
the trouble and expense necessary to
obtain them is indicated by results at
the government poultry farm in Mary
land. There it is not unusual to get a
daily average of one egg for every five
hens throughout rhe fall and winter,
and in some pens the average has been
as high as one egg for three birds. II
anything like this percentage could be
obtained on farms the ordinary poul-
try farmer would derive real benefit
from the high prices which eggs in
variably bring for period of several
months.

Feed For Chicks,

For the first three days chicks may
be fed a mixture of equal parts hard
boiled eggs and stale bread or stale
bread soaked in milk. When bread
and milk are used care should be exer-

bread. From the third or fourth day
until the chicks can eat wheat and

a good ration.-Kansas Farmer.

second about noon. The carriers report

water was so low that 1t is doubtful if
large boats can negotiate the bars which
occur at frequent intervals above Nenana.
1t is claimed that the water is lower now

Many Important Provi-

Senate Debate
PRINCIPAL CONTESTS

Set Date for Vote
(By Associated Press.l

Washington, Aug. 17,Many import
ant provisions of the revised war
tax bin, including the liquor section,
were tentatively approved by the
senate late yesterday after most of
the day had been spent in general
debate.
Most Of the uncontested sections
will be disposed Of today.
The principal contests, over income
and war profits taxes, are set for
Saturday, when Senator Simmons,
in charge Of the bill may seek to fix
a date for a hnal vote next week.
Provisions approved yesterday
virtually without debate and which
probably will be unchanged include:
Sections levying $140,000,000 addi-
tionaI taxes on distilled and restihed
spirits, and including clauses effec-
tive during the war, prohibiting their
importation and providing a prohibi-
tory tax Of $50 q hundred pounds
upon their future manufacture from
footstulfs. The house bin levied
S107,500,000 additional taxes and

prohibited the manufacture of dis
titled spirits only.
Increase of revenues from beer and
other malt and other fermented
liquors of $46,000,000 as compared
with sS7,5OO,OOO under the house
bill.
Virtually all of the stamp taxes
proposed, except that of bank checks
and parcel post packages went over.
The amusement section, estimated
to raise $23,000,000 compared with
$60.000,000 proposed by the house
with the house tax on club dues

The senate also adopted committee
amendments for a new tax upon
cameras to raise $500, 900, for reduc-
tion of the manufacturers gross
sales tax from to per cent on
perfumery and patent medicines.
Committee changes reducing the rate
on sporting goods to raise 100000
instead of $2,O00,000 and for a
substitute. tax on yachts and other
pleasure boats also were accepted.
Debate today was confined largely
to the sugar drawback" and war
profits provisions. Senator Bank
head again attacked the proposed
war profits section as grossly unjust
to small business interests.
The only discussion Of the whisky
and beer provisions was by Senator
Jones of Washington, a prohibition
advocate, who said that increased
taxes are welcomed by the liquor
interests in their fight against prohi-
bition.
