ing the concentrated formadehyde all
the bother of sWashing around in a
lot of water and waiting for the grain

1t Is the formaldehyde that kills the
smut in both methods.
If there is any doubt at all about
the way to apply either treatment, the
thing 10 do is to get in touch with
your county agent or write direct to
the Michigan Agricultural college. But
regardless of whether you prefer the
new method or the old one of them
should be used. 1t Is the duty of every
farmer now to insure his wheat crop.
No matter how clean the seed may
be, and no matter how highly recon-
mended it comes from the seedman,

safety.

There was a time when treating seed
for smut was somewhat OF tiresome
and laborious process, but II is no
longer so. Heretofore most farmers
who have been dls'nfecting their seed
wheat used the dilute fOrmaldcllydc
method, but now there Is Il way of
making the job even simpler. This new
smut remedy is known as the ''conccn-
trated formaldehyde. method." first de-
viscd by Cornell university.
With this treatment the formalde-
hyde Is used just ~ II comes from
the drug store, that is. without being
diluted. The seed wheat Is simply
spread in long heap on the barn floor.
Then one man sprays the grain with
the concentrated formaldehrd" while
another shovels il over, turning il from
one pile into another JEST n you would
cement. The spraying can be done
with small hand atomiZer of pint or
quart size. One pint Of Tornado
hyde is used for 80 bushels of grain.
Where smaller quantities than 40 bush
els are planted, correspondlngly small
ar amounts OF fOrmaldphyde are used
IA half pint for - bushels. or IL quar-
ter of pint for ten bushels.
After the grain is thoroughly spray
ed, ii should be covered with blankets
or canvas for four hOurs--no longer--
and then spread out thinly for an mir
ing. After this the grain is ready for
planting.
Last fall. under the direction Of
County Agent Smith. number Of
farmers i'm Kent county tried out the
new method. They secured perfect
stands and perfect smut control al II
cost of not more than two cents n

LIMBS MADE OF CARDBOARD
Artificial Leg, invented by Danish Doc
tor, Enables Wearer to Walk Soon
After Amputation.

A Danish doctor at a hospital in
Paris has invented n cardboard leg
which enables the wearer to go about
without crutches two days after his
limb has been amputated.
The materials used are two sheets
of cardboard about three-siXteenth OF
an inch thick, and bandages soaked in
a starch solution. After careful meas
urements have been taken the card
board is cut into what looks like two
peg-tops, which after being soaked In
the bath fold round each other and are
secured with bandages.
The principle Is that Of an egg In a
cup. and the patient can wear the leg
long before the wound is completely
healed. He can thus get air and exer-
else, which IT is usually impossible to
obtain at this phase Of his GONZALES
cence; also he has to suffer none of
the Inconvenience Of crutches, stick
sufficing for his needs. The leg, prop
erly treated, lasts from six months to
a year, by which time a permanent
artificial limb is ready to be fitted.

NO LETUP IN EDUCATION

ment coming from the Michigan Agri-
cultural college, and there are signs
that other of the states schools of
higher learning will follow M. A. C.'s

There Is at present no reason why
our schools should begin making

recent public statement. IF it be-
comes necessary, decisions to shorten
courses and terms can be arrived at
over night and put into effect almost
as quickly. We propose to proceed as
we would normally until 1t becomes APP

corn or callus from ones feet.
A few drops of this new ether COM

This new way to rid ones feet of
