solution.
The wheat should then be covered
with bags or blankets to keep the
fumes of the formalin within. 1t should
stand in this way for from six to
twelve hours and should then be dried
thoroughly by spreading out In thin
layers and stirring frequently. The
seed is then ready for sowing. Be sure
that the wheat is not put in bags that
are infested with smut when carrying
it to the field and be sure that your
drill is disinfected with formalin and
dried thoroughly before drilling the
wheat in.

smut of wheat and smut Of oats con-
sists of soaking the seed in het water
at temperature of 1872 degrees to 1873
degrees f. for ten to fifteen minutes.
This consists of some means of heat
ing the boiler, such as a large kettle
or boiler, three large barrels or watts,
pals or baskets with perforated bot
toms, sacks and good thermometer.
A good thermometer is absolutely
necessary for all hot water treatments,
as the use of an instrument which is
not accurate will result in injury to
the terminating powers of the grain on
one hand or in failure to prevent the
smut on the other.
The baskets can be made by perfOrat-
ing the bottoms of ordinary galvanized
iron or tin pals or small tubs with
numerous holes, or special galvanized
iron baskets may be ordered from the
tinsmith.
These should hold from a half to a
bushel of grain, and the bottom should
be made of strong, fine wire screen or
of closely perforated tin plate. The
holes should not be so large that ker-
nels of wheat will go through. Two
such baskets are sufficient, but three
or more often prove convenient.
The barrels are numbered 1, and 3,
respectively. Hot water from the ket-
tie or boiler is poured into barrels Nos.
1 and until they are a little more
than half full, and cold water is put in
No. 3. The temperature of the water
in barrel No. 2 is then brought to 1873
degrees F. by pouring in cold or hot
water as needed, while the water in
No. 1 is kept at lis degrees to 12O de-

SMUT Of SEED GRAINS.

The Treatment Is Neither Difficult Nor
Expensive.
The treatment of seed grains in order
to prevent smut has become a recog-
nized farm practice, says the Farm
Progress. 1t pays whether the forma-
lin or other treatment is used. The
treatments for smut are neither diff
cult nor expensive.
The formalin may be got at any
drug store at a cost Of from rs cents to
80 cents per pound or cheaper when
bought in quantities. One pound is suf-
f1cient for forty-five to sixty bushels of
grain. 1t should be used at the rate of
one ounce to three gallons of water,
and as rule one gallon of the mixture
is sufficient to treat one bushel of
grain.
The seed wheat may be treated by
spreading the grain in thin layers on a
smooth floor, canvas or on the hard
ground and sprinkling with diluted
formalin, so as to thoroughly wet the
grain with the mixture. Then shovel

CITY BEAUTIFUL scoNofTIoMs Far From Present State of Danielson Paving Near Station Needed. .s

Once upon a time DanieIson was inspired by the efforts and the prom ises of City Beautiful campaign. War was declared. on bilTboards so prominently located in the heart of the borough as to be regarded as a hideous. multi-colored nightmare and their obliteration was forthwith de- creed. Much was said and something was done toward freeing the streets from unnecessary litter-garbage cans were supplied and placed at needed points. An era of beautifyff1g about the business center included the plant ing of shrubbery about the gates. at the Main street crossing.
 The brighten the corner where you are movement seemed destined to flower into results that would produce some degree of eivic magnifcence tually died a lingering death
 All of which leads up to the fact that the approach to Danielson from the railroad station as it is to be seen on any of these bright March morn ings is enough to make anyone with a sense of the aesthetic or grain, of civic pride weep for shame

The commission again emphasizes
what It considers the need for more
