TIIF SMUT TAHASITE.
If smutted wheat or oats nro sown,
the smut parasite grows up with the
stalks, attacks tho funning grain nnd
causes great loss. Hence i( we kill
the smut on tho seed bo.'ore sowing it,
tho danger of smut in tho crop is im
mensely reduced. To absolutely kill
tho smnt spores, immerse the seed
grain in water nt 133 degrees F, add
ing hot water ns needed to keep up
the heat, but never letting it go above
133 degrees or beloty 133 decrees.
The immersion tuut be nt least twelve
but not over fifteen minutes, when the
seed ruut be at once dipped into cold
water, or cold water ponred over it,
then spread ont to dry. Trofessor
Arthur, of Indiana, recommends a
temperature of HO degrees when the
seed is pnt in, renewing it in a few
minutes when down to 135 decrees.
This does not injure the seed, ns is npt
to be the case with Milestone (sulphate

Since the fungus naturo of potato
rot has becomo known, farmers nre
less iuclined to draw their potato tops
to the barn yard than they used to be.
Xo quicker way of spreading the
fungus can be devised than mixing it
with fermenting rtannrc. Xeither
thouldcnttle bo fed the rotten pota
toes from the cellar during the winter.
Somo of the worst affected pieces will
be rejected by the cow and be thrown
into tho ninunre pile. The potato
etalks often uto affected by the fungus
when it does not reach the potato
tubers. But tho potato top has valu
able manurial properties audit shonld
not bo wasted. It is very rich in
potash, and ns it rots very quickly, it
makes tho bet covering for straw
berry plants Inte in the fall. The
vineB will bo rotted down early in the
spring, and will not need to" bo re
moved. They will furnish sufficient
protection in winter without danger
of smothering the strawberry plants,
nnd in spring will make a rich mulch
that will help the growth of the berry
crop. Boston Cultivator.
rnKTAnisa fob the winter DAnvr.
Dop't be guilty of the carelessness
or nobusiness-liko thoughtlessness of
having cows served now or during the
next three months so they will come
in during the flush of feed and flood
of milk. Xeither cream nor butter
brings so much then, and is really
difficult to dispose of. If tho cows
rest any time, let them rest then
(while form work is driving), and
calve in July, August or September.
Coming in at this time they will give
more milk than they would otherwise
do when milk and all dairy products
are high, and more nearly equalize the
work of the year. Somo foolishly
fear it will be impossible to get the
cows with calf if service is delayed,
but this proved to be a fallacy. The
cow'a condition should be watched
and the should be treated patiently
while in season, but the time when
she is next to calve may be controlled
as most things in business lifo. Xa
turo calls for ninety per cent, of the
calves in spring, when even a calf will
scarcely sell because there are so many
of them. But tho sensible farmer
does not always let nature dominate.
Ue has the market and other artificial
conditions to meet, and must cultivate
fresh cows at the periods of greatest
profit. Xew England Homestead.
riOKIXO AND MARKETING THE QUINCE.
The error of many growers is the
time of picking and the manner ot
handling. As quinces do not blow off
like apples or pears, many growers
pick when convenient and that may be
only after they have become yellow.
An experience of years in growing,
buying and shippiug quinces causes
the writer to believe there is a right
time to pink ; that two days before tho
time is too early, aud two duys after
that right time is too lute for the good
of the fruit. A little too early, the
fruit is not well colored aud it docs
not present its best appearauce in
market ; a little too late, especially if
the weather be warm, and it is over
ripe, nnd it is just then that blaok
spot. There it exists, gets is its work
rapidlr.
l'eople nre cautioned, ovr and over
again to handle fruit carefully, and
this applies more to quinces than to
any other fruit. A slight bruise, from
dropping into the banket or turning
into tho barrel, in foity-eight hours
has become an ill-looking brown
patch. Klack packing in the barrel is
disastrous, fur fruit carelessly put up
this way will hardly briu freight
charges. The moving about of speoi
ineus dnring transit, perhaps for huu-
ilreils of unlet, is ruiuuttou to the
whole pnekagc. Another thing to be
observed is lo pack and ship ut one
or as soon ns they nre tuken from the
biislie?.
Tho writer's own quinces, while no
better than niiiny others, have fur
many years sold fur from lifty cents tu
it dollar per barrel more than avei n .'e
ipiinees on ucfouut of the earn m i,-!v-iiig
and packing which n::i!o them
tho well lu luuiket. '1 ho proverbial
"JiBuJJy like la'a'"!" applies very uiucu
to the marketing of quinces. Ameri
can Agriculturist.
CATTLE RAISING.
In cattle raising much of the profit
depends upon the skill of the feeder
and tho maturity of the breed, two
points thnt were formerly never con
sidered. Feoding then consisted in
supplying the animal with sufficient
food to keep him Alive and to fatten
him if necessary. The quality of the
food was not generally considered,
nor was there much trouble taken to
find out whether it was a suitable,
ration. The question of early ma
turity was never raised, boeause un
known, tho common stock of tho coun
try nlways maturing late.
All this is now altered. The various
kinds of feed and the best methods of
using them have become favorite sub
jects for discussion and disagreement,
while the experiment stations, with
their innumerable tables and formulas
by which to construct a "well-balanced
ration" add greatly to the general en
lightenment and sometimes to the
general bewilderment, for feoding is
not and cannot be an exact acienoo,
because the matter of price is one of
the prime factors in the calculation
how to produce tho greatest amount
at tho least possible cost. This is just
where the skill of the feeder comes in,
and this is where experience counts,
lie has learned tho cheapest kinds of
feed in his locality and tho propor
tions in which to mix tl.em, and he
knows whether it is best to produce or
purchase them. He has also realized
the value of variety in the feed.
The introduction of the improved
breeds has brought up the question of
early maturity, with which we are all
now familiar. The quicker the stock
can be fitted for market the greater
the profit. Early maturity means the
largest proportion of muscle or lean
meat for the least food eaten, as well
aa the attainment of this condition at
the earliest possible age. All growth
is made from what is eaten in excest
of the amount necessary to support
life, nnd the quicker it Tenches the
stage best fittod for food not only will
it have cost less per pound, but it will
have developed the tenderest and the
largest amount of lean meat. These
two factors are the prime considera
tions of the consumer, nnd the feeder
who caters to them receives the larg
est returns for his work. This is so
well recognized that all progressive
cattlemen now feed off as early as pos
sible. Xew York World.
GOOD BOOS VALUABLE.
It is difficult for some farmers tc
appreciate the true value of good hogi
for breeding purposes. This is trua
as much in the ranks of the well-to-do
stock feeders as it is among the poorer
grain growers, who tremble to think
of investing a cent beyond the intrin
sic pork Talue of breeding swine.
In the case of a brood sow, that has
the fattening quality, which all im
proved hogs shonld have, that trans
mitted to the offspring furnishes a lit
ter of half a dozen with the capacity
of early maturity, the superiority
should be easily noted. The pig that
grows nnd fattens at 250 days of age
into 250 ponnds weight at a total ol
food equivalent to but four-fifths ol
the amount fed to an ordinary "good
pig," is snrely worth searching for.
The improved swine of the country
comprise a good proportion of vigor
ous feeder and with disposition to ap
propriate their food to their growth
and the storing away of fat as well ai
flesn.
With right selection, by the exer
cise of proper judgment, the hog
nreo.lers may produce from a single
litter of thoroughbred pigs one-fourth
more pork, to say the least, than
from tho same number of the com
mon sort. Tho pork, too, sells under
all conditions for fully one-tenth
more per pound. These results follow,
as a rule, tbo use of a good sire, and
with due diligence in procuring the
best high grade or pure bred dams, a
better showing can be made.
Six litters ordinarily furnish thirty
substantial pigs. - On the basis of 250
pounds weight at eight mouths, and
one-fifth of this as the result of using
a pure bred sire, we should have to
his credit fifty pounds per head, or
for thirty pigs in growth into ma
turity 1500 pounds additional of pork,
worth ordiuarily $1 p2r hundred iu
tho farmer's yard, thus placing to the
credit of the improved sire alone 800.
Added to this conservative estimate
the gaiu which would accrue were
both sire and dams of tho highost or
der, aud 3100 would be a moderate
limit to piuoo on the increased value
of tho exercise of brains, and diligent
care to get the best, and to do the
best iu every way on each lot of a
half dozen sows, bred in the modern
methods of wide-awake, thinking
furmers.
Of course, the average farmer will
attain the above results on twice the
number of litters, if he exercises or
uary cure. The ordinary increased
value of a boar for such results is but
Where sixty mature hogs are
grown from the use of a good sire, the
profit on this $25 sire (ullowing $10
lor commercial value) where but a
speculation of 315 is made amounts to
eiht times, or on but thirty pigs four
times the sum ventured. The profit
net on the thirty pigs, 315, will ordi
narily pay all the taxes aud more on
the average farm. It will also pay for
inure thuu ouo acre of the average
farm. It thus follows that it pays tc
think about the hogs. It is more im

A NEW OANNINC1 AITARATt'S.
A new canning apparatus that iu

has n tint vessel somewhat liko a low
tin box, into which aro fitted one, two,
three, or four cylinder, according to
tho sizo of tho apparatus bought.
Theso cylinders nro each provided
with a patent cover, with a handle.
Tho fruit is placed nt onoo in the gloss
jar, and set inside the cylinder, where
it is cooked by steam. Tho box iu
which the cylinders are placed is filled
with water, nnd hnaattho aido a steam
whistle aud combinod filter. It is
claimod for the fruit preserved in this
way that tho forcing of tho steam into
the contents of tho jar, thus driviug
out tho air, kills all bacteria, and
gives tho fruit a mnch more natural
flavor than thnt cooked from tho bot

The most absurd project that ever
emanated from a madman's brain
would, during this memorable year
(18nCi), Lave found orednlons English
investors. It ia difficult. In faot; to
believe thnt some of tha promoters
were not insane. In Durham, for in
stance, three railways, all running iu
pnrallol linos, not far apart, were pro
jected. At Oroonwich speculators
wore eager to tnnnol the park, and,
lost the vandalism should arouso in
dignation, proposed to orcot marble
arches adorned with marble busts.
One invontor, confident that wind
was a better motive power than atonm,
endeavored to propel his engine by
means of sails; another was certain
that by tho aid of rockets he could
drive a locomotive at the rate of one
hundred miles an hour. E en more
delirious was the rush for fortune in
1815-40. Tho number of projocts was
enormous. Linos were, on paper, du
plicated everywhere, or carried into
tho romotost localities. Ono waa ad
vocated because it passod through a
country "celebrated for its gonial
climate ;" another, beoanso it ran
across ground that had boon invadod
by tho Danes, nnd the London and
Exeter waa actually thrust upon tho
market on the plea that it rau along

estimated that 9500,000 per week was

"No ono to look nt mo now," said Mrs.

and altogether I was in n very sad condition.
Of eourso I wanted to be well again, and liko
most people lu such cases, t oonsnltod a doc

faithfully. To my Inflnlto regrnt I got no

More medicine was prescribed and this I

without somo misgivings I bought a box of

"Almost as soon as 1 began to take thorn t

of Improvement was when that tired, weary,

Itself something to ho grateful for, but other

bad taken more of tlm pills. My hen laches
ceased entirely nnd the pain In my stomach
troubled nio no more. Now onco in a great

Put I know the cure. Out comes tho pink

away the pain goes. It all soems so good to
