I'revent Kunit In Corn.
Murh has been mild of late of cattle
and horsi. and other stock mysterious
ly dying, and the cause has booh traced
to the smut on corn or a tduillur fungus
m other grains or grass fed to them,
says Colinaii'H KurnI World. The com
mon smut of grain crops Is a minute
plant, consisting of white threads, like
those of mildew, which grow in plants,
and generally coiicentntte In the seed
heads. Tha corn appears In every part
of the plant, even 111 the root, but
mostly In the seed bends. The seed of
the smut fungus eonHlnln of extremely
minute black or brown balls, called
spores, when this smut dries It Is car
ried olT by the wind mid spread far mid
wide. lint some of It lodges 111 u tuft
of minute hairs at the end of the seeds
of the grain, anil thus, when the grain
Is sown, the smut is sown with It, tind
in this way Is newt effectively spread
among the new crop. To prevent this,
the seed, whether wheat, inilw or corn,
Is steeped in a solution of four ounces
or bluestoiie (sulphate of (tipper) In live
gallons of hot water, and this, when
cold. Is used to Hteep the sittl III. The
smut spori's are thus killed, iiml. of
(tiufse, the danger of new smut Is
gnii tly reduced, as only that floating
In the air will Infis-t the crops. The
seed Is kept In the solution for 11 few
minutes, then taken out mid drained
mid spread out t dry; It Is then sown
Immediately. Or Uie wet seed tnav be
nilx.tl with some dry, air-slacked lime,
which Is a great help, and thus dried,
may be sown 11 1 once, either by hand
or by drill.
Moral Character of Hired Help.
There Is titt-essarily a ' lose associa
tion Ix-Hveeu the hired help on farm
mid the members of the farmer's fam
ily. This iu itself is not to lie regretted;
but it makes more necessary a great
caution as to the character of the as
sistants hired. It Is tint enough that
they are able to work and skillful.
There should le In tlieui enough moral
Htamiiui not to make them Injurious
companions for the young. There is
tint little cure by farmers In this re
spect. It ought to lie the business of
the employer to know that those who
are working for him are not demoral
izing themselves or others when out
of work hours. The really good effec
tive workers are usually the best mor
ally. It is for the Idle bauds that Satan
Is always finding mischief and wrong
doing to be done.
Hay Carrier Attachment.
A home-made hay carrier is shown
by the illustration. There Is scarcely
any description tieedod.
The drawing shows a portion of hay
barn. The home-made attachment is
shown at A, which consists of n piece
of wood 2x2 Inches of good oak. Ai
either end Is securely bolted a clevis,
one to be attached to Uie hay carrier
pulley above and the other to harpoon.
The length of the wtsxl piece Is siifh
as to just allow of the hay to clear the
tie V. To each purllne, I! and C In cut,
Is attached a pulley near middle of hay.
Over each of these pulleys passes a
rope; one end Is fastened to Uie attach
ment at K, and the other end hangs
loosely In the bay. He sure the ropes
are lung enough to reach to bottom of
hay when the harpoon Is on the wagon.
The operation is. as follows: After
the harpoon Is loaded and it is desired

shown that the remedy for the fanner
Is to make an artificial cloud over his
crops 011 the calm, clear nights when
frost Is to he expected. This Is best
done by burning small heaps of wet
hay, straw or gnt-u wit-ds, tar, or
crude petroleum, ,to ilinke n dense
smudge of heavy smoke which settles
down on the crop, effectually blanket
lug the plains. The air will be the

Company, from M. V. Grace & Com
pany, of London. The find consists of
1 package of inventories, invoices and
jther documents placed in the hands
jriginally of the purser of the steam
ship Capac, of the New York and Pa
cific Line, when she sailed 011 Nov.' 10,

lulu:
'As yet we do not know in what
manner, or at what point In the ocean
whether in the Pacilic or the South
ern Atlantic the bundle of 'papers
were lost overboard. We will have to
wait until the Capac ges back 10 this
port. When last heard from, she hau
arrived out at V-ilparaiso, on her sec
ond trip to the Pacific, and is now on
her way here. She will not, however,
anive until some time in March. The
papers which were lost overooard were
duphcatts, and of 110 particular value,
I believe they were old outward cargo
hps, a:;d the cargo they represented
had been delivered long before they
were lost. The distance from Rio de
Janeiro to Guadaloupe, is, in round
figures, about 3,000 miles."
One of the most remarkable circum
'ances connected with the matter is
Hie wonderful state of preservation of
the papers. If necessity required it,
hey could be used again. When tak-
tn from the shark the authorities of
the French government took charge of
them and subsequently transmitted
them to Mr. Cecil Trevor, of the harbor
