' Press bulletia S4 of the Kansas Sx- perimeat sUtioa has the f oUowing to my oa the smut of oats and wheat: Srsut of Oats. The spores gain an 1 entrance during the germination of thosoed. If the spores sticking to the surface of the grain cam be killed the disease cam be almost wholly prevent ed. To kill the spores the seed is soaked in hot water or ia .certain chemicals. The hot-water treatment ts the cheapest, but on small quantl-. ties it is aot so convenient of applica tion as the other method. To apply the hot-water treatment, soak the seed oats ia water heated to a temperature of 133 degrees Fahrenheit The grain, ia about half-bushel, emantitlee, is placed ia a sack, wire netting cage, or other closed receptacle allowing free access of water, and plunged in the water, which should be ia a large tub, kettle or vat It should be kept In the water, being meantime rotated and plunged, about tea minutes. A ther mometer should be at hand constantly, for if the temperature is too high the seed will be iajured, aad It too low the smut will aot be killed, 'it is a good plan to dip the seed first into water about 119 degrees to120 degrees Fahrenheit, so that the hotter water will not be so much cooled by the process. After treating the seed is spread out oa a floor to dry. The sec ond method for treating oat smut is to soak the seed for twenty-four hours in a solution of flower of sulphur, one and one-half pounds In twenty-flve gallons of water. Care should be taken to completely wet all the grains. The solution should be kept in a wooden vessel. Stinking Smut of Wheat Wheat is elected by two smuts. Oae the stink ing smut or bunt remains within the grata aad is observed only when the covering to the grain is broken, when the interior is found to be a maw of black dust or spores. This can be'pre veated by the hot-water treatment as described for oat smut or it can be treated as follows: Soak the seed in a solutioa of copper sulphate (blue-stone or blue vitriol) for twelve hours and then for five or ten minutes in a solu tion of lime. The solution of copper sulphate is made by dissolving one pound of copper sulphate in twenty four gallons of water. The lime solu tion Is made by slaking one pound of fresh quick lime in ten gallons of water. .The copner solution must be kept in a wooden vessel. Loose Smut of Wheat The second kind of smut on wheat is the common, conspicuous sort which makes the whole head a black mass. To prevent this kind of smut soak seed four hours ia cold water, set away in the wet sacks for four hours more and then treat with hot water as described for oat smut hut soak at 132 degrees for only five minutes. The seed Is likely to be injured some, so one-half more seed should be used than would other wise be required. Hortteattaral Ohsarvatl The defenders of the Ben Davis apple are finding much comfort in a little lacldeat that occurred at Paris at the close of the fruit exhibit The American apples were sold at auction, and the man who purchased them re sold them st a profit For one barrel he received 10. and on inquiry It is learned that this barrel of apples con sisted of Ben Davis only. They sim ply out-sold all of their competitors, the said competitors being fruits that at home bring a much higher price than the Ben Davis apple. This is en couraging news to the men who are putting out great orchards of this va riety. The well-developed Ben Davis apple, grown in the southern parts of Illinois, Indiana and Missouri, has a beautiful color and good flavor, and is bound to make a place for itself on the French market a France, and, In fact all of the coun tries of western Europe, offer a great fleld for the sale of American apples at a high price. The people in those countries raise a great many apples, but they are all of the summer and fall sorts, aad are all gone by Christ mas. The Europeans seem to have failed to comprehend the possibility ia the raising of long-keeping varieties. As a consequence, the few apples that And their way to the French market in late wiater sell for an exorbitant price. Last March. Mr. Dunlap tells us, apples sold in Paris at 12.40 each. The French are unable to keep fruit for the reason that they have no cold storage facilities and know nothing about cold storage. We believe that the mczr future will see an immense trade ia long-keeping varieties of ap ples. The cost of shipping a barrel of apples f com Chicago to Paris is about 12, which includes tariff duties at the Frenca port of entry. a a H. M. Dunlap says that the fruit growers of Illinois should be highly elated, at securing premiums from tne French' Judges who awarded them. The French awarding committee is a remarkable institution. It consists of twenty men, with theleadiag nomolo gist of France at their head. These men never appear In the exhibition room except with tall hats, dress suits and their badges of omce. He thus describes the incident of the awarding to Illinois of "perfect" on one of the exhibits: "The French Judged every thing in the fruit line oa the scale of twenty points, and of course It was difficult to get more than eighteen points for the best displays, as- even they could aot be generally considered perfect One day. however, after a new exhibit had been installed, the twenty functionaries appeared. The head of the line reached the table of the Illi nois exhibit amd the stately procession topped. The head seemed to be im mensely pleased at the beautiful show made by the Illinois fruit and ex claimed. -Ah, messieurs, tres Jolie. tree Men. tres Wen. Ylmgt" And the nineteen other mem answered la chor- "Onl, out" Which, heinjr Inter preted, means, "Ah. gentlemen, very retty. very good, vary good. Twenty." And the others answered "Yes, yes.'

If the 'tree dies the rot is then supposed to be the cause of Its death. The rot may hasten the death of the tree, but a tree that is sound and free from blemishes is very sel dom if ever attacked by this rot'' The best thing to do Is to keep the tree free from borers and other inju ries., The land should be kept free from grass and weeds and well culti vated. Good, clean cultivation Is worth more than all the washes and dress ings that can be applied to prevent borers. lasBTevaaaaat of Aaaerlcaa Wtaaat. In 1894 the division of vegetable physiology and pathology of the United States department of agricul ture began experiments on an exten sive scale to test the comparative rust resistance of 'different varieties of cereals, especially wheat This work was carried on for three seasons, and during that time it became apparent that constant rust resistance is not to be obtained among the ordinary bread wheats known at present, though on an average a few such varieties are fairly resistant during a long period of years. By the results obtained it was rendered highly probable that this quality must be bred into a variety either by rigid selection of the most resistant Individuals of that variety or by crossing with resistant varieties of other wheat groups and selecting from the resultant progeny such types as combine in the highest degree the usual qualities of the bread-wheat group with that of rust resistance. It was also found that In regard to other qualities than rust resistance, it Is not possible to obtain varieties which even approximate perfection, and it is rare that many desirable qualities are found in the same va riety. It was, therefore, determined to study thoroughly wheat varieties themselves in all relations, and inves tigate all associated problems, such as drought resistance, early maturity, yielding power, and other matters of great economic interest Cast et Balslag Com aad Wheat. Repeated investigations into the cost of raising corn and wheat have shown that about S10 for wheat and $11 for corn per acre are about as low as they can be produced. Investiga tions by the Wisconsin commissioner of agriculture resulted in a report from wnich we make the following excerpt: "The returns from 410 of the most successful and prosperous farmers in the state showed that the annual in vestmentthat 43, the expense of la bor, seed, taxes, depreciation of land, machinery and horses used, feed and incidental outlays amounted to $6.12 per acre for one crop of wheat and ,$7.91 per acre for one crop of corn. To the" average yield the past six years this is equivalent to about 35 cents per bushel for wheat and 16 cents per bushel for corn. If to this is added in terest at 6 per cent on the value per acre of the machinery and horses used, the annual Investment and the value of the land as estimated or given by the fanners the expenses for wheat would be Increased from $6.12 to $9.45 per acre, or from 35 to 54 cents per bushel, and for corn from $7.91 to $11.36 per acre, or from 16 to 27 cents per bushel."

Imperial Pakio Daels" They are a great acquisition to our water fowls, being hardy, easily rear ed, excellent table fowls, good layers, while their yield of feathers is nearly as great as of any ordinary goose. They are creamy white in plumage, with a medium-sited deep yellow bill, and legs of a reddish orange color. They are large in size, and their ffaffy feathers make them look still larger. While swimming no other duck shows so much body above the water as the Pekin. The eggs hatch well, the duck lings are easily raised and mature rap idly. They are excellent foragers, and can be easily raised where there is -only sufficient water for them to drink. Irrljratlea af Taa. An investigation recently inaugu rated by the United States Department of Agriculture promises if successful to promotethe growing of tea. This is the irrigation of tea at Pinehurst the home of Dr. C. U. Shepard, near Summervllle, S. C. The labors of this gentleman have already produced in teresting results. He has about fifty acres planted to tea, which will when in full' bearing produce each year about 10.000 pounds. Last year it pro duced about one-third of this amount His investigations have bacn contin ued long enough to make it manifest that it any part of the South where the temperature does not usually fall below 25 F., and never falls below zero, tea can be successfully grown, but that in order to make it a complete success ia all cases irrigation is necessary. The great obstacle ia the way of making this industry atommerdal success is the coat of production, and the readiest means of reducing' this cost la to in crease the yield per acre. If more pounds per acre" can be grown, it means a leas cost per pound for fertilisers and for cultivation. Picking will also be made cheaper because leas ground will have to be traversed. The need of irrigation to stimulate the growth of foliage is shown by a comparison of the rainfall at Summer vUle with that of other tea-growing districts. This is given in Dr. Shep ard's report and shows that the precip- itatkm during the tea-growing at that point is only about one-melf to one-qaarter of that of the tea-growlag districts of ladla aad Hie m withim twenty miles of Charles torn, & C The rainfall at Chaxlestoa from mayto September ia oaly 1LJ inches.- whim the rainfall of the tea- districts of India amd China smTarrX uswasanwxa m ?'at m'tEm&E&!3BmmM Bal9aeBaBas5Sc usnnuur for the same period varies from HI laches. Through the eo-operatlam of Dr. Shepard aar Elwood Mead, the irrigation expert of the Oaten of Sn periment Stations, plans hmvi made for thVcoastractiom of a reservoir sumefeat to hold enough for a season's irrigatloa of oae of the tea gardens. TWs reservoir will ha filled from a well dug to a depth of twenty feet and supplied by the under flow of a neighboring stream. The tea garden to be Irrigated is punted in rowa five feet apart These rows have a fall of four inches in one hun dred feet which 'gives ample fall for distributing water and for underdrala age should this prove necessary. Im order to test the relative merits of surface and sub-irrigation, about one half of this plat will be watered by means of tile placed one foot beneath the surface and laid down between the rows. The distance between these tiles will therefore be five feet and the water will have to percolate laterally two aad one-half feet to moisten the ground around the plants. Another portion of the garden will be irrigated by surface furrows run on each aide and one foot from the plants. In order to test the difference between the growth and productiveness of the ir rigated and non-Irrigated portions a small part of this garden will be left unwatered. , An interesting feature connected with this extension of Irrigation is the fact that a part of the farm on which tea is being grown was formerly de voted to the production of indigo and was Irrigated. The production of this crop finally became unprofitable aad was abandoned, but the remains of the ditches can yet be. seen. It will probably require several years to fully determine the extent to which this form of agriculture can be ex tended in the south. Even without the aid of irrigation tea has been grown with profit hut if, as Is believed, a material increase can be made in the yield through the addition of this stimulus, and improvement in the quality of the product as well, there Is little reason to doubt that the time is neap at hand when this country will have made another significant addi tion to its capacity to be entirely self sustaining.

Of the remainder 2,237 are colts of one year and under two years. It is in credible that the supply of colts under one year is only 2,606, but it serves to emphasize the predictions of. the Farmers' Review relative to a horse famine one of these days. Indiana has a still smaller stock, according to this report, the number of horses over two years of age being 124,072, the number of colts one year and under two, 1,448, and of colts under one year, 1,737. The Missouri horse statistics are not much better, viz.: Horses two years old and over, 124,952; colts one and under two years, 1,064; colts under one year, 1, 247. Michigan's supply of two-year-old horses is given as 100,410; -of colts one and under two years, 823; of colts under one year. 872. Ohio has 185, 683 two-year-olds, 1,502 one year old and over, 1,811 under one year. Wis consin 83,446 two-year-olds, 879 colts one year and under two years, and 874 under one year. Iowa has 147,275 horses two years old and over, 2,667 one year and under two, and 3,362 colts under one year, a larger number of young colts than is credited to any other state. Kansas is reported as hav ing 81,687 horses two years old and over, 1,182 one year old and under two, and 1,778 under one year. Kentucky, so famed for its horses is allowed 43, 757 horses two years old and over, 585 colts one year and under two, and 550 colts under one year. Minnesota is said to possess almost twice as many horses as Kentucky, or 82,994 horses two years old and over, 976 colts one year and under two, and 1,093 colts un der one year.

The New Orleans purchasing office was reopened a few days ago and a contract let for the purchase of 1,500 mules, the order being apportioned among the stations at St Louis. Kan sas City and Bonham. It is supposed that the purchase of mules in the United States will continue indefin itely until the transportation depart-1 ment of the British army Is fully! equipped, not only in South Africa, but in all of the colonies. a a "Zebrolds" that is to say, a hybrid between the zebra and horse are the subject or a report by the United States minister to Brazil, says a press report These animals are already in use on a small scale in the Transvaal, and they are suitable for Africa, because the Tsetse fly does not injure them. They have been tried successfully In Brazil, and are found very strong, lively and docile. The hybrids take after the fe male horse, and are black, brown, grey; etc., in color. The best "horses for strong hybrids are the Clydesdale, Suf folks and 'Percherons" of France. Arab horses give excellent zebroids. very swift and active. . It was generally thought that Eng lish Jockeys could give pointers to all the world in the matter of horse rac ing. But Tod Sloan went over and showed them a new style, by means of which he beat the best jockeys in England. He sat much further for ward than the English riders, aad it has been found by actual test that a rider so perched..besides. being easier on the horse's wind, enables the horse' to make from four to seven inches longer stride than If he rode in the good old English style. The result of this is that Yankee Jockeys have had a great run of engagements and the English are training their younger Jockeys to ride American fashion.
