HE Ohio Experiment Station liat uaed several nieth-od- a ot treatment and two of these were uni fornily urrrasful. A third method reduces the to amut s. The successful methods are immersing the seed for 10 to 15 minutes In scal'llng water temperature of water 132 to 133 degrees F., and soaking the seed from 13 to 20 hours In a solution of potassium sulfld (liver ot sulfur) made by dislf solving one and pounds of the suilld In twenty-liv- e gallons of water. This solution should he kept in a wooden vessel. In the hot water treatment the seed Is placed In a wire mesh vessel or In an open gunny bug and then immersed. Ten minutes treatment gave the same results as fifteen minutes, while the longer did no injury. With the potassium suilld method the grain 1b covered directly by the liquid and allowed to remain for the time stated. In both cases the seed will need to be dried to sow In the drill, but may he sown broadcast while still wet. Details of these methods will be found in Bulletin G4 of the Ohio Experiment Station. Another method was tried in 189tL It consists lu Irealing the seed oats In piles by sprinkling with a solution of potassium sullid from a watering can with rose. The grain must be repeatedly stirred during treatment and the sprinkling is done also at intervals of an hour, By this sprinkling method the smut was reduced from 12 per cent to 1 per cent In one case; from 28 per cent to 10 per cent In another. Hot water and sullid soaking treatments of tho same seed reduced the smut to of one per cent and of one per cent of smut respectively. It will be seen that the sprinkling method la not so complete a prevention us the hut water and soaking methods. The details of the sprinkling method are as follows: Dlssolvo one pound of fresh potassium sullid In fifteen and gallons of wuter in a wooden vessel. This solution will be enough to treat 500 pounds or fifteen and lf bushels of seed or.ts. In other words, every gallon of the mixture, made as directed, will treat one bushel of oata Place the oats In plies of five .to eight bushels upon a tight floor and sprinkle with the sprinkler every hour until the liquid- la uaed. Just enough should be applied so that uoue goes to waste. The seed should be well stirred between sprlnkings. After all the solution has been applied, the oata should lie not more than six Inches deep and should lie thoroughly stirred twice a day. It la beat sown about two to three days after treatment Manifestly the seed will be swollen and must be applied in a larger quantity per acre. The attention to the condition of the seed after treatment and before sowing is evidently as exacting as for the hot water or soaking methods The preference of the Experiment Station Is for the hot water method as most effective and at the same time most practicable. This sprinkling reatment Is stated for the benefit of any who desire to use 1L There Is no method of seed treatment that does not involve labor. one-ha- lf three-fourth- one-ha- 6-- 10 1-- 10 one-ha- lf one-ha- Mai-- UdiIi Mad ed throe-year-o- ld WAS A LEARNED MAN A iwvnnr M Yaw.

By the kid of rams water is elevated from a valley brook to a reservoir at the top of the hill. From here It is distributed to leading points on the farm lf In two and Inch pipes, and from these old discarded fire hose is used to distribute the water over the fields. Wooden troughs In twelve-fosections feed Into each other, and are easily moved about the fields. These are set at proper grades wherever wanted, and the water turned Into them through the hose. By a series of little gates along the trough water is allowed Vo run down to rows of melons, strawberries or asparagus, the flow being regulated so as to run freely, but without washing. This year, wishing to carry over some old strawberry beds for fruiting another season, Mr. Eddy cleared the rowe, narrowed them to eight or ten Inches, and turned on the water. The bede took on a new, trong growth, and are as nearly perfect as can be. Then, to extend the plantations, runners from new beds, as new plants developed, were taken up with little or no root and thickly lined out In rowe a foot apart, the water put trickling down the rows so as to keep them moist all the time, and the little runners went at once to work making strong, new plants with abundance of fibrous roots. Celery, cabbage and other crops are treated In like manner. THE LATE PROFESSOR HENRY DRUMMOND. Ova of Ilia Great!

Y., has a method of hie own for aprlng treatment of strawberry plants The plants are taken up very early and trenched closely In sloping trenches, about seven Inches deep, twelve to fifteen plants to the linear foot, and crowns even with the surface. The roots are cllppeij before trenching. The whole surface Is mulched, the beds (each consisting of three trenches eight inches apart) thoroughly soaked, and a week after sprayed with Bordeaux mixture. The plants are kept In the beds where they can be frequently sprayed for mildew (which In Oswego county is worse than rust) about six weeks Ten thousand can thus be treated on a square rod of land. About May 20 the plants are set in the fields, and will ordinarily need no more spraying until after they have made a crop. Mr. Farmer put the win. soon as ter mulch on early, about the ground will bear a wagon. Horae manure le the preferred mulch.

A portion of It la covered with black ash and birch and. other large portions have In ages past been burled under water so long that Its growth of trees has been smothered. Roots and trunks alone remain to tell the story. Denuded of Its trees, the swamp presents the appearance of a plain. Centurlee of decay of vegetation produce rich plant food. No part of this swamp produces better returns for its tillage than that near Decatur. Ten years ago the state made a ditch five miles long in this swamp, which drains into Dowaglac creek, and from thence into the SL Joseph river. Owners of swamp land constructed laterals, and a large body of the land wae brought Into condition for cultivation. Shrewd residents of Lawton. Kalamazoo and other points Invested In the swamp. They grew mint, celery and onions The ground produces fine celery, and an effort haa been made to colonize Hollanders from Kalamaxoo to work it, but so far without marked success Before being drained these muck lands had only a nominal value. Now they sell at prices ranging from $40 to $100 per acre, depending very much upon the market facilities The growing o mint on the muck laud has been and Is yet remunerative. The mint produces a valuable oil when distilled. Each mint grower has a small still, and the distillation Is said to be a very elmple process It Is claimed that mint growers realise a profit of $40 or more per aero earth-imbedd- ObiS Rasta la 1 raueplaatlag Tre Mr. II. M. Strlngfellow, a fruit grower of Texas sod who la regarded in that section as a good authority on practical fruit culture, has lately startled planters by contending that young trees planted for orchards, or, one may any, for anything else, are better without roots than with them. He cuts in all the roots to a mere stump, making the tree Utile more than a mere cutting, says Mehan'a Monthly. The top is of course at the same time cut In severely. It Is argued that there is a great point gained, provided such trees re equally successful with trees transplanted under the ordinary method with ua Many more can be packed In a case for shipping in this way, and heavy transportation charges thus avoided. It has been long the thought of the writer that by far too much value la placed on the root fibers; and distinction should be made between tbe true roots and root fibers The fiber is practically only a thread-lik- e production which pushes out of the main roots In large quantities. They live only for one yeur. Just as the leaf dots, and they can be of very little practical use to a tree In transplanting. The success of a transplanted tree comes from the new production of these libers. The food of a tree is taken in by the root hairs, which are produced at the end of these little threads, and, unless there is a new production of these fibers, the tree will not grow. What Is needed in a successful transplanting is an abundance of two or roots, and not annual fibers. It is this which makes a transplanted tree much more of a success (ban one not transplanted. When the large old roots are shortened, and a number of new, true roots proceed, this Is the class of roots desirable. If there are a number of this class to the main stem of tbe plant, we should be apt to regurd all the other mass of very old d routs and libers as being in the way of bum-srather than to aid it. For trees generally. Mr. Sir! ngfoi low's method will not Le adopted, but the thought is useful in showing us the absurdity of many of our old iuus. MUNN & CO., 3(1 Ilruudwnv.
