The system helps to avoid destruction by fires even in eases where a flash cannot be pre- vented, but these flashes are almost unheard of to-day with the efficient yodding systems being installed by lightning rod dealers.

"In the Pacific Northwest, wheat. smut spores live over winter in the soil and the ordinary treatment with formaldehyde is not effective unless there has been a rotation of crops which causes the smut spores to die. "As a consequence, denseiclonds of smut spores, which may be seen for miles, arise from the threghers and spr2ad wheat contagion over the en- tire country," says Mr. P. Schleuss- ner, Perth Amboy Chemical Com- panry.- "Sometimes when this smut cloud is properly mixed with air, a piece of wire or nail will strike a spark in the separator and the result is an explosion worse than a thirteen-ineh gun, blowing machimes to pieces and oft n killing and injuring the crew. "The wheat smut tax amounts to millions of dollars. It is in most in- stasices entirely preventable by treat- ment of the seed, but so serious has it become that the American Depart~ ment of Agriculture has a separate grade for smutted wheat.

"Grain inspection has been reduced to a fine art.

Be Your Own Developer of Geran- tuims--Light Fall Pruning of Orchards Is Safe--The Barberry Hedge a Spreader of Rust In Grains, q - (Gentributed by Ontario Department of Agriculture, Toronto.) Toward the end of the summer, the amateur flower grower often wonders how the stock of geraniums 'in the flower border can be ineveased and preserved by some other means than by taking up the old plants in tle autumn; the last named method not having, perhaps, proved success- ful in past seasons. By starting fair- ly early, toward the end of August, before cold chilly nights appear, a nice supply of young plants, more especially of all kinds of geraniums of the flowering kind, or those hav- ing fragrant leaves, or even the bronze or silver leaved kinds, can be had by starting cuttings or slips of these plants. First of all obtain a shallow box about three inches deep, ten or twelve inches wide, and from twelve to twenty-four inches in length; an empty haddie (fish) box will do very well. It should have some small holes bored through the bottom for drainage. Pack this box firmly with moist, clean, gritty sand; sand that will make good stone mor- tar will do. Then take the terminal or top part of the young growth of plants about four or five inches in length, each shoot or cutting having from four to six joints where leaves are produced. Make the base of the cutting just below one 6f these nodes or leaf joints, making a clean cut with a sharp knife flat across. Cut off some of the lower leaves, leaving two or three leaves at the top. Cut off all bloom buds and blessoms where possible. Make a hole or drill in the wet sand deep enough to set fully the length of stem of cuttings in the sand. Water them well once, and keep the sand moist until cut- tings are rooted, whichisheuld he in five or six weeks' time. The box can be set out of doors in partial shade until the first week in September wien they can be tap into the window. When cuttings have roots about an inch in fentih dig them carefully from the sand without In- Juring the roots and pot them singly into small 21 inch pots or set them about two inches apart in well drained shallow boxes in a soll made up of one part sand, one part len "mould, and about six parts of light loamy soil enriched with one part of dry pulverized cow ure from the pagture field. This is ene of the best possible fertilizers for wall for pot plants. Set the youns plants in the window in a temgparature of 60 to 70. degrees Fahy. an crdinary houge temperature.

Light pruning in fall is permis- gible, but heavy pruning is dangerous and likely to result in 'serious dam- age from winter killing, especially if the gueceeding winter i8 severe. The injury is caused by drying out of the cut area and may be prevented by covering all wounds of any size with a good covering of pain{ made from pure lead and cil. Do not use pre- pared paints, as these contain injur- fous benzine or turpentine dryers. To make an effective covering it will be necessary to givs not less than two eoats, beeause one eoat will not pra- vent eh and drying of green wood.

Hundreds and hundreds of in- stances can be cited to show that tha gommaon barberry is the mest im- portant faetor in the spread of rust {fn northwest states. In a Govern- ment bulletin on rust and barberry, Dr. C. BE. Stakman of Minnesota Uni- versity Farm relates the experience of a farmer at Crystal Bay, Lake Minnetonka, Minn., whe had a bar- berry hedge of 635 bushes. He hag tried to grow oats on his farm for ten years, but each year the black stem rugt destroyed almost all the grain, Then one spring he destroyed the hedge before the bushes had he- gome rusted. Ten days before the harvest the field was examined thoroughly and no stem rust could be found. The yield and quality proved to be exesllent. 'It was the the wet geason first time in ten years that a crop had been grown successfully on that farm. Every land owner should he- gin early in the spring to destroy the barberry for the Toth of grain eropa. : The dead bark comes away Tr Qats ad {Stick a £2 . SRR (National Crop Improvement Service.) "It is difficult to understand why grain is not more frequently cleaned in the country, the dockage ground' and fed at home. In gome years there is scarcely a car of No. 1 er No. 2 grain received while car after car of No. 4 and No. 5 and ne grade grain is sent into market. This always low- ers the price," says HB. A. Foss, weighmaster, Chicage Board Trade. , "Besides freight must be paid upen the refuse contalned in these cars and moreover the dockage must he charged back against the shippers. "It would seem. that farmers' or- ganizations should undertake to ship nothing but the very finest gralm available and insist upon a high price for it, feeding the poorer rn : at home. "Millers will always pay a pre- minum for clean grain, and it may readily be seen that'the lower grades cannot fail to cheapen the whole crop if sent to the market. If nothing but clean grain were shipped, thousands of cars could be released for other duty. The attention of co-operative societies" is urgently called to this phase of marketing."
