FOB 1's}: FABltlER. Smut or Bunt. According to Prof. Beascy, the term smut is applied to different forms of nit ease. 'lhst of the books and English far- mers is that which turns the whole head into a black, dust powder, and is known in some pieces as lack blast, black blight, etc; in England it is called “bunt,' or ctinkirig smut. The disease generally meant by smut is one which leaves the grain at nearly its normal size and shape, but filled with black and stinking dust. The wheat parasite, which is the cause, Tillefia atria, consists of sl-nder threads of microscopic size, that insinuate them- selves between the cellsand tissues of the young when: plant, taking its nourish- ment and thus redueing its vitality. ’ The young wheat plant is a mass of minute cells, tilled with water and protoplssm. T fiese psrasites not only penetrate among them,bot invade the cell structure,thrust- ing suckers in every direction. When the wheat heads, the kernel is invaded and its nutriir.eut appropriated by the parasite, which here reaches its highest development, and produces a large amount of its black spores for seed for an- other season. The kernel thus invaded is shorter and thicker than the healthy berry, and of a dark, greenish color, and; the odor, on crushing, is most offenrlve. Under the glass, this black dust is Scull made up of round bodies, and when the grain is bro- ken in threshing, these seed spores ad- here to the hairs on the normal grain,und are planted with it; they hang on persist- ontly, and are very hard to separate. That the spores are sown with the wheat is evident, and are followed by a new croppfeinui. Still all attempts to dis- cover the mode of entrance into the young wheat plant have failed, but it takes place in the early growth of the wheat, and ob- servation has shown that thedisesse (Junk inenced before the plant began an» ling. l‘o eradicate the disease the spores most be destroyed.

But the important matter is to free the norrnai grains from the adher- cut spores, This may be done by the ap- plication of caustic lime, after the above washing of the seed; a solution of sulo photo of copper, bluestone, has also been successfully used. No applications to growing wheat are of any use. There is no variety of wheat, says the Professor, that is smut proof. The above care with seeds and a rotation of crops, are the only remodies.â€"â€"[Amcrican Miller. Farmers and Traders. Agriculture is important enough to re- quire all the talent and ability of any in- oividusl, no matter how gifted, and just so far or so much as the individual on- gages in side issues, just so much will his success in agriculture be lessened. And at no time is tho temptation to engage in other pursuits more strong than during the winter months, which are supposed to demand much less of the farmer's time. And if the farmer allows himself to be swayed by this temptation, he is almost absolutely sure to meet with loss. He enters into some mercantile pursuit, as a rulu, for which he has no special training, and for which he is noi fitted in any way. Locking as he does, experience of mer- utilillu moihods, and giving credit as he has but!“ accustomed to do in hisagricul- tuitil operations. he soon finds his capital gone. it only one in ii hundred that real" ly makes a success in mercantile life,and he only after many and grievous losses and wearing trials, and the farmer who Would devote the same energy and appli- cation to his farming methods would most assuredly be three times as successful as if he had changed. Every business or pursuit in life requires ii special training, knowledge and aptitude; these, except the latter in a degree, come from experâ€" ience, and farming most assuredly forms no exception. Country life is fully as honorable and manly, as it is more on- noliling and simple than city life, and there is no sense or reason in the gibe and snecrs so often cast upon life on the farm. No sensible person is affected by this, and those who love the farm the most are those who have been farmers, have had ti taste of city business and life and returned to it. Dt-cp I’loughing mid Moisture. The question is often asked: “How does deep ploughing make the soil moist. or i” I believe it is an accepted fact that wherever warm air comes in contact wi h a body cooler than itself the water in it condenses into drops. On a warm day we sou it often on the outside of a pitcher of cold water. Fags and dews are made in that way; and our rain, most of it, coming up from the gulf in those heavy currents of warm air that we frequently have. When we pulverizc the soil deep- ly the warm air, which is fullof moisture, penetrates down and all through it, and the ground being cooler than the alr,con- deuscs the water into drops, which an- sworn in place of rain, so the deeper and the more we ulvarizo it the more moisi'r on) it will col cct from the air. Not only that, but as warm air is rich in food for plants, it serves in the place of manure. too. Thirty years ago ihere was a terri- blo drought in the East. Professor Mapes, a large nisrketvuardenor, had had his ground uiiderdraincd and sub‘soiled, and his crops, when) he could, were cultivat‘ ed with a sub-soil plough. A committee went to see his place after nine weeks of drought, and it found everythingu flour- ishing as if there had been plenty of rain. llis corn (it was the 3rd of September) was estimated at ninety bushels to the acre, while on land cultivated in the usual way near by it was all burnt up. While 1 do not think deep plou hing is every- ihing,siill i think it will essen thoefibcta of s droughtâ€"[Kansas Farmer. Economical Ration for u Cow.

To run buffaloes. a horse trained as s buffalo runner is absolutely necessary. A good bufi'slo runner will be fleet of foot. us, long winded, and trained to carry rider within a yard of theherd hunted, and then to rage alongside 9f any animals selected. My mustang did this toperfection until brought to grief by s prairie dog. This worthleu creature is the bun-10's best friend, because of his villainous habit of bumwingin the plains over which the share is apt to range, and thence making a thousand pitfal s for un- wary horses. The buffaloes themselves ocasionally break a leg in a marmot's hole; but the fact remains that the little animal has saved more specimens of the boa Americauus from sportsmen's bul eta, killed more horses, maimed more riders, and been cursed more lust‘ ily than any other denizen of the plains, from the redskin down to the coyote. At the time of my mustangs fall I had I. couple of narrow escapes from death. I had singled out as my meal; an old bull with long, highly polished horns and the most magnificent mane thathas ever come under my notice. 1 determined to have that head, and to carry it east with me as a trophy. To single the brute from the herd and toplant a bullet from my revol- ver in his shoulder was an easy task, when aided by such a horse as mine. The remainder of the herd thundered off to the west with com panions in full chase, and away toward the east went my wounded bufi'slo, with me a good second, sending it pill into his side whenever he swerved enough to give mea chance at his heart. Suddenly the idea. seemed to enter his cranium that he was flying in a direct line from his friends, and he wheeled about and charged me, his magnificent head cocked sidewise ready to tossmymustang, his nostril) and eyes blood red, and the foam flying from his month. When the buffalo swerved my nag made a. noble lesp out of his course and landed with his off foreleg insnmrmot’s bole,bringinghim to his knees, snapping the bone of his log off like a stalk of straw and sending me headlong to the ground right in the path of the wounded bull. 1 was some- what shaken up and could not think clear- ly, but my eyes were wide open and the approaching danger seemed like a weight on all my faculties, benumbing me so that I could not move as much as an eyelid, and thus increasing the horror of the alt- uation. ’ 'l he bull came on, his hoofs rattling over thehard prairie like the bones of the end man in a minstrel show. His hot breath came full in my mouth and nos- trils, leaving a bad taste on my tongue for the remainder cf the day. One of his horns caught in the collar of my hunting shirt, tearing it away, and then his hind hoof grazed my temple. He was as glad to escape as l was myself, and careered over the prairie after the hard at a three- rninlite gait, while I rose and planted a merciful bullet from my revolver in the ‘orain of my doomed mustang. One day of this sort of thing is wortha year's dawdling about at the sea shore in a seersucker coat. SHOT DOWN INATIIE STREET A ’llllef Killed by? u _Pool-Bcllsr. James W. McVicar, a pool seller, of 44 Great Jones street, shot and killed Frank Gordon, a thief, at Bleeker and Elisabeth streets, N. Y., recently. Policemen Kiernau and Neil Conners of the Mul- berry street police were st the Bowery and Bieecker street, and heard the shot. They started towards the sound, and met a pale-frced man running towards the Bowery, a smoking pistol in his right hand. The fugitive dodged Conners and some one tripped up Kiernan, who fell headlong into the gutter, while; the man with the pistol outstripped the crowd and reached the Bowery. He turned up town, and Policeman William Kennedy of the Mercer street police caught him. returned to the corner of ,Elizabethfistreet and Bleecker, wheres man was lying on the sidewalk witha bullet, hole in his breast. He was surrounded by a crowd of men and women. A passing vendor’s waggon wssrpressed into ambulance ser4 vice and the wounded man was taken to the Mulberry street station house, where he died almost as soon as he was stretched out upon the floor. , , He was identified as Frank Gordon, a thief and burglar, who has served one term in prison. He is an associate of a number of hard characters, men and wo~ men, who frequent the neighborhood of the tragedy. The prisoner, who reached the station house soon after the waggou containing the wounded man, was yet pale and breathless, and his appearance bore out his assertion that he was consumptive. He said that he acted in self-defence, and had been drawn into sdiflicuity with Gor- don and a companion named Johnny Davis through no fault of his own. He met a woman whom he knew in Bleacher street and asked her into Condinn‘s sa~ loon to have a drink. She introduced him jokingly to some other women and the two men named as her husband. McVicar brought drinks for the whole party, and soon the men tried to ring in some more men and women to drink at his expense. He protested, and the men named, who had been drinking a good deal and were ugly, began to talk about fightin . McVicar disclaimed being a fighter, an finally left the saloon, as he says, to avoid trouble. Gordon and Davis fullowed him out, and the women went along and tried to prevent trouble. But on the sidewalk. after more threats and growling, McVicar says Goidns drew s knife and attempted to stab hum. Then he shot.
