GRAIN SMUT TREATMENT. 
J. H. Wilkinson in the Dakota Farmer 
gives the following method of handling 
wheat when treated for a smut: 
“I have seen wheat treated for smut 
by sprinkling and shoveling on a barn 
floor; by dipping with a perforated scoop 
in a trough; by filling a barrel with wheat, 
then pouring on the mixture, and after 
soaking letting the water off through a 
vent, then emptying the wheat out and 
drying it; also by using the wagon tank 
method; but the quickest, safest and most 
successful method is as follows: Take 
two boards 16 feet long and one foot 
wide and make two troughs eight feet 
long. Cut a kerosene barrel in halves 
to make two tubs. Set these tubs on 
the granary floor nearly eight feet from 
a wall (see illustration) and nail one 
end of trough to wall about six inches 
above top of tub. Put a concave, six- 
inch board under each trough to strength¬ 
en it and carry off leak. Use gunny 
sacks and dip one bushel at a time, let¬ 
ting grain remain in mixture about two 
minutes. Six sacks can be set in each 
trough and will quickly drain so as to 
set on floor. In this manner I have 
dipped grain early in the morning and 
sowed in an ordinary seeder after din¬ 
ner without removing grain from sacks 
to dry. I have always made the solution 
stronger than recommended.” 
SMALL FRUITS FOR HOME USE. 
Give a list of small fruits for a family gar¬ 
den (10 to 15 persons) for this locality, con¬ 
sidering hardiness first and quality second ; 
also the number of each kind to plant to 
have plenty of fruit. J. R. 
Wisconsin. 
I object to the specifications. In the se¬ 
lection of varieties for the home garden qual¬ 
ity should be given first place. Varieties of 
high quality, even if not iron-clad, may be 
cared for in the home garden in a way that 
would not pay commercially. Fortunately the 
lists of small fruits hardy in Wisconsin in¬ 
clude varieties of high quality. For a family 
of 15 plant as follows: Two hundred straw¬ 
berry plants, 50 Beder Wood, 50 Aroma and 
100 Dunlap. Fifty raspberry, 25 Loudon and 
25 Gregg. Ten Columbian or Shaffers may he 
added if canning berries are wanted. Twen¬ 
ty-five Eldorado blackberries, 10 currants, 
seven Red Cross and three White Victoria. 
Six Downing gooseberry, and if grapes are 
included six Concord, three Moore’s Early and 
three Delaware. All hut the currants and 
gooseberries need Winter protection at Osh¬ 
kosh. _ F. c. 
KEEPING APPLES. 
Our apples grow on one of the abandoned 
farms in the Berkshire Hills. The apples 
are carefully picked about October 1, wlien 
well colored, carefully graded into baskets, 
and when a load is ready placed in a spring 
wagon and taken to the house cellar, and 
very carefully poured in barrels or in bins 
about one foot deep; lower bin is about one 
foot above floor of cellar. Cellar is kept 
open and well ventilated as long as weather 
will permit, generally about December 1. 
House has not been occupied during the 
Winter for several years, until the past two 
Winters. Temperature is about 34 to 38 de¬ 
grees, so cold that potatoes are sometimes 
chilled. Nothing more is done to them until 
taken out for market about March. We keep 
Baldwin and Spy until March with loss of 
not more than two per cent, and we always 
have Spy Into May. Cellar is stone founda¬ 
tion, cool and damp, but well drained, and 
keeps fruit perfectly. This section is well 
adapted to apple culture. Varieties adapted 
to this section are of high, quality and keep 
well, and bring top price in market. Land 
for grazing or dairying can he had in tracts 
for $2 per acre, sometimes less. No need to 
go to Manitoba or the Dakotas for cheap 
land. o. l. hall.
