Curing Clam of Dlaanao.
DlRonHod need oats aro now medi
cated while pausing through elevators,
a number of tho grain elevators of
Indiana having been equipped for tho
purpoHO. Tho peculiar ailment to
which oats nro most susceptible is
known as "smut" nnd unless treated
such oat produce very Inferior crops.
However, tho disenso can bo cured
qulto easily, and the medicament Is
simply formaldehyde, that much
abused germicide.
To treat tho oats a veritnblo drop or
chute about threo feet square nnd forty
to fifty feet high Is prepared, on the
insldo of which aro placed shelves or
deflectors sloping downward, alternat
ing on two opposite sides from top to
bottom. As tho grain drops from tho
top It Is thrown from sido to sldo by
thy deflectors and thus thoroughly
mixed.
Ity means of a small steam pump tho
, formaldehydo is then thrown, In tho
form of n flno spray, against tho falling
grain near tho top of the drop. IJy tho
tlmo tho grain reaches the bottom it is
thoroughly moistened, being allowed to
remain In this condition several hours,
after which It Is run through tho drop
n second tlmo, with a bljtst of cold nir
rcplnclug tho stream of formaldehydo
pray, by, which It Is thoroughly dried.

Msok Timber tfaoat.
Across the great lakes In Canada
there lies one of the world's largest
reserves of timber. In spite of tlio
tariff imposed much of Oils timber is
today coming to the United States.
The forests of tlio Dominion are begin
ning to yield abundantly. More than
100,000,000 feet of plno nawlogs and
square timber, during a recent season,
were cut upon territory held under
timber license from the crown.
Much of Canada's timber land has
not yet' even been explored. In tlio
newly developed districts of Algoma,
which aro close to the great lakes, It
is estimated that tliero aro more than
300,000,000 cords of spruco and pulp
wood, while In tho districts of Thun
der Ray and Rainy River tliero are
nearly 200,000,000 cords more. A belt
at least 3,000 miles long Is believed to
exist in Canada between Alaska and
tlio Atlantic.
It has been estimated that, at the
present rate of cutting, the greatest
timber resources of the United States
tlioso of the Pacific coast will be
exhausted In less than half a century.
The annual cut of shingles and lumber
In tlicso regions is 4,500,000,000 feet.
Tho standing timber In Washington,
Oregon and northern California at
present is twice that of the original
timber lands of tlio northern woods.
Washington produces about as many
feet of shingles and other lumber as
Oregon and California together. This
State is noted for Its shingles, there
being more than 1,000 sblngio mills
within Its borders. At Tacoma are lo
cated the largest sawmills In the
United States.

About niril's-ICyo Itlnplc
For hundreds of years lumbermen
and cabinet-makers have been study
ing to learn what causes maple wood
to assume tho mottled and spotted
form known as "bird's-eye." In a
hundred rock maple trees perhaps one
is a bird's-eye. Nobody can pick the
specific tree out by Inspecting the bark
or tho manner of growth. You may
have to chop 200 trees before you find
one, but it Is worth the sacrifice.
Fact Is, the woodpeckers make all
the bird's-eye maple there is In the
world. In flying about the woods
they come to a rock maple tree that
yields very sweet sap In tho season
when sap la running. Most birds like
sweets woodpeckers aro very fond of
sugar. . Having found a tree yielding
a largo per cent of sugar, the birds
peck holes In the trunk and tuen
stand against the bark and drink tho
sap as it oozes out
After the sap has ceased to flow and
the trees have leaved out new wood
and bark form in those small holes.
Tho pecking and sap-gathering goes
on for years until the tree, having
given up so much sap to the birds, be
gins to furnish fluid containing less
sugar. In ten or twelve years after
the birds quit a tree the holes arc all
grown up and nobody can pick out the
big bird's-eyes from other trees that
tho woodpeckers did not visit New
York- Sun.

When the summer time has ended and
the saucy autumn breeze
Gets to toying with the leaves on ell
the brilliant colored trees,
Ah, 'tis then the hearts grow lighter
and the spirits start to rise,
When tho frost is on the pumpkin and
tho pumpkin's in the pies.
When the days are growing shorter and
the birds have gone away,
And the corn Is growing riper In the
fields from day to day,
There's a rosy glow pervading all the
hazy nutumn'skies,
When tho frost is on the pumpkin and
tho pumpkin's in the pics.
When the hammocks havo been put
away and open cars are gone,
And you never see a tennis player chas
ing on tho lawn,
When tho collego people gather and you
hear tho football cries,
Then the frost is on tho pumpkin and
the pumpkin's in tho pies.
You recall with Iota of pleasure all the
summer days could give,
But since tho autumn days have started,
then you know 'tis joy to live,
As your mouth begins to water, and
there's gladness in your eyes,
When the frost is on the pumpkin and
the pumpkin's in the pies.
