WASHINGTON COLLEGE IS

Pest Vitriol Fulls to Kill Uie Germ

mended This Treatment Is Now
Vsed In Many of Ute Wheat Dis
tricts In Washington and la Suo
oessful.
The Washington Agricultural col
lege has issued the following Import
ant circular on the treatment of
smut in seed wheat:
The disease we commonly call smut
is produced by a small plant which
lives upon tile wheat plant and steals
Its food from It. The fine black pow
der called smut is made up of a mul
titude of small grains, each of which
may grow Into a smut plant if placed
under the proper conditions. The
smut plant Is a weed. It is a worse
weed for the wheat farmer than is
wild oats, for wild oats grow only In
the soil and there steal the food of
the wheat plant, while the smut plant
grows In the wheat itself and steals
the food after the wheat has extract
ed It from the air and soil.
When a grain of wheat -is planted
with a live smut grain on It, both of
them soon germinate. The grain of
wheat produces a wheat plant; the
grain ot smut produces a smut plant.
The smut plant produces smaller
colorless grains which at once grow
into other smut plants. Thus from
one original black smut grain several
smut plants may soon come. One of
these plants bores Its way through
the tissues of the stalk.
Here It lives for the rest of Us life,
growing up with the stalk and steal
ing fooil from it. But only when the
wheat's skin Is soft and young can
the smut penetrate. About the time
thut tile first green leaf unrolls, the
skin gets hard and from then on can
not be penetrated by the smut. If
the wheat has not been attacked by
this time It is safe. If, however, the
smut plant has succeeded in entering
the wheat stalk the Injury is done
and the wheat will suffer.
While growing up with the stalk
vides for Its next year's growth.
Methods of Trailing for Smut.
It Is evident that the way to cure
the smut disease is to attack it while
Its grains are resting upon the seed
wheat. There are two general meth
ods of attack: (1) The treating of the

Why Vitriol Falls.
The chief object of this process
seems to be to coat the seed wheat
with a visible layer of blue vitriol.
The farmers are usually satisfied if
after the wheat dries it Is blue with
vitriol. The fatal error In the process
les In the fact that but few of the
smut grains are killed and that those

vitriol to four gallons of water. Af
ter carefully timing every sack of
wheat for a full five minutes, he was
, docked two cents per bushel on 1000
bushels of his wheat and from 15 to
20 per cent of his crop remained In
the field as smut
Tlie Formalin Treatment for Smnt.
The formalin treatment is much
superior to either of the vitriol pro
cesses. It kills the smut instead of
retarding Its growth. It does not In
jure the seed If properly used. It
costs but little If any more than the
usual vitriol treatment. One farmer
in Whitman county during the season
of 1901 had one of the smuttiest
pieces of oats ever seen In this re
gion. This year he treated with for
malin, and as a result it was hard to
find a smutted head In the whole 70
acres. At the same time he sowed a
small, row of the seed untreated, and
this was badly smutted. Another
planted 60 acres of oats untreated
and 110 treated with formalin. The
untreated 60 acres were smutted. The
treated 110 acres were not smutted.
He harvested 10 bushels more to each
acre on the treated 110 acres than he
did on the untreated 60 acres.
What Formalin Is.
Formalin is a 40 per. cent solution
of a volatile liquid In water. As ob
tained at the drug store, it has the
appearance of water, but has a char
acteristic odor. It is called by some
manufacturers formaldehyde, or for
malose. Formaldehyde, formalin,
and formalose are all the 'same thing,
and any one may be used. It Is poi
sonous In the strong solution In which
it Is bought and sold, but It Is not
poisonous In the weak solution in
which It Is used to destroy smut
About one pound of formalin Is nec
essary for each 46 or 60 bushels of
seed to be treated.

OSTEOPATHY IN PNEUMONIA.
Said one of Chicago's most emi
nent physicians last winter: "Nat a
medicine is known that will do cue
particle ot good In pneumonia, and
the soener we resume the seareb for
one, the better for ourselves and the
people." But he must add: failure
must always meet the research for
a medicine, for the cause lies beyond
medicine. Medical text-book say the
state In pneumonia is a filling of the
lung tissue with blood and serum
which has exuded from the weaken
ed and dilated blood vessels The
osteopath goes further and finds that
these blood vessels ar- weakened, by
a loss of nerve force which is cut off
by pressure on the voao-motor nerves
to the lungs. The cure depends on
the removal of this pressure. Thus
It Is seen why medicine must tall.
The Osteopath finds this pressure to
be from slightly displaced .vertebrae
and ribs. Correct these and the cure
speedily follows, as was demonstrat
ed the past week In our city on a
case which the medical doctor gave
up and the OstLpath cured. For
particulars, call on Drs. Holslngton,
