TREATING WITH FORMALIN.
One. 16 -os. pound of standard com-
mercial formaldehyde, well stirred in
40 imperial gallons of water, gives the
proper strength for treating the cereal
grains. The seed may either be dip-
ped in this solutaani out it may he put
on. the floor in a pile and sprinkled
with it,
Given the right strength of solution
only two other things are 'essential to
kill the spores, -First, the unbroken
smut balls oast be removed either by
th•e fanning mill or by floating them off
the surface of the liquid -the solution
will not penetrate to the centre of an.
unbroken ,smut hence this precau-
tion must be taken to remove thein;
e.,nd second, the (entire surfaces. of each
,seed must be moistene'a-
if the seed is clipped it should not be
left in the solution for more than four
ar five minuted before being removed
and spread out to dry. Formalin does
net weaken. in strength. as is ,ordinarily
supposed, amid may be used( as long as
the supply lasts.
If the grain is sprinkled about one
gallon per bushel should be used. As
the solution is befog applied, the grain
sJ,oulcl be shovelled or turned over and
over to insure uniform and th,eroaugh
nic.$sten rig of the whole surface sof
each grain, After sprinkling with for=
ronin the grain should be heaped up in
a pile and c•ovei ed with bags, or blank-
ets for about three •,:ours, ` when it
should be uncovered and spread out
th,iniy to dry. '
