Seed Treatment for Control of Oat Smut. • Oat smut is a serious disease at- tacking the heads of the plant form- ing masses of dark brown .powder and occurs annually causing much damage in oat fields which yaries with the cleanliness of the seed used and weather conditions. Smutted plants are usually stunted and con- sequently escape notice. Smut control k based on the fact that the smut organism enters the grain only at the time it germinates. The seed grain is, therefore, the. source of infection and treatment destroys the spores on the surface without injuring the grain. Sprinkling Method Mix on. pint of fresh formalin (40 percent formaldehyde) with 40 gallons of water. Place the oats on a clean floor, sprinkle with the for- ' mann solution and mix thoroughly by shovelling over and ever. This operation should be continued until each grain is dampened, but care used that the grain is not soaked with the solution. Too much Iicjuid will injure the grain. Now cover the grain with bags which have been sprinkled with the formalin solution. Remove three hours later and spread Out in a thin layer to dry. Seeding can be done. as soon as the grein die- enough to go through the drill, which should be adjusted to allow for the slight swelling of •the ker- nels. Ferty gallons of the solution will treat 50 to 60 bushels, 2 quarts being allowed to a bushel. The Concentrated or Dry Formaple- hyde Treatment This method is recommended .by the distinct advantages of safety, simplicity, efficiency and ease of ap- plication. Place the grain 'en -a pile on the barn floor and while shovelling it in- • to another pile SPRAY with a solu- tion composed of one part of for- malin to one of water, using it at the rate of one pint to 25 bushels of - grain, For this operation a quart hand sprayer or atomizer is con. .veident. The chief objection to • this method, namely irritatioa to the eyes, nose and throat, can be .avoided by providing a free eircula- - tion of air and holding :the sprayer • . 'close to the pile. After spray:ng • the Oats they should be mmered with the oats they should he covered with • spray.ed inside and out. Remove the "covering exactly li.ve hours later, , . thenbag the grain and sow immedi- ately. This method is for oats only. . , • - GULF STREAM'S COURSE The force and velocity of the , Gulf Stream vary, to some extent, but its course does not materially change until It has run hundreds of miles northeastwerd Off the coast of , the United States.

We hear so reeeh about the den - ger % to the human from bovine PI' rattle tuberculositi that we regard all types as dangerens. It is indeed re- freshing to know that one team, the avian or fowl tubereulosis is not con- sidered to be dangerous to the health of the human. In so far as It is known at present the only two mam- mals that avian telierculosis affects are the rabbit and the mouse. So why worry about eating a chic that is mildly tubercular or using eggs from a dock that shows $ symptoms?

The y a - In- lad that greater yields frequently by result from the use of seed secured her from, some outside source, has led to the the very common belief that seed the for may lose its ability to reproduce re- satisfactory returns after it has been up- grown on the same farm for a few ng- years. Another class argues quite he Is as vigorously to prove that seed ac- • tually should improve in its ability gs to yield the longer it is propagated ENGAGED ovaries. These may produce eg containing the bacillus If so a nd on the same farm. In other words, they assume that it becomes accli- matized and better fitted to cope with the conditions under which it has been growing. The Dominion "experimental Farm System; composed as it is of numer- ous widely separated Branch Farms, and working in close co-operation with local co-operators, is in a par- nd ticularly good position to study . the ed question from all angles. Without going into detail, our ob- eervations to date lead us to the eon - elusion that a change of seed should be made only in the following cases: - (a) When seed of better and st more serviceable eorts than those e now being used are available. This le can only be de.termined by carefully fe testing othee sorts which seem to promise better then those now being cultivated.

In this way, a few germ car- riers may be. responsible for a large percentage of the flock going down with the diseatte. Chickens that sur- vive the attack are always a maintop in that they carry the bacillus over to the neat breeding season. Find them out and eliminate from the flock at once, The finding out Is done by securing a blood sainple from each bird and applying to it the blood serum or 'agglutination ton.

It was here that little babies were burned to death to placate a god known as Moloch, How many hundreds, thousands or millions were thus sac- rificed we have no means of know- ing but the custom persisted for Perhaps hundreds of years, now dy- ing down for awhile and now Liana - Ing up afresh as some priest lashed the consciencee of Ills hearers and reminded them of the peril in which they stood by neglecting the good old customs of their ancestors. Even Solomon in his old age fell away from the Hebrew faith, and under the influence of his wives built a high place for Moloch, or as he is called in the Bible on this occasion Chernash. Throughout the Old Testament there are references to the practice of sacrificing chil- dren. It seemed to be a custom of great antiquity before Abraham ate - Peered on the stage of world affairs and we remember how he was ready to slay Isaac on account of scale intimation feom above he believed he had reccdved. The old prophets bad to struggle against this mania of the children of Israel, and again and again the passion would take Possession of them. Moses after a short ebsence returned to find hT followers reverting to the 'old evil habits. The persistence of thie habit, which might almost be called an in- stinct, shows how long it had estab- lished itself among human beings. Perhaps the sun was the first thing worshipped on this earth, long be- fore there was any fire to worship. In time the worship of the two be- came blended. thOUgill 00111e tribes kept them distinct. The 'Cartha- ginians. n highle- civilized race, wor- shipped Baal, the sun god. Children by the tena at thousands were sacri- ficed to his honor. M010V11 WaS the fire god, and it was at Tophot that •one of his chief altars WaS reared, an t was a fenactle god to whom the Carthaginians also gave living sacrifices. She was identical with Astarte or Ashtoreth whom Solomon in one of his nellwlona shiped. It was the Children oi Israel who set up, outside the walIn of jerusalem, on the spot recently unearthed, a brazen image of Mol- och Th '00 Was ape to re- sernble a calf's and there were nut - stretched arms to receive the silcrie flees. The priests would build a roaring fire in the belly of the mon- ster and when a sacrifice was re- quired the infant would be placed be the outstretched hands. Then the priest, by manipulating a lever, would cause the hands to throw the body into fhb gaping mouth and thence in- to the flames. The priest and the meehanism remained concealed, and we suppose the worshippers thought the god really moved. It is suggest- ed by some students that the idea, of Satan held by the writers of the Obi Testament. was a development of the actual Moloch. Satin is the flee god, who reigns in the Interior of the earth a -here there are undying fires. The original Hebrew word translat- ed as "hell," means a pit, while in the New Testament "hell" meana only a grave. Some of the ancient conceptions of a lake of brimstone, in Which the Wicked are to be cast and kept in everlasting tormeat, were due to the fact that the Mediterranean is a highly volcanic region. Eruptions were phenomena early noted. It wee lain to the observers, who believed hat the earth was flat, that wane- vhere underground were terrible res, The brimstone touch was due the fact that sulphur 10 genera/1y volcanic output. It was eupposed hat the Fire God dwelt in the ee re- lines and that only by being appeae- d with sacrifices could he be ersunded to remain in his own ter - tory and not consume the whole orld. Children were the accepted acrifices, mainly, perhaps, for the eason that they could not resist, ut also because they were the dear- st things the parents had to offer.

The purpose of this distribu- tion is to assist farmers and land owners in the Province to improve their woodlots and to reforest waste portions of their holdings. 011 most farms there are a few acres which might profitably be devoted to the planting of trees, such as steep hill- sides, sandy or gravelly areas, swamp land, and fields cut off by streams or railroads.. Such areas maY, be set out with trees at little trouble and expense, which will add value to the property and be a useful addition Lan small amounts of timber and fuel. Also, in some sections of the Province where the land is all of good agricultural worth, and little forest remains, it would be'prolitable to plant a . few acres with trees. Such work, however, will require special Care, and for a description of aS well as all other londs of planting., the land owner should read the bulletin entitled, "Forest Tree Planting," distributed free by the Ontario Forestry Branch, The Chinese New Year began Saturday, Feb. 13.
