The Treatment Is Neither Difficult Nor Expensive. The treatment of seed grains in order to prevent smut has become a recog- nized farm practice, says the Farm Progress. It pays whether the forma- lin or other treatment is used. The treatments for smut are neither diffi cult nor expensive. The formalin may be got at any drug store at a cost of from 75 cents to 90 cents per pound or cheaper when bought in quantities. One pound is suf- ficient for forty-five to sixty bushels of grain. It should be used at the rate of one ounce to three gailons of water, and as a rule one gallon of the mixture is sufficient to treat one bushel of grain. The seed wheat may be treated by spreading the grain in thin layers on a smooth floor, canvas or on the hard ground and sprinkling with diluted formalin, so as to thoroughly wet the grain with the mixture. Then shovel AN EXAMPLE OF GRAIN SMUT. the grain thoroughly for a few times to insure an even distribution of the solution. The wheat should then be covered with bags or blankets to keep the fumes of the formalin within. It shoulc stand in this way for from six to twelve hours and should then be dried thoroughly by spreading out in thin layers and stirring frequently. The seed is then ready for sowing. Be sure that the wheat is not put in bags that are infested with smut when carrying it to the field and be sure that your drill is disinfected with formalin and dried thoroughly before drilling the wheat in. The hot water treatment for stinking smut of wheat and smut of oats con- sists of soaking the seed in hot water at a temperature of 152 degrees to 133 degrees F. for ten to fifteen minutes. This consists of some means of heat- ing the boiler, such as a large kettle or boiler, three large barrels or vats, pails or baskets with perforated |.ot- toms, sacks and a good thermometer. A good thermometer is absolutely necessary for all hot water treatments, as the use of an instrument which is not accurate will result in injury to the germinating powers of the grain on one hand or in failure to prevent the smut on the other. The baskets can be made by perforat- ing the bottoms of ordinary galvanized iron or tin pails or small tubs with numerous holes, or special galvanized iron baskets muy be ordered from the tinsmith. These should hold from a half to a bushel of grain, and the bottom should be made of strong, fine wire screen or of closely perforated tin plate. The holes should not be so large that ker- nels of wheat will go through. Two such baskets are sufficient, but three or more often prove convenient. The barrels are numbered 1, 2 and 3, respectively. Hot water from the ket- tle or boiler is poured into barrels Nos. 1 and 2 until they are a little more than half full, and cold water is put in No. 8. The temperature of the water in barrel No. 2 is then brought to 133 degrees F. by pouring in cold or hot water as needed, while the water in No. 1 is kept at 115 degrees to 120 de- grees F.
