Thin thrimh, however, confines Itself al most entirely to the mountains and gorge* of the far West. The wood thrush, on the other hand,' is distrib uted over the eastern part of the ITnited States, and is a frequenter of open groves and bushy pastures. This thrush also is noted for Its sweet .song, esjwclally in the early evening. It does not nest in gardeps or orchards .however, and is seldom seen about farm buildings, so that many peopb who are familiar with Its song woub not know the bird by sight.

Smut is tha most widespread and destructive disease of small grain and it occurs/ wherever oats and wheat are grown. When proper control ,jnTith ods are not practiced, it frequently causes serious loos. Fortunately, it is not hard to prevent this disease. In formalin we have an easily obtainable preparation that does the work eflft* cientjy.' Before sowing oats or wheat, farmers should treat the seed with a formalin solution to prevent smut. Smut is caused by a parasitic growth that lives in the tissues of the plant. The disease spreads by spores (very small, seed like bodies) which cling to the hulls or lodge in the creaaea of individual oat or wheat grains and are thus carried into a field with the seed. The spores germi nate at about the eame time that the plants come up and the disease grows directly into the tissue of the young plant. I Smut lives in plants apparently wlthput doing serious damage until the plants begin to head out. Then tile disease concentrates its efforts in the heads and black, sooty masses of Bpores fill the places where grain, should form. As these masses break up, the spores are scattered over the field by wind. Many lodge In grains on healthy headd of oats or wheat and remain alive there until the seed are planted again. Some remain in the diseased heads and are carried to thd thresher. In threshing, the smut spores are scattered everywhere and many find resting places In healthy grains. Qat or wheat smut can be controlled by soaking the planting seed in a chemical solution that will kill the smut spores 1h the seed 'without Injur ing the germinating powers of the seed. The best chemical to use for this is formalin, which Is a 40 per cent solution x>t formaldehyde. It may be procured from any reliable druggist. Treatment with it is made as follows: Make up the formalin solution by mixing one pint formalin (40 percent solution of formaldehyde) with 40 gal lons water. Sack the grain to be treated, about a bushel to a sack. Dip each sack of grain into the barrel of solution and let it remain there for from five to ten minutes, moving the sack up and down several times to make sure that all the grains are thor oughly wot. Finally, lift the sack and let the solution drain out, after which either pile the l?ags o?. treated grain together and cover with bagging or canvas, or pour the treated grain into a pile on a clean floor and cover with bagging or canvas. Leave the grain covered thus for from 12 to 24 hours. As a last step, spread the grain thinly over a clean floor to dry. The grain seed should l>e dried as rapidly as possible to prevent sprout- ' ing. Niaturally, grain . Jthos tr?eatod j should bo put In clean bins or sacks j so as not to be again exposed to tho j disease. Sacks and bins that have ' contained diseased grain may bo dis infected by washing with a formalin solution made of one pint formalin to 10 gallons water. H. W. BARRE.

ARE YOUR COWS EFFI CIENT? ? ? ? ? \ \ Putting the efficiency test to cow's with the milk scales and the Babcock tester Is one of the ossentials of con -dueting a succGSBftndalry. When feed is high in price a farmer cannot af- j ford to have boarders in his dairy | barn who eat up more in feed than their milk yield is worth. The Bab cock test will show these delinquent cows in their true light and the milk scales will put the clincher on the argument. Testing cows will give somo farmers a big surprise. Some times the cow that looks llko the poorest croature In the lot is the best butterfat producer. The dairy divis ion of Clemson College offers to glvo any farmer advice about testing milk and keeping records. Test, don't guess. EQUIPPED FOR LIVE STOCK WORK. The extension division of Clemson College is well ~ equipped to assist farmers in any part of South Carolina with any problems in livestock that may arise. The college has two men giving all their time to beef cattle and swine extension work, three dairy extension experts and one extension poultryman. This is one ot the larg est and h^st equipped animal husband ry extension forces in the United States. South Carolina farmers should tf ke advantage of their oppo tunities along this line to get exptrV help free of coat.
