\ SMUT IN WHEAT.
Smut in wheat was once a great cause
of loss and complaint, and it was fouud
that the smut increased when smutty
seed was used. I found by making a
strong brine with blue vitriol dissolved
in it, putting it in a tub large enough to
hold a tight basket in which th$ seed
wheat was placed?the wheat stirred and

and allowed to drain,when it was poured
out or put io bags and so remained twelve
to twenty-four hours, and then sown in
the usual manner. 1 never found tv'' ^
fail as a remedy in wheat. TW'strong
brine was useful to float out light and
probably diseased grains.and also to perfectly
introduce the vitriol to all the
Kimutui wueai. i wo years ago, iniHK
ing of this, I poured my seed corn on the
floor and poured among it a solution of
blue vitriol and gave it a good stirring.
But it will bo seen that that way of applying
the vitriol did not surely reach
every grain. The result was much less
smut than in former years.?Hoard's

' MAKING TOIIK TOO FAT.
The evil of over-fattening pork is less
common than it used to he. Two reasons
have combined to make lean .tncat more
popular. The doctors taught that it was
more healthful and nutritious than the

able nor needed. The change in waj's of
feeding has also had something to do
with making pork more wholesome. Corn
is no longer the exclusive food even for
fattening. The best practice now is to
feed the rations that will make hogs grow
and keep thrifty from the time it is born
until it is killed. There may he exceptions
to this in animals kept for breeders;
but all others should he fat enough for
use from the time they are the right size
for ro istiug. By the liberal use of milk,
oatmeal and peas growth is promoted,
along with at all times enosigh fat to

them to the surface will usually lie found
HSV detrimental rather than otherwise.
Where there has been a continuous shallow
plowing of the surface soil for years
a slightly deeper plowing will add to the
feeding area of the plants, but unless the
surface soil is itself rich it must bo accompanied
by liberal manuring. As the
great bulk of the roots of our cultivated
plants grow naturally near the surface, it
keems to me that subso'ling for the purpose
of increasing the feeding area is not
of sufficient importance to pay the expense;
we must look somewhere else, for
its benefits if it has enough to recommend
it for general adoption..; It isjiow ooming
to be pretty 'Well understood that
when a crop has carried off from a soil of
moderate fertility the plant food that has
been used up in its productitAi it must be
mwlie'olytmned simply by deep plowing,
whether the subsoil is brought to the surface
or simply stirred up and left in its
place. Ho far as iny 'own observation
nnd little experience go, the advantages
of suhsoiling mainly consist in affording
additional storage for water that may be
drawn upon by the roots of planta-hi M'ti*
eons of drought; and in s- ion of excessive
moisture the suhsoiling may itself be
injurious.?New York WorUt.

THE rnorEH CARE OF A COI.T. Jj
We will start with the suckling nt th? tl

good parentage, both sire and dam, that Ji
it is sound and able to stand and walk ?
within fifteen minutes after it breathes, f
At the age of a week most farmers come *
to work the dam and let the suckling J1
follow around as best he can, and at the r
age of four mouths, the colt being then J
of sufficient age to wean, the dam has *
performed a good summer's work,worked
just as hnrd as her gelding mate with no c

--minted blood, tiresome labor of both
marc and colt is really killing both.
The mare and colt during the first
four, five or six months should be' kept
in good pasturo where there is plenty of
good water and shade. While it may be
practicable to wean the colt at four
months, we certainly prefer six, and now

had previously told me that he would |

him if he ever knew too big a growth of 1
boy, but to this there was no answer. ,
The colt should have a warm place to <
protect himself from cold weather and
storms, a bed of dry straw or sawdust to
sleep upon, or to lie down at pleasure; he
must not be confined to the stable, but
have a yard; or, better still, an open
field to run in; in no ease should he be
allowed to stand on a hard floor.?

A French Heroine.
A splendid hercine is Sister Marie Thoresc,
the superior of the Sisters of Mercy,
now in Tonkin, who was lately created a
Knight of the Legion of Honor, the
Governor-General drawing his sword in
ftrcsenco of the assembled garrisou and
ightly touching the shoulder of this venerable
and devoted lady thrice with the
glittering weapon as ho pronounced the
stirring words: "In the name of tho
French people, in the name of tho French
array, I present you with this Cross of
Honor! No one has more glorious claims
to this reward, as no one has more thnn
you dovoted a whole lifo to the service
of the country." The troops wero then
ordered to "present arms," and the ceremony
coucluacd as impressively as it had
begun. The Governor-General was not
indulging in any figure of speech wheu
ho thus addressed this heroic ladv, for
such a record as hers is not an ordinary
ono. Sister Marie Thercse had barely attained
her twenty-sixth year when sho
was wounded at Halnklava as she was
tending the troops on that mcmorablo
battlefield. The Italian campaign was
her next experience, and again Bhe was
wounded at Magenta, in the forefront of
iL ? IN? 1. T _ C3 t - 1? m. f 3
nit; rreuuu army. 111 oynu, in v^inuH auu
in Mexico she was nt her post alleviating
the sufferings of the sick and wounded;
but the most splendid achievement of all
was at Reichshofen. On that field?
which the French remember with pride,
calling to mind the gallant behavior of
their curiassiers?Sister Marie Thereso
pMiUad up hadly wnnn,<V\fl?an)Ul tlifl,
bodies of the slain; but her injuries dia
not long detain her from her work of
mercy, and shortly afterwards, a shell
having fallen close to the ambulance entrusted
to her care, she took the missllo
up and carried it to some distance, when
it burst, again wounding her severely.
She had hardly recovered from those terrible
injuries when she was summoned to
Tonkin and nobly responded to the call.
Such is the woman whose heroism has
been publicly recognized, just as she has
attained the age of three-score years and
ten.
Nothing sinks a young man into low
company, both of raeu and women, so
surely as timidity and diffidence of himself.
If he thinks that he shall not, he
may depend upon it he will not please,
and a degree of persuasion thnt he shall,
it is almost certain that ho will.
