Eli toils of a line Nefoundlaud dog tlmt wtorprosentedyTo Ills masdor by an ad- liiiriug friend who lix’ed in Nova Beotia. The dog was very intelligent, natf the “Sago of A-dtland” trained him with liis own'haud to perform a number of Tvonderinl tricks, one of winch Eli re members to Ik; as follows: Li one of "the pnstHres in winch Mr. "Cbiy allowed ids linost stock to run was a fine wi 11, with a large trough attached, by means of which the cattle were supj hod with wat- r.. The water was drawn from the well by the bucket and spindle system, but it required ft great deal oi manual it.in operation. To avoid this, Mr. Clay eoqjgpeted a small trend mill, uttaebed it to the spindle of the well with an iron crank, and tlioh trahibV the dbg to walk the treadmill. Iu this manner the trough win, kept constantly noans a diseaea which wavaa the grain 1 early Rs normal aiae and shape, but illed with .a black and stinking dust; his is tho one doubtless referred to by a iVyoming inauirer—accordingly it alone trill be considered here. It may, how- irer, be well to say that tho wheat smut >f tho books, and also of the English larmcM, is tliat which turn* tho whole read into a black, dustv powder, and la mown In amne parts of this country aa jlast, blnok blast, black blight, etc. The names under which the wheat smut 1* generally known lu England are bant nr stinking smut, and. under these It aas often biieu doscribed. It is a true lueawrmid, like many'of the disease# >f animals and man, is the result of the growth of a parasitic plant. This wheal parasite (known to botan* 1 •>ts as T'illetia carles), consists of slender 1 breads of microswipih size which in- •inuate themselves between the oelta :tud tissues of the young wheat plant, (rawing therefrom the nutrient matters, snd thereby reducing considerably,iha general vitality of the affected plant. As Is well known, an ordinary plant con- 'sist's of a great number of colls, each resembling a microscopic bladder, filled with protoplasm, wa,l«r and oome other 'ubfltances. Were our eyes Aronger the Inierior of a young wheat plant would ! appear not much unlike a barrel of , l potatoes, the potatoos representing the ells. The cells in the want, much »s m I the potatoes In the barrel’,” have empty j or vacant spaces between one another. Now if wc can im:iginc sonic slender jdant growing no Ifotwean tho potatoes in. the barrel amr drawing nourishment from them, we will have a crede illue* t ration of the way that tho smut para site attacks the wheat plant. The para- ute, however, not (“intent with growing in between the cells of the wheat jdant, atld so robbing them, actually pene trates them, thrusting in branches and suckers here and there in order to more 1 certainly secure their nutritious con tents. _- When thi; wheat begins to head the parasitic threads push their way into the young kernels, and there find an abundance of food. Here the parasite reaches' its highest development, and produces an abundant crop of its minute black spores, to sene as seed lor the nextyeur’s crop. A wheat kernel thus tilled with spores is generally a little shorter and thicker than a healthy grain, and is always of a (L^k-greenish color. Upon crushing it, a rhoit offensive odor is given off by the black dnatyi mass of the interior.

When we come to the question of preventions it is st once evident that whatever will destroy the spores or eliminate them from the seed-wheat will, in so far, ie*af n the liabilitr to the disease.

In whatever manner the smutted grains are removed it must be borne In mind that many spores adhere to those which are not smntted, and these spores must be removed or destroyed, or but little good will oome from the operation. This last may be scoomplished by the use of caustic lime, which raav be su- plled in the dry state to the wetted wheat after the washing spoken of above.
