smut in forty yours tins was when tlie wheat wds not Another experiment tried on seed in which were a few balls of being steeped in chamber lye and limed one-third steeped m the same and not limed and the without steeping or ing nod the result was that the seed pickled and limed and that and not limed were free from smut but the other hul smutty ears in abundance Another experiment was tried by taking a peck of very smutty wheat of which ouo half was sown in its state tho other half washed clean as bles in three waters soaked two hours in brine enough to bear an egg and dashed with lime tho result was two- thirds ot the unwashed was smutty but of the pickled and limed seed there was u full crop without a single ear of smut A experiment somewhat varied is the following Of four sacks of ty wheat one sack was soaked iu strong brine only one prepared with lime on- ly ono was soaked in strong brine and then lay iu lime all night and the fourth was sown without any the result was where brme only was used now then there was a smutty ear but not many where lime only was used was about the same quantity of smut whore lime und brine were used not a single smutty ear could be found and where
