Henderson has com pleted some experiments he has been making this year to determine the best treatment for smut in wheat and oats. Formalin, copper sulphate and hot water treatments were all tried with pood results. This spring he planted some wheat obtained from warehouses end which was badly smutted. This wheat at the present time shows 55 per cent smut. Wheat from the same sacks was planted after being subject ed to treatment. The formalin treat ment pave 100 per cent purity, there being no smut at present. The copper sulphate treatmen* showed only ! to i per cent smut. Oats were also tried for the same defect and without treatment pave 7 per cent smut and after belnp treat ed pave no noticeable trace of smut. These experiments are to be pre pared In bulletin form and distribu ted. "Professor Henderson also conducted ome experiments at Clarkston for to mato bllpht. These experiments did not turn out as well ns the praln ex periments but additional ones' will be tried next done to till crs.

Moscow, Idaho, Aug. 12.—Francis Jenkins, of this place, has been ap pointed registrar of the university to succees W. G. Harrison, who recently resigned. Several years ago the board of regents Inaugurated a policy of con centrating and centering all the bus iness part of the university executive in this office, and Mr. Jenkins purposes to carry this policy out on a larger scale this year than ever before. Mr. Jenkins is one of the old pio neers, having come to the state in the year 1884. and lfns since that time held many offices of both public and private trust. In ISSj-O he was treas urer for Shoshone county and from 1880 to 1893 he was superintendent of the Bunker Hill mines: from 1893 to 1899 manager of the Virtue Consolidat ed mines. In 1902 he served as a rep resentative of Shoshone county in the legislature and was the leader of his j party during the session. Last fall I at the republican state convention he j was a candidate for governor, but was 1 defeated by Governor Gooding. ! Judge K. C. Steel made an order j yesterday vacating the temporary ln ! junction heretofore granted in the case : wherein the Optimist Publishing com- j ! pnny was plaintiff and A. L. Morgan. I J. R. Greer and TT. K. Greer were de- j fendants. The property in litigation in : this case was a printing plant at Oro- ! fino. This plant, which belongs to the Optimist Publishing company, origi- j ntllly belonged to Greer Brothers, who j sold It to the company and took a mortgage for the purchase price, which ; fell due April 23. 190.7. Morgan was* the secretary for the Optimist Publish- ; Ing company, and during the year end- ! lug June, 1904. was the editor and manager of the paper. In the latter part of July last, the note and mort gage being overdue, Morgan, who is an attorney, commenced an action to foreclose on behalf of Greer Brothers before the constable at Orofino. The Optimist Publishing company enjoined the sale of the property under fore closure and alleged a conspiracy to de fraud them by Greer Brothers. The injunction was dissolved because of the Insufficiency of the complaint upon which It was based, and it Is under stood that the plant 1 = to be sold GREAT LOSS IN TIMBER i ; i I I J 1 -. . _ ... ~~ Forest Fires in the Pierce District Are ' " A,e Not Yot Checked.

If there Is a variation of Jo or more de grees when the milk Is run through the separator at different times the richness of the cream will vary with the temperature, says American Cul tivator. In some eases, owing to some delay, the separator may not be started so soon after milking as In others. The milk then cools off below the proper separating temperature, and unless due allowance is made for this loss of fut will occur. The speed at which the separator is turned has considerable influence on the thoroughness of separation and upon the texture of the cream. If at any time the work is hurried and more milk is run through the machine In a given time than is usual, the «inullty of the cream will he changed. The amount of skim milk or water run through the machine when the separa tor Is about finished will Influence the quality of the cream, depending upon whether the machine is flushed out with a little or u largo iiuantity of water or milk. After a person becomes aware of the effect of each of these things upon the texture of the cream lie can. if he likes, run the separator each time so that his cream will be fairly uniform. Sometimes the separa tor is started us soon ns milking is commenced. This is all right if mat ters are so arranged that the machine Is running at full capacity all the time, but v hen tiie supply runs out and the machine lias to he stopped or to run empty until a further lot of milk is brought, then we get a cream that Is not uniform in composition. The chief points in running a sepa rator so as to obtain uniform results are to watch the speed at which the machine is run. the temperature of the milk and the amount of milk skimmed per hour.
