CURE FOR SMUT |N WHEAT. Let a tub be partly filled with cold water, and then let £ ft. Bluestone (previously ground and dissolved in hot water), be mixed wiih it. When you observe it all melted, then pour one bushel of wheal into the mixture. If the water is not sufficient, supply more, until the wheat is covered over. Six or seven hours is the time for it to remain in the water. Four or five hours will be wrong. That is, according to Maori way of reckoning, if, in summer, you cast the wheat into the water, at sunrise, then you take it out again, when the sun is just above you (at noon). And the mixture must be laid aside for another soaking. Then take a \ ft. of Bluestone, and dissolve in mixture left, as above, and throw another bushel of wheat into it, supplying fresh water as before, until the wheat be just covered over. Let it remain the same time as before: and do so with every other bushel. When the wheal is taken out of the water, let it be spread out, that it may dry quickly and perfectly, lest it sprout within the bag. Y Bluestone can be had at Druggists, at the rate of three shillings per ft.
