Smut is, truly speaking, a disease of the grain. It is not the effect of weather or culture. No cause can he assigned for it, more than for other disarrangements of organic functions hy secret and hidden causes, and the results of which are disease and death. It is, apparently, infectious. If not guarded against, a single head to an acre will, in a few years, cor- rupt an entire crop. It is supposed to spread from the adherence of par- ticles of the dry, smutty dust to the furzy end of the seed..., by which its entire composition is infected, disease fastens upon the germ and is de- veloped in the future harvest. The remedy for smut is very simple, and if carefully applied is effect- ual. The seed should he soaked in water and then rolled in lime. This treatment destroys the virus, smut or whatever the infection may be, or, at least, under it the infectious principle disappears. Followed for a few- years it will cure an entire crop of this troublesome and injurious dis- ease. This is the only disease, properly so called, to which wheat is subject.
