FARMERS HELPED BY USE
OF FEDERAL GRAIN GRADES
The miller buying wheat from a
farmer is willing to pay more for it
if. among other things, it has a heavy
bushel weight, is dry and sound and
is free from weed seeds—in other
words, if it meets the federal re
quirements for No. 1 grade, of the
proper subclass. The miller knows
he can get from such grain more and
better flour, with less labor and ex
pense on his part. This is illustrated
j by results of several hundred tests
made by the bureau of markets,
United States department of agricul
ture, in which No. 1 spring wheat
(according to federal standards)
weighing 58 pounds per bushel, yield
ed 71.3 per cent of straight flour and
28.7 per cent of bran and middlings,
iOn the other hand, spring wheat
igrading No. 5, weighing 50 pounds
i per bushel, yielded C 3.8 per cent
• straight flour and 36.2 per cent bran
and middlings.
Penalizing Grower of Good Wheat
: When the country dealer under nor
imal marketing conditions buys the
wheat of his section at a flat rate he
i has in mind the approximate federal
! grade the average run of local wheat
’ will receive at the market where he
I sells, and he pays accordingly. But
I under such circumstances the farmer
i who raises choice wheat receives the
i same price as the one who raises poor
; wheat. The farmer who raises the
I poorest wheat in the section, there
fore, receives more than he should,
while the one who raises the best
receives less. This putting of a pre
mium on poor wheat tends to dis
courage the growing of a better
grade product.
1 Grades have long been used in the
larger markets. Prior to the fixing
of federal grades, however, these lo
cal grades differed in the va
rious markets and their application
frequently was based largely on the
judgment of the individual inspector
at each market. Consequently, it
was very difficult for the country
! dealer to apply grades accurately.
IHe was not sure that the grain he
| had bought at one grade would be re
ceived at that grade by the one to
I whom he delivered it. In contrast
to this, the grades established by the
federal government are uniform
throughout the country. Further-

more, standardized equipment has
been perfected for making many of
the tests to determine the grade, so
that with the aid of uniform rules
for grading, the federal standards can
be applied uniformly in all parts of
the country.
Acquainting Farmers With. Grades
While the government has no au
thority under the United States grain
standards act to supervise grain
grading under federal grades, except
in the work of licensed inspectors
and in interstate shipments, the
government does want to acquaint
farmers and dealers generally with
the application of the federal stand
ards so that they may benefit more
generally thereby. This is one Tea
son why federal grain supervision
officials give demonstrations of fed
eral grades at state fairs, local
grain-grading schools, and other
places, and colleges give grain-grad
ing courses. By these means the
farmer learns how to apply the
grades to his own wheat. He may
not care to supply himself with a
set of the equipment to grade his
own grain but by learning the essen
tial features of the standards and
the grading rules he will be able to
know whether the country buyer Is
correctly grading his grain when be
markets it.
Appealing to Inspector
In addition, if a country dealer
buys by grade and his farmer cus
tomer thinks he doesn’t grade right,
they can mail a sample, upon which
they both agree as being representa
tive of the lot of grain, to a licensed
grain inspector for grading. The
sample required should be at least
two quarts in size. About one and
one-eighth pints of it is put in a
clean, air-tight can which is placed
with the rest of the sample In a
clean cloth sack. A reasonable fee—
usually not over sl- is charged by
inspectors for each certificate issued.
Bulletins which explain in deta.il
the methods of taking samples, how
to mail them to an inspector for
grading, and the grading rules, have
been prepared by the bureau of mar
kets, United States department of
agriculture. They will be sent free
to anyone requesting them.
System and care in the manage
ment of sitting hens will result in
satisfactory broods of chickens at
a comparatively small expense. How
ever, eyen with the best of care,
some hens prove to be fickle moth
ers and cause trouble and loss in
hatching by breaking their eggs,
leaving their nests, or trampling on
the chickens when first hatched.
Most hens of the general-purpose
breeds, such as the Plymouth Rocks,
Wyandottes, Rhode Island Reds, and
Orpingtons, make very good moth
ers. The heavier class, or meat
breeds, including the Brahmas and
Cochins, make good sitters, but are
inclined to be clumsy on the nest.
The Leghorns and other Mediterra
nean breeds are non-sitters and
rarely make good mothers.
How to Set a Hen
>As the time approaches for the
hen to become broody or sit, if care
is taken 'to look into the it
will be seen that there are a few,
soft, downy feathers being left
there by the hen; also, the hen
stays longer on the nest when lay
ing at this time, and on being ap
proached will quite likely remain
on the nest, making a clucking
noise, ruffling her feathers, and
pecking at the intruder. When it is
noted that a hen sits on the nest
from two to three nights in succes
sion, and that most of the feathers
•re gone from her breast, which
feels hot to the hand, she is ready
lb be transferred to the nest’
which has been prepared for her
beforehand.
Dust the hen thoroughly with in
sect powder, and in applying the
powder hold the hen by the feet,
the head down, working the powder
well into the feathers, giving spe
cial attention to regions around
the vent and under the wings. The
powder should also be sprinkled in
the nest. The nest should be in
some quiet, out-of-the-way place,
where the sitting hen will not be
disturbed, and it may consist of
hay, chaff, or straw. Pack firmly
and shape out of it a circular nest
which will be deeper in the center
than at the sides. Move the hen
from the regular laying nest at
night and handle her carefully in
doing so. Put a china egg or two
in the nest where she Is to Sit,
and place a board over the opening
so that she can not get off. Toward
the evening of the second day quiet
ly go in where she is sitting, leave
some feed and water, remove the
board from the front or top of the
nest, and let the hen come off when
She is ready. Should she return to
the nest after feeding, remove the
china egg or eggs and put under
those that are to be incubated.
If the nests are slightly dark
ened the hens are less likely to be
come restless. At hatching time they
should be confined and not be dis
turbed until the hach is completed
unless they become restless, when
ft may be best to remove the chicks
that are hatched first. In cool
weather it is best not to put more
than 10 eggs under a hen, while
later in the spring one can put 12
to 15, according to the size of the
hen.
Care of the Sitting Hen
If several hens are sitting in the
same room, see that they are kept
on the nests, allowing them to come
off only once a day to receive feed
and water, the feed to consist of
corn, wheat, or both. If there are
any that do not desire to come
off, they should be taken off. Hens
usually return to their nests before
there is any danger of the eggs
chilling, but if they do not go back
in half an hour In ordinary weath
er, they should be put on the nest.
The eggs and nests should be ex
amined and cleaned. Remove all
broken eggs and wash those that
are soiled. In the latter case the
soiled nesting material should be
removed and clean straw added.
Nests containing broken eggs that
the hen is allowed to sit on soon
become infested with mites and lice,
which cause the hens to become
uneasy and leave the nest, often
causing the loss of valuable sittings
of eggs.

A horse with a propensity for eat

in the court of Magistrate Samuels,
Twenty-third and Market streets,

A tenant of Mrs. Klotz, T. J. Bayne,

the principal witness against Mrs.

testimony was against the horse, but
the witnesses testified that Mrs.
Klotz used unbecoming language
when the tenant called the escapades
of the animal to her attention.
Mr. Payne said he rented his home

Morning and. a Quart
It was cold, detectives say Moy
lan and Mcßride explained, and they’d
been working all night. Morning and
a brilliant idea dawned together. One
of the pair brought out a quart bot
tle and the other a corkscrew. Pres
ently they shook the bottle, tilted it
and then set out in search of more.
Mrs. Schneider then took up the
tale. She said the pair had stumbled
into her bakeshop, demanding re
freshments and gaiety. On being told
that they couldn’t have either in her
bakery, they waxed argumentative.
In the midst of the argument, en
tered an underling of Mrs. Schnei
der’s bearing on a tray a dozen lemon
meringue pies, fresh from the oven.
Moylan and Mcßride, Mrs. Schnei
der averred, ceased their argument
and confiscated the pie tray. In an in
stant a fight of lemon meringue pies
were winging her way and perching
upon her.
“Not a one of them missed,” she
told the police tragically and, look
;ng at the condition of her costume,
they believed her.
Rugner then offered his chapter of
the epic tale. Into his saloon, he
said, had staggered two persons, talk
ing disjointedly of the explosive ef
fect of pie and demanding whisky
and lots of it.
“No Pie?” Then Glasses
“You ain’t got any pie?” one of
the pair is quoted as asking wist
fully when Rugner told them to
leave. Then while the saloonkeeper
crouched behind his bar the intrud
ers are said to have laid down a bar
rage of glasses on the trench and to
have continued to lay it until all the
glasses were gone. Then they are
said to have left after kicking out a
couple of window panes.
But in the street without they were
met by Mrs. Schneider, looking like
a squashed eclair and preaching a
holy war. About her custard-smear
ed self the stalwart Glendalers were
rallying for battle.
Mcßride and Moylan left with the
pack in full cry behind them. It took
all the persuasive powers of the de
tectives who captured them to pre
vent violence.

THURSDAY, MARCH 11, IftSO,
CLOVER IS ESSENTIAL CROP
FOR KEEPING SOIL FERTILE
Clover is the most important crop
on the fa?m for keeping up the land.
Old? Yes. But perhaps you re
member that once when the Queen
of France demanded something ab
solutely new in a frock the dress-1
maker replied, “There is nothing
new—except what has been forgot
ten.” Maybe the forage crops spe
cialist of the United States depart
ment of agriculture had just that
thought in mind when he made the
statement just quoted. Farmers
have been drifting away from clover.
Apparently, some of them have for
gotten the old truth for keeping the
land productive, and the clover story
needs to be told again.
Crops demand a soil containing
four things—organic matter, nitro
gen, potash, phosphoric acid.
Os these four essential things,
clover supplies two, organic matter
and nitrogen. It can not add phos
phorus or potash, but it can return
v.hat it takes out. The most im
portant point is that clover in the
crop rotation will supply the nitro
gen or most of it. Numerous demon
strations of that fact have been
made by state experiment stations.
Land on which clover is grown in
iotation with other crops makes bet
ter yields than land on which \io
< lover is grown. The specialists be
lieve that unless there is a more gen
eral return to clover productivity
W’ll certainly decline.
Be Sure Seed Is Right
Here are some of the things they
say about sowing clover this spring.
Clover seed is high—probably 60
cents a pound at retail. Do not plart
it unless you plant it right.
Have the seed tested. The stat
seed laboratory or the seed labora
tory of the United States department
of agriculture will do it. You can’t
afford to take a chance by not test
ing it.
Clover seed is most commonly
sown on winter wheat in the early
spring. This is ordinarily good prac
tice, but if the wheat field was left
rough in the fall the seed bed may
not be favorable and much seed
may be wasted. Clover needs a seed
bed that is firm below but fine and
loose on top. Use a drill when pos
sible. On loamy soil harrow the
seed in on the wheat, but do not at
tempt it when the land is wet.
If farmers would take as much
pains seeding clover as they do seed
ing alfalfa, there would be fewer clo
ver failures.
As a rule red clover will not do
well on land that is “sour” either
naturally or because it has been so
long cropped that the lime in the
soil has been used up. There are oc
casional exceptions. Clovqf has been
known to do well on land that had a
lime requirement of 1,400 pounds an
acre, but this land had been heavily
manured and fertilized. Usually clo
ver wants soil that is neutral or near
ly so. It is a safe statement that in
most cases where clover goes out or
fails to make a fail* crop two tons of
ground limestone an acre would help
a jfreat deal. In many cases lime
may have to be supplemented with
phosphoric acid or potash.' The use
of potash will" not be warraiited when
the price is as high as it is, except
in the rare case when this element
is decidedly the limiting factor. Lime,
howeve?, is fundamental. There is
generally no use seeding red clover
oh “sour” soil.
Use for Alslke Clover
If the farmer cannot lime and the
land is worn or “sour,” or if the land
