GRAIN INSPECTION.

Seattle, Wash, Oct. Z, 1925.
To the Editor: The last session OF our
legislature passed a law providing for en-
spection and weighing Of grain" which is
working a great hardship upon the far
mers and consumers OF Puget sound. This
law was evidently intended 10 prevent
shipments of inferior grades OF grain TO
foreign markets. and 10 designate the
grade of grim shipped. and thus keep UP
the standard of our products I'm such mar
kets: also 10 avoid arbitrary inspection by
the exporters. Insofar as its application
- foreign shipments s concerned, the law
may, or may not be wise one. But to
tax all local deliveries Of grain for local
use. Is an outrage and utterly indefensibie
this is being done. For instance. IL a
Seattle man buys ton Of oats from a
farmer. the cost Of transportation by
steamer will he from 50 cents to 81, the
cost of inspection 20 cents. The farmers
have been, and are now. suffering from
extremely low prices. oats, the chief pro-
duct of the Puget sound region, being
worth only about $40 per ton on the farms.
The cost of inspection must be borne by
the farmer or consumer. or divided be-
tween them. What possible good can such
inspection do in the local markets2 The
cost of inspection alone for oats shipped
10 Seattle this season will run into tho
hundreds and perhaps thousands OF dollars
money thrown away. and taken from
those who can least afford u lose r. This
law should be repealed, or at least amend
ed. 50 not TO apply TO shipments for local
use; II rightly construed II does 81 apply.
in the meantime test case might rem
edv the situation. otherwise the only solu-
ton seems 10 be TO have the grain landed
Just outside the city limits and hauled 10
town by the farmers in wagons; in such
case. under the law. no inspection IS neces-
ssry. Seattle. by reason Of its larger pop-
ulation. and being the chief market in the
state. suffers much more than Tacoma or
Spokane: and these three places are the
only towns in which inspection Ia required
by law. Al effort should he made by the
Chamber of Commerce or some other rep
resentative body 10 remedy this evil

Chicken Cholera.

Many readers who write to us state
that their fowls have cholera. The
fact Is that, instead Of the cholera being
a common disease, It Is very rare.
Nearly all cases of bowel disease are
denomlnated as cholera because Of the
supposltion that 1t il liable to occur at
any time. When the hens begin to
die from the attacks Of lice the cause Is
attributed to cholera.
Here are the sure signs Of cholera.
First, the hens have an Intense thirst,
aud drink nearly all the time. second,
they get well or die within thlrty-six
hours, aud AS a rule, much sooner.
There is no changing on" Of the dis
ease. IL makes short work aud leaves
nearly all dead almost by the time II
appears. Most Of the cases Of supposed
cholera are due to oveTfeeding, the
fowls being In an oyerfaf condition, and
desiring change OF food, especially
when grain is largely used, the real
cause being indigestion. The remedy
Is to make a complete change of food,
allowing only one meal a day. For
medicine, give twenty drops OF tincture
of nux vOmica In every quart of drlhk-
Ing water for week
