Steel Rail Deadlock Broken.

The announcement of the placing of

rails for 1908. The aggregate Of the
estimates is less than that of last year,

Gregory, S. D., Nov. Gas a result

GRAM DOCKAGE TO BE
oROBED; NEW SYSTEM


Washington, Nov. ~Exfscssaffef hts
Are .nder way at the Ls-eau &C grain
standardization In Washington, to es
sablish a mechanically perfect system
OF estimating the amount of "dockage,"'
or foreign matter, in grain. The ex-
perts in charge of the work admit
that thus far the experiments have
not Welded results of a satisfactory
nature; but 1t is believed a system
of mechanical separation OF wheat and
other grain from foreign seeds and
other extraneous matter will be found,
which will practically settle the
troublesome question OF dockage In
grain.
A number of machines are being used
in the experiments, combining the
principles Of wind separation. screen
separation and grading of the grain.
Many of these machines accomplish a
separation of the grain from its ae-
companying dirt" which is entirely
satisfactory for market work; but the
government experts declare hat a
mechanically perfect separation must
be attained before a standard can be
offered for the settlement Of dockage
disputes.
inaccurate Methods.
At present the amount of dockage
in grain is estimated by methods which
are admitted to be inaccurate. The in
spection departments of Minnesota.
ard one or two other states, have
eN wed systems which are as nearly
pee feet as possible, under present con-
diti; Srs; but in case of the frequent dis
putr over "dockage" allowances, there
is no mechanically perfect system by
which such questions can be sa~tisfac-
tcrily determined.
The Mount of dockaEe in grain Of
fered for sale at the various eX-
changes, elevators, mills and for ex-
port, varies greatly according to the
locality from which the grain comes.
In the northwestern wheat country the
dockase runs some times as high as
three or our pounds to the bushcl, the
farmer losing this much on the value
of the grain VIXEN it is offered Cor
sale.
Great Changes Possible.
The bureau of grain standardization
is contemplating another important
test, which may make great changes in
the present system of grain grading.
