Coloring materials used in teas are
scheduled for examination, as well as
vegetable coloring matter and coal
tar dyes used in foods. Vanilla ex-
tract, an article well known to the
American housewife, will be called on
to disclose it's secrets. The bureau
will endeavor to determine the rela-
ton of cornmeal to the dread disease
of pellagra.
Sleuthing the American egg, from
the hen to the consumer, is one of the
interesting detective jobs laid out.
This will develop from an attempt to
get facts regarding the transportation
of perishable products. Using the bu-
reau's Omaha laboratory as a center
and working in connection with three
commercial establishments, the bu-
reau will begin study of the hand
ling of frozen and dried eggs during
what is known as the egg-breaking
season. When the egg breaking sea-
son ends it is planned to follow the
products, frozen or dried, to the bak-
ers, cooperating with the latter in
studying the routine to which the
products are subjected and their rate
of deterioration after thawing or dis
solving.
Sugar, sirup and maple sap investi-
cations are on the bureaus list. par
ticularly study of the effect on ma
pie sap of the metal containers in
which it is commonly supplied to the
public.
One of the most interesting studies
of the bureau will concern the meth
ods of making bread in the principal
cities of the country and an investiga-
ton of the value of different wheats
for milling and baking purposes. The
bureau also purposes to find out some
thing about macaroni and the us of
coloring matter in connection with
it's manufacture.
While foods for human beings come
first in Importance, the welfare of
domestic animals is not entirely for
gotten. The bureau will make an ex-
tensive study of cattle and poultry
foods, with an investigation of range
forage crops.

STANDARD WEIGHTS
FOR PRECIOUS STONES
Metric Carat of 200 Milligrams Is the
Standard Adopted by the United
States Government.

Washington, d. c.. Dec. I'm cir
cular recently issued by the bureau of
standards, department OF commerce, an
nouncement is made Of the recognition
by the bureau after July |, 1913, of the
metric carat of 200 milligrams as the
standard OF weight Tor diamonds and
other precious stones, and this standard
will be used in the eertifcation of all
carat weights submitted to the govern
ment for certifcation after that date
The treasury department also adopted
this standard on the same date for use
in the customs service in leyying the
duties on gems. The change from the
former uncertain and indefinite carat
weight, usually equal to about 2053
milligrams, to the definite and simpler
metric carat was made possible by the
loint action of all the large dealers in
diamonds, pearls, and other precious
stones, who, realizing the chaotic condi-
ton due to the various weights used as
a carat, decided upon the metric carat
as the solution of the difficulty and
agreed to put its use into effect on the
same date. Until recently nearly every
civilized country of the world has used
a different standard of weight for dia-
monds, the article above all upon which
there should be the best agreement as
to the unit of weight because of the
great value of the commodity. Recent
ly, the movement for uniformity in the
standard rapidly gained ground; and
Spain, Italy, Bulgaria, Denmark, Nor
way, Japan, Portugal, Roumania, Swift
erland, Sweden, France, Germany, Hol-
NJ nd Ralu L.. fas,
States are in the list OF those countries
which now use the new international
STANDARD. England is the only country
of Importance in which the change has
not been made, but considerable progress
toward that end has been made even in
that country.
Circular No. 43, Just issued by the
bureau of standards, gives complete ia
bles by which weights in the old carats
can be determined in terms of the new
unit and vice versa. Examples are Civ
EN- of the method of usiHg the tables
so that one may determine the weight
of diamond in terms of the new carat
If the weight in the old units is known.
For example, the famous Cullinan dia-
mond which, uncut, weighed 2,02dA old
is found by these tables to be
equal to 2,07s.4l new metric carats.
The circular also calls attention to
the need of more accurate weighing of
precious stones because of their great
value and especially of greater care of
the balances and weights used for the
purpose. Weights used in determining
the size of diamonds should be of such
that they cannot be easily
altered without its being at once evil
dent, and having once been standardized
or sealed, every precaution should be
taken to preserve the integrity of the
weights. The circular will be of spe-
rial value to jewelers. and dealers in
precious stones in that they can, by
means of its tables, establish the weight |
Of the gems they have in stock in the
new unit from the old weights and they |
will be guided by the circular in the

unit.

THE BUSINESS

HoTBED MAKING
Where the Fancy Prices Come From.
BY II. w. DOYLE,

Department of Agriculture, Kansas.
A hotbed should be placed in we'll
drained position, sheltered from cold
north and west winds by hill, hedge or
building.
Most hotbeds are heated from below
by fermenting manure in pits. Dig the
pit before ground freezes about eighteen
inches deep or thirty inches in colder eli
mates, and make it the same size as the
frame which is put over it.
While cement and brick are substan-
tial, the frames of most hotbeds are
made of lumber. Nail well-painted two
inch planks to four heavy corner posts,
which should reach from top of frame to
bottom of pit. The frame should be
built to accommodate one or more stan
dard SASH which are 3 by feet.
Slope bed toward south to give max
imum of sunshine and shed the rain.
Extend north side of frame fifteen inches
above ground and the south side about
six inches. Give necessary slant by saw
ing board in two on bias and putting
the pieces one on each end of frame.
Mortise 2 by 3-inch crossbars, with half
inch strip down the middle, into sides
of frame to allow sash to rest and slide
on and to brace the frame. Make all
joints fit snugly, leaving no holes or
crevices to admit cold air.
Good sash can be bought as cheaply as
they can be made at home. Insist on
the best material-cypress, cedar or
white pine, blind mortised, all joints
white loaded or painted, strong and well
braced. The glass should be 10 by IL

HOPPER FEEDING POULTRY SAFEST
1t Saves Time, and Time Is Money.
By E. X. PARKINSON.
Farm Management Exper

By E. X. PARKINSON.
Farm Management Expert
The two principal objects of hopper
feeding are to save time and avoid up
setting the digestion of fowls from care
less feeding.
On large commercial plants-in fact,
on any farm where poultry are kept in
considerable numbers--time is money
and must be saved, so by degrees the
hopper has come to be used universally.
The usual materials are fed in it, but
mixed in bulk and put into )ppers dry
in sufficient quantities to last several
days. There are some who object to
hoppers, fearing they attract rats, mice,
sparrows, etc, and that fowls eat less
freely of dry mash and consequently do
not lay as well. The first of these objec-
tons is overcome by using metal hop
pers with lids. They may be purchased
from any poultry supply house. The sec
ond objection is true, but the slight loss
of eggs is offset by saving in the time
spent in feeding.
There are, of course, those who have
made great success with poultry feeding
cooked mashes, and in such cases it is
inadvisable to change. But where feed
ing is done by hired man, who is apt
to be careless in keeping feed troughs
clean, and well scalded or allowing the
mash to stand until sour, so upsetting
the digestion of entire focks and causing
loss in the egg yield, the change to the
hopper method will prove beneficial.
For those who think of changing from
the old to the new method, perhaps a
few of the dry mash mixtures used by
successful poultry breeders may prove
helpful. A well-tried one consists of
coarse wheat bran, 200 pounds; corn.
meal, 100 pounds; ground oats, 100
pounds; gluten meal, 100 pounds; mid
dlings, rs pounds; feeding -four, 25
pounds; fine beef scraps, 80 pounds, and
fish scrap, 30 pounds. For Leghorns, the
following has been found good: Corn.
meal, 60 pounds; wheat middlings, go
pounds; wheat bran, 30 pounds; alfalfa
meal, 10 pounds; oilmeal, 10 pounds;
beef scrap, so pounds; and table salt, 10
pounds. The Maine experiment station
recommends wheat bran, 200 pounds;
eornmeal, 100 pounds; middlings, 100
pounds; gluten meal, 100 pounds; linseed
meal, 100 pounds; beef scrap, 100
pounds. A breeder of Plymouth Rocks
has had good results from the following.
Wheat bran, 200 pounds; wheat mid
dlings, 100 pounds; cornmeal, 100
pounds; gluten meal, 100 pounds, and
beef scrap, 100 pounds. Every other
month, fifty pounds of linseed meal are
added.

The Father of the "Safety First" Move-
ment.

The Father of the safety First" Move
ment.
In the Interesting People" departs
ment of the December American Maga-
zine appears an article about Ralph c.
Richards, railroad claim agent who has
taught his company-the Chicago q
Northwestern Railway-to prevent ac-
cidents by the simple expedient of taking
pains. Safety First" is his slogan. Mr..
Richards has drilled thousands of en-
ployes into habits of safety in their
work Following is an extract from the
article:
"This sounds easy in the telling, but
il required perfect faith on Mr.. Rich
ards part that in this way he would
eventually save lives and limbs, sorrow
and suffering. The patience of Job was
necessary At first the men for whose
benefit It was established looked with
suspicion on the safety organization,
thinking that it was some new method
to shift the burden of accidents from the
company to the men. Mr.. Richards met
with much opposition, but he still
worked on, and through the work of his
committees and the employees generally,
in twenty eight months he was able to
show reduction of 179 deaths, or 22A
per cent, and of 8,447 injuries, or ~ 3-5
per cent. To-day there are few men on
Mr.. Richards line who are not boosters
for safety.
"When one realizes that 10000 people
were killed and 10000 injured on the
railroads of the United States during
the past year, it is possible to see the
field for a safety organization. So when
Mr.. Richards proved that his safety first
idea was success, in that it saved many
lives and prevented countless injuries,
the other roads of the country, for
humanitarian as well as economic
reasons, began adopting it. To-day
there are safety organizations on rail.
roads which represent more than half
the mileage of the United States; there
are safety organizations in Canada; and
a while ago Mr. Richards received let
ter from the Imperial Japanese railways
with a request for information, in order
that such system might be used on
the railways of Japan.
"The underlying cause for Mr.. Rich
ards success in his great work is found
in his broad, honest sympathy and real
for his fellow men. The man
himself is tall, a little inclined to
heaviness, smooth-shaven, and shows in
his face the marks of character engraved
by unremitting work in the furtherance
of great purpose. When you look al
him you know what every man under
him or associated with him will bear evil
dence to--that he is man to whom
you can go with your troubles and re-
ceive understanding, sympathy, and help.
But with all his fund of sympathy he is
no dreamer; he is practical, hard-headed,
and efiicient-a typical American rail-
road man."
