Rod, the we'll known Indian racehOrsc
man Of Fort Yates, will have a large
number of his fastest running horses
here and expects to take several purs-
es. Mr.. Connolly also states that
there will be number of running
horses brought here by the Indian
racehorse men from South Dakota
and from the Turtle Mountain reser.
walton at Belcourt, this state.
Exhibit Record Breakers.
The agriculture exhibits give every
promise of being the best this year
that have ever been exhibited at the
pavilion. The garden exhibits are
especially good and some have al.
ready been received. Mineral exhib.
its will also be here from the He.
bron Fire and Pressed Brick com.
pany, Dickinson Pressed Erick com.
pany, and the various coal mines
throughout the Slope will have sam.
pies of their best products here.
The stock exhibit department is
we'll filled, there being arrangements
made for many different kinds OF
stock. Miss Sofia Mikkelson Of Sweet
Briar has promised to enter some OF
her high class Jersey cattle; John
Dawson's famous Aberdeen Angus
black cattle will be here; hogs from
the best hog raisers on the Slope
will be on exhibition and valuable
horses of different breeds will also
be on show. Steve Tokash, Chester
White hog raiser, will have some Of
his registered hogs on exhibition.
Mr.. Tokash is firm believer in rails
ing good hogs and his exhibits are
sure to please all those who are in
terested in this department.
The poultry exhibit promises to be
very good, as we'll as the dairy exhib.
it.
New Practice Promised.
Not in accordance with former
years, it is practically assured by the
business men Of Mandan to close
their stores and places of business
every afternoon of the fair and make
a holiday season of the fair days.
They make practice of it every
where else and it has proved to the
benefit of the promoters Of the fair,
as larger crowds attend. =, Mr.. Connol.
ly advises that most of the bust
ness men have promised their CO.
operation in this respect and this is
as it should be.
Auto Show New Feature.
For the first time Mandan will
stage an automobile show at the fair
grounds this year. Concessions have
not been made for the grounds as yet
but will be tomorrow. Every auto.
mobile agent in Mandan and some
from Bismarck will have on exhibi.
tion the various makes of cars.
This feature has proven more than
successful at other places and will
no doubt prove equally as successful
here.
indians Will BE Here.
Secretary Connolly also reports
that the Indians, will be here for the
fair in full numbers. At least 600
will pitch. their, tents at the fair
grounds for the three days. They will
more than likely take part in the pro-
grams of each day. Their feats are
always entertaining and are an at.

Races of varied description, including
running, trotting, pacing, auto, mo-
torcycle and foot races will all be
staged. The noted relay races will
be held every day. Big auto show
will be staged and other attractions
too numerous to men ton will be in
store for the visitors who come to
Mandan to attend the best fair he
county or Slope has ever made effort
to stage.
over 20 Horses Here.
Secretary l.. H. Connolly OF the Fair
association states that never before
has there BEEN secured a better line
up of race horses. One horse which
has arrived from Valley City has a
pacing record Of 2:14, which is among
the very best in the country. Over
20 race horses are here, ready for the
big races. Many of these horses have
taken part in the Minnesota State fair
and North Dakota State fair races, as
we'll as those of other important fairs
in Montana and other neighboring
states, and all seem to have pulled"
money. J. P Reeves Of Beach, the Of
fetal starter of the MissOuri-YelloW-
stone circuit, will be present, and
will take charge of the local races,
and will also act as starter in each
track event.
In addition to the outside horses,
Mandan has some good race horses,
owned by Thomas Mccormick. Iron

By w. D. NICHOLS. Kentucky Agri-
cultural Experiment Station)
In past years the old style flaring
milk pail has been in use on the ma
jority of dairy farms. This pail gives
the maximum opportunity for foreign
matter to drop into the milk. Gig. 81
The essentials of sanitary milk pail
are first, that it shall be provided
with a small opening second, that all
seams and grooves shall be flushed
with solder to obliterate the crevices
which harbor bacteria; third, that pro-
vision be made for pouring out the
milk over an uncontaminated surface;
and, fourth, that the pail shall be of
proper height for convenience in milk
ing. A small opening in the milk pail
is necessary to reduce the chance for
dirt and other foreign material to get
into The milk. This opening should
be as small as possible without reduc-
ing its size to the point where 1t will
be unduly difficult to draw the milk
into 1t. From TIE standpoint Of clean
Illness the smaller the better. In prac-
tice it is not advisable to have the
opening smaller than six inches in
diameter. The flushing of the seams
of the pail prevents the Judgment of
curdy material and bacteria.

more, this seed Is of such shape and
size that it is difficult to separate it
from the wheat. The weed is widely
distributed over the United States and
is especially abundant in sections pro-
ducing soft red winter, spring and
durum wheat. Every farmer, there
fore, should strive to prevent its OBJ
tanning foothold on his farm.
Corn cookie seed is particularly OBJ
jectionable in wheat because it con-
tains poisonous element known as
saponin or sapotoxin.
OF the other impurities examined,
kinghead, sometimes known as great
ragwSed, is frequently found in wheat
in quantities as high as 8 or per
cent. Under such circumstances the
-four contains black specks and the
color and texture of the bread are
seriously affected. Even as small an
amount as per cent of kinghead seed
is noticeable in -four. Vetch seed also
alters the color of the flour, giving it
yellowish appearance as well as a
noticeable odor of vetch.
AS has already been stated, the
presence of any one of these impuri-
ties is very likely to reduce the price
the farmer receives for his wheat. Not
only is the price per bushel usually
less, but there may also be dock
age" charge. Dockage is trade term
for the amount deducted on account
of the presence Of foreign material
from the gross weight of the wheat.
For example, if a load of SO bushels OF
wheat is found to contain pounds of
foreign matter per bushel, 100 pounds
is deducted from the lot for "dockage.'
The owner is paid, not for so bushels,
but for SO bushels less 100 pounds, or
| 4S bushels and 20 pounds of wheat.
Meade County news. [volume] (Meade, Kan.) 1900-1918, 1916-02-24

(From Weekly News Letter, United States
Department of Agriculture.)
The results of recent tests by the
department indicate that the presence
in wheat of more than per cent of
what are known to millers as "insep-
arabic impurities" lessons the value
of the wheat for milling and baking
purposes. This fact has been recog-
nized in general commercial practice,
for wheat containing a noticeable
amount of impurities brings lower
price per bushel than other wheat.
The experiments conducted by the
department are discussed in detail in
Bulletin 32S. They included tests OF
the effect of rye, kinghead, corn cookie
and wild vetch seed in wheat in va
rious quantities. OF these substances,
rye occurs the most frequently, being
found in SO per cent of the samples OF
hard winter wheat examined by the
investigators and in SO per cent of the
spring wheat. In one instance farm
er's wheat crop contained 1913 per cent
of rye. On this account the farmer
received s cents less per bushel than
the normal price.
In regard to the quantity Of rye nee
essary to exert an injurious effect up
on the quality of wheat, there is
difference If opinion among millers.
Some believe that when the percen-
tage of rye 10 less than 5, the flour or
bread Is not noticeably affected, while
others have held that per cent is OBJ
jectionable. The government investi-
gators found that per cent or moro
of rye is sufficient to lower the quality
of the bread
In considerable percentage of the
wheat samples examined, the presence
of rye was said to be due probably to
the fact that the seed used in sowing
the wheat contained rye. 1t is not in
frequent for rye to scatter during har-
vest and to produce in this way vol
unteer crop. If wheat is sown on land
which was planted in rye the previous
season, this volunteer crop of rye is
harvested with the wheat. Partial
winterkilling of the wheat increases
the percentage of the rye, because the
latter grain is not so susceptible to
winterkilling as the former
Corn cookie, although less frequent
in wheat than rye, has more injuri-
Gus effect. The presence Of even 1
per cent of this weed seed in wheat
is likely to lower the price to the farm
er, and certainly lowers the baking
quality of the flour. Corn cookie is an
exceedingly prolific annual weed, a
single plant having been known to
yield as high as $500 seed. Further
