Aadrid-The note addressed to
Germany on the submarine question
By the Spanish government reviews

Isidoro. was torpedoed in August, 1915.
1t declares that the Spanish govern

constant practice Of submarines. and
that the cabinet also demanded the
observation OF the declaration OF Lon
don. notably Article SO. in which II b
maintained submarines violate by
abandoning the crews Of sunken ships
TO the mercy Of the waves far from
the land.
The note further recalls the vigor
Of the representations OF the Spanish
government, which, It says. sometimes
caused the Berlin government to be
surprised At tho radical attitude Of
Spain. whose protests, 1t Is hoped.
have been more energetic than those
OF any other neutral state. even the
United States. With regard to the
oontraband question the note says:
What the Spanish government
does not admit Is the central empires

which have always complained and
protested against such an interpreta-
tion.'
The note concludes with An an

THE NEW FEDERAL
GRAIN STANDARDS
Explained by Mr.. o. P. B. Jacobson
Railroad and Warehouse Com
missioner for Minnesota

Copies of the order of the United
promuIgating the Federal standards
of wheat grades, received recently
by the Minnesota Railroad and
Warehouse Commission, revealed
that the Federal officials, who pre-
pared the tentative rules, have
changed their views and have re-
vised the standards in several i'm
portant details. Had the original re-
concentrations of the Bureau Off
Gals been adopted they would have
caused much confusion in the grain
trade generally and would have re-
suited in a heavy financial loss to
the grain producers of the North
west. Even at the best there is
bound to be considerable trouble
and possibly much loss, as the new
Federal grades are more stringent
and more technical than the present
Minnesota grades, which have been
determined year by year in response
to the practical demands of COM
merce.
After insistent demands from the
grain interests of Minnesota, backed
by formal resolution of the Mime
sofa House of Representatives, the
Federal authorities have decided to
retain the term "NOrthern" in hard
spring wheat classes. Northern"
spring wheat is the standard of mill
ing wheats, and to have lost this
grade with prestige it has attained
in the grain markets Of the world
would have been a very serious blow
to the grain industry of Minnesota.
The Government also has modified
it's position with reference to the
maximum percentage of moisture
content of wheat. At the final hear
ing on the adoption of the Federal
standards, the Minnesota Railroad
and Warehouse Commission present
ed what it regards as unassailable
proof that wheat containing at least
l per cent more moisture than the
ative grades, would keep in a ware
houseabIe condition for at least a
year. The Federal grades do not
allow this additional 1 per cent, but
the maximum has been raised one
half Of one per cent in each grade,
so that the SIS and 81 pound wheats
of Minnesota and the Northwest may
contain 14.5 per cent moisture in
stead of IA per cent, and the lower
grades may have maximum mOis-
ture content Of 1916 instead of 15 per
cent, as proposed in the Federal tent
ative standards.
The Federal grades have been
further revised with reference to the
status of mixed wheat and the new
standards provide that all classes
may contain as high as 10 per cent
of other wheat without losing it's
Identification. For instance, North
ern spring wheat may contain 10
per cent of Durum and still retain
it's Northern grade. The rule relat-
ing to the percentage of inseparable
foreign material in wheat also has
been made less stringent.

A Profitable Business

Milan Standard: -Stensrud Bros,
breeders of pure bred Holstein-Fries-
ian dairy cattle, whose farm is To-
Gated near Watson, have decided to
dissolve partnership. Edward Stems
rud is going to remain at the old
home farm, but Hans Stensrud has
decided to look for larger fields to
conquer.
The brothers went into partner
ship four years ago. Their herd of
dairy cattle invoiced at that time,
March Is, 1913, $4,000.
They have since sold surplus stock
for about $1,000 year and their an
nual returns from the creamery have
been about $1,000 also.
They figure that the COWS in the
herd have each brought returns from
the creamery for more than 500 a
year.
The only cattle they have bought
during the four years that they have
been in business were two COWS and
a calf for which they paid $295.
Since January 1, 1917, they have
sold cattle as follows:

The secret of the success which
the Stensrud Bros. had, according to
a local authority, is in having been
most fortunate in the selection of
foundation stock. When a farmer
decides to go into pedigreed stock, he
should start right with his founda-
ton stock even tho it be more ex-
pensive for it is the foundation
stock which gives character to his
entire herd. The prices noted above
are exceptional, but they are excep-

was of the best.
