ESTIMATING WHEAT VALUE.
Method is Shown in North. Dakot
AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE Bulletin,

Method is Shown in North. Dakota
Agricultural College Bulletin.
Wheat Is used for making flour
and some feed is secured as a by
product 1t would seem plain that
the value of the -four and feed
should be the basis in setting a
price on the wheat. How far this
comes from being the case is
brought out by Z. F. Laid and
Thomas Sanderson, in Bulletin II,
Vol 4. North Dakota Agricultural
college.
The data for the years 1911 to
1916 shows that when the grades
were mixed the difference between
the value of the mill products and
the market price OF the wheat was
A per cent greater than was the
case when No. ] Northern was mill
ed alone. In 1916 this difference was
28S per cent, which shows the varia-
tion between the value of the mill
products and the prices paid for the
wheat according to the system Of
grading used.
In general the milling industry
figures the cost OF -four on the basis
of No. / Northern wheat, but 1t uses
all 1t can OF the lower grades and
keep up the quality of the -four. The
cost of the -four Is reduced in pro-
portion to the amount of the lower
grades used. This becomes as shown
above an added profit. And it also
follows that lie the price paid for No.
/ Northern Is fair, the prices paid
for the lower grades of wheat are
too low.

SAYS NAPLES SHOULD
ADD TO SUGAR SUPPLY
Minnesota Professor Gives Directions
for Extracting Sap From Tree
Finest sugar, He Says,
CIV Associated Press. J

Minneapolis, Mimi. Jan. 2S.-Thou-
sands of naples in the hardwood
groves of Minnesota should be a
means of adding to the country's
sugar supply, according to r. w.
Thatcher, dean OF the department of
agriculture at the University of Min
nesota. In a statement made recent
ly he points to the serious shortage
of sugar as an argument for the use
OF the sap of the maple.
Every available tree should be
tapped as soon as the sap begins to
flow in the spring, he sat0. Directions
he gave follow:
If the sap is boiled down until il
shows a temperature of 2l9 degrees,
the syrup when cool will weigh eley-
en- pounds to the gallon, and will not
gram on standing. This is the best
strength for maple syrup. If sugar is
desired, continue the boiling until the
temperature is 234 degrees, If soft or
tub. sugar is desired, or $40 degrees
il hard cake sugar is preferred.
AT these temperatures, remove
from the fire, and stir vigorously and
continuously until the sugar grains,
and a supply of the finest sugar
known will be obtained Such sugar
sells for from rs to 80 cents per
pound"

BRONZE PAINT IS NOT
BEST FOR RADIATORS

Bronze paint reduces the heating
effects of a radiator about one fourth
as compared to lead paints, japan or
enamel. In tests at the University
OF MiChfgani it was found that in
comparing the heating effects of
radiators not painted and those
painted with bronze, aluminium, lead
paint, japan and enamel that the
radiators not painted and those
painted with lead paint, japan and
enamel had about the same heating
effect but the radiators covered with
the bronze and the aluminium paints
had about % per cent less heating
effect. That is the aluminium and
the bronze paint reduced the amount
Of heat that the radiator could give
off. 1t was also found that it is the
last coat of paint that increases the
radiation so that If bronze paint is
put on over the other paint the
heating effect is reduced one fourth.
While If bronze paint is covered with
the other paint then the heating eff
feet of the radiator is brought up to
normal.
If a radiator covered with bronze
paint is not heating a room suffi-
GENTLY, a covering with lead paint.
japan or enamel will increase its
heating effect One-fourth to one
third or will be equivalent to i'm
Creasing the heating surface one
third to one-fOurth or it will make
three radiators give off about as
much heat as four radiators covered
with bronze or aluminium. T.. S.

, this fact, production has outstripped
consumption, and Ignite is acCum-
uiating at the mines in a valuable
reserve supply sufficient for any
probable emergency.
Miners Earn Good Pay.
While the cost OF labor and sup
plies which enter into mining have
increased about 100 per cent, the
federal fuel administration has fixed
the price of North Dakota Ignite at
the mine at $3.50 the ton for screen
ed lump coal. This price Is lower in
some instances than the rate obtain
ing before the war, but every mine
operator in North Dakota has cheer
fully accepted this regulation, with
the provisO that where mines are not
located on railroad spurs. the cost
Of hauling to the cars may be added
TO the original price. Ignite miners
are earning all the way from IS the
day 10 S25 the day. The last-named
maximum was recently earned in a
single day by a miner employed at
Bitumina A fair average for Ignite
miners at the present rate Of wages
is 81 the day The work is not UNI
pleasant, and is far safer than min
ing in the middle western and east
eTn districts Casualties in the
Ignite industry are rare.
$3.50 Ton At Bismarck.
Ignite coal is delivered to dOmes-
tic consumers bins in Bismarck for
$3.50 the ton, and during average
winter weather the ordinary house
hold will consume a ton a week. IT
therefore becomes by far the most
economical fuel which can be used
in North Dakota, and there is the
further advantage in its favor that
every dollar paid for Ignite remains
in the state, the biggest percentage
Of it going to the miners who dig the
coal. Ignite in Fargo and other
Red River valley points should cost
from $1.25 to $500 more than in
Bismarck, the cost Of hauling from
the central Ignite fields being add
ed. North Dakota has a very favor
able Ignite rate, established with
a view to building up this industry.
A Satisfactory Fuel.
Ignite may be burned in any
furnace built to consume either an
thracite or bituminous coal, and II
crushed II may be used satisfactorily
in base burners. There is little free
gas and practically no sulphur In the
native fuel. It is practically soOtless,

the use of Ignite has been largely

to obtain anthracite and bituminour

seed for the garden at once. The
early orders may be the OnlyN ones
filled this year.
Seeds sown at this time of year
require careful watching. Do not
plant more than can be well taken
care of and transplanted at the right
time.
Cut out old wood and thin the new
growth of currants and goOseberries
when the snow goes off. Too much
brush and no cultivation makes small
berries.

Northwest Rich In
Timber
Enough Lumber to Build a Bungalow

for Every Person in the World.
Edward Mott Woclley in McClure's
Magazine: In the Pacific northwest
stand II trillion feet Of timber. A
Seattle contractor tells me that this
would build a bungalow for every
man, woman and child in the nation.
Up on the North Pacific coast are
so million acres of forests. 1t is esti-
mated that the state of Washington
alone has about 400 billion feet of
standing fir, cedar, pine, spruce and
hemloCk. In Oregon and Idaho there
are 700 billion feet. In 1915 the dis
tribution of Washington lumber by
ocean carriers was nearly 900 mill
lion feet.
/ cannot make a fair estimate of
the money that lumber brings to the
Puget Sound country in year. /
might guess it at several hundred
million dollars. have seen it esti-
mated that the Washington lumber
and shingles shipped by rail alone
are worth so millions. Lumber last
year represented SIS per cent Of the
tonnage furnished Washington rail-
roads, OF the wage earners in
Washington and Oregon more than
so per cent are engaged in numbering
operations. Wages paid in Washing
ton and Oregon for work connected
with lumber stand for So per cent Of
the total. Some mills have an out
put of $50 million feet a year.
The evolution Of the Pacific coast
lumber industry has been in keeping
with the general development. Giant
now handles both the logs
and lumber. Steam I0ggers and
slIidders do heroic work in the
woods, and steel cables lower the
big logs down perpendicular noun
tain slopes. / heard Of an ocean go
