QUALITY Is OF IMPORTANCE
American Standard breeds Are Good
Producers OF Meat and Eggs-
Farm Hens Are Small.
From the United States Department of
Agriculture.)


(From the United States Department Of
Agriculture.)
Inasmuch as most farms have al
ready some supply of poultry, the
problem for the farmer is one Of in
crease and not, like that of the city
dweller who undertakes to keep hens
to supply his w table with eggs, one
of securing the foundation stock.
While the American standard breeds
are, for general purposes, the best, it
is not urged that they be made to
supplant other breeds where the 9TH
er breeds are established and where
they can be produced with a fair de-
gree Of success and of profit. The
American standard breeds, broadly
speaking, are the larger breeds Of
general-purpose. fowl, good producers
of both meat and eggs, as distinguished
from the small breeds that are spe.
cialized egg producers. Farmers and
farmers wives who have built up their
own flocks, and know the peculiari-
ties Of their breed and how to make
the most of them will do best by
keeping the hens that they have, even
though they be small and inferior as
meat producers, instead of trying to
replace them with heavier ones.

GRAIN GRADE APPEALS

If a farmer or dealer inter-
ested in a lot of wheat or corn
sold by grade in interstate COM
merce questions the grade as
signed, he can take an appeal or
dispute to the secretary of agri-
culture, who determines the true
grade.
To take an appeal he must no.
tify the federal district super
visor by telegraph, telephone or
mail, in advance of the arrival
of the grain in the market, of his
intention to appeal the inspec-
tors grade; or after the arrival
Of the grain, within 4S hours
after inspection. The name and
address OF the nearest federal
supervisor can be secured by
writing the bureau Of markets,
department of agriculture, Wash
ington.
A dispute is an appeal on an
interstate shipment of u%ninspect-
ed grain that moves between
points where nc licensed inspec-
tors are located and where the
grade has been. determined by
shipper or receiver. The method
of taking a dispute is the same
as in the case Of an appeal.
Farmers and dealers can take
} up all grain-grading questions
! by writing or visiting federal
grain supervision offices in the
. terminal markets.

Practices-War Necessitated
Some Changes.

From country elevators to the hold
Of q transatlantic liner wheat and
corn destined for the army and the al
lies and almost all of that arriving at
mills and terminal markets is handled
on grades fixed and applied under
federal supervision. The inspection of
wheat and shelled corn is under the
direction of the United States depart
nent of agriculture, with licensed in
spectors located at small markets, ter
minals or at the seaboard and the
standards in use are the same at all in
spection points. Before federal grades
were in effect there was little uni
formity in grain standards at the diff
ferent markets such as now exists
throughout the United States.
In the past grain was often graded
at country points on the basis Of an
average for the crop which placed the
best grain in lower grades than it de-
served. Now q grower Of the best
wheat receives a premium, even under
fixed prices, for his extra care in pro-
'ducing it. Thus federal standards pro-
vide premium grades for grain Of SUI
perior quality.
How Grades Were Made.
Before the passage of the United
States grain standards act complaints
were received from foreign buyers and
buyers of grain located outside the
grain-producing sections of the United
States, stating that grain purchased
frequently did not conform to the
grade specifications for which their
contracts called. For over ten years
rhe department of agriculture has
made a study of grain marketing and
grain grading practices throughout
the United States and in foreign trade,
obtained samples of many shipments,
and devised apparatus for the me-
chanical determination of grading fac
tors. Before the official grain stand
ards We're adopted they were submitted
to representatives of producers and to
the grain trade for suggestions and
criticisms, and the standards were de.
cided upon after all phases Of market.
ing were considered so that no single
interest would be favored at the ex'
pense Of any other interest.
Grades Revised for Wheat.
Because of the abnormal conditions
in the grain trade, due to the var ant
the resulting fixed prices for wheat
certain changes in wheat grades were
suggested. A series of five hearing!
were held during March Of this yea,
to receive suggestions from interested
persons on the proposed revision o
the official standards for wheat. Gu
Of these hearings and the practica
experience in supervising the applica
ton Of the standards the grades wer
revised to have effect July IS, 1915
The changes were all in the nature o
percentage Of grains other than wheat
increase in the amount of foreig
material present within each grade
and minor changes in definitions G
classes and grades. Increased percen'
ages of moisture were allowed in seN
eral grades, reduction in test weigh
per bushel was made in ONE il
stances, and more damaged and hea
damaged kernels allowed in SON
grades.

that the chick has when it starts in
life count for at least as much as good
conditions and good care
Also, in growing stock for layers, it
is especially important at this time
when a large increase in meat prod
acts is needed, to avoid breeding from
understood specimens. Whatever may
be the facts as to the relative value Of
large and small hens as layers, Is that
question relates to standard breeds,
the question rs irrelevant in this farm
poultry production campaign, for farm
hens are nearly all small according to
standards for improved breeds Of
fowls.
The ordinary arm flock contains a
large proportion of hens quite unfit
for breeding-having no quality which
it is desirable to reproduce. The eggs
from these should not be used for
Matching, but, as far Is possible, eggs
used for Matching should be from the
best hens in the flock. To determine
how many of these are needed, an es-
innate must be made, basing it upon
the usual hatchability Of eggs, and the
probable length Of the Matching sea-
son.
The ordinary average of matches
extending over q period of several
months is about 20 per cent. If all
the chicks are Matched early the
length of the Matching season is about
six weeks, from the setting of the first
to the setting Of the last hen used.
Allowing two weeks for saving eggs
before the first hens are set, the eggs
used for Matching must be laid within
eight weeks. Allowing for reflections
of small and defective eggs, provision
should be made for about 500 eggs in
eight weeks. This means a flock Of
Is to 20 hens as breeders. Such q
number of the best of the flock should
be separated from the rest.
AS a matter of convenience it will
probably be more satisfactory in most
cases to copfne the culls and give the
portion Of the farm flock used for
breeders the usual accommodations
and range. The culls may be shut in
small quarters without yard if neces.
sary, while that is not advisable for
breeding stock.
The next thing to consider is the
male. In many cases it will be to the
advantage of farmers undertaking to
increase and improve their locks to
buy standard males of general-purpose
breeds because Of the additional size
and weight such males will give the
chicks, to say nothing of the probable
increase in egg production. From one
or two pounds extra weight can be
nut on the chicks from ordinary farm
hens by using males of approximately
standard weight Of Rhode Island Reds
and Wyandottes, Plymouth Rocks and
OrpingtOns.

Indians Sent to Training School.
Sam Pete and John Sold, jr., the
Indian boys who burglarized Andrew
Jorgensen's store at Vineland, were
rounded up by Deputy Sheriff Tom
Yotten last Thursday and brought be-
fore Justice King in Princeton.
Through an interpreter, Maggie Shak-
.opee, they admitted their guilt and
were conveyed to St. Cloud for Judge
Roeser to mete out punishment. The
judge committed them to the state
training school at Red Wing and Tom
Yotten accompanied them to that in
stitution.
Andrew Jorgensen says the Indians
in the lake country constitute an
=abominable nuisance. A good way to
get rid Of them, he says, would be to
incarcerate them in an electrified
barbed wire corral and give them a
barrel of frewater, guns, ammunition
and knives, and they would do the rest.
They would wage a war Of extermina-
ton and soon transform one another

Haywood, said the charge of Judge
Lands was eminently fair and they

proving that the evidence must have
placed the guilt Of the accused beyond
the shadow Of doubt.

Prices for Threshing, Etc.

A complaint by two threshermen in
regard to the cutting of prices has
been referred to the threshing commit
tee. The price of six cents for barley
and oats and eight cents for rye and
wheat was set so that a good job of
threshing might be done without loss
to the thershermen themselves. Moth
ing can be done with those thresher-
men who cut prices and who still do
good work. There have been too many
cases in the past where machines have
been crowded and where sufficient
grain to pay several threshing bills
has been lost in the threshing.
The prices agreed upon were re-
ferred to the state threshing represen-
tative of the Federal food administra-
ton, who replied that they are fair
and not too high. The Federal food
demands good work in
threshing. Whatever price is asked
good work must be done. Information
regarding poor work should be i'm

members of the county threshing COM
