BEANS FOR FATTENING HOGS
Several Experiment Stations Have
Tested Soy Bean With Very
Satisfactory Results.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
AS a supplement to cornmeal for
growing and fattening pigs the Wis
conSin station found that ground soy
beans proved about 10 per cent su-
perior to wheat middlings, figuring the
cost of the feeds as the same. The In
diana station compared rations of two
parts of cornmeal and one part of
sOy-bean meal with cornmeal and
wheat middlings in equal proportions
and with five parts of cornmea1 and
one part Of tankage for pork prOduc-
ton. The sOy-bean ration produced
the largest daily gains, and this with
the smallest quantity OF feed con-
Sumed for each pound Of gain. The
Kansas station has tested the value
of soy-bean meal in combination with
cOrnmeal and with kafir meal in COM
parison with the two latter feeds
alone in feeding hogs. The feeds were
mixed in the proportion of four-fifths
corn or kafir and One-f1fth soy beans
Larger gains, varying from ID to 81
per cent, were made in every case on
the mixed ratiOnS than on corn or
kafir alone. The Missouri station in
comparative feeding trial of soy
bean meal with linseed meal and tank
age showed that the three feeds were
equally effective in promoting the
growth of young hogs.

Especial provision was made for the
solution of problems in behalf of agri-
culture, embracing marketing and rural
finance. The bureau of markets, unique
of its kind and excelling in range OF
activities and in financial support any
other similar existing organization
was created and is rendering effective
service in n great number of direc-
lions. Standards for staple agricul-
tural products were provided for and
have been announced and applied IN
der the terms of the cotton futures and
grain standards acts. Authority to IL
cense bonded warehouses which han
Gle certain agricultural products was
given to the department, and the indi-
cations are that, with the return Of
normal conditions, the operation of the
act will result in the better storing of
farm products, the sterilization of mar
keting processes, and the issuance of
more easily negotiable warehouse re-
ceipts.
''The agricultural extension machin-
cry, the greatest educational system
ever devised for men and women en-
gagged in their daily tasks, had very
large and striking development. The
federal aid road act, approved shortly
before this country entered the war,
resulted in legislation for more salts

many states and the systematic plan

the Union. Today each state has q
highway authority with the requisite
power and with adequate funds to
meet the requirements of the federal

1.-THE federal reserve act, which has
benefited every citizen through its in
fluence on banking throughout the
Union, included provisions especially
designed to assist the farming popu-
lation. 1t authorized national banks
10 lend money on farm mortgages, and
recognized the peculiar needs Of the
farmer by giving his paper a maturity
period Of six months.
''ThiS was followed by the federal
farm loan act, which created a bank
ing system reaching intimately into
the rural districts and operating on
terms suited to the farm owners

under the troubled conditions of the
world war, and its activities were i'm
peded by the vast changes incident to

OFFICIAL GRAIN
GRADE IS GIVEN
All That Is Necessary Is to SUB
nit Sample of Required Vol
ume in Prescribed Form.
WHEAT and CORN STANDARDS
Principal Benefit to Farmer Is That
He Gets Correct Grading by Disin-
terested Inspector as Basis
for Prices.

The farmer, the country buyer, the
miller, or anyone else may have sam
pies of wheat or SheIled corn inspected
and graded by grain inspectors IL
censed by the secretary of agriculture.
All that is necessary is to send a sam
pie of the required volume in the pre-
scribed form and to pay the inspection
fee.
No such service was ever rendered
until within the last few months. So
far official standards have been estab-
hshed for wheat and shelIed corn only.
Proposed grades have been published
for oats. and it is probable that Off
cial standards will be established for
the 1919 Oat crop.
Grading by Inspectors.
Grading is done only by grain in
spectors licensed by the secretary of
agriculture. The officers of federal
grain supervision, bureau of markets,
do not inspect and grade wheat OF
shelled corn except when an appeal
has been entertained on a grade as
signed by a licensed inspector, or
where a dispute as to uninspected
grain has been referred to the secre-
tary of agriculture.
The offices of the federal grain su-
pervision, however, may furnish the
names of the nearest inspectors with
advice as to taking and forwarding
samples, to persons who desire to have
samples inspected. There is no pre-
scribed fee for grading samples, but
the secretary has specified that fees
iI1ol ho
can be obtained from the nearest fed
eral grain inspector. The list of offices
is given in the accompanying box.
When grade is assigned on samples
submitted, the inspection certificate
covers only the sample. it being spe-
officially set out that such grading does
not apply to the entire lot from which
the sample was taken. Unless the in
spector himself or an official sampler
takes the sample from the lot of grain.
he is not permitted to certify further
than as to the sample submitted In
most cases of contemplated purchase
however, it probably happens that the
interested parties agree that the sam
pie is representative and that the grade
given shall apply to the entire lot of
wheat or shelled corn.
Size Of Samples.
The size of the sample submitted
and the manner of forwarding it are
important factors in enabling the in
SpectOrS to determine the correct
grade. The sample should be represen-
tative Of the entire lot of grain. 1t
should be at least two quarts in vol
ume. one and an eighth pints of which
should be placed in an alright con-
tainer and the balance enclosed in a
clean cloth sack. Samples sent IN pa
per bags, cigar boxes or other make
shift containers cannot be properly
graded.
The principal benefit to the farmer
is that he has a correct grading by a
disinterested inspector as a basis for
prices. The same advantage accrues
to the miller or dealer, with the addi-
tiOna1 feature of the check upon his
own grading if he has sought to es-
tablish the grade in accordance with
federal standards.

of the umbilical cord unless such pre-
cautions are taken. A piece of sur

the cord as close to the body of the
animal as possible. Then the sublf-
mate solution should be applied to the
pendulOus portion of the cord twice
daily until it drops off. The colt
should be born in a well-ighted and
