Swiss CantOES.

Switzerland is a confederation OF
% cantons, three of which, Basel, APP
pencil and Unterwalden, are politi-
cally divided into half cantons each.
-Four are called forest cantons, namely.
Schwyz, Uri, Unterwalden and Luz
cerne. They were grouped about Lake
Lucerne. As Schwyz was the most
prominent in the war for freedom, and
members of the confederacy for indie
pendence were known in the outside
world as "Switzers." this canton ulti-
mately gave its name to the entire
league. Each canton has its own con-
stitution and local government and is
divided for administrative purposes
into districts. The districts are in
turn divided into communes. In near
ly all of the cantons the principle Of
the initiative and referendum is sue
cessfully applied. The Swiss cantons
are republics in miniature, having ex-
tensive power in local affairs.

his license may be suspended or re-
voked.
Practically all the grain from Min
nesota and North Dakota, and large
part of that from South Dakota, is
eventually shipped to either Mime
apolis or Duluth and it is there graded
by licensed inspectors With the ex-
ceptiOn of durum, practically all of
the wheat produced in the territory
mentioned is hard red spring This
kind of wheat is divided into three
subclasses or divisions, according to
the percentage of dark, hard and Wire
Gus (flinty) kernels. For bread-mak-
ing purposes it is generally believed
that flour from wheat containing a
large percentage of the dark, hard
and f1inty kernels is superior because
of its stronger, more elastic, and more
abundant gluten. This is the charac-
ter that has given the spring wheats
of the Northwest and the hard winter
wheats of certain sections of the
Southwest their enviable reputation in
the worlds market, and is responsible
for the almost universal premium
millers are willing to pay for these
wheats in normal times.
The subclasses for hard red spring
wheat are: Dark northern spring,
containing rs per cent or more dark,
hard and flinty kernels, and not more
than 10 per cent or less of humpback |;
northern spring, which contains less
than rs per cent and more than %
per cent dark, hard and flinty kernels,
and not more than 10 per cent or less
humpback; red spring, which contains
% per cent or less dark, hard and
f1inty kernels, or more than 10 per
cent humpback.
How Wheat Was Graded.
Of the LII cars of hard red spring
wheat received and inspected at Du-
luth during the last half of 1918, H.
GAG cars, or 35.1 per cent, were classed
as dark northern spring; 25,S97 cars.
or 62.1 per cent, were classed as north
ern spring; and 1,16S cars, or 2.S per
cent, were classed as red spring.
There are six grades numbered from
l to 5, the sixth being called the
sample grade. Of the hard red spring
wheat received at Duluth, 84.4 per cent
was placed in grade No. 1, and S.3 per
cent in grade No. 2, making more than
go per cent graded No. 2 or better.
For the same period 1922 cars were
inspected at Minneapolis, 71.9 per cent
of the cars being placed in grade No.
1, and 14.3 per cent in grade No. ..

A large percentage of the wheat de-

in the highest grades Of the federal
grain standards by grain inspectors

tween January 10, 1918. when the re-
vised federal grades became effective,
and December 81, 1918, more than 49,
600 cars of hard red spring wheat were
inspected at Duluth, of which nearly
85 per cent was placed in grade No. 1.
At Minneapolis nearly $4,000 cars

ager and not by a licensed inspector
of the federal government, because
few such inspectors are located at
country points. Unless the grain is
ground at the local mill, it is finally
shipped to a terminal market, where
it is graded by a disinterested in
spector who is licensed by the secre-
tary of agriculture. In deciding the
grade the inspector uses the grades
established by the United States de-
partment of agriculture, which are
often referred to as the federal grades.

In enforcing the grain standards act,

The department can not control the
country buyer or elevator man, nor
the miller who buys grain on the spot,
for such transactions usually are not

use federal grades, the grading is not
under the jurisdiction of the depart
ment. If they do not assign the grades
fairly and accurately, only the state
officials can reach them. The licensed
inspectors, however, are under the con-
troll of the department. Such inspect
ors are not allowed to continue to in

TIME TO CUT SUDAN GRASS
Best Plan to Wait Until Heads Have
Passed Out of Bloom and Before
Seeds Harden.

The best time TO cut Sudan grass for
hay is after the heads have passed out
Of bloom, but before the seeds have
begun TO harden. Sudan grass cut be-
fore this time contains a larger per-
centage of moisture and a lower per
centage of food material and is harder
to cure. Sudan grass cut after this
TIME is more woody and less paIatable.

in It? After all the world wants re-

supplies 1t with what it wants. To act
a part, or to claim what is truly yours
may bring temporary success, but the
deceit is paying too much for the whis-

smart you won't have to stOop to de-

If the chicken must be confined on
account Of bad weather. provide a good
straw litter in which their grain feed
may be scattered. This will give them
exercise and keep them interested and
healthy. When chickens that have been
accustomed to free range are closely
confined this frequently checks their
development for the time being unless
they are made contented in their new
quarters. Provide green feed for them

Center Shot at Socialism.

The difficulty with socialism is that
if you follow the doctrine to its logical
conclusion you arrive at Bolshevik-
ism. You cannot draw the line, eX
cepting only that at which the Social
list wishes to put his theories into
practice There he comes to a point
in which the conflict with the present
system of social organization com
mences. The logicans of the Social
lists shrink back, appalled, at the pros
pect before them, while the unthinkins
and illogical members of that party
rush on to absurdity. Hence splits
that divide the Socialist party and
will forever divide them. Because of
this there can never be reasonable or
logical leaders among extreme Social
lists. There can only be cunning, cruel
and INSCRIPTIONS politicians, utterly
without conscience, or the most or
dinarv of human sentiments Lenine
and Trotsky are horrors rivaling the
Gar and the Kaiser at their worst.
