OFFICIAL Grain
GRADE IS GIVEN
All That Is Necessary Is to Sub
mil Sample of Required VOL
ume in Prescribed Form.
WHEATkND 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 shelled corn inspected
and graded by grain inspectors IL
censed by the secretary of agriculture.
All that is necessary is to send u 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-
lished for wheat and shelled 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 orn except when an appeal
has been entertained on q 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 SUI.
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
shall be reasonable. This information
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. It
should be at least two quarts in vol
unle, one and an eighth pints of which
should be placed in an air-tight 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 q
disinterested inspector as a basis for
prices. The same advantage accrues
to the miller or dealer, with the addi.
tional feature of the check upon his
own grading if he has sought to es.
tablish the grade in accordance with
fo6orol rdc

The Many Mysteries
of Nature
BY L. ". BOWER, M. D.

You can take an onion seed and a pansy
seed, and plant them side by side in the
same spot of ground. In one case, you
get an onion, with its peculiarly strong
odor, and in the other you get a flower of
rare beauty. You can plant a poppy seed
and get opium "a dangerous, habit-forming
drug, or you can plant a rhubarb seed and
get something that helps constipation. No
scientist, living or dead, can explain these
mysteries of Nature. Behind the invisible
life germ in each seed is hidden the deep
secret that nobody understands. Every.
thing growing out of the ground seems in.
tended for some use in establishing natural
conditions. DR.. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y,
long since found out what is naturally best
for women's diseases. He learned it oil
through treating thousands of cases. The
result of his studies was a medicine called
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. This
medicine is made of vegetable growths that
nature surely intended for backache, head
ache, weakening drains, ~bearing-down
pains, periodical irregularities, pelvic in
Examinations, and for the many disorders
common to women in all ages of life. DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription IL made of
lady's slipper root, black cohosh root, uni
corn root, blue cohosh root and Oregon
grape root. Women who take this stand
ard remedy know that in Dr.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription they are getting .
safe woman's tonic so good that druggists
everywhere sell it.
Favorite Prescription should have the
full confidence of every woman in America
because it contains no alcohol and no mar.
cotic. DR.. Pierce knew, when he first
made this standard medicine, that whisky
and morphine are injurious, and 50 he has
always kept them out of his remedies.
Send loo to Dr.. Pierce's Invalids' Hotel,
Buffalo. N. Y, for trial pkg. Of tablets.
