0rst-class shape. the farmer loses con-
idence in the buyer and regards him
as dishonest.
To Eliminate DlstrusE
These are conditions that should not
exist, and the bureau Of markets has
set about in a very practical way to
help eliminate them. II maintains
that in the marketing Of produce there
should be a common and uniform ba-
sis Of understanding. The various
kinds Of marketing produce should
be known by grades, and the specifI-
cations for any particular grade should
be the same everywhere. For example
potatoes Of No. 2 grade should be
No. 2 potatoes throughout the entire
country and not No. grade In GER
tain sections. And IL the farmer agrees
to ship No 2 potatoes they should con-
form to the specifications for that
grade. BY eliminating the confusion
resulting from particular grade OF
produce having one meaning to the
farmer and another to the buyer. a
foundation Of mutual understanding
is established.
That the use Of standard grades is
readily appreciated by producers and
buyers alike, was evidenced during the
war, when the food administration re-
quired licensed dealers to use potato
grades recommended by the bureau Of
markets. The results were so salts
factory that when the regulation was
Cancelled the use of potato grades, to
a large extent, was continued volun-
tariIy.

mended grades for potatoes. Bermuda

STORAGE OF FOOD PRODUCTS.
Cellar of House Should Hold Winters
Supply of Various Kinds of Fruit
and Vegetables.

Farm buildings usually offer ample
space for the storage of food products
raised on the farm. The cellar of the
house should hold winters supply
of potatoes, beets, carrots, onions, and
canned fruits and vegetables, as we'll
as such articles as a barrel of salt
pork, key of kraut, and jar of eggs in
water glass. The thrifty farmer faces
the winter season with a well-stoeked
cellar and with a store of dried fruits
and vegetables and possibly some jars
of apple butter in his attic.
Specially constructed root cellars, or
caves" may be found on some farms.
Potatoes and other vegetables are
sometimes carried over the winter in

--Darkened Stable Good.

The Importance of taking steps to
prevent the breeding of stable flies
rather than depending on protection
of the stock when the flies are full
growR cannot be emphasized too
much However. where this is not
done the farmer is forced to resort
to various means of warding of the
flies.
Work animals may be protected
largely from the pest by means of
coverings. One type of covering
which has been found to be very effec-
tive and inexpensive consists of a
blanket made of double thickness of
hnrlap, so arranged as to cover com
pleteiy the back sides, and neck of
the animal. The legs also are covered
sometimes by means of old trousers

be Impossible to get car lot quota
tions because very few or no cars are
sold intact by the original car lot re-
ceiver in that market to the local job
bers. hence there would be no basis
for actual sales upon which to report

markets, however, there is, fairly de-
fined jobbing trade which buys at the
prevailing jobbing price for the day.
Returns to a grower or shipper who
may have consigned shipment to a
commission merchant are usually made
on a basis of the jobbing price re-
ceived from which, of course, freight,
commission. and other expenses are
subtracted Hence shippers of con-
signed products are usually more in

much protection from the flies. al
though the resulting lack Of ventila-
ton is Objectionable. The thorough
screening of all windows and doors is
much more desirable. When screened
barns are used, care should be taken
to brush the flies from the animals,
when they are about to enter. by
means of nets over the doorway or
with sacks. Little can be done to
protect range stock from the flies.
On hog farms a freshly plowed
trench offers considerable protection
to the swine. The sides of these
trenches may be smeared with petro-
leum. which rubs off on the animals
and acts as a repellent. The trench
may be used also for protecting sheep,
but the petroleum in their case Is I'M
necessary.

differences in the manner in which
rules for grading are interpreted, and
because OF sharp practices. In fact.
many farmers have stated that nine
tenths OF the losses In the hay business
are due TO lack Of standard grades and
a uniform, impartial inspection service.
Not only does the use Of standard
grades result in better understanding
and confidence between producers and
buyers, but in greater satisfaction be-
cause of increased monetary returns.
Farmers everywhere are urged to con
duct their business of marketing upon
the sound business principle advocated
by the bureau of markets. The bureau
will be glad to advise anyone desiring
! the various grades 1t recommends.

Burglary is Not Profitable.

When one reads in the paper an ac-
count of a burglary where the thief
succeeded in securing $4,000 to $4,000
worth of jewelry, one is apt to think
chat the spoils were probably worth the
risk, but Investigation has shown that
thieves never realize anything like the
full value of their plumber. In Eng
land it was discovered that out of 46s
burglaries reported In various parts
OF the Kingdom the proceeds netted the
principals an average of about SIS
each. The value of the plumber was
many times that figure. In addition
to this. each one of the number had
been sent to jail for his crime.
