Letters from the grain trade have
again been addressed to the Bureau
of markets, United States Department
of Agriculture, complaining that 10
punishment other than publication of
findings is melted out to violators Of
Section of the United States Grain
Standards Act This section pre-
vides:
THAT no person, except as permit
ted in Section 4, shall represent that
any grain be shipped or delivered for
shipment in interstate or foreign
commerce is of a grade fixed in the
official grain standards other than
as shown by a certificate therefore
issued in compliance with this Act.
| Whenever, after opportunity
for hearing is given to the owner
or shipper of the grain involved, AMI
to the inspector thereof if the same
has been inspected, it is determined
by the Secretary that any quantity of
grain has been incorrectly certified
to conform to a specified grade, or
has been sold, offered for sale, or
consigned for sale under any name,
description, or designation which is
false or misleading, he may publish
his findings"
What good is accomplished in find
ing violators guilty, if nothing further
is done?" asks the compliments.
The penalty described in the Grain
Standards Act for violations of sec
ton 5 is merely the publication of
the findings of the Secretary of Agri-
culture. No provision is made for
criminal prosecution for violations of
this section; the Department of Ag1l-
culture therefore, cannot take action
beyond the publication of findings.
a Violations of other sections of the
Grain Standards Act carry penalty
of fine not exceeding $1,000, or
Imprisonment not exceeding one year,
or both. Violations of Section 4 are
in the class punishable by fine or I'M
prisonment. This section requires
that persons shipping or delivering
for shipment, in interstate or foreign
commerce, grain for which standards
have been established and which is
sold by grade, shall have the grain
inspected and graded by licensed in
spector
1t is felt that in some cases the
publication of findings by the De-
APARTMENT of Agriculture, and the
bringing of these findings to the at
Itention of the grain trade, serve as q
greater penalty to violators of Sec
ton 5 than a criminal prosecution
under a provision carrying fine or i'm
prisonment, especially in cases where
only nominal fine may be imposed.
This theory is not universally agreed
Ito, as evidenced by expressions from
grain dealers favoring more drastic
action in cases of fragrant violations
of Section which involve fraud and
deception. Under the present pro-
visions of the Grain Standards Act,
however, it is not possible for the de-
partment to take action beyond the
publication of findings.

The most important result of cook

bit of bacon in it's raw state is not
very appetizing, but put several slices

some bread the correct way, make
coffee in a percolator and you have
an appetizing breakfast fit for the
gods. Then, best of all, it has been
prepared right at table with no SCOT,
smoke or dust or ashes, without any
of the by-products of combustion.
The portability of the electric grill
is an important item What a pleas
ant thing it is nowadays to prepare
a meal wherever it is wanted, instead
of always in the kitchen. With an
electric grill and convenient outlet a
hostess may have her Sunday evening
tea in the dining room, in the den OF
a cosy corner of the sun parlor. She
can make it a jolly little feast, whet-
ting the appetite with savory whiffs
of food cooked in the cleanest way,
with the cleanest kind of heat.

Butter
is Denied Entry

Several shipments of butter offered
for entry into the United States from
foreign countries have been denied
entry because the butter failed to
come up to the requirements of the
Federal Food and Drugs Act, accord.
ing to officials of the Bureau of
Chemistry, United States Department
of Agriculture. The imported butter
has to meet the same standards anil
tests as the domestic product. The
majority of the shipments which were
refused entry contained too little but
ter fat and too much salt and water,
but a few contained boric acid, a
harmful preservative.
More butter came into the United
States last year than during any other
single year for the last ten years.
The quantity of butter exported from
the United States was also larger
than normal and more than three
times as much as the imports. The
total imports of butter and butter
substitutes for the year 1919 amount
ed to 9,519,368 pounds; the exports
of butter for the same period were
34,556,4S5 pounds.
The greater part of the butter i'm
ported into the United States now
comes from Canada, but shipments
come also from Denmark, Australia,
Argentina, and New Zealan. Of 300
shipments of butter from Canada eX-
amined, 39, or a little more than 10
per cent of those examined, were
denied entry into the United States.
A few shipments from other countries
also were not admitted because they
were adulterated under the Food and
Drugs Act.
Shipments of imported butter arc
carefully inspected at the ports of
enry and only such butter is admit
ted, say the officials in charge Of thf
enforcement of the Food and Drugs
Act, as meet the standard which the
domestic product is required to meet.

Men Were First
to Wear Skirts

The cutaway coat worn by men of
the present generation is about the
last remnant of the skirt age to which
men originally belonged, according
to Mrs Batrice Forbes Robertson
Hole, a noted English woman, who
seeks to disabuse tse minds of women
of the belief that the skirt is woman's
by right of inheritance and to show
that they can wear bifurcated out
door garments in season if they de-
sire.
"All the kings, mayors, priests, etc,
used to wear draperies," says Mrs.
Hale. "The cutaway coat is about the
last remnant of the skirt age for men
and the remaining cylindrical frock
coat is the last vintage of the smock
which was worn by peasants.

Every housewife knows what it is
TO prepare a nice dinner, to serve
it tastefully and to enjoy the keen
pleasure of those who partake. She
also knows the problem of dishwash
ing to be faced when the feast is
over and she must retire to the
kitchen while the family and the in
vited guests go to the parlor. There
is first of all the objection to putting
ones hands inc hot, greasy dishwater,
of wrestling with pots and pans.
With an electric dishwasher the
whole unpleasant operation is put
upon an efficient basis, the dishes
washed easily and quickly, breakage
reduced to a minimum. Think of
washing dishes with clean SPRAY
Of soapy water instead of the family
dish rag. Do you realize how IN
sanitary it is? How strange it is that
sanitation did not long ago seek out
the raggedy old dishrag and the dish
pan as subjects of correction.
The electric stove is no novelty in
the kitchens of the West while in
the East it is gaining ground year by
year, especially small stoves or cook
ers that permit oven baking and the
use of at least two hot plates on
top. Such stove benefits the house
wife in the following manner: First
there is no waste heat; therefore
absolute cleanliness is possible at all
times. Third, labor is reduced to .
minimum because an electric stove is
always ready. Fourth. with no fans
there is safety. Fifth, the character
of the stove permits more time for
social duties.

Drying Brushes
in a Hurry

Travelling statesmen and actors, when
they have occasion to use their tooth
or shaving brushes, generally have to
put them away wet in order to catch
a train. This is annoying, because
the brushes not only wet other things
in the travelling bag, but they become
sour as well. In order to dry them in
a few minutes, tie a strong piece OF
string on the handle of the brush
about two feet long, take the other
end of the string in your hand and
swirl the brush rapidly around in
the air for a minute or two. The
water will fly from the brush by cen
trifugal force and it will be prac-
tically dry as punk.

How to Save'Coal

Although a coal fire always burns
better, especially at the start, when
lighted from the bottom, it has been
found to be much more economical of
coal if the paper and kindling wood
are placed above the coal, says Popu-
lar Mechanics. A few small Goals
and cinders are spread over the top
of the kindling wood to enable the
coal fire to be started After the top
layer begins to burn properly, the
fire will spread solwly downward. If
the air draft is right This method
secures the most complete combustion
because the gases from the unburned
coal at the bottom must pass through
the burning layer at the top, and
thus become completely burned. Is
is admittedly harder to build and con-
troll this kind of fire, but the saving
IN fuel often justifies the extra trouble,

The Tractor is Not Destined to
DlSplace the Farm and Truck Horse
Department OF Agriculture Statistics Show $21 100000 in
Rural Districts January 1st 1920

The horse is coming back in LAST
struggle to hold his place against the
progress of the automobile, tractor,
truck and airplane. The Department
OF Agriculture estimates that horses
on United States farms increase from
1888, 900 in 1910 to q, 100000 on Jan
uary l., 1920. Mules increased, too
according to the estimates.
The Horse Association of America
with headquarters in Chicago, pro-
poses to encourage the breeding, rear
ing and use of horses. The associa.
ton, which is nonprofit organiza-
ton, incorporated under the laws of
Illinois, is backed by horse breeders
representing all breeds of horses by
the saddlery and harness interests,
by the horseshoe manufacturers and
master horseshoers, by the hay, grain
and feed interests and by the carriage
and wagon builders of America.
1.-THE horse is-next to man him
self-the most efficient power unit in
existence, delivering more effective
motive energy in proportion to en-
ergy consumed than any other type
of motive-power unit when the work
done as a self-reprodueing self-re-
pairing organism, is taken into ac-
count" declared Wayne Dinsmore,
secretary of the association.

from the time they were three years
old, until they were IL years of age
without the expenditure of dollar
for repairs" Mr.. Dinsmore said. 1.-THE

Mr.. Dinsmore said the horse can do
Shorthand work just as rapidly as a
truck and from 25 to 40 per cent
cheaper.
During the recent snow storms in
New York when every means of NOV
ing traffic was said to have failed
but the horse, the horsemen declared
some merchants paid as high as $50
day for the use of the horse.
The government realizes the impor-
lance of the horse, Mr.. Dinsmore said,
and has sent out bulletins encourag-
ing horse breeding.
Transfers and teaming contractors
nowadays want large and heavy
horses and are willing to pay for
them. They are paying as high as

Explosion Leads
to Reform

Aluminium dust caused by polishing
Zip stick" containers may seem far
call from agriculture. Yet, when a
quantity of aluminium dust exploded
in the plant of the Aluminium Goods
Manufacturing Co., at Manitowoc,
Wis, resulting in the death of six
girls and the serious injury of six
others, it was the grain-dust eXplo-
sion specialists of the United States
Department of Agriculture who were
in position to diagnose the case ana
to assist in prescribing preventive
measures against similar occurrences,
not only in that plant but in the plants
of many dusty industries throughout
the country.
The explosibility of aluminium dust
is not a new discovery, but the Mani
towoc catastrophe first brought it of
ficially to the attention both of he
United States Department of Agri-
culture and the industrial Commits
sion of Wisconsin. Representatives
of the office of Grain Dust Explosions
investigations of the Department OF
Agriculture made a thorough inspec-
ton of the damaged plant and in CO.
operation with Representatives of the
commission determined that the d.
rect cause of the explosion was a
spark from piece of wire that had
somehow got into the suction ian
drawing the dust from the finishing
machines, and in which a quantity OF
dust had apparently collected. Sug-
gestions are now being made by which
the Aluminium Goods Manufacturing
Co, will be able to rearrange its sue
ton system to minimize the danger
of explosions in the future. A con-

OLD APPLE TREE THAT GAVE
THE, WORLD GRIMES GOLDEN

Plant an apple seed and you never
can tell what kind of fruit you will
get, but the chances are thousands to
one that it will be entirely worthless.
This one chance, however, sometimes
leads to fame and fortune. If any
apple ever was worth it's weight in
gold it was the one containing the
seed that gave us that widely known
and most delicious of apples-the
Grimes Golden. Old records tell US
that away back about 1880 one Edward
Crawford planted in what is now
Brooke County, West Virginia, whole
orchard from apple seeds. When the
orchard was about ready to bear he
sold his farm to Thomas P. Grimes.
One of these Seeding apple trees pro-
duced a fruit of such rare golden
color and high quality as to make the
name of Grimes famous. AS early as
1904 Thomas Grimes sold fruit from
this tree to the traders in the New
Orleans market About 1899 the par
ent tree fell to the ground and the
original wood is now a thing of the
past with the exception of gavel
made from it now in the possession
of the West Virginia State Horticui-
tural Society. The original Grimes
Golden tree gave all the scions which
grated on to other stocks enabled
the excellent qualities of this favorite
fruit to be perpetuated throughout the
United States for it has been grown
with marked degree of success in
every section of the country.

ference has been held with the In
dustrial Commission of Wisconsin, and
close cooperation has been estab
lished with a view of working out a
standard method of collecting dust in
such way as to minimize danger in
all dusty plants. The experience OF
the Department of Agriculture spec
ialists in handling explosive dusts will
be of value to the Wisconsin Indus
trial Commission. The commission
is collecting samples of dust in vari-
GUS kinds of plants over the State
and sending them to Washington for
Analysis and recommendations as to
treatment of them.
A system is being worked out by the
commission that will prevent repeti-
ton of the horror that overlook the
girls at the Manitowoc plant.

To Dress the
Four-PoSt Bed

Bedsteads are unavoidably the
center of interest in any bedroom and
consequently should be particularly
beautiful. In the days of Martha
Washington the dignified four-posters
| of Mount Vernon, with their graceful
canopies and dainty draperies, were
worthy of their conspicuous position
in the center of the room.
Approaching their beauties and
profting from our lessons in santa
ton and comfort, we have hit upon
the happy compromise of reducing the
draperies to a minimum and of sub
stituting light, graceful posts for
heavy, carved ones, while the feather
bed and stepladder have retreated
hand-in-hand to the attic, giving way
TO the luxurious box spring and SEN
sible hair mattress.
How to dress" the canopy bed ac-
cording to these modern ideas is then
the question. The simplest method
is to dispense with the curtains fol-
merly hung at the corners and across
the back, and to have only the bal
ance at the foot and at the top, the
lining in the top to be used only when
construction of the BED absolutely re-
quires it.
To make removal for laundering
easy, these valances are now shirred
over slender brass rods which rest in
sockets, attached to the bedstead I'M
derneath the side and feet boards
and inside the molding at the top.
Three rods are used and the valances
are cut in three strips at both the
bottom and at the top unless the
posts are unfinished and homely. In
that case the valances are in one piece
and shirred around the posts to con-
ceal them.
A foot valance should be deep
enough to reach the floor within two
inchesand the top valance is usual
ly made about the same depth, al
though it can be deeper if need be-
The foot valance needs no heading,
but the top valance usually has an
inch heading.
In colonial room there is no pref
tier or more appropriate material for
these valances than dotted grenadine
fine dimity or null, with narrow bail
or dotted fringes. Old-fashioned knit
ted or knotted bedspreads go well
with them and should hang down over
the foot valance about three inches.
Glazed chintzes were used by the
English for bedsteads of this type and
are frequently used here. They are
trimmed sometimes with silk bindings
that harminize in color and son,t-
times with narrow knotted fringes' in
appropriate colors. The English Iii
glazed chintzes in the small designs
are almost as pretty as the glazed and
drape more softly. Either is appropri
ate.
