mate amount of easily separated for
eign material that is in the lot OF
wheat. Dockage is therefore approx
imately the percentage of foreign ma
terial which can be readily removed
from the lot of wheat by the ordinary
commercial types of cleaning machin-
ery commonly found in grain elevators
and mills.
The dockage test is made ordinarily
by weighing about LOCO grams of
wheat (about two and one-quarter
pounds), which should constitute q
representative sample. Grams are
used instead of other units for ease
In determining percentages.
The dockage is separated from this
1000 gram sample by screening with
the proper hand sleeves or by using an
approved cleaning device such as is
described under the heading Detailed
Description of the Method OF Deter
mining Dockage." The dockage SO
separated is weighed and the percent
age is found, based on the total
weight of the sample including the
dockage. If the amount of dockage
Is below per cent it is disregarded.
For example, if only one-half OF ! per
cent foreign material is so separated
no dockage is assessed. This one

In grading wheat under the federal
standards one of the fundamental
principles is to determine the numeri-
cal grade on a dockage-free basis /;
that is, the dockage is first removed
from the sample and the grade deter
mination is made on the clean or dock
age-free wheat A few exceptions to
this principle are noted in the follow
ing pages.
What is dockage? 1t is the foreign
material screened from sample of
wheat to be graded, by the use of ap-
propriate hand sleeves or other clean
ing devices, such as those approved
by the United States department of
agriculture. 1t consists of sand, dirt,
weed seeds, weed stems, chaff, straw,
grain other than wheat, any other for
eign material, and In certain cases
some finely broken and small shriv-
eled kernels of wheat.
The purpose of the dockage proyi-
sion in the wheat standards is to ena-

FARMERS 20 WELL
Record Prices Paid Wheat Crow
ers of Western Canada.
Will Get Above 40 Cents Over the
Fixed Scale Set-WorId Looking
to the Dominion for Its
Grain.

It will be of interest to many read
ers to learn that their farmer friends
in Canada will do SO well out of the
wheat they grew on western Canada's
prairies last year.
There was fixed price of $2.15 per
bushel paid for their wheat last sea-
son.
Not knowing the price at whicL 1t
would be possible to market the crop,
the Canadian grain board, which or
ganzation handled the whole of the
croo last summer, fixed $2.15 as a min
imlm price for No. wheat, and ar
| ragged that each farmer should be
gwen certificates for the quantity of
wheat he delivered. TIE amount re-
.eived over and above the fixed price
which was paid to the farmers when
selling their wheat was to be divided
pro rata at the end of the season, and
the holders of these certificates will,
therefore, participate in the extra
price received according to the guam
tity of wheat sold.
The latest advices are that the
wheat board will pay at least 30 cents
bushel over the fixed rate of S215
bushel for their wheat of last season.
This means that about $40,000,000 will
be distributed among the farmers Of
Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba.
This sum represents the difference in
the price at which the wheat crop was
sold and the price that was fixed for
last seasons crop.
Canadian Wheat in Demand.
A declaration that Canadian wheat
would in all probability sell this year
at between So and So per bushel, was
made recently before q conference Of
western supporters Of the government
by DR.. Robert Magill, who was one of
a deputation from the Winnipeg grain
exchange. DR.. Magill argued in ia
vor of open trading from the aspect
of world conditions. He stated that
no wheat could be exported from Rus
STA owing to internal troubles.
Roumania would have absolutely
none to export, India was prohibiting
export, while Australians acreage
would fall from 100000 to 7,O0O,O0O
The result would be that Australia
would scarcely have enough to feed
herself, and there would be absolute
ly no wheat for Europe, except from
the Argentine and North America.
DR.. Magill, according to formal an
nouncement, though it would be i'm.
possible to secure as good price for
the producer by control as by the
open market. The United States mar.
ket was now open, end, according to
present prospects, there would be
mighty little TO spare from that quar-.
ter. The net result would be that Ca.
madam wheat would undoubtedly go
to O record figure.-Advertisem

ditions which are unfavorable to the
growth of wheat plants but favorable
to the growth of weeds. If the seed
is carefully selected, cleaned, tested
and treated before planting, if care is
exercised in the cultivation and crop
rotation, and If the wheat is carefully
threshed and cleaned at the time of
threshing, there should be ordinarily
very little foreign material present
when the crop is marketed. The for
eign material in wheat may seriously
affect its value in that it often in
creases the cost OF milling and causes
injury to the baking qualities of -four
Therefore, that factor is considered In
the inspecting and grading of wheat.
The amount of dockage present has
bearing upon the commercial value of
a lot of wheat Especially when
present in large amounts, it is a fac
tor of considerable Importance to the
parties interested in the marketing or
storage of grain.
There are two terms in the federal
wheat standards which apply to for
eign notwithstanding" and foreign
material other than dockage." ''Dock-
age" is the foreign material that is
separated from the sample of wheat
by the correct use of appropriate hand
sleeves. Foreign material other than
dockage" is the foreign material that
is not separated in the screening and
remains in the dockage-free sample.
"Dockage' does not affect the grade,
but sometimes does affect the weight
of the wheat to be sold. Foreign ma
terial other than dockage" is factor
in the grading, and definite percent
ages are permitted within each nu-
merical grade.

A Valley Force Kettle.

According to the Carthage Press,
Charles Sanders, resident of
Carthage has an iron kettle that has
an interesting history. 1t was used to
bake bread for General George Wash
ington and his army during the severe
winter at Valley Forge. The kettle
was given Mr.. Sanders by his mother.
1t is the heavy iron type that was
used for baking before the appearance
of ovens and cook stoves. Mrs. William
Satterfield used it when she was liv-
ing at Valley Forge in 1776. 1t was
later given her daughter, who used
1t until her death, at 10 years of
age, when it was given TO Mrs. ]. V.

A COW Is the dam of but one calf in

the calves. Because of his extensive
influence on the herd, the herd bull
should be just as good as the new
breeder can possibly afford to buy. In
fact, the price of the herd bull should
be of far less consideration than the
price of the COW. The buyer should
not be satisfied with a cheap bull, but
when he pays a good price he should
buy good bull.

The percentage of doc'age is
an essential factor In arriving
at the true value of a lot of
wheat. This docllage may con-
sist of either useful or harmful
foreign materials.
The various methods of han
ding dockage should be care
fully investigated and the one
that is best suited to the needs
of the local conditions should be
adopted.
When a large percentage of
dockage is present in wheat it is
advisable to- remove it on the
farm or at the point of shipment
and thus avoid paying the freight
for the dirt, chaff, weed seeds,
ETC., on the basis of the rate for
wheat.
The farmer should get a high
er numerical grade for his wheat
under the dockage system of the
federal grades than he would I'M
der q system of grading that
does not require determination
for dockage but lowers the
grade on account of the total
foreign material present in the
wheat marketed at country
points.

ton protects the farmer from
the possibility of low prices
fixed by the local buyer in or

GKIM MILK RATION FAVORED
Greatest Gain In Weight Made When
Calf Is Fed Large Quantities in
Daily Ration.

How much skim milk should be fed
to calves dailyf
Results obtained thus far at the
dairy division experiment farm, Belts
vile, Nd, indicate that calves will
make the greatest gains in weight
when fed comparatively large quanti-
ties of skim milk daily (one-fifth Of
their body weight, or all they will
drink, but that the most economical
gains are made on smaller quantities.
In an experiment to determine the
effect of feeding various quantities of
skim milk, 10 calves were divided into
groups of four calves each. These
groups were balanced as nearly as pos
sible with reference to breed and body
weight at birth. One group was given
a daily ration Of one-seventh of the
body weight, the quantity being regu-
lated by body weights taken every ten
days. Two other groups were fed at
the rate of one-sixth and one-fifth Of
their body weights; and the fourth
group was given all the milk the calves
would drink, twice day.
Each calf received its mothers milk
until it was ten days old. The change
to skim milk was then made gradually,
and at the age of fifteen days the calf
was on an entire skim milk ration.
The experiment ran for 20 days.
Weights obtained for three consecutive
days, at the end of the Today period,
were taken as the final weights The
average RESULTS from each group are
