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? It 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, ehaff. 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 provi-
sion in the wheat standards is to epa-
bic the person grading the representa-
tive sample to determine the approx
The Hays free press. [volume] (Hays, Kan.) 1908-1924, 1920-08-05

The percentage of dockage is
an essential factor in arriving
at the true value Of a lot of
wheat. This dockage may con-
sfst 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 IN
der a system OF grading that
does not require a determination
for dockage but lowers the
grade on account of the total
foreign material present in the
wheat marketed at country
points.
The dockage system in opera
ton protects the farmer from
the possibility of low prices
fixed by the local buyer in or
der to insure a safe purchase on
a flat-rate basis.

ricuIture, Washington, for a bull

mate amount Of easily separated for

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-
cry commonly found in grain elevators
and mills.
The dOckage test is made ordinarily
by weighing about ], 200 grams Of
wheat (about two and one-quarter
pounds), which should constitute a
representative sample. Grams are
used instead OF other units. for ease
in determining percentages.
The dockage is separated from this

the proper hand sleeves or by using an
approved cleaning device such as Is

bequeathed TO Jackson That savage
struggle between Wing and Tory
swept away his brave mother and
both of his brothers scattered his kim
dred and left him, at fifteen, alone in
the world.
A ragged, rowing waif of the Revo-
1utiOn, he grew up as wild as a weed.
With no hand above him, his high
spirits led him into the temptations of
his primitive world, whose social
standards were 200 years behind the
times. Drinking, and carOusing. gam
bling. cock fighting and horse racing.
young Jackson never took a dare. A
bully among rOwdies, he went his roy
STEERING way along a road that is not
to be laid down on the map of conduct
as a course to the White House.
AS he rose from a chOre boy and a
saddler's apprentice to be a lawyer
and judge of the Supreme court of
Tennessee, he cast aside the dissipa-
lions of his careless youth, but he
never lost the spirit of the clansman.
A bare catalOg of his quarrels and
fights is too long to be given here. In
most Of them he was fired with the
conviction that he was defending the
name of his wife. This had been
brought into question only by his own
characteristic imprudence, when he
fell in love with his landlady's daugh-
ter, while she was yet married to an
other, and when he rashly wed her
without waiting to verify the mere ru-
NOR that her offended husband had
obtained a divorce in a neighboring
state. After two years of welded life.
the too haSty couple learned that the
woman's first marriage had only just
been dissolved and they had to make
a spectacle of themselves as they went
through another ceremony in order to
be united in lawful bonds.
Because his own impulsive con-
duct had exposed his honest, devoted
wife to the slanderOus tongues of the
gossips, Jackson was all the more SEN
sitive to her sufferings. For sneering
at her over bar one man was stood
up at "a PAGES and shot to death by
the avenging husband, who kept his
pistols in perfect condition through 81
years, as Barton says, for anyone who
dared breathe her name except In
honor.
Even at the sober age of forty-six.
Jackson plunged into a tavern brawl
at Nashville with Thomas b. Benton,
afterward the distinguished senator
from Missouri. and was shattered for
life by two balls and a slug which
Benton's brother shot into his back.
That was his last personal alteration.
In few weeks he was called from his
bed of pain to take part in public al
tercation between the United States
and Great Britain and. with his arm
still in sling. he rose to do battle for
his country.

The season for thunderStorms Is st

will be concerned about the sOuring

good many that thunder Will sour the

They say that the souring is caused
normally by the acidity which results
from bacterial growth and sterilized
milk will not sour during a thunder
storm Neither viii milk that is kept

in the fact that during the storms Of

Staying DRAGONS

ACkSONS administration stands
- forth in the half-century between
Jefferson and Lincoln because of two
measures. One of these was the over
throw of the United States bank.
That great institution, patterned
after the Bank of England and the
Bank Of France, was an efficient but
dangerous partner for a democratic
government. 1t was a money mOnop-
oily which could make or break any
enterprise in the country; it held in
Its grasp the financial life of Amer
lea; it received and distributed all the
revenues Of the nation and half Of
its deposits were public moneys; but,
with only a fifth of its directors ap-
pointed by the government, it was
not under public control.
When Jackson began his audacious
fight upon the bank, it was at the
height of its power. Against heavy
odds, he vetoed the bill for recharter-
ing it; took his case to the people in
his campaign for reelection, and
scored a complete victory. On the
strength of that popular verdict he
removed the government deposits
and left the bank to a slow and ignO-
miniOus collapse.
For this action the senate censured
him. After a bitter fight, in which
JecksOn's One-time antagonist, Thomas
H Benton, now a senator from Mis-
souri,, was his champion, the resolu-
ton was expunged by drawing about
it in the records a heavy black line.
Jackson was equally bold and vic
tOriOus in meeting the threat of nulli-
fication, although it came from his
own section, from his own party and
from his own vice president, John G.
Calhoun. Shortly before his inaugu-
ration congress passed the first tariff
that was framed for the benefit of
the new manufacturing industries
which were springing up in New
England. This bestowaI of a special
privilege aroused the jealousy Of the
agricultural South
At q Democratic banquet in Wash
ington in 1880, President Jackson
rose and proposed this toast: ''FOr
Federal Union; it must be pre-
served" Then Vice President Cal
houn got up and toasted the rights
OF the states. Thus the two highest
officials of the government Joined
issue across that dinner table on a
question which great armies would
fight out in another generation.
Two years afterward a convention
in South Carolina sOlemnly adopted
an ordinance multiplying the tariff act
for that state and fOrbidding within
the boundaries of the state the col
lection Of customs duties under it.
While recommending to congress a
modification of the offending tariff,
Jackson appealed to the patriotism of
the South Carolinans in a proclama-
| tion which set all the North and much
of the South ringing with cheers: or

Various Weed Seeds.

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 it's value In that it often In
ereases the cost of milling and causes
injury TO the baking qualities Of flour.
Therefore, that factor is considered in
the inspecting and grading Of wheat.
The amOunt"Of dOckage present has a
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 10 for
efgn 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 a factor
in the grading, and definite percent
ages are permitted within each nu-
mericaI grade.

SCIENTIFIC FEEDING is BEST
Supply Food in Right Proportions to
Meet Requirements Without Waste
of Nutrients.

To supply food in the right proper
ton to meet the various requirements
of the animal, without a waste of food
nutrients, constitutes scientific feeding
It is by carefully studying the compO-
sition of feeding stuffs, the proportion
in which they are digested By differ
ent animals and under different condi-
tons, and the requirement of ami
mails for the various food nutrients
when at rest, at work, giving milk, pro-
ducing wool. mutton, beef, pork. etc.,
that the principles Of feeding have
been worked out. In applying these
principles in practice the cost and spe-
cial adaptations of different feeding
stuffs must, Of course, be taken into
