And stays our hurrying feet:

Our lives are incomplete"

and its Importance augmented by the standard
system of grading corn authorized a few years
ago by the federal government The amount OF
moisture contained in is matter of great
concern to the handling it, and grain which in
all other respects appears excellent has to be
graded low when II is filled with water.
Corn containing much moisture does not keep
as well as when dry. it is apt TO heat. sour or
mold. Elevator people do not like to store 1t for
inns reason, and in weather it can be shipped
only at considerable risk. The various Industries
engaged in the manufacture of corn products also
prefer dry corn for economical reasons. The
weather at the time the corn is harvested is big
factor in determining the amount of moisture 1t
VIII contain. but corn abs0rbs moisture so readily
that care must be used in handling it at all times.
Inc moisture test is not applied to other grams
except by special request, as the percentage OF
moisture they contain is usually negligible guam
tity.
The apparatus used for determining the amount
of moisture in corn is simple enough in its OPP
GRAFTON yet truly wonderful in its achievement.
Its principle is to boil the water out of the corn
and condense it. This is accomplished by placing
the in glass container. shaped like a bottle
ard containing certain amount of oil. Their
mOmeter, with rubber stopper attached, is placed
in the neck of the flask and the grain and oil
heated to temperature of 100 degrees centgrade.
Steam from the grain condenses in passing
through a cool tube to graduate, and reading of
specton department has 1903 of these moisture
testing apparatuses and is the largest one in Op-
Grafton anywhere dozen men are engaged in
this work alone and each one has a certain task
to perform. Corn that shows only IA per cent
moisture is graded No l. and if % per cent, No. 6.
In determining the grade of the corn there-a
other things besides moisture to be taken into
sideratiOn These damaged kernels, foreign
matter, corn that is hot. heat damaged fre-burnt,
sour nuSty immature, bliStered infested with
live weevil. "White corn must be at least %
per cent white, and yellow corn" at least 90 per
cent yellow. The grades of wheat are determined
by the variety, winter spring, hard soft. and
by soundnesS pumpness, dryness, sweetness.
weight, and also depending upon how clean it is.
Color likewise is an important factor in grading
wheat. Rules for grading oats, rye and barley
are largely the same those applied to wheat.
The work of taking samples from the of
grain track commences at seven o'clock in the
morning, and by noon the bulk of the samples
have been graded and delivered to the various
concerns the Board of Trade. The capacity
of ChcagO's grain elevators is 5S000,000 bushels
and these grain storage houses are very import
ant factor in facilitating the handling, accumu-
lating and conditioning of grain
