There is good story of an incident
that happened in France when a group
of officers from a division made up
largely OF fasteners was watching a
column Of German prisoners file past.
The column halted for a moment, and
from the ranks of prisoners came a
voice which said--not only In good
English, but also In the yernaeular -

Wondering-and not knowing to
this day--how news OF himself and his

has in mind the approximate federal
grade the average run of local wheat
will receive at the market where he
sells, and he pays accordingly. But
under such circumstances the farmer
who raises choice wheat receives the
same price as the one who raises poor
wheat. The farmer who raises the
poorest wheat in the section, there
fore, receives more than he should,
while the one who raises the best re-
ceives less. This putting of a premium
on poor wheat tends to discourage the
growing of better grade product.
Grades have long been used in the
larger markets. Prior to the fixing of
federal grades, however, these local
grades often differed in the various

THoREAU's GIFTS WERE MANY
Apart From His Wonderful knowledge
of Nature, There Were Few
Things He Could Not Do.

Thoreau could guide him
self about the woods on the darkest
night by the touch of his feet. He
could pick up at once an exact dozen
pencils by the feeling, pace distances
with accuracy, and gauge cubic CON
tents by the eye. :. His knoWf
edge of nature was so complete and
curious that he could have told the
time of year, within day or so, by
the aspects of the plants. In his deal
ings with animals, he was the orig
inal of Hawthorne's Donatello. he
pulled the woodchuck out Of its hole
by the tail; the hunted fox came to
him for protection; wild squirrels
have been seen to nestle in his waist
coat; he would thrust his arm Into
a pond and bring forth bright, pant
ing fish, lying undismayed In the palm
OF his hand. There were few things
that he could do so. He could make
a house, a boat, pencil, or a book.
He was a surveyor, a scholar, nat
,ural historian. He could run, walk,
climb, skate, swim, and manage boat

play his physical accomplishment; and

engagements are under consideration
for both refrigerating and canning on
large scale.
The staple product of agriculture
proper is "mealies" or maize, for
which there is large demand among
the natives; but the soil is so prolific
that large variety of other crops can
be grown, according to the region and
altitude selected. Oranges and lem
ons and tobacco, of both the Turkish
and the "Virginian" varieties are being
grown more and more largely. the cuI-
tivation of tobacco, in particular, being
assisted by the British South Africa
company, which provides expert advice
and assistance, as well as curing
sheds and packing-warehouse for
grading and preparing the leaf.
Has Overcome Severe Setbacks.
RhOdesia has been unfortunate in
experiencing many setbacks, which
might have discouraged or even
wrecked less courageous community.
The Matabele and MashOna rebeIliOns
were, for time, dangerous menace
TO the country, and were only quelIed
at great expense of time and money /;
but wise and sympathetic treatment of
the natives have, it is hoped, eliminat-
ed this menace for the future. The
unfortunate Jameson raid involved
Rhodesia in its consequences, not the
least of which was that, for a time at
any rate, it was deprived of the wise
counsel and guidance of its founder.
The rinderpest outbreak of 1896
swept away large proportion of the
stock which was the mainstay Of both
settlers and natives; but modern sci
ence has discovered means of prevent
ing this and similar epidemic diseases
among cattle, so that fears need no
longer be entertained on this head by
the farmer who takes the needed
measures Of protection.
Lastly, both the Boer war and the
war with Germany have depleted the
country of large number of its best
men, at time when they were urgent
ly needed for development. But now
the men have returned, for the most
part, and the material future of Rho
deSia is bright one. With abundant
natural resources, fine climate, con-
genial society and most of the convent
,ences of civilized life, Rhodesia offers
fine future to those possessed of
some capital-say, from f2,000 to E5,-
coo; for the moment conditions are not
favorable for the settlement of the
small man without capital.
The political future is less certain,
but the majority of the inhabitants,
looking to the advantage of a settled
rule, undisturbed by political changes
at home, and backed by the ever-ready
check book of the Chartered company,
seem to prefer, for the present, at any
rate, to remain in statu quo, rather
than to essay the doubtful experiment

markets and their application fire.
quentIy was based largely on the judg-
ment of the individual inspector at
each market. Consequently, II was
very difficult for the country dealer
TO apply grades accurately He was
not sure that the grain he had bought
at one grade would be received at
that grade by the one to whom he de-
lfyered 1t. In contrast to this, the
grades established by the federal gos-
eminent are uniform throughout the
country. Furthermore, standardized
equipment has been perfected for max
ing many of the tests to determine the
grade, so that with the aid of uniform
rules for grading. the federal stand
ards can be applied uniformly in an
parts of the country.
Aequaintinu Farmers With Grades
While the government has no au-
thorfty under the United States grain
standards act to supervise grain grad
ing under federal grades, except in the
work of licensed inspectors and in in
terstate shipments, the government
does want to acquaint farmers and
dealers generally with the application
of the federal standards so that they
may benefit more generally thereby.
This is one reason why federal gram
supervision officials give demonstra-
lions of federal grades at state fairs,
local grain-grading schools, and other
places, and colleges give grain-grading
courses. By these means the farmer
learns how TO apply the grades to his
own wheat. He may. not care to sup
ply himself with a set of the equip
ment to grade his own grain but by
learning the essential features of the
standards and the grading rules he
viii be able to know whether the coun.
try buyer is correctly grading his
grain when he markets it
Appealing to Inspector.

by grade and his farmer customer
