APPLY STANDARDS PROPERLY
Information Desired In This Connec-
tion May Be Secured Of Federal
Supervisor.

BY familiarizing themselves with the
grain grades under the federal grain
standards act, farmers can be sure
when selling their grain that the stand
ards are being properly applied. ANY
information in this connection may be
had by writing or visiting the nearest
Office of federal grain supervision. In
case any person desires to check up
his determination Of the grade OF the
grain when no licensed grain inspector
is located in the community, he can
mail a representative sample TO the
nearest licensed grain inspector and
have 1t officially inspected. The sample
should be at least two quarts In size.
While the grade applies to the sample
only. the parties to transaction In
volving the sale Of grain at country
points may agree that the grade of the
sample will apply to the entire lot to
be sold.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect It
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
Who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DIR. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
30 many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is SO
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease, 1t is on sale
nt all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y. for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.

Protection From Cold Depends Largely

Protection from cold depends large
ly upon constant circulation of warm
air around the load. Heated air from
stove in the center of car rises to
the top. spreads along the ceiling be-
tween the potatoes and the roof. thence
down through the open spaces at the
ends, then back underneath false
floor coming out at the stove.
Cars should be carefully lined with
paper. In box cars, false floors, false
side and end walls should be con-
structed of boards and studdlng so as
to provide for air circulation around
the load. In refrigerator cars, false
floors should be provided and care
should be taken that bunker bulkhead
openings are not blocked, either in pa
pering or loading.
Cars should be heated Mt least six
hours before loading. In loading
sacks should not come closer than
eight inches from the ceiling. The
potatoes at the floor should be loaded
not less than six inches from the sides
and ends of car.
