VALUE OF DockAcE IN WHEAT
ties ~ Nutritious Grain,
Coed fer Farm use.

Doekage found In wheat In some In
stances is Of real value, while in 9TH
ers it not only may have no value but
often may contain ingredients that are
positively harmful If ground with the
wheat. say specialists Of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
The value Of dockage, therefore. de-
ponds on the value Of the material
separated from the wheat. Doekage
frequently contains quantities Of nutri.
tious grain and weed seeds. A. fax.
seed. wild oats. or other cereal grains.
Much Of this material can be used to
good advantage as poultry or stock
feed. Wild mustard and flaxseed
can be removed from the dockage in
practically a pure state by the use Of
special cleaning machinery. such as II
sometimes found In terminal elevators
and the larger flour mills. but even
then the cost Of cleaning will be con-
siderable. and when 50 separated will
ordinarily command q fair price.
Under the dockage system Of the
federal standards the amount Of for.
eign material separated and consid-
cred as dockage Is deducted from the
weight Of the wheat purchased and.
In any event. does not affect the grade
Of the clean wheat. This results In .
higher grade and the price paid 10 on
the basis Of this grade for the dockage-
free wheat.

Some interesting facts have come out
as an aftermath of the deer hunting sea
son in Vermont. One Of these is that
federal inspectors held up considerable
number of deer which found their way
into the Fanueil Hall market in Boston.
Thirteen carcasses among those detained
were reported to County Fish and Game
Warden Z. II. Metcalf of Brattleboro to
be investigated. One of these was thought
by the officers to be a doe. Warden Met
calf made an investigation and found
that the deer was a buck but that before
it was shipped the horns We're cut off.
All 13 were shot legally, according to the
records, but there were some omissions of
data on the shipping tags which caused
the officers t. start an investigations
Twelve of the deer have been released by
telegraph. and it is expected that the one
which was thought to be a doe viii be
released when the officers receive the
correspondence in the case.
One of the most interesting stories OF
the deer season is beginning to get public
ity by being passed from mouth TO mouth,
1t involves five h-ell-knOwn Brattlebor0
hunters. including a banker dentist, q
liyerymaH, a travelling man and sta
toner. who went hunting on Newfane hill
L nEee OI the parry bought q uttI ltt31l
had been shot by another hunter and laid
plans for playing joke on the banker
They set the deer up behind wall, with
his head showing above the wall where it
was to be discovered by the banker. i
rope was attached 10 the DEER the plan
being to pull the rope and have the deer
fall when the banker fired.
. The banker did not arrive at the camp,
however. until after dark so the execution
Of the plan had to be postponed until
morning. Soon after the party arose in
the morning the deer was discovered
and the banker fred. but the deer didn't
move The man behind the gun scarcely
could believe lac could miss 50 easy a shot
and he became suspicious that a deer head
in the cabin had been set up for him to
shoot at. Going inside the cabin he found
the head in its accustomed place, which
convinced him that his aim had been poor.
Taking deliberate aim. he fired again at
the buck. which, strange to say. had not
moved out of his tracks. 1t did not take
him long thereafter to learn the truth.
The joke was not wholly on the banker,
however. because at each shot the trav-
cling man tugged at the rope to make
the buck fall over, but without success as
the rope had frozen IN during the night.

THOMPSON LEAVES
FOR PARTS UNKNOWN
Case Against Him on Charge of Stealing
Camera Was Set for Trial Soon in
Municipal Court

Frank Thompson, who was awaiting
trial IN the municipal court on the charge
of larceny, appears to be a firm believer
i'm the maxim, Absence makes the heart
grow fonder. On Saturday night, with
his trial still 10 days away, he departed
for parts unknown to his bondsmen, and
he has not been heard from since.
Thompson was brought before Judge
L. ID. Il. Stowe in the municipal court
Nov, % on complaint of States Attorney
Harold +. Whitney on the charge of steal
ing Il camera from the Brattleboro China
store. He pleaded not guilty and was
released under $500 bail pending trial
George IL. Sherman went bail for Thomp-
son, who was a laundryman at the Brooks
House
The trial was set for Dec. Is. Thomp-
son stayed four days and then took French
leave. 1t is thought that some of his fell
low workers at the Brooks House made
remarks about his probable fate, which
did not add to his peace of mind. and con-
sequently Thompson developed an acute
case of what is known as .cold feet"
Dogs were despised by the ancient He
hrews. but worshipped by the ancient
