Grading of Grain an
 Important Matter
M M M

TT INSPECTION and grading of grain H for sale on the exchanges of this
 country are two of the most in teresting and important features con hected with the trade, but regarding which the general public has prac- Gcally no knowledge. Even the aver bge farmer who raises wheat, corn or oats. and who is therefore the person most concerned, has little idea of how his grain is handled after it is shipped from the farm and reaches terminal market. He probably wonders many times why the price he receives for a car of corn, for example, is lower than that received by neighboring farmer who shipped and sold at the same time. However, it all resolves itself Into a question of what grade" is put upon it by the official inspectors ap- pointed by the state in which his mar t1et Is located
 Have Different Grade.
 ! Both wheat and corn have four or five different grades, ranging from the best to the poorest, which, of course. means quite difference in prices. The matter of grading is not as simple as 1t sounds. In fact, in the case of some grains, corn especially, it is quite an intricate process
 Each state in which the big terminal markets are located, such as Chicago, Omaha, Minneapolis and Kansas City, has an official inspection department, and evory car of grain of whatever kind must pass the scrutiny of and be graded by the experts in these depart ments before it is offered for sale on the exchange as leash" grain Now "cash" grain might mean little or noth- ing to the outsider, but to the man in the trade 1t means grain intended for immediate delivery. The cash grain department of the Chicago Board of Trade, for instance, is g very active and important one, furnishing the basis of operation for the entire mar ket

engag ged in this work alone and each one has a certain task to perform. Corn that shows only 14 per cent moisture is graded No. l. If it con- tains 15.5 per cent it is graded No. 9: if 17.5 per cent, No. 3; if 19.5 per cent. No 4; if 21.5 per cent, No. 5. and If g per cent, No. 6. Should the nnoigture content exceed B per cent it is chased sample grade. About half an hour ia required to determine the moisture content in each sample.
 In determining the grade of corn there are other things besides moisture to be taken into consideration. These are damaged kernels, foreign matter, corn that Is hot, heat damaged, ire burnt, sour, musty, immature. blistered or infested with live weevil. "Whits corn" must be at least 93 per cent white, and yellow corn" at least 95 per cent yellow. The grades of wheat are determined by the variety, Winter or Spring. hard or soft, and by sound ness, p1umpness, dryness, sweetness, weight and also depending upon how clean it is- Color likewise is an in- portant factor in grading wheat. Rules for grading oats. rye and barley arc largely the same as those applied fol wheat
 The work of taking samples from the cars of grain on track commences at o'clock in the morning, and by noon the bulk of the samples have been graded and delivered to the varfoua concerns on the Board of Trade.

being the most efficient of it's kind in the country, while none approaches it in the matter of capacity. It has frs Quently handled more than 5000 cars of grain in one month, and it's record for & single days work done Is 2,520 cars, of which 1.472 were corn. The latter is more difficult to grade than any other grain, as it requires the moisture test recently established by Of the Grain Inspection Department in Chicago employ 25 deputy inspectors. 50 grain samplers, 24zgrain helpers, who act as assistants to the grain samplers, and 9 large clerical force.
 Early every morning the grain sam piers go to the freight yards where cars of grain have arrived over night and take samples of each car. The sampling is done by means of an in- strument known as a "trier," which consists of a 2-inch metal pipe feet long, with a pointed end, in which are cut, at intervals of five inches along one side of the pipe. eight holes abont four inches by 11a inches. A smooth wooden pole fits snugly into the pipe. closing all the holes. In using the "trier" 1t is showed into the grain, down to the bottom of the car, and the pole is then gradually withdrawn, opening the holes. and allowing the grain to enter the pipe from various parts of the car. By examining the grain extracted at the different open ings in the "trier," the sampler is en- abled to determine whether grain Is not of uniform quality in all parts of the car. The state law provides that all cash grain sold on the Board of Trade shall pass inspection by the Illi- nois State Grain Inspection Depart ment. The charge of inspection is 50 cents a carload. Grain can not be re- inspected after it has been unloaded and It's identity lost.
 In addition to the tests given other grains, corn Is put through the moist ure-teSter. This method was not uni versally employed until in recent years, and its importance was aug mented by the standard system of grading corn authorized a few years

ufacture of corn products also prefer dry corn for economical reasons. The weather at the time the corn IS har- vested is c big factor tn determining the amount of moisture it will con- tain. but corn abscrbs moisture 50 readily that care must be used in handling 1t at all ttroea. The moist ure test is not applied to other grains except by special reoest, as the per ceutase of moisture they contain is usually . negligible quantity.
 The apparatus used for determining g the amount of moisture in corn is sim pie enough in its operation yet truly wonderful in Its achievement Its prin- cipie is to boil the water out of the corn and condense it. This is accom- p1ished by placing the corn in a glass container, shaped like a bottle and containing @ certain amount of oil. In the case of corn, wheat or Kaffr corn. 100 grammes by weight of ths grain is used to 16o cubic centimeters Of oil; with oats, 50 grammes by weight to 15o cubic centimetersa of oil; 50 grames Of oats are used and the reading of tho graduate doubled This weight is used in this instance because 100 grammes Of oats have too much bulk to place in the flask for prac- teal purposes.
 When grain has been mixed with oil according to the above formula, a thermometer, with rubber stopper at tached, Is placed fn the neck of the flask and the grain and oil heated to g temperature of 1eo degrees Centigrade, after which the flame is turned off and the grain allowed to cool about 25 de- grees The moisture in the grain turns to steam during this process and the only means of escape for the steam is through the tube of the flask This tube is connected by 8 rubber stopper to an- other glass tube which runs through a tank of cold water. Thus the steam from the grain is condensed as it passes through the cold water and drops into a graduate below. The reading of this graduate when the grain has cooled completes the test

DEVELOPMENT OF GOOD COWS
Typical Letter From Dairyman Aiding
in "Better Sircs-Better Stock"
Campaign.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
To illustrate how a good herd of cat
tie may be developed from small be-
ginning, the United States Department
of Agriculture makes public the follow
ing letter from a farmer near NOkes-
vile, Va. This letter is typical of
many contributed by practical farmers
aiding in the Better SireS-Better
Stock" campaign.
II am a farmer and dairyman.
milk IS COWS and raise about two
calves a year so as to be able to Gull
my herd two COWS a year and replace
with young calves.
II started with common grades of
all kinds. but they were good ones,
Then l began using my neighbours
purebred bull, and kept the best heif-
ers. But this was slow progress, SO
bought six grade Holstein heifers and
also purebred bull Then 1 added
two purebred COWS.
II now find ready sale for stock
I wish to sell. even for my grades.
When one uses q good bull and good
COWS, we'll cared for. he does not have
any scrub calves"
The letter points out clearly how it
is possible for one to develop gradu-
ally into a breeder of purebred and
high-grade live stock.
