BUILDING DEADLOCK
BROKEN BY ACTION
OF CARPENTER CRAFT

Settlement of the wage controversy
between the Master Builders as
sociation and the Building Trades
council was effected Wednesday night.
The agreement between the caIpen-
ters and contractors was the last link
in tie-up that has held up building
operations in the city for the past FIVE
weeks.
The carpenters went to work Thurs
day on a wage scale of so cents an
hour This is a five cent reduction
from the old scale. The contractors
had been holding out for 75 cent
scale. An agreement for closed shop
policy, As hour week, time and a
half for overtime and double time for
Sundays and holidays.
The contractors were represented by
a committee composed of Henry J.
Dietrich, Frank Feers and Vincent
Juerling. The building trades were
represented by Ernest Gable, business
manager, and Charles Gritty.
Lasts Until April I.
II is understood that the agreement
will cover the period until April
1922. A new agreement to meet condi
tions at that time will be made then
il is said.
Plumbers resumed work Thursday
morning, pending the signing of an
agreement between the journeymen
plumbers and the master plumbers
They will work on the new wage scale
of so cents an hour in accordance with
the decision reached last Monday

Dockage in Wheat
Should Be Kept on Farm

Dockage found in wheat in some
instances is of real value, while in
others it not only may have no
value but often may contain in
gradients that are positively harm
full if ground with the wheat, say
specialists of the United States de-
partment of Agriculture. The value
of dockage, therefore depends on
the value Of the material separated
from the wheat. Dockage fire.
quently contains quantities of nu-
tritious grain and weel seeds. as
flaxseed, wild oats or other cerial
grains. Much of this material can
be used to good advantage as poul-
try 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 is sometimes
found in terminal elevators and the
larger flour mills, but even then
the cost of cleaning will be con-
siderable, and when so separated
will ordinarily command a fair
price.
However, when dockage consists
of dirt. sand, and other inert ma
terial of no value, or of material
containing ingredients that are pos
itively harmful when ground with
wheat, the dockage contained in
the wheat amounts to specific
loss and necessitates extra ex-
pense in cleaning the wheat to
make it suitable for milling and for
human consumption.
Under the dockage system Of the
federal standards. the amount of
foreign material separated and con-
sidered as dockage is deducted
from the weight of the wheat pur.
chased and, in any event, does not
affect the grade of the clean wheat.
This results in a higher grade and
the price paid is on the basis of
this grade for the docka ge-free
wheat.

Care of Growing Chicks
During Warm Weather

The care of growing chicks, es-
pecially during warm weather, is
most important, say specialists OF
the United States Department OF
Agriculture. Every boy or girl
member of poultry club should
give them the best of attention if
success is to be had. The baby
chicks may be smart little fellows
from strong. vigorous parent stock.
and they may have been brooded
carefully for the first two or three
weeks, but unless they receive
proper care and management dur
ing their later growing period they
will not develop properly, and many
of them will be lost through dis
ease or sickness. The chief essen
tials to proper growth are good
coops or houses, cleanliness, proper
feed and water, shade, and free
range.
Every coop and poultry house
used for growing chicks should be
kept clean at all times. Sickness
or disease starts usually in unclean
quarters, and in such places lice
and mites are always more plenti-
full. Coops and houses should be
cleaned and sprayed once a week,
and clean shavings, chaff, or sand
put on the floor. Examine the
chicks and houses often for lice
and mites, and if found they should
be got rid of at once by following
the directions in Department Cir
cular IS. Lice, Mites. and Cleanli-
ness. which may be had, free, upon
application TO the Division of Pub
lications. United States Depart.
ment OF Agriculture.
A variety of feeds. with fresh
clean water, is. necessary If chicks
are to grow properly. Perhaps the
three most necessary for rapid
growth are grain feed, green feed
and dry mash. Poultry specialists
OF the department say that in ad
dition to the green feed and dry
mash. which should be provided
regularly, a grain mixture should
be fed night and morning, giving
as large a quantity as the chicks
will eat clean, but no more. A good
grain mixture for growing chicks
consists of 3 parts cracked corn, z
parts wheat, and ? parts hulled
oats. When available, kafir or roll
ed or hulled barley may be sub
stituted for hulled oats. In local
tiles where hulled oats, kafir, ol
rolled barley can not be obtained
or is too expensive, mixture ol
cracked corn and wheat only may
be fed until the chicks are old
enough to eat whole oats, when
parts oats may be added to the
corn and wheat mixture.
