TO PREVENT POTATO LOSSES
Serious Damage Results From Careless
Handling at Harvest Time
Avoid Breaking Skin.

Growers and shippers are RESPONSE
BILE for much of the loss that results
from shipping diseased potatoes. since
large part of such Losses can be con-
trolled, If not entirely prevented, In
the field. according to specialists Of
the bureau OF markets of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Serious damage results from careless
handling when the potatoes are har-
vested. Too many persons, IL is said,
handle potatoes as though they were
so many cobblestones, rather than q
perishable product. Even the breaking
of the protective skin frequently
proves serious. Such injury not only
damages the appearance and neces-
states deep pairing Of the tuber, but
affords ready entrance to infection.
Loss of this sort lies In every growers
and shippers power to control. 1t Is
pointed out.

VALUE OF DOCkAGE IN WHEAT
Material Sometimes Contains ouanti-
ties Of Nutritious Grain,
Good for Farm Use.

Dockage found in wheat In some In
stances Is Of real value. while in 9th.
ers 1t not only may have no value but
often may contain ingredients that are
positively harmful II ground with the
wheat. say specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
The value OF dockage, therefore, de-
pends on, the value of the material
separated from the wheat. Dockage
frequently contains quantities of nutri-
tious grain and weed seeds, as 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 is
sometimes found In terminal elevators
and the larger -four mills, but even
then the cost Of cleaning will be con.
siderable, and when so separated will
ordinarily command fair price.
Under the dockage system of the
federal standards. the amount Of for
eign material separated and consld-
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 is on
the basis OF this grade for the dockage-
free wheat.

while the production of two quarts is
good. and the production of three
quarts Is considered excellent. provid-
ed the lactation is maintained for from
seven to ten months, say specialists
Of the United States Department of
Agriculture. There Is probably no bet
ter way to treat this matter than to
state that good does should produce
from eight to fifteen times their
weight in milk in a lactation period.
1t is stated by German writer's that
many goats yield ten times their body
weight of milk annually, and excep-
tional animals as much as eighteen
times their weight.
Goats milk can be utilized for the
same purposes as cows milk, although
for some 1t is not nearly so well suit
ed. For general use, such as for
drinking. cooking, and In tea or cof-
fee. the milk has proved very salts
factory. The milk of one Of the larg-
est herds In the country Is evapo-
rated and sold In that form. Goats
milk is less satisfactory than cows
milk for making butter, but large
quantities of goats'-milk cheese are
manufactured, especially In Europe.
Practically all publications dealing
with milk goats attribute considerable
importance to the use Of the milk for
infants and invalids.

While supply and demand are the
principal factors which determine the
market price of a product, there are,
a number of other factors which may
be of considerable Importance to the
individual producer or shipper of hay.
Size and weight of bale, character of
inspection existing at prospective mar
preting the grades are among the
more important of these factors, say
marketing specialists of the bureau OF
markets, United States Department of
Agriculture.
Size and Weight Of Sale.
The preference for bales of GER
tain size and weight is so marked in
some of the important markets that
premiums ranging from so cents to 81
per ton are paid for bales of the size
and weight desired. Bales may be
roughly classed as small, medium and
large In size. The small and medium
sizes are sometimes designated~as one

perpetual press and are II or IS by
% inches and about 36 inches long.
Large bales are usually made in box
presses and are about 10 by % by 40
Inches.
The weight varies considerably. even
though the bales are OF the same size,
as hay is pressed under varying con-
ditions and by balers having a wide
range In tension. According to the de-
partment's marketing specialists hay
should be pressed sufficiently tight
that the wires will hold well, and so
that the required weights can be load
ed into cars. Difficulty is experienced
In some sections In loading cars to the
minimum weight. because the hay Is
pressed too loosely.
The character of the inspection
service varies considerably in differ
ent markets. Besides the various

About the first question that most
people ask concerning milk goats Is.
How much milk will they producer
This is, Of course. a very important
consideration, as the value of a doe
is estimated largely by her milk pro-
duction. Even II a doe Is purebred,
she is Of little value from the utility
standpoint unless she is capable Of
giving good quantity of milk. Many
persons In purchasing purebred or even
grade goats have been disappointed to
find that the milk could be measured
in pints and not quarts or gallons as
expected.
A doe that produces three pints a
day is considered only a fair mixer,

MOST DESIRABLE
POULTRY FLAVOR
Much Depends on Distribution Of
Both Flesh and Masses of
Fat Over Carcass.
FLESH OF FEMALE IS MILDER
Exercise Toughens Fibers and Connec-
nective Tissues and Lessons Amount

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of AgricultureD
Desirable quality in the flesh OF
poultry intended for table use depends
on the flavor Of the flesh; on the tex
ture; on the amount Of flesh in pro
portion to the weight Of the bird; and
on the distribution of both the flesh
and the larger masses of fat over the
carcass. Other things being equal, the
flesh Of the females usually is milder
than that of the males, say home
States Department of Agriculture.
Caponlzlng makes the flavor Of cocks
more delicate, tends to produce finer
and less tough muscle fibers, and in
creases the size Of the masses of meat,
especially in the breast.
Effects Of Age on Flavor.
Age tends to increase flavor, at first
advaDtageously, but later usually, dis
advantageously. Most very young
birds have a flavor too mild to be sat
isfactory for stewlng or fricassee, but
make splendid eating as. broilers or

ly is lost In decidedly old birds. AS
the bird grows older, the proportion
of flesh to bone usually increases, at
least up to the period of full matur-
ity. Often the large masses of flesh
found on such birds can be utilized
more satisfactorily than the smaller
ones found on young and scrawny
chickens.
Exercise affects the flavor and tex
ture Of poultry flesh, as in any kind
of meat. 1t toughens the fibers and
the connective tissues, and lessons the
amount of fat. 1t may also affect the
distribution Of flesh on the carcass in
creasing the naturally strong, tough
muscles rather than the less-used ten
der ones. In some birds, notably
chickens, the exercise can be con-
trolled. Almost any poultry, however,
can safely be penned for few days
before killing.
The difference between the flesh Of
a plump chicken and of lean one
of similar kind and age is due princi-
