tains a smaller number. of grains BY
measure than the undamaged.
Such differences are more or less In
proportion to the weight of the meas
ured bushel. However, in sample of
Canadian marquis weighing 63 pounds
per bushel, there were found larger
number of grains than in a good 81
pound Dakota sample. In this case
the better shape of the kernel probably
was responsible for the heavy bushel
weight.
termination of grain does not de-
pend. primarily upon its weight. 1t is
well known that immature seeds germ
mate surprisingly we'll. The embryo is
developed first and the filling out with
food material goes on to longer or
shorter period according to conditions.
It should be remembered that good
grain of wheat is somewhat of an un-
natural product, containing a greater
amount of food materials than usually
necessary for growth. A large part Of
this is good insurance against unfavor-
able conditions. The larger grain has
a greater reserve and is more nearly
certain to give the young plant good
start. But under average conditions.
somewhat smaller grain will serve and
a considerably shrunken one may sue
ceed.
If shrunken grain is seeded at the
usual rate by measure, and conditions
are favorable for growth, the result is
a thick stand in which the plants are
incapable Of proper development.
Wheat which cannot be graded to
about 55 pounds per bushel had best
not be used. That which weighs be-
tween SO and IS pounds before grad
ing, if not otherwise damaged, can be
graded to remove the poorest third or
half and sown about one peck lighter
than usual.

pound for pound for corn silage, not
more than 80 to 35 pounds should be
fed daily per head to milk COWS as
larger amounts are likely to affect the
quality of both milk and butter, un.
favorably. The potatoes should be
chopped the same as beets or turnips
and should be reasonably free from
dirt.
The foregoing statements apply to
average condition in which feeds are
substituted for one another in rations
that are otherwise satisfactory. 1t is
impossible to make general statements
that will apply in all cases as the
quality Of the feed, the individual likes
and dislikes of the cows, the kinds and
amounts of feeds used all affect the
values Of the others. For instance,
cows producing milk need considerable
amounts of substance called protein.
The amount of protein in feeds varies
greatly. Bran is much richer in pro-
tein than potatoes, and therefore, if
o4uA Is lHCluucu Ill ruIlOQ Cn0C Is
lacking in protein it may appear more
valuable than the above figures indi-
Gated. On the other hand, if no silage
or roots are being fed, potatoes may
appear relatively more valuable than
shown here. Because of their succu-
lent or watery nature, they will in.
crease the palatability of the ration,
stimulate the appetites of the cows and
thus induce greater feed consumption
with resulting increased milk produc.
ton.
The relatively low feeding value Of
potatoes is due chiefly to the large
amount of water they contain. On the
average potatoes contain 70 per cent
of water whereas feeds such as bran
oats, barley or corn, all of which ap
pear perfectly dry, contain from 10 tt
12 per cent of water. The dry or solid
material in potatoes has about the
same feeding value as that in the
grains, but while 100 pounds of pota
toes furnish only 21 pounds of dry mat
ter, oats, barley and corn furnish q
to 80 pounds.

BIG PROBLEM TO

Head Is Most Popular Commercially,

Bid in Favor Of Home Gar.
den-Piant Early.

Lettuce growing Is becoming a SCI
ence. since this best-of-all salad vege-
tables has. become staple article of
diet, and is in the market 1856 days of
the year. Commercially the head let
tuce has almost displaced the older
leaf varieties, but the home gardener
knows that leaf lettuce is the earliest
of all and just as finely favored and
tender us the big cabbage varieties. 1t
is also the first lettuce to mature for
table use, so small planting of good
leaf variety Is advisable to give crop
before the head varieties are ready to
cut.
I'D for Popularity.
Romaine or cos lettuce is making a
very successful bid for home-garden
popularity. 1t is much easier to grow
than the head lettuces, especially after
the weather Is warm, and it Is fully
as delicate.
The leaves, being long and narrow.
and growing upright, naturally blanch
the heart and this process is easily
assisted by tying the tips of the leaves
together lightly. 1t natures quickly.
Sowngs Of leaf. head and cos let
tuce give good succession.
The real way to get head lettuce that
will really head, and the only way. is
to start the plants either indoors or
in hotbed or cold frame, when the
weather will not permit planting in
the open and have the plants growing
along to transplant as soon as the
weather permits. Lettuce can be grown
In the open ground for the greater part
of the winter in many portions of the
South and in others, with cold frame
protection. 1t car be kept going all

THEIR DOMESTIC AFFAIRS
AIRED IN CALEDONIA PARK

Chauffeur William Clooney of the
police department was detailed 10
Water and Lewis streets shortly al
ter dark last night to investigate a
report that a young girl had fired a
revolver shot at a man companion.
A search of the district revealed the
couple in Caledonia Park and the
resulting investigation proved that
the girl was the mans wife and that
she had disagreed with an outing
taken by her husband on Monday
night.
Angered at her attitude the man
had picked up a large stone and
hurled it to the sidewalk. The
crash sounded like a shot and was
responsible for the call at police
headquarters. When Clooney ar
rived he found that the couple had
evidently settled the trouble and
there was no cause for arrest The

LIGHTS CO OUT;
LIGHTNING HITS
Stores and Homes Without
Public Service PoWer-.Ele-
vator is Stranded

Part of the city supplied with elec-
trio light and power by the Public
Service Company. was without any
supply for about four hours last
night. the result of mishap to the
lighting and power system caused
by the thunder and lightning storm
shortly after o'clock. Stores along
Smith street were without
electric lights or electric
power, the moving picture performs
ances ut the Strand and Crescent
theatres could not be given and an
elevator running in the Raritan
building became stalled between
floors.
It was rot until about 10 o'clock
that repairs had been made by the
Public Service Company so that
lights and power were again obtain
able. Officials of the Public Service
Company today refused to give any
information as to the cause OF the
suspension of power and light, stat
irg that nc report had been received
by them as yet from those who in
vestigated the mishap.
The high winds accompanying the
downpour of rain and intermittent
flashes of lightning, did considerable
Damage to wires, trees, poles, signs
and windows. The shower shortly
after o'clock was not of sufficient
duration to cause any serious wash
outs of floods in the city. Another
shower visited the city about $3.50
o'clock, but this did not have the in
tensity of the first.
The showers were the first real
thunder storms of the year, plenty
of warning being given by both. The
city lightii,g system was not AFFECT
ed by the rain or wind. The high
wind caused an unusually high tide
and for a time it looked as though
some of the boats hauled out along
the shore would suffer considerably
but they escaped damage by inches.
When the power was shut on the
elevator in the Raritan Building was
between two floors, the operator be-
ing the only occupant. The car
could not move as the result Oh the
current being shut off and the work
Of cranking the heavy car down ny
hand was started. 1t required almost
an hours work to drop the car suf-
ficiently to allow the imprisoned
operator to get out.
At the height of the storm light
ming struck the high tension wires
of the Public Service Company on
High street near the Roessler &
Hasslacher manufacturing plant.
Seven wires carrying 2.400 volts
each received the shock of the light
ming bolt and a spectacular display
of shooting streaks of fire resulted.

served the incident and made a re-
port to Desk Lieutenant John Nor
ris at police headquarters. 1t Is
thought that this occurrence may
have been responsible for the stop

of the city.
