WEIGHTY POINTS
ON ALFALFA HAY
Some Important Factors Cited
That Help to Determine Mar
ket Prices of Product.
SIZE AND WEIGHT OF BALES
Inspection Service Varies Consider
ably at Different Centers Few
Bales of Off-Grade Hay Will
Hurt Grade of Car.
(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment pt Agriculture.)
While supply and demand are the
principal factors which determine the
market price of n product, there aro
a number of other factors which may
be of considerable Importance to the
Jmllvlduul producer or shipper of hay.
Slzo and weight of bale, chnrncter of
inspection existing at prospective mar
ket, grading and the manner of Inter
preting the grades are among the
more Important of these factors, say
mnrkctlng specialists of tho bureau of
markets. United States Department of
Agriculture.
Size and Weight of Bale.
The preference for bales of a cer
tain size and weight Is so marked In.
oonie of the Important markets that
premiums ranging from 50 cents to $2
per ton are paid for bales of the size
nnd weight desired. Bales may be
roughly classed as small, medium nnd
large In size. The small and medium
sizes are somptlrnes designated as one
quarter nnd one-third bnles. The small
bales are made in a perpetual press
and are 14 or 10 by 18 Inches, varlablu
In length but usually about 30 Inches
long. Medium bnles are also mndc in
n perpetunl press nnd are 17 or 18 by
22 Inches nnd about 30 Inches long.
Largo bales are usually made In box
presses nnd nre about 10 by 23 by 40
Inches.
The weight vnrles considerably, even
though the bnles arc of the same size,
as buy is pressed under varying con
dition and by balers having a wide
range In tension. According to the de
partment's marketing specialists liny
should be pressed sufficiently tight
thnt the wires will hbld well, aud so
that the required weights can be lond
ed Into cars. Difficulty Is experienced
In some sections In loading cars to tho
minimum weight, because the hay is
pressed too loosely. 1
The character of the Inspection
service vnrles considerably In differ
ent markets. Besides the various
Selling Hay by the Auction Method at
a Market Using a "Plug" Method of
Inspection.
methods, now generally designated as
warehouse, car-door, plug and halo In
spection, there Is a difference In apply
ing the grades. Some lbspoctors give
tho entire carload the grade of tho
poorest quality of hay found In It.
Other Inspectors endeuvor to apply an
average grade.
Some of these practices nre hnrdly
fair to the shipper, but so long ns they
exist tho shipper must meet tho situa
tion In the best mnnner possible. Uni
form loading is probnbly one of tho
most Important methods of obtaining
satisfactory grades,
Mixed Cars Unsatisfactory.
In some sections the alfalfa mead
ows aro allowed to stand until they
contain a largo quantity of weeds
and grass. In other sections other
grasses nre sown with the alfalfa for
hay. When loading any mixture the
grentest care should be exercised to
have the hay loaded Into any one enr
all of tho same degree of mixture.
This suggestion applies also trt hay of
different quality because of bleaching
or dnmage.
Many shippers make the mistake of
thinking that a few bales of ofT-gr,ade
hay will not hurt the grnde of a car
but will bo accepted along with tho
good hay or at only a small discount.
Unless the market Is very strong the
hay usually will be accepted only at
a heavy discount, nnd frequently the
whole enr will be rejected. If the car
Is accented It will be taken only nt the
price value of the poorest hay found
In the enr.
For best results In marketing alfalfa
bureau of markets officials caution
shippers:
To ship bales of size and weight de
sired by buyer.
To ship grade desired nnd not to In
clude hay of other grades or mixtures.
To Insist upon official Inspection
certificates which show tho actual
grade of tho hay In the car If cars nre

tors located nt Important markets.

VALUE OF DOCKAGE IN WHEAT
Material Sometimes Contains QuantU
tie's of Nutritious Grain,
Good for Farm Use.
Dockage found In whent In some In
stances Is of real value, while In oth
ers It not only may have no value but
often may contnln Ingredients that aro
positively harmful If ground with tho
whent, sny specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
The value of dockage, therefore, de
pends on the vnluo of the material
separated from the wheat. Dockngo
frequently contains quantities of nutri
tious grain nnd. weed seeds, as flax
seed, wild oats, or other cereal grains.
.Much of this mnterlal can be used to
good advantage as poultry or ' stock
feed. Wild mustard and flaxseed
can bo removed from the dockage In
prnctlcnlly a pure state by tho use of
special cleaning machinery, such as la
sometimes found in terminal elevators
and tho larger flour mills, but even
then .the cost of cleaning will be con
slderable, and when so separated will
ordinarily command a fair price.
Under the dockage system of tho
federal standards, the amount of for
eign material separated and consld
ercd as dockage is deducted from tho
weight of the wheat purchased and,
la any event, does not affect the grade
of tho clean wheat. This results In a
higher grade and the' price pnld Is on
tho basis of this grade for the dockage-
free wheat.
CULLING OF CHICKEN FLOCKS
One Virginia Farmer Reports Selllntf
Fowls to Amount of $70 without
Lessening Eggs.
Good reports continue to come Into
the county agent at Smyth county,
Vn., from those who hnve taken ad
vantage of the poultry-culling work
given by him. There Is still a great
demand for Information concerning the
culling of flocks. One farmer reports
thnt he sold chickens amounting to
$70 without reducing his egg produc
tion ut nil. Another reports that he
sold poultry amounting to $72.50 and
Is now getting Just as many eggs aa
before.
RENOVATE OLD POTATO BINS
All Growers Are Warned to Thoroughly
Disinfect All Storage Places
Before Using.
Kvery grower who experienced trou
ble with dry rot In his potatoes Is
warned by A. O. Tolaas of University
farm, chief Inspector of the potato need
department, to disinfect thoroughly all
bins before using them again. Either u
solution of formaldehyde in ten gal
Ions of water, or a solution of blue-
stone (copper sulphate) consisting of
one pound of the milestone dissolved
In ten gallons of water, should be used
for this purpose.
DAIRY
FACTS
SUCCULENT FEED FOR DfclRY
Modern Machinery for Planting and
Cultivating Roots Makes Work
Less Laborious.
(Prepared by tho United States Depart
ment or Agriculture.)
With the development of the silo
many dnlry ,cow owners have over-
ooked the vnluo of roots as n succu
lent feed for cattle. Mangel-wurzel,
beets, carrots, and turnips aro tho prin
cipal roots grown for this purpose.
They nre particularly adapted to the
cooler and more moist portions of the
country. The principal drawback to
their use Is tho labor of growing, har
vesting and storing them. On tho
oilier hand, sny specialists of the Uni
ted States Department of Agriculture,
Mot crops have a distinct ndvantngo
for small dairies, a8 It Is generally ac
cepted that n silo will not prove eco
nomical where less than six animals
are being fed. Roots mny ho stored
In a proper cellnr, or burled In tho
ground, and can be taken out In any
desired qunntlty without Injury to the
remainder.
A surprising amount of roots enn
be produced on n small acreage. A
yield of 25 tons per acre of mangel-
tvurzcls Is nothing unusual, while In
England, where roots nro used nlmos't
entirely to supply succulent food, the
yield per acre Is lncrensed still further
by Intensive farming.
Other kinds of beets, nnd also tur
nips nnd carrots, mny bo used. Tur
nips, however, should bo fed after
milking rather than before, as they
give a bad flavor to the product. Yel
low carrots Impart a deslrnblo color
to tho milk. For feeding purposes tho
mnngels will probably be found the
most practical beet. Among carrots,
tho Long Orange Is recommended be
cause of Its large size and heavy yield.
It forms a long, thick root, and Is very
easily grown. The White Vosges or
Belgian is grown pxcluslvcly for stock,
and Is an even hi-avler ylelder. The
rutabaga Is recommended as a good
turnip. The same soils nnd methods
of cultivating nre adapted to all three
kinds of roots.
. The soil should be well enriched, and
should be one thnt warms up quickly
In the spring. Most growers regard
sandy lontp as best adapted to the cul
ture of root crops, this being partic
ularly true of the early spring crop.
An Acre or Two of Roots Will Feed a
Small Dairy Herd.
For later crops heavy soils can be era
ployed, and muck soils nre widely used
for the midsummer nnd fnll .crops.
Land that Is In good physical -condition
ns the result of early and proper
bundling, well supplied with available
plant food and rich In orgnnlc mntter,
la essential to best results. Appli
cations of stnble manure nt the rate
of 20 to 30 tons por ilcre are advis
able, and this may profitably be sup
plemented by the use' of commercial
fertilizer containing at lenst 2 per
cent nitrogen, 8 per cent phosphoric
acid, and 4 per cent potash.
The seed Is sown Jn rows nt least
80 inches apart If horse cultlyatlon is
practiced, but under hnnd cultivation
tliey need not be more than 15 to 18
Inches. Ordinarily about 0 pounns
of beet seed per acre Is required. Seed
Is ordinarily covered to a depth of
to 1 Inch. As beet seed Is rather
slow In germination, the practice of
sowing some quick-sprouting seed
nlong with It lj sometimes followed.
These plants serve as markers for tho
rows before the beets are up, so that
cultivation may he begun before tho
Reefs show above the ground. Radishes
are frequently used for this purpose.
Beet seeds como In clusters, and it
Is Inevitable thnt thinning by hand
will be required.
Boots Intended for winter storage
are allowed to stand In the field until
Just before heavy autumn frosts oc
cur, when they are pulled nnd stored
In pits or cellars, requiring much the
same treatment as potatoes and sim
ilar root crops.
From 20 to 35 pounds of sliced or
pulped roots, with a proper grain ra
tion and dry foliage, is a day's ration
for nn ordinary dairy cow. Thus It
will be seen that 2 tons will enrry
a cow through the usual five-months'
winter feeding period. An acre or two
of beets, carrots and turnips should be
enough to supply any herd which la
not large enough to make a silo profit
able. With the development of the
sugar-beet Industry many Implements
and methods of culture have been de
vised which reduce the, labor required
to grow root crops.
