WEIGHTY POINTS
ON ALFALFA HAY
Some Important Factors Cited
That Help to Determine Mar
ket Prices of Product.
SIZE AND WEIGHT OF GALES
Inspection Service Varies Consider
ably at Different Centers Few
Bales of Off-Grade Hay Will
Hurt Grade of Car.
(Prepared by tlio United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
While supply and demand arc the
principal factors which determine tho
market price of u product, there are
a number of other factors which may
lie of considerable Importance to the
individual producer or shipper of hay.
Size and weight of bale, character of
Inspection existing nt prospective mar
ket, grading and tho manner of inter
preting the grades are among the i
more important 01 uicsc laciors, say
marketing specialists of the bureau of
markets, United States Department of
Agriculture.
Size and Weight of Bale.
The preference for bales of a cer
tain size mid weight Is so marked In
some of the Important markets that
premiums ranging from f0 cents to $2
per ton are paid for bales of tho size
and weight desired. Hales may be
roughly classed as small, medium and
large in size. The small and medium
sizes are sometimes designated as one
quarter and one-third bales. The small
bales are made In a perpetual press
and are 14 or 10 by 18 Inches, variable
In length but usually about HO Inches
long. Medium bales are also made Itrtj
u perpetual press and are 17 or 18 by
til! Inches and about !!! Inches long.
Large bales are usually made In boc
preves and are about 19 by 2', by -10
Inches.
The weight vnrles considerably, even
though the bales are of the same size,
us 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 sulllclently tight
that the wires will hold well, nud so
that the required weights can be load
ed Into cars. Dllllculty Is experienced
In some sections In loading cars to the
minimum weight, because the hay Is
presed too loosely.
The character of the Inspection
service varies 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, enr-door, plug and hale In
spection, there Is a difference In apply
ing tho grades. Some Inspectors give
the entire carload the grade of the
poorest quality of hay found In It.
Other Inspectors endeavor to apply nn
average grade.
Some of these practices nro hardly
fair to tho shipper, but so long ns they
exist the shipper must meet the situa
tion In the best manner possible. Uni
form loading Is probably one of the
most Important methods of obtaining
satisfactory grades.
Mixed Cars Unsatisfactory.
In some sections tho alfalfa mead
ows arc allowed to stand until they
contain a largo quantity of weeds
ami grass. In other sections other
grasses are sown with the alfalfa for
hay. When loading any mixture tho
greatest care should be exorcised to
have the hay loaded Into any one enr
nil of the same degree of mixture.
This suggestion applies also to hay of
different quality becnuso of bleaching
or dninage.
Many shippers niuke the mistake of
thinking thut a few bales of off-grade
hay will not hurt the grnde of a car
but will bo accepted along with the
good hay or nt only n small discount.
Unless tho market Is very strong the
liny usually will be ncoepted only at
a heavy discount, and frequently the
whole enr will bo rejected. If tho car
Is accepted It will be taken only at the
price value of tho poorest liny found
In the car.
For best results In marketing alfalfa
bureau of markets olllclals caution
shippers:
To ship hales of size and weight de
sired by buyer.
To ship grnde desired and not to In
clude hay of other grades or mixtures.

VALUE OF DOCKAGE IN WHEAT
Material Sometimes Contains Quanti
ties of Nutritious Grain,
Good for Farm Use.
Dockage found In wheat In some in
stances Is of real value, while In oth
ers It not only may have no value but
often may contain Ingredients that aru
positively harmful If 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. Dockago
frequently contains quantities of nutri
tious grain and weed seeds', as flax
seed, wild oats, or other cereal grains.
Much of this material can be used to
good advantage as poultry or stock
feed. Wild mustard nnd flaxseed
can he removed from the dockago In
practically a pure state by tho uso of
special cleaning machinery, such as is
sometimes found in terminal elevators
and the larger flour mills, but oven
then the cost of cleaning will be con
siderable, and when so separated will
ordinarily command u fair price.
Under the dockago system of the
federal standards, the amount of for
eign material separated and consid
ered ns dockage Is deducted from tho
weight of the wheat purchased and,
In any event, does not affect the grade
of the clean wheat. This results In a
higher grade and tho price paid Is on
the basis of this grado for tho dockage
free wheat.

ICxiuuples of l'uul's Missionary Methods.
I. Paul and Barnabas Preaching at
Iconlum (vv. 1-7).
As to their work In Iconlum ob
serve :
1. Their manner of preaching. This
Is suggested by the little word "so" In
verse 1. They "so" bpako that n great
multitude believed. They were true
preachers. Only that which brings con
viction of sin and Induces decision for
Christ can be truly said to bo preach
ing In the biblical sense. Tho same
Is true of the Sunday school teacher.
Let every Sunday school teacher at all
times have as his supreme aim to hear
the gospel of Christ so as to Induce
decision for Christ.
2. Their attitude toward opposition.
This Is suggested by the word "there
fore" In verso H. "Long tlmo therefore
they tarried." The opposition did not
prevent their preaching, but Incited
them to continue preaching. Christian
workers should learn not to give up
work because of opposition.
.. The Lord accompanied their
preaching with miracles (v. :i). Since
the opposition wns so fierce, special
help of the Lord was needed.
1. Tho effect of their preaching
(v. -I). The multitude of the city was
divided. Where men faithfully preach
the gospel there will be division.
II. Attempt to Worship Paul and
Barnabas as Gods (vv. S-18).
1. The occasion (vv. 8-10) tho heal
ing of the lame man. (Sod's gracious
power exhibited in healing this lame
man occasioned a new dllllculty. That
which ought to have been a help was
turned Into a hindrance. Tho ninii
was a confirmed cripple, lie had never
walked. lie heard Paul's preaching,
which caused faith to bo born In his
heart (Kom. 10:17). When Paul per
ceived that he trusted Christ, he called
with u loud voice that all could hear
for tho man to stand upright. The euro
was Instant, for Jio leaped up and
walked (v. 10). There was no mag
netic touch, no treatment, only the
command, and the naturally Impossible
became the possible and the real.
2. The method (vv. ll-l.'l). They
called Ilarnabas Jupiter and Paul Mer
cury, because he was tho chief speaker.
Tho priest of Jupiter brought oxen
and garlauds ready to offer sacrifices
unto those men (v. 11). If they had
only known, in tho person of Jesus
Christ Cod had actually appeared to
men (John 1:14; Phil. 2:7, 8).
!l. Their efforts frustrated (vv. 14
18). This foolish act was happily
averted by the tact of the apostles, as
exhibited In tho address of tho occa
sion. (1) They deny that they are di
vine beings and declare that to wor
ship beings with like passion to them
selves Is crlmlnnl. (2) They direct
them to turn away -from these vain
things unto the living Cod who made
heaven and earth and hns ever left
witness of Himself in that Ho has
always done good, giving rain nnd
fruitful sensons, filling their hearts
with gladness.
III. The Stoning of Paul (vv. 10-22).
Wicked Jews from Antloch nnd Ico
nlum pursued Pnul with relentless
hate to this place, wliero they stirred
up the very people who were willing
to worship them u little while ago.
This shows that satanlc worship can
soon be turned into satanlc hate. This
hatred took form In stoning Paul and
dragging him out of tho city for dead.
Cod raised him up, and with undaunt
ed courage ho pressed on with his du
ties as a missionary bearing the good
tidings to the lost.
Soon nfter this Paul turned back
and revisited the places where ho had
preuched, tolling them that through
great tribulation they must enter Into
the kingdom of God.
IV. The Organization of Churches in
the Field (vv. 2U-28).'
Hvnugellzatlon with Paul did not
mean n hasty and superficial preach
ing of the gospel but the establishment
of a permanent work. Hlilers were
appointed In every church. The work
of tho missionary Is not done until
there nro established on the field
self-governing and self-propngating
churches.
