Good 1 `light is essential to grading, and |ins ection begins at nine a.m. l Ian ends at 3 p.m. Inspection 1 `turns mainly on three points: `the quality of the grain, the con. ] .dition, and the admixtures. The iquality depends on soundness. lCOl0I', weight and percentage of. hard wheat; the condition de-'1 pends upon moisture content,` which, in doubtful cases, is test--` led mechanically; heat, etc., the . admixtures are tested by a ro-. ;cess of sieving and weig ing called setting the dockage." `In ,!this process either the clean .|grain or the resulting screen-_ ,.ings can be weighed. Both are llaccurate. At Winnipeg the , screenings are weighed, while at Ft. William the clean grain is . weighed, therefore in re-g1-ading alone is a check on the other.

I The grain is graded as it is:. taken from the elevators and run ;into the `steamers. In order to eliminate delays, this grading is necessary. An inspector with as- sistants. is placed in charge of the grading, and is held respon-' sible for the grading out. The: grain is sampled at three places.` If any grain is seen at any of `these places which is not up to `the required grade, the stream is_ stopped instantly, and all three. samples are sent to the inspec- tion omce for examination. Equal care is taken by the Government to make the weighing of grain as accurate, and cause for as few disputes, as to the grading.
