Ho'VV 0 -rain will Shrink.'
Farmers rarely gain by keeping
their grain atter itis 'fit for market.
when the shrinkage is taken into ae-
count. Wheat, from the time it is th-
reshed, will shrink two quarts to the
bushel or six. per cent. in six rnonthi,
in the most favorable circumstance&
Hence, it follows that ninety-four cents
a bushel for wheat when first threshed
in August, is as good, taking into ac-
count the shrinkage alone, as one dc6-
lar in the following February. Cora
shrinksmuchmore from the time it is
first husked. One hundred bushels of;
ears, as they come from the field in
November, will be reduced to not far
frdm eighty. So that forty cents a
bushel for corn in the ear, as it comes
from the field, is as good as fifty in
Mauch,, shrinkage only being taken in --
to account. In the case of potatoes—
taking those that rot and are otherwise
lost -together with the shrinkage, there
is but little boubt that between October
and June, the loss to the owner who
holds them is not less then thirty-three
per cent. This estimate is taken ora
the basis of interest at 7 per cent. am!.
takes no account of loss by yerrnin.
