SnRINKAGE IN MEASURES. 1t is
not unusual to hear people boast that
they buy things at Wholesale, in order
to get the benefit Of low rates. If
the articles arc to be consumed in a
short time, it is, no doubt, an excel
lent practice; but if they arc to be
some time on hand, it is questionable
if much is mndc by it. This is espe-
c'"l'> tn" II the "tticlc is to be sold
again, instead of kept for ones cwn
consumption. Few people havo any
idea of tho great amount of shrinkage
in almost everything, in very short
time. We have seen one hundred
bushels of carefully measured pota.
toes, when ccllared in the fall, yield
only eighty in the spring and we
have no doubt but that from ten to
twenty per cent, is lost on any farm
produce kept over few months after
maturity. This is the experience Of
others. \ correspondence the Coun.
fry Gentleman found tho following
results in corn. He says: go :
We weighed large basket of. corn
when about through husking,
November 3 lst, 1868, ,and placed
it up in tho wood-shcd till January
l5th--two and half months; thon
weighed, sholicd, and weighed the
grain. After computing, wr have the
following results: 81 pounds offears
at husking, or S3 pounds in the mid
die of winter, produce a bushel Of
corn-56 pounds. The corn twelve.
rowed white flint) was not quite as
ripe as usual when stored, neither
have We had as drying winds this
winter. Seventy pounds of ears of
dry corn is the rule for busheLfand
is probably the nearest correct, as3the
cobs wero damp when we shelied the
the corn. In ordinary seasons eighty
one pounds would bo sufficient at
husking to make a bushel. A small
cob, with eight rows, would dry,much
faster and give different results: 40
would different varieties of corn.
