carefully ascertained by experiments, that it
takes more wheat to barrel of flour now
than while the weather was cold and the air
dry; 1t also takes more wheat now than in

wheat handled in the same way ten days ago
go pounds made barrel, then it took 275,
21I, $50. 2S5 and back to 277. That is,
some days it takes, by test, 10 pounds more
OF the same wheat to make a barrel of flour,
owing to the changed conditions of the at
