GRAPHIC OBSERVATIONS.

In those days scales were scarce

country grist miILno way to weigh
grain. Grain brought TO the mill
occupied much more room than the
same grain carried home in meal or
flour. The miller was paid for grind
ing in certain fraction ofthe grain.
How was farmer to know If hewas
fairly dealt with Very easily. The
flour must first balance the same
stone which had before balanced the
grain then by measuring the flour,
it was easily divided, and the mill
er's toll honestly assigned him. So
