The old plan practiccd 10y our farm
ers when selling corn IN the ear was to
fill -four barrel with ears and call it a
bnshel and a-half of corn. BY this
arrangement, if the barrel was filed,
the buyer always had the advantage.
The mode now adopted by some parties
is To weigh the ears. allowing 70pounds
to the bushcl, and this is claimed to be
fair To both seller and buyer II hay
scales are convenient you can fill a
wagon or cart and weigh it by the load;
but if You have to use small scales, put
barrel on them. get the weight of the
barrel, then add seventy pounds for
bushel. or los pounds for bushcl and
a-half. and then you are ready to fill the
barrel until the desired weight is
reached.-S"m.r s,f H,rald.
