What Can Be Kept Without Losing
Value.

In a recent argument on our streets
prominent farmer told of an expert
ment THAT had been made with wheat.
showing conclusively that lit can be
kept for quite a while without losing
in value. Farmers generally suppose
there is loss in shrinkage and weigh
of wheat between harvest time and
winoer, which leads many ito sell new
wheat early if THE prices be fairly
good.
This Theory, says this farmer, is all
wrong, and when it becomes known
to the growers, will reslt in holding
the cereal until later in the fall or
winter than is the custom now. A
flour barrel was filled with wheat
threshed in July, dry and in good con-
dition. 1t weighed 210 pounds (barrel,
10 poundsl, and was kept in dry
place, gimlet holes being bored i'm the
barrel to prevent heating. Occasion
ally barrel and contents were weighed,
and lit was found THAT lit did mot wary
except in damp seasons, when lit in
creased three-fourlths of "a pound. AT
the end of the twelve months, ending
last week, THE weight was just the
same to THE ounce, ais it was one year
ago, or the day ON which the wheat
was stored away.
