How Stored Grain Shriuks,

The advantage to the farmer of
storing his grain and holding it till
spring is not always represented by
the increased price he may get for it.
The shrinkage during the winter stor-
age must be taken into consideration,
and this shrinkage not infrequently
more than offsets the increased price.
In such cases it pays the farmer to
sell his grain as soon as II is in shape
vestigat lions have been made to dis
cover the percentage of shrinkage in
various grains. The results have varied
immensely. In some of the humid
States and with early gathered crops
the shrinkage has been as high as 30
to 40 per cent. while grain raised in
arid States and hauled to humid States
and stored has gained in weight dur
ing storage. The shrinkage Of wheat
has not generally been as great as that
of some other grains
Wheat stored in Michigan elevators
lost from to 16 per cent during win
ter. A lot of corn very heavy and lit
tie dry at the time of storing lost 80
per cent in weight by February. Tests
made in other States have shown
shrinkages Of 10 to Is per cent. One
lot Of corn that was gathered at the
time Of year when it was we'll glazed
but containing as large an amount Of
water as possible and passed in a
State fair competition, shrank about
40 per cent. Oats shrink little, but are
recorded to have lost about 4 per cent
in weight during winter.-St. Louis
Republic.

The fodder shredder is doing good

The Walking Gait.


Walking Is one of the gaits that is
nearly always neglected. and yet an
active, quick. clearfoOted walk is a
valuable gait to the horse intended
for the farm. for use as a roadster or
for saddler. A horse broke to har-
ness is generally trained for while at
the side of some steady old animal
and the youngster. if inclined to walk
fast, soon begins to learn that it is not
the thing to do. For that reason it Is
best to break young horse in single
harness or under the saddle. and train
him to be a good walker as well as
good at other gats. A 3-year-old Is
generally a better walker than he will
be at any other age if he is kept as
harness horse, unless specially trained
with view to brisk. active movement
in that gait.-St. Louis Globe Demo-
