low Afored Grain ~h-iuk..

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
vestigations have been made to dis.
cover the percentage of shrlnkage in
various grains. The results have varied
immensely. In some of the humid
States and with early gathered crops
the shrnkage has been as high as 80
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 shrnkage of wheat
has not generally been as great as that
of some other grains.
Wheat stored in Michigan elevators
lost from 5 to 1G per cent during win.
ter. A lot of corn very heavy and lit
lie dry at the time of storing lost 80
per cent in weight by February. Tests
made in other States have shown
shrlnkages of 10 to 1G per cent. One
lot Of corn that was gathered at the
time of year when it was well 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 per cent
in weight during winter--St. Louis
Republic.

even should that desirable condition
of affairs be reached 1t will still be
obligatory upon the milkman to see
that no opportunity Is afforded for the
contact of the tactical fluid with con-
terminated atmosphere in the stable.
Probably the best way In which this
can be accomplished Is by the aid Of
the pneumatic milking machine here
Illustrated. 1t is so arranged as to not
only milk the cows automatically, but
also incloses the milk in an alright
receptacle as long as 1t is In the prox-
Unity Of the animal. This Is accom-.
pllshed by reservoir suspended over
head and connected with the teat cups
by a short section of hose. By means
of vacuum created in the pipe to
which the reservoir Is attached the
milk Is drawn from the teats and de-
posted In the receptacle, whence it
can be removed to the creamery for
further treatment before being placed
on sale.

Some women save money for men

When a woman brags about a

The man who got up the theory that
you can save money by being married

cause she had been under treatment
