Ihavonot tried it;but I know that 66, to 67 pounds of old corn in the ear will make & bushel of aliolled corn, and it is probable that 70 pounds in tho oar of new corn will make 56 pounds of “shelled corn; if o, that is a bushel of com. As tho farmor bogins to underatand (Lo laws of trade, ho will bogin to understand his legal righta. _II tuo dealers pay 50 cents foxr 80 pounds of corn in tho car, the transaction cannot bo excopted to; but, if he buys my load of corn b 50 cents o bushel, hio has no right to demand 80 pounds in the ear, but Lo has u 1ight to what will make 66 pounds of shelled corn.

This is based on tho {doa as regards the proper time to realiza tho best price, alt things coueidered, and not tho noads of the farmer as regards monoy, 1t is o questlon if corn can hold up for any groat length of time.
