3 pes S VALTE OF GEADING PROVED It Bas been demonstrated many times St in the markets-of the world the wfler with the best-graded products ‘is the favorite, because graded goods are standard and the buyers knows what he will get when he buys. Standardiza- don establishes a common language be- ‘ween the buyer in one country and the sller in another, which creates under- standing and confidence and Prevents itputes.

Their ussfuiness, how- Gver, depends more upon the condition or their teeth than upon their actual age. Fine wool ewes usunally remain useful to a later age. It is a good plan to sell aged ewes before they become too run down to be valuable to the butcher. The ewes that give the most milk and raise the best lambs, are likely to be quite thin at this time and should mot be judg- ed by their appearance. Nonbreeding ewes, poor milkers, light shearers and mothers of inferior lambs should be marked as their defects are discovered and’ should be disposed of at this time. Their places should be filled by the best vidualé among the yearling ewes and from the best breed- ing older ewes. PARCEL POST MARKETING. One of the ‘most important require ments in parcel post marketing is the bringing of the producer and the con- sumer ‘into business contact, say special- sts of the United States Department of Agriculture. This may be attained by nal acquaintance, through the ac- quaintance of a third person, by adver- tising in an appropriatcly selected pa- post office in- the city or town in which a customer is sought. Once a satisfactory parcel post bus- s is established with or through an uaintance, other customers are like- ly to be secured through the first one. Advertising frequently may bring = the producer into touch with a prospédctive purchaser. Some papers run a special parcel post’ advertising department or in e I & T who need its products—irom quaint The sign of 2 refiable deale: old Amherst, New Ham and the worldk best Gasoline g { Harbor, Long Island.

CORN CRIB CAPACITY IN BUSHELS. Do ‘you know how much corn is left in ‘your crib, or liow many bushels a given space will contain? If you know ! the rules for -estimating quantit of stored graip the problem is sit @-le. In estimating the number of bushels of corn in a crib find the number of cubic feet in the pile Of ear corn and divide this product by % 1-4. The result thus obtained represemts the number of bushels of shelled corn in the pile of edrs and is a fair approximation for well-settled ear corn of good quality. Howevyer, if the corn is of poor quality a higher factor should be used, say 2 3-8 or 2 1-2. A standard bushel contains 2,150.42 cubic inches, or neariy T 1-¢ cvubic feet. This is a bushel *- measure, of shelled corn or of grains. A bushel of corn®on ear varies widely in volume and may occupy more or considerably less than twice the space occupied by a bushel of elled corn. On the average 2 1 sound ear corn shelled corn. If the crib is wider at the top th: at the botiom. find the by “adding toggther the cubic feet of gucd will make a bushel of an y “the bottom' and at the top of the corn and dividing by 2. Then multiply this av- erage width by the height and length to find the cubic contents and divide by 2 1-4 to find the number of bushels of corn, in the crib, The cubic contents of a round erib are found by multiplying together the area of the base and the heiziit cf the crib. The area of the base Is found by the formula used for finding the area of a circle; that is, by multiplying the dlameter by itself and this product by 0.785 Then multiply by the hefght and ‘divide by 2 1-4 as before and. you have “the number of bushels of shelled corn. In buying or selling ear corn by weight, which is the general practice, it is cus- tomary to allow 70 pounds of air-dried ear corn to the bushel. This quantity of | ear corn will give about 56 pounds of shelled corn (or an even bushel, or 2,150.42 cubic inches) and 14 pounds of cobs. Theer is some variation from this figure dus to difference in percentage of grain to cob and to the weight of measured bushel of shelled corn To estimate the number of bushels in a bin of shelled corn, mu! y together the length, breadth and height in feet of the pile of corn and &vide by 1 1-4. If the dimensions are in inches, multiply t gether the length, breadth and height in inches and divide by 2,150. This same rule can be used for measuring or esti- mating the number of bushels of other grain, as wheat, rve, oats, etc. The co tents' of a round or cylindrical bin found by multiplying the area of the: base by the height, as directed for finding the contents of 2z, round crib.
