The fact that we bavi quails of two capacities brings about a little misunderstanding. Dry measure, ss the name Indicates, Is lor measuring grains of all sorts, potatoes, berries, and everything that Is not liquid. Wben tbe merchant sells these artloles by tbe liquid quart, he Is not selling km mo xnhln InnhM: In lh( H quni ii vuoiq my v(? vmw.v ??.y llquidiquart there are 5.77 6 lncbea. There an 32 quarts to the bushel dry measure: liquid measure 37.4 quarts. So the sellerjtnakee & quarts on the bushel when be sells by llqak measure. Take white peas for example. Th< price Is cow IS cents a quart. If the Mllei wcfuId use tbe tbe dry measure he would gel $4.80 a bushel. UslDg liquid measure ha geti 5 91, or 81 cents more on tbe bushel. In largt cities and In some not as large as this tbe drj measure quarts are used. We suggeat to th< city council tbat tbey take this matter u; and put our town In line with other cltlei and cause all persons, whether merchants oi farmers to adopt tbe proper measure In bay lng and selling.
