 troduced into this shipment.

1 The shrinkage in pounds, divided by the home weight gives the rate of shrinkage in pounds per 100 

 pounds or as a percentage of the home weight. 



The rate of 1.1 per cent was actually used in calculating the shrink- 

 age of the butcher hogs, but in the case of the packers 2 per cent was 

 used instead of 2.06 per cent. The stag and the cattle were charged 

 with their actual shrinkage.
