In prorating the returns for this shipment, the shrinkage is first 
ascertained separately for the butcher and the packer hogs as follows:

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.
