When To Sell Grain And Farm Produce.
Grain it should be sold in the fall Even if the price it should be small, For if you keep it till the spring Sometimes a less price it doth bring. For grain with whole world doth compete, You cannot raise the price of wheat, Then at once you should embark it On its way to world's market. We hope our views you don't despise, For grain doth shrink in weight and size, If you sell wheat you can get gold, Retain it, damp may make it mould. Remember too that of your wheat The rats of it will fondly eat, Sell it and money then invest, And you can get good interest. The same remarks apply to cheese, It shrinks and frosts make it to freeze, Then careful man you have to hire At great expense to keep up fire. If you your produce quick do move, The business soon it will improve, And then mankind will you bless For alleviating their distress. And it pays best to sell each pig, Plump and young, not old, fat and big, Young and tender now's the vogue Either in cattle or in hog.
