458. The State treasurer, upon the warrant of the comptroller,
shall allow and pay over to the weigher-general and the other

weighers, one-fourth cent per bushel upon all grain weighed by
them, provided the same shall not amount to more than two
thousand dollars in the aggregate for any one year for the
weigher-general, and the sum of sixteen hundred dollars for each

weigher, it being intended not to pay said officers in gross more
than two thousand dollars to the weigher-general and sixteen
hundred dollars to each assistant.

Ibid.

459. Said weighers shall carefully weigh one bushel in every
sixty of wheat, and one bushel in every one hundred of corn, rye
and oats, for the purpose of ascertaining the average weight of
the cargo or parcel of grain; and in weighing grain sold it shall
not be necessary to measure sixty bushels of wheat, or one hun-
dred bushels of other grain, before taking a draft for weighing;
but it shall be the privilege of either party, at any stage of the
delivery of the grain, to require that any intermediate draft shall
be weighed; and if each party shall have caused an intermediate
draft to be weighed, the average weight of the two drafts shall
be taken as the accurate weight of the said sixty, or one hundred
bushels, as the case may be; and in case only one of the parties
shall require an intermediate draft to be weighed, then the
average of the said intermediate draft and the weigher's draft
shall be taken as the weight of said sixty bushels, as the case
may be.

Ibid.

460. The term grain used in this sub-title of this article shall
be construed to mean wheat, rye, oats, corn, buckwheat and
barley; and the standard weight of wheat shall be sixty pounds to
the bushel; rye and corn each fifty-six pounds to the bushel, and
oats twenty-six pounds to the bushel; buckwheat forty-eight
pounds to the bushel, and barley forty-seven pounds to the bushel;
