Responsa for Menachot 134:1

אי הכי אפילו חלה נמי אפשר דאפי לה פחות מחמשת רבעים קמח ועוד

<br> Then the same should be said of the dough-offering, should it not? - It is always possible [to avoid the dough-offering] by baking [quantities of dough each] less than five quarters of a kab and a little more of flour. Then with the terumah, too, it is always possible [to avoid the terumah] by acting according to R. Oshaia's ruling; for R. Oshaia said, A man can resort to a device with his produce and bring it in [to his house] together with the chaff, so that his cattle may eat of it and it is exempt from the tithe; or he can bring it in by way of the roof or by way of a back enclosure! - In the latter case, since it is done openly, he would be ashamed of it; but in the former case it is done in private and he would not be ashamed of it. <br>
