\\ rlhi, hb4 Measures.
To measure cora in the crib, twoonbie
feet of s mud, dry coru in the ear will
make a bnsht 1 of shelled corn.
To find the quantity of shelled corn in
a crib, measu:e the length, breadth, and
height of the crib, inside the rail; mul
tiply them together, and divide by two;
the result is the number of bushels of
shelled corn in the crib.
To find the number of bushels o
apples or potatoes iu a bin, multiply the
length breadth and thickness together,
and this product by eight, pointiug off
oue figure ia the product for decimal.
To estimate the amount of hav in a
mow—Five hundred cubic feet oi ordi
nary clover and timothy hay, packed
under ordinary circumstances, and set
tied three or four month®, will make a
CD.
Clear clover is much lighter, and re
quires nearly seven hundred cubic feet.
Red top is lighter still; and timothy cut
ripe is heavier than when in blossom.
0: course much depends upon the
quality and packing of the hay. The
government standard requires a cube of
seven and one-half feet for a ton; this
gives about 400 cubic feet.
To find the number of pouuds of hay
in a stack, multiplving the area of the
base by one-third the perpendicular
height, gives the cubic feet This rule
applies to a perfect cone, tapering gradu
ally to a point; for irregular figure®, no
rule can be given.
To find the contents of a barrel, add
double the square of the bung diameter
to the square of the head diameter, and
multiply by the diameter of the bead of
the cask. Divide this by 1,077 for ale
gallons of '282 cubic inches; or by 882
for wine gallons of 231 cubic inches.
How TO GAIN FLESH.—Drink a goblet
of good rich milk en ry night before re
tiring. This will oovr the scrawniest
of bones.
LOZESOES FOR BAD BREATH. —Gum
catechu, one ounce; white sugar, two
ounces; orris powder, half an ounce.
Mn them into it paste with mucilage,
and add a drop of neroli. One or two
may be sucked at pleasure.
PIMPLES. —Take a teaspoouful of oat
meal and cook in three tablespoonfuls
of water half an hour, then strain
through a thiu cloth, and apply with a
eoft sponge three t mee a day for two or
three months. This should be washed
off as soon as thoroughly dry. It will
cure pimples on the face, unless caused
by a diseased stomach.
To WHITES TEETH.— For whitening
the teeth there is nothing superior to
wood charcoal very tinely powdered.
Take a few shavings of castile soap, and
dissolve in spirits with the aid of heat.
Use this solution to make with the char
coal a very stiff paste, adding a little
syrup or honey to sweeten it, and scent
to suit
BORE THROAT, HEADACHE, COLD FEET,
ETC.— If those who are subject to sore
throats and the like, were to bathe the
neck with cold water in the morning
and use the fleah brush at night, it would
more than compensate them for the time
and trouble. There are many who suffer
from headache and oold feet If they
would plunge their feet in cold water
every morning and use the flesh brush
every night it would relieve them both.

How about ground bone for cows f
Groand bone fed in small quantities,
with salt, occasionally, is beneficial to
cows. They need a greater amount of
phosphate than is afforded in grasses.
By timely feeding of bone flour with
the weekly feed of salt abortion can be
prevented. Bones are alw > valuable as
feed for fowls. The trouble of crushing
or powdering them is amply paid for in
eggs and juicy meat for the table.

What is peanut oil used for ?
Peanut oil was introduced in the
South during the war in absence of
olive oil for household purposes. It has
become popular both on account of its
good qualities and its ch -apneas. It re
tains its purity and flavor for a long
time, and is less susceptible to the effect
of light than olive oil. The oil is ex
tracted by pressure from the nut only;
tho refuse is given as feed to cows or
used as a fertilizer.
Which are considered the liest beef
and which the best butter breeds i
An experienced cattle breeder of
Tennessee thus classifies the different
breeds of cattle as to relative merits:
The Jersey, the butter breed; the De
von, a beef or fancy breed; the short
horn and Hereford, the beef producing
breeds; Ayrshire and Holstein, the milk
and cheese producing breeds.

This supposed disease is nothing more
or less than hollow stomach, empty
stomach, ill-treatment of some kind.
The following are among the most fre
quent causes: Allowing cattle to stand
outdoors in frost, snow, mud and rain;
and, if housed, allowing them to stand
in a dirty, leaky house or shed. Of all
the ill-treatment to cattle, the latter is
the worst. For illustration: I can
take either horse or oow and confine in
a narrow place, direct a continual drop
ping of water on its head and it will be
either crazy or dead in forty-eight hours.
This beiug the case, is it any wonder
that the poor animal's brains wonld be
come inflamed ? This contracts the
usual amount of blood from the horns,
thus making them feel oold and appeal
empty.

A NIGHT LODGER.
When 1 was iu my twelfth year, papa
aud uiatau i made up their minds to
take a pleasure trip to the " Far Went."
This was sou thing unusual; they sel
dom left home. Well, they went, and
uy two sisters, two brothers and myself
had a gay time " houaekeepiug."
One day, all except myself aud our
servant girl were invited to a dinner
party. 1 confess I dreaded to have
them go.
" Kate, we will bring you any amouut
of candy."
" Now, j>e, you know you and Sally
cau stay here just as well as not."
44 Don't lie a baby, Kitty " —were the
words directed to me.
Finally I reel,. .edly bade them 44 get
out of my sight."
Sally and t were good friends; she
told me stones aud sang songs till 1 be
gan to think it was quite a fiue thing to
be left at home.
Tired of staying in the house, I sauu
tered down the front walk, and amused
myself by indulging iu a forbidden
pleasure—swinging ou the gate.
Looking down the road, I spied a man
com ug along. I flew to the house, and,
satistb d that he was coming in, I ran to
Sally, Seizing her dress with both
hands, I exclaimed:
44 Oh, Sally ! there is a dreadful look
ing man coming in."
Sally picked up the poker anil walked
to the door, while 1, imitating her ex
ample, snatched a stick of wood. Sud
denly Sally cried:
44 You little goose, it is Bill Mo-
Carty 1"
Sure enough, it was Sally's beau. Her
mother was very sick, and McCarty was
sent to bring Sally home immediately.
Here was a dilemma. Sally didn't
want to leave me, and unless she started
home then, she might not see her moth
er alive. It was nearly time for the rest
of the folks to come home, so I mauagisi
to raise courage enough to say 1 was
willing to remain alone.
Iu a few minutes Sally was off, and 1
was left in possession of our great
house, which never seemed so large to
me before. 1 tried to read, but it wa->
impossible; all the murder stories I had
ever heard came to my mind.
I remembered that none of onr doors
could be locked. Papa, who had a few
strange ideas, declared locks were a
nuisance. I felt that I was doomed.
I weut out to the yard, and, to my
dismay, discovered that the sky was
overcast and a storm Liar at hand. I
could see the rain coming; faster and
faster it came; it was soon at the house.
Oh, how it did rain !
On each side of our yard was a brook,
pretty and peaceful in pleasant wi-ather,
but a very little rain transformed them
both into raging torrents.
As I stood at the window I saw first
one bridge, and then the other, swept
off. I knew now that I must stay alone
all night; it would be impossible for my
brothers ami sisters to get home.
Travelers, or, as Sally called them,
" trampers," often stopped at our house
over night, as there was no public house
uear. To my horror, I now saw one of
them coming across the fields. Should
I hide I No, that was not to be thought
of. Withont stopping to knock, the
graj^rough man walked in.
" Can I stay here all night t"
I dared not refuse him, so, as firmly
as I could, answered :
" Yes."
He seemed lrprised at seeing uo one
but myself, ai.J questioned mo mnch.
I told him my brother was tip stairs <
writing ; that we two were alone, ihat
was the first thing that entered my -
head to tell him. Such a villainous
countenance that man hail!
His hair was cat close to his head,
leaving his huge ears in bold relief, i
Wicked looking eye=, and a brutal
mouth, oompleted his general expres
sion of ferocity.
Bedtime came, and I directed the man
to a room up stairs in the servants' de 1
partment, not the "up stairs" where 1
oad said my brother was.
Now that there was real danger, I i
was calm and reasonable. I fastened
the door that led up stairs with my em
broidery scissors, which liappeneii to lie in
my pocket, so as to guard against snrprise,
and hurriedly collecting our silverware, ,
carried it to mamma's room ami hid it
in the bed. No one would have sup
posed the bed hail been disturbed.
I was elated at my ingenuity.
I then hunted np what jewels the girls
possessed, and placing them, with wiiat
money I could find, in a box, I tied them in
my pocket. After doing this, I stole down
stairs and removed my scissors from
tho door. Those scissors were counted
among my most valuable treasures. I
had hail them many years, and hail no
intention of losing them now.
I expected the man would only wait
ill he thought I and my fictitious
brother was asleep, and would then
fwarch the house for valuables, and
finish by killing me.
Only one plan for escape that I origi
mated seemed feasible. I determined to
wait till I heard my lodger in the rooms
below, and then wrap myself in papa's
shawl, and jump ont of the window. I
was not kept long in suspense; the pe
culiar squeak of the sitting-room door
warned mo that it was time to act.
Quietly I raised the window, and just as
the steps approached the stairs, I jump- 1
ed to the gronnd. Fortunately, there
was a bed of lilies directly beneath the ;
window, and they softened my fall.
That there was danger of breaking my
neck I had not thought. I was deter
mined to escape.
It was as dark as Egypt, the rain was
pouring down in torrents, but this was
nothing in comparison with t'. e horror
within the house.
Half a mile back of our house lived a
friend of papa's—Mr. Vincent. Ire
solved to go there. I ran along, stum
bling against fences and falling into
ditches, thinking I never knew such a
long half mile.
Finally I reached the house, and man
aged to tell my story. Several young
men happened to have been delayed
there by the storm, and, headed "by
Henry Vincent, a young man of some
twenty-two years, they prepared to cap
ture my visitor.
I was too excited to remain at Mr.
Vincent's. I declared I would go back
home. They all tried to persuade me
not to do this except Henry Vincent,
who said "such a little heroine should
do as she pleased." With my hand
] tightly daiifMHl in Henry's, wo started.
When wo canto within sight of our
I house, we saw a light flitting from room
to room, ami a fow words of lwili>n*

The Decay of burglary
That the '• hard times " have seriously
affected that larg. and enterprising class
of our fellow eitisens, the burglurs, says
the New York TMUS, there u abundant
evidence. A marked change is plainly
perceptible in the manner m which they
do their work. Formerly the burglar
was usually an artist in his profession,
ami showed a conscientious thorough
noes and nicety in its practice. He
effected his entrance into a house in a
dexterous and workmanlike manner,
leaving no broken glass or smashed
panels to accuse him of clumsy incompe
tence. lie knew what articles of value
to select, and how to avoid disturbing
the lumates of the bouse by rude and
inconsiderate uois>a. In no circum
stances would he tie guilty of wauton
and uugentlemanly deatruction of prop
erty. If he found himself insulted with
plated s poo us, and mocked by oroide
jewelry, he never showed his resent
meut by twisting the former and stamp
iug ou the latter. If he thus failed to
meet with any adequate reward for his
m*duight toil, he simply withdrew
quietly and inoffensively, and contented
himseif with pitying tlie seltish parsi
mony with which householders, rolling
in plated teaspoons, ignored the hard
working burglar, and left him to suffer
in silence the pang.- of disapj>ointod
hojsj.
To this praiseworthy burglar of for
mer days has succeeded the rude pre
tender to burglary, who cannot under
take the simplest job without showing
bis incompetence and vulgarity. He
breaks into suburban house* by the
primitive- process of kicking out the
cellar windows, anil scratches the
matches with which he lights his lantern
ou the spotless parlor walls. His tlrst
idea is to rob the refrigerator and make
a hearty meal, careless of the annoyance
which he thus iutlicts upou the thrifty
housewife, and of the disgrace which he
brings upon his art by subordinating it
to sensual gratification. After supper
he makes an exploration of the house,
soiling the carpets with toliacco juice,
and breaking the locks of desks and
drawers. If he finds nothing that is
worth stealing, he expresses his brutal
anger by cutting the pictures, scratch
ing the piano, aud breaking the clock.
Before he departs he usually mausg>a to
fall over enough furniture to awaken the
proprietor, and to thns promote that
want of harmouy in the domestic circle
which iuevitahly occurs when a husband
hesitate* to 800 pt his wife's advice to
go down stairs armed only with his
night shut ami capture a burglar, llic
contrast between this ruffianly house
breaker ami the skillful and accomplish
ed burglar is painfully forced upon our
attention whenever we read the }xlice
reports, ami thinking men naturally
ask themselves what lias lieeu the cause
of this sad deterioration which apparent
ly involves the whole profession.
(tood Living and l>jjep*ia.
Good living is said to cause dyspep
sia; but the most healthy people we have
ever knowu have been among those who
lived well— who ate fr.v-lv several times
a day of the most nutritious food. By
some it is said that tobacco, snuff, tea,
coff-e t butter, and even bread cause this
complaint ; but whoever will make in
quiries on this subject throughout the
community will find that this is seldom
true. In fact dyspepsia prevails, accord
ring to my exjK'rieuc*', altogether the
most among the tempi-rate and careful—
among those who are careful as regards
what they eat and ilriuk, and the lalxir
they put upon tho stomach, but exceed
ingly careless how mnch labor they put
upon that most delicate organ, the brain.
Such people often eat nothing but oy
the advice of the doctor, or some treat
ise on dyspepsia, or by weight; nor
drink anything that is not certainly
harmless; they chew every mouthful
nntil-they are confluent, on mature re
flection, that it cannot hurt the stomach.
Why, then, are they dyspepticst Be
cause, with all their carefulness, they
j>ay no attention to the excitement of
the brain. They continue to write two
or three sermons or essays every week,
lies ides reading a volume or two, with
magazines, reviews, newspapers, etc.,
ami attending to mnch other business
calculated to excite tho miud. It is not
strange that such persons have nervous
and stomachic affections. The oonst&nt
excitement of the brain sends an excess
of blood to the head, and therefore
other organs are weakened, and morbid
sensibility is produced, which renders
the stomach liable to derangement from
very slight causes.
The Mountain Meadow Massacre.
It has l>een adisputed question wheth
er Brigham Young was privy to the
Mountain Meadow massacre, a horrible
butchery by Mormons and Indians, of
men, women and children belonging to
an immigrant train bonnd for California
in 1857. From the evidence produced
by the prosecution at Beaver, Utah, in
the trial of John D. Lee, the leader of
the murderers, it would seem that
Young was not responsible in any way
for the atrocious act, but that, ou the
contrary, when informed of Lee's de
sign, he sent a messenger to the latter
with instructions to spare the immi
grants and let them go in peace. The
messenger rode day and night, but the
massacre had taken place forty-eight
I ours before he reached Mountain Mea
.low. But this evidence, th ough it
shows that Brigham Young endeavored
to prevent the murders, also proves
that he knew who the murderers were,
and yet he never took any measures
whatever to bring them to justice. The
proof against Lee seems to bo conclu
sive.
BUTTER. —"Marseilles butter" is a
substance produced at a large stearin®
candle manufactory at Marseilles, from
which several tons are sent out every
week. It is most artistically prepared,
looks very nice, and keeps well ; but it
will not go down at Maraeilles, and an
other market for it is being sought.
Those who come to you to talk about

To regulate tin- angle, a tangent scale
is fitted to the breech of the gun, uml to
this scale is attached the movable rear
sight with which, with the vertically im
movable muzzle sight, the lim- of sight
or aim is determined. The scale is di
vided into degrees, minutes ami seconds,
the latter subdivision lieing obtained by
means of a vernier scale attached for
the purpose. The fine divisi.ai of tin
tangent scale is neot-naary in order to
regnlate the changes in elevation re
quired for variations of range ami the
resistance of the atmosphere. In the
forrm r cane, let it la supposed that a
marksman hits the bull's eye at an eight
hundred yards range, with a certain ele
vatiou of the rear sight on the tangent
scale. If he desires to hit it itguin at
850 yards he must inert. -<-the • ev.it ton,
ami decrease it for a distance of 775
yards. Thus the utmost accuracy can
only la- attained by a fine adjustment of
tin sight-.
The influence of the wind on the
flight <>f it bullet in very great, nml.whoi
the wind in variable, in con-fa' 1 ▼ chang
iug. On a perfectly calm day at Crwnl
moor tho line of <ight in in the -arm
vertical plane an the line of fire; that i,
the nmrkstuHn a<ljunt hin muzzle night
to corrvq>on 1 exietlyin relation to the
breech Mght with the axis of the rifle
barrel. Hi- nhootn " ilea*} on," an it in
termed, making no allowance for the
force of the wind. If, however, a wind
is blowing in the nauie direction us tlw
line of night that in toward the target,
the elevation of the breech night must
bo lowered in proportion to the force of
the wind, lxyauno the moving air cur
rent has a tendency to lift the hall, not
actually, but relatively, by delaying the
fall due to gravity within the |>eriod of
flight. Un the other hand, if the wind
blown toward tho marknman the eleva
tiou must IM> raised to comiiensatc for
the increaaed resistance created by the
wind to the progress of the bullet, which
in in addition to the normal renintauce of
the air at rent.
When the wind blown acronn the line
of tire it cannon the ballet to drift in the
name direction an the wind blown, and
while it may not necessitate an altera
tion of elevation it oompeln the rifleman
to move the muzzle night no many points
over on the the wind, no
that the line of fire will diverge from
the line of night, and tlinn compensate
for the drift of the bullet.
An oblique wiud, with or against the
ball, creates a further complication of
the sighting. The former compels a
reduction of the elevation and an allow
auoe for wind, while the latter ncoenpi
taten an increase of elevation an well an
a wind allowance. The wind in sup
posed to be blowing across the range
from right to left, oonneqnei tly if tiio
marknman aimed "dead on" the bull's
eye hin bullet would strike tho target
away in the left or possibly might not
toneh it at all. Hut lie maken the proper
nllnwanoo for the wind and moves his
rnnzzle night to the left aide of the bar
rel, and with thin urraugcmcut of the
nights he aims directly at the bull's eye.
Of course it will le at once neon
that the barrel is directly on a line to
ward a point to the right of the bull's
eye and the bullet flies in that direction,
but in drifted during its progress toward
the left and into the center of the target.
The accuracy of the shooting there
fore entirely depends on the good judg
merit of the rifleman, and the content at
Creed moor was won by the American
team because its members were perfect
ly familiar with the relative foroea gover
iug the flight of the bullets. The match
was continued on the second day under
strictly different conditions of weather
from those of the first; and it was in
forming a correct estimate of the char
acter of th changes that our team had
the advantage over the other contestants.
The marvelous shooting of Johnson at
1,000 yards when compared with the in
different marksmanship of some of the
other riflemen, shows that mere steadi
ness of nerve and clear vision will not
compensate for a deficient acquaintance
with the value of the forces in opera
tion on the flying bullet.
THE REASON.—A wealthy Bostonian
died recently and left all his property to
his wife on condition that she married
again within eighteen months. A friend
of his who knew of his purpose pre
vious to his death said to him: " I
should think you would dislike the idea
of another man enjoying your money."
*' He would not bo likely to enjoy it
much under the circumstances," was
the reply.
