WEIGHT OF CATTLE BT MEASURE- j MENT. E. J. E , Grafton, lowa, asks for a rule for ascertaining the weight of cattle, the calcula tion being based on the measurement of the animals. Many experiments have been made by graziers and dealers in cattle to ascertain the net weight of cattle by measurement.— Rules have been given and tables constructed of the results obtained. At best these are but approximations, and the measurement of correctness will depend much upon a practi cal acquaintance with the form and prominent points of the animals to be measured. Some thing will depend, i n the breed, size, mode of fattening, the time the process has been go ing on and the character of the feed supplied. The following method comes as uear a cor rect result as any known : Measure carefully with a tape line from the top of the shoulder to where the tail is at tached to the back ; this will give the length. For the girth measure immediately behind the shoulder and forelegs. Multiply half the girth by itself in feet, and the product will give the net weight in stones of eight p>unds. For example, witfc an ox or cow 5 feet in : length and 7 leet in girth, the calculation • will be as follows : Multiply half the girth by itself in feet 3.5 ; 3.5 _ ■ 12.25 | Multiply by length in feet 5 ! Weight in stones 61.25 This multiplied by eight, the pounds In a stone, or rather a half stone, and the resuli will be 490 pounds net. —Rural New \ork- | PRACTICAL HINTS. —A coating of three j parts lard and one pint rosin, applied to farm i tools of iron or steel, will effectually preyent { rust Common nails heated red hot and j dropped into cold water, will clinch and ans wer the put pose of wrought nails. The sharp corner of a common Indian arrow head, or flint, will cut glass effectually. A wagon jack may be mada of boards two or more feet long. Place the board in front of the wheel, one end on the ground, and the other just under one of the spokes, close up to the feU loe ; then take hold of the spake on the op posite side of the wheel, and lift it, and at the same time placing the second board un der the axle. IT this way a loaded wagon may be lifted with ease. Rusty nails msy be drawn from wood without difficulty, by first giving them a blow hard enough to start them a little. A gun will not need cleaning in five years, il the muzz! is tightly corked, and a piece of rubber kept upon the tube under the hammer, when standing idle. To KEEP POTATOES FXOM ROTTING. —The Germantown Telegraph is authority for the following which may be worth something to farmers whose potatoes already show signs of rotting badly The sorest protection against rotting the potatoes, after being har vested, there is no question, w think is atr slacked lime. Let the lime be sprinkled over the bottom of the bin before filling, and re peat the application at each foot of potatoes until the bin is filled up. The quantity is what a farmer would call a good sprinkling. Potatoes should bo excluded from the light, and where convenient, covered with old car pet. When buried out of doors, alight dry sp6t should be selected, which can be thor oughly drained, and then pursue the fame with the lime as before. A vent must of course be left as in the top for the escape of the confined air. GOOD HAMS. —After hams have been smok ed, take them down,thoroughly rub the flesh part with molasses, then immediately apply ground or powdered pepper, by sprinkling on as much as will 6ticK to the molasses, when they must be hung up again to dry. Hams treated in this manner will keep perfectly sweet for two or three years, This must be doDe before the fly deposits its eggs,for after that is done, nothing will stop their ravages. The above has been practiced in our section ftr more than twenty years. No soaking is necessa.y. One pint of molasses and one and a half or two pounds of hlacn pepper art sufficient for ary ordinary family. Try this plan if you want good sweet hams.— Rural American. TREATMENT OF GALLED BACK— George 11. Dadd, veterinary surgeon, gives,in the Prai rie Farmer , the following : So soon as an abrasion is discovered on the back of a horse, the animal should be excus ed from duty a few days , the abraded parts should be dressed twice daily with a portion of tinciure of shies and myrrh. This simple treatment will soon heal the parts. Should there be no abrasion, but simple swelling,at tended with heat, pain and tenderness, the part* should be frequently sponged with cold water. Occasionally the skin undergoes the process of hardening, (irritation.) Thts is a condition of the parts, known to the farriers of old as "stitfast," aod the treatment is as follows : Procure one ounce ol iodine, and sinrar the indurated spot with a portion of the same, twice daily. Some eases of galled back and shoulders are duo to negligence and abuse ; yet uiany animals, owing to a peculiarity of consiitu tion, will "chafe." as the saying is, in those j parts which come in contact with the collar and saddle, and neither human foresight nor j mechanical means can prevent the same. LAMPERS IN HORSES.— The following is a certa-n cure : Divide the ha ; r, on the end ot 1 the tail and with a knife, make a cross mark 1 no as to start the blood. I have never failed \ to effi-ct a cure by doing this. Try it, horse owners. at it takes but very little time to do U. 8o says J. T., is Rural A>*4t*can. UlisrEUaitfDus!. D EL LACK. 1 WSSTIM KR.
