Nartctilturat. Live and Dead Weight of Cattle. Ne extract from the Rochester Wool 'Grower and Stock Register, the following article on the live and dead weight of cat tle, which will be found interesting to our farmer readers in the country, who raise cattle for this, and other markets. Salesmen commonly calculate that the dead weight is one-half of what the animal weighs when alive; but the butcher knows that the produce is greater; it often ap proaches to three-fifths; and by an exten sive stock bailiff of the late Mr. Curwen, it was found that the dead weight amount ed to fifty-five per cent, of the live. But the amount differs strangely as may be seen by the following statement of Mr. Fergerson, of Woodhill, C. W•: Live Weight. Dead Weight. Tnllmv .. 9 one. MR. St. 'lbs.

The subject of live and dead weight of cattle being one that deeply interests far mers, wo again call attention to the sub jeot, in the hope that it may awaken in quiry, as to the question what should be the rule of paying the farmer for the best beef he may have grown? It costs him quite as much to grow hide and tallow,, as it does muscle or flesh, and we should like to know, why he should not be paid for so doing'—Ed. .4mer. Farmer. In continuation of this subject, we make the following extracts from Coleman's Massachusetts Report: "ln New York, only four quarters are made by the slaughterer, and the hide and tallow, are not weighed or reckoned in the price: facts which arc to be remembered in making comparisons of prices in the differ ent markets." “The following are some examples of live and dead weight of Now England cattle, killed at home, and after being driven from the Connecticut river to Brighton, the Boston beef market, a distance of - 75 or 80 miles: Example 1— One ox live weight in mar ket, 2,893 lbs: quarters weighed 418 lbs, 415 lbs, 324 lbs,: hide 150 lbs; tallow, 175 lbs. lbs,-1,811. Difference, 582 lbs. Example 2—Two oxen of A. S. killed at home, wighod as follows: Live—one 1,979 113, Killed 1.400 lbs. " 1,910 " " 1,341 " About 29.41bs loss on a hundred of the live weight. Example 3—An os owned by A. S., conveyed to Brighton on a sled, weighed at home about 2,630 lbs. the precise num ber of pounds not recollected. On being slaughtered, weight as follows ;—quarters, 480 lbs, 479 lbs, 349 lbs; tallow, 250 lbs. Total 2,120 lbs. Loss 510 lbs. _ _ Example 4-0 x belonging to It. D., when he left Connecticut river, weighed 2,435 lbs. Weight at Brighton when dressed, 1,588 lbs. Loss of weight, 867 lbs. This is a little more than one-third, and is a remarkable result. Example s—An ox weighing on Con necticut river 2,250 lbs, weighed in mar ket, 1,472—L05s 778 Ips. Rinds of Fruit Indigestible. The fact cannot be too strongly impress ed upon the public. It applies to all fruit without exception, and inoldos also the pellicle or skin of kernel and nuts of all kinds. The edible part of fruit is par ticularly delicate, and liable to rapid de coppostion if exposed to the atmosphere; it is therefore, a provision of nature to place a strong and impervious coating. over it, as a protection against accident, and to prevent insect enemies from destroying the seed within. The skin of all the plum tribe is wonderfully strong, compared with its substance, and resists the action of water and oilier solvents in a remarka ble manner. If not thoroughly mastica ted before taken into the stomach, the rind of plum is rarely, if ever, dissolved by the gastric juice. In some cases pieces of it adhere to the coats of the stomacl► the same as wet paper clings to the body, causing sickness and other inconvenience. Dried raisins and currants are particular ly included in these remarks, showing the best reasons for placing the fruit upon the chopping-board with the suet in mak ing a pudding of thew; for if a dried cur= rant paves into the stomach whole, it is never digested at all. When horses eat oats or beans that have not been through a crushing will, much of this food is swal lowed whole, aud, in this state, being per fectly indigestible, the husk or pellicle re sisting the solvents of the stomach, there is so much lost to.nutrition. Birds being destitute of teeth, are provided with the apparatus for grinding their seed, namely, with the gizzard, through which the aced passes, and is crushed prior to digestion: The peels of apples and pears should al ways be east away. Oranges we need not mention, as this is always done. Orleans, green gages, damsons, and plums should bo carefully skinned, if eaten raw; and if put into tarts they should be crushed be fore cooking. Nuts aro as indigestible as we could desire, if the brown skin were not removed or blanched, as almonds aro generally treated. Peaches should bo de nuded of their skins before they are eaten. If any person wishes to know how to eat one, let him watch a monkey at the opera tion. [lAn old bachelor having been laugh ed at by a party of pretty girls, told them —Von aro small potatoes!' 'We may be small potatoes,' said one of them, 'but we are sweet ones!' Administrator's Notice. E,tnto of D. E. Buono, late of Tod township, II antingdon enmity, glee'd. .

Headley. 1 vol. 12m0., with Portraits. .Uniform with " Napoleon and his Marshals."— $1,25. • • Scott and Jackson are here placed together as the two military men who have made the deepest impressions on their country since the tiSle of Washington. They both achieved a brilliant re putation in the war pf 1812, and by the battles of Chippewa, Niagara, New Orleans, etc., gave their country a reputation at home and abroad, and though differing widely in some characteris tics, they were very similar in others. The auth or has rug only sketched the biography of each, but has given a faithful and graphic description of the brilliant battles in which they were engaged. The biography of IVinlield Scott, which ctmsti totes the greater part of the volume, is full and authentic, the materials for it having been derived from public documents and from many officers who had served under Scott. It presents to the reader also a panortunie view of the brilliant cam paign of Mexico, embracing the storming and ca pitulation of Vera Cruz, the battles of Cerro Gor do, Churubusco, Contreras, Molino del Rey. Cho pultepec, storming of Mexico, Triumphal Entry, with description of the scenery, personal inci dents, etc. The author has fully sustained the reputation acquired by "Napoleon and his Mar shals,” and other works, of which over 200,00 volumes have been sold.
