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

British Husbandry, vol. 2, 14. 302.
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!'

Lives of Winfield Scott and 4ndrew

" 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.

This work,` while it advocates the cause of the
Aftican, would do justice to the South. It would
awaken sympall . iy, but not excite wrath, turn
pity
nor tn
vitg foe the .Aegro into vengeance against the
Odic, not inculcate treason under pretence of lore
and /freedom. It would have /ore do the work of
hate. It will be marked with the characteristics
of the author, so well known to the public by his
previous works, of whom it was said in the publi
cation of "The New Purchase," that "Ile was
master of many styles, and had stepped to the
highest round of the ladder at once." The work
is no defence of slavery; but it would he a balance
?rhea, not to stop, but to concentrate, equalize,
and dived other motions. It treats the altraism
of the North to the Lex talianis. The writer wit
nessol mach that be describes, and real persons
are introduced under new names, so• that the
work, while it will possess the interest of fiction,
is not only true to life, but in many of its .cues
and ouirseters is trite iu filet.
