Storing Butter in a Cellar.

During several years of our first
farming in Iowa, we found it extremely
difficult to preserve sweet, for winter
use, the butter that we made during
the months of June, July and August
We finally adopted the following plan
by which we are successful: We
with few minutes work, settled large
stone jars into the cellar bottom-it
being sandy and dry. By putting
nearly the whole jar into the ground
packing the sand close outside, and the
butter inside, especial care to keep il
well covered first with a thin cloth. then
a thin layer of salt, and then board
with weight upon it to prevent its be-
ing uncovered by accident. Last sea
son we took an oak butter-frkin that
would hold one-hundred pounds, and
painted it well outside, and inserted il
in the ground beside the jars, and filed
it with butter, which kept as sweet as
we could desire. Persons who have a
dry cellar, and can avail themselves Of
the above plan, l think will be amply
compensated for their trouble.-Prairit
Farmer.

To Ascertain the Weight of Live Cattle.


Experienced drovers and butchers
are in the habit of buying cattle esti-
mating their weight on foot. From
long observation and practice, they are
enabled to come very near the actual
weight of an animal; but most of them
would be apt to err, if at all, on the
right side; while the less experienced
farmer stands the greatest chance to
get the worst of the bargain. To such
we would recommend the following
rule to ascertain the weight of cattle,
which is said to approach very near the
truth in most cases. The proof of this,
to the satisfaction of any former, is
easily determined at most of the ami
NAL fairs, where scales are erected, and
at numerous other points in the coun-
try.
Rule.-Take string, put it around
the breast, stand square just behind
the shoulder blade, measure on a rule
the feet and inches the animal is in cir
conference; this is called the girth :;
then, with string, measure from the
bone of the tale which plumbs the line
with the hinder part of the bullock !;
direct the line along the f,re part of
the shoulder blade; take the dimen-
sions on the foot rule as before, which
is the length; and work the figures in
the following manner: Girth of the
animal, say feet inches, length 5
feet 3 inches, which multiplied together
makes 81 square superficial feet, and
that multiplied by % (the number of
pounds allowed to each superficial foot
OF cattle measuring less than seven and
more than five feet in girth, } makes 713
pounds. When the animal measures
less than nine and more than seven feet
In girth, 81 is the number of pounds to
each superficial foot. Again, suppose
a pig or any small beast should meas
nre feet in girth and 2 along the back,
which feet in girth and two along the
back multiplied together, makes four
square feet, that multiplied by eleven,
the number of pounds allowed to each
square foot, of cattle measuring less
than three feet in girth makes forty four
pounds. Again, suppose calf, a sheep,
DC, should measure four feet six inches
In girth, and three feet and nine inches
in length, which multiplied together
makes Is ga square feet; that multi
piled by sixteen, the number of pounds
allowed to cattle measuring less than
five feet and more than three in girth.
makes two hundred and sixty-five lbs.
The dimensions of girth and length of
horned cattle, sheep, calves and hogs
may be exactly taken in this way, as it
is all that is necessary for any compu.
tation, or any valuation of stock, and
will answer exactly to the four quarters,
sinking the offal. The rule is so simple
that anybody with a bit of chalk can
work it out. Much is often lost to
farmers by mere guess work in the
weight of their stock, and this plain
rule Is well worth their attention.

Life,s Battle Field.

Each has his own one path IN life.
A circle small within his ken
And small circle, too, perchance,
We cannot all be famous men
And duties are not truly done
By painting vainly after fame,
Or fretting for the want of chance
To quickly make brilliant name
A brilliant name Too oft is this
The phantom that leads many on.
Until, too late, they wake and find
The time for real endeavor gonel
Better to fill lowly place,
And labor there with soul and heart,
Than dream ambitiously of wealth
Till time and youthful strength depart
Do speak sadly? Truth it is
That in the lowest place of life
A man can act hero's part
Amid the daily toll and strife
Aye, amid hourly din and care,
Even tn ough within the humblest home,
Can shine in virtue great and grand
As ever gilded ancient Romel
Lille nerOlSm uOeS not neeQ
spacious or lofty stage;
Life's spacious deeds are not all writ
Upon the faming-golden pagel
Believe me, glorious work is done,
As the worlds wheels still onward go,
Which ten-tongued rumor neveryet
Hath blazoned, or will ever know.
Self-conquest, selfdevotion-thes
Are the high gifts which give to all
Who own them that well-tempered mind,
Prepared alike to win or fall
Prepared, with fitting mien, to meet
The happy good or bitter i'll;
mistaken, whether fate the cup
With nectar or with gall to fill
Each of these words, in loftier truth,
Is sure taisman of life,
To guard and strengthen heart and brain
In time of hourly din and strife;
All stations they alike befit-
The peasants cot or monarch's throne
To every man priceless gift
They bring, in self-respect alone!
