How MUCH CORN IN SEVENTY
POUNDS OF EARs.-It is customary for
Western farmers to sell their corn in
the ear, and they give seventy pounds
for bushel. The Prairie Farmer is
authority for saying that seventy
pounds of old corn on the cob make
sixty five pounds and thirteen ounces.
Certainly this will more than pay any
farmer for shelling his corn at home.
On any prairie farm the cObs alone will
pay for shelling, as they are worth
nearly as much as coal, pound for
pound.

THE RAT NUIsANCE.-Ane exchange
says: Catching rats is often difficult,
as old rats are proverbially cunning.
Laying around poison is dangerous not
alone, but also Objectionable, for the
reason that rats may die at inaccessi-
BILE spots and contaminate the atmos-
phere with the well known detestible
odor. A better plan has been adopted
by one of our correspondents, by which
he takes advantage of the cunning hab-
it's of the rodents. He covers the floor
near the hole with thin layer ofmoist
caustic potash; when the rats walk on
this it makes their feet sore these they
lick with their tongues it makes their
mouths sore, and the results that they
shun this locality not alone, butappear
to tell all the neighboring rats aboutit,
and eventually the house is entirely
abandoned by them, Notwithstanding
the neighborhood may be teeming with
rats"

SPRINKLE ASHES ON THE. SIDE
WAI,Ks.-The sidewalks are now in a
very slippery and consequently very
dangerous condition, and pedestrians
are in constant danger ofbreaking their
limbs by falling upon the rough and
frozen snow. The simplest remedy,
and one which need not cost two min
utes' labor, is to sprinkle ashes on the
sidewalks in front of dwellings, stores,
shops, etc, especially on those streets
where there is "down grade. J" Large
cinders need not be applied, as fine ash
es answers quite as well if sprinkled
evenly over>the ice. A very sight ap-
plication, too is all that is necessary.
Then let one and all sprinkle ashes on
the sidewalks.

Good for Phil. Sheridan

General Sheridan put veto an the ar
rangement for paying civic honors to the
body of the late rebel johnson, in New
Orleans, the cream Of which is as follows:
81 have too much regard for the memory
OF the brave men who died to preserve
our Government, to authorize Confederate
demonstrations over the remains of any
one who attempted to destroy it." The
beauty of it is, this veto stands to the
honor of its author, there being no power
in New Orleans that can, and none at
Washington that dare, over ride it.

To Weigh CoaPby Measure.

7. NJ. BARROW, Kingstown, Scuylkill
Co, Pa: Mr.. Carpenter must mistake
in stating Is bushels make tun of coal.
A bushel will weigh so pounds, therefore
~ cWt net measure, just 20 bushels net
2s bushels gross. Miners calculate So
lid yard, II feet, as tun, which is nearly
correct; the volume increases when bro
ken up, by four feet, hence, it will be 81
feet l59 inches. Any one buying, who
is fit to be the head of family, can tell
whether he gets weight or not by having
foot rule and measuring the length,
breadth and depth of the wagon or cart.
A wagon box to hold a tuu should be 10
feet L inches long, B feet wide, and L
foot deep; while a cart half this length,
width, and depth will hold half a tun.-
A box of coal is easily measured the same
way. There is, no doubt, good deal of
cheating in coal, but if any one who reads
The Tribune and follows the above rule
is cheated after this, it is his own fault
1t is true some Goals are heavier than
others, but have never known them to
vary more than one pound and half to
the bushel
