Weight Of Live Cattle by Measure.

The only instrument necessary is a
measure with feet aud inch marks upon it.
The girth is the circumference of the
animal just behind tho shoulder blades.
The superficial feet are obtained by null
tiplying the girth by the length. The
following table contains the rule TO ascer-
tain the weight Of the animal:
If less than one foot in girth, multiply
superficial feet by eight.
If less than three aud more than one,
multiply superficial feet by eleven.
If less than FIVE and more than three
multiply superficial feet by sixteen.
If less than seven and more than five,
multiply superficial feet by twenty three.
If less than nine aud more than seven,
multiply superficial feet by forty-two.
Example: Suppose the girth of bull
lock to be six feet three inches, length
five feet six inches; the superficial feet
will then be thirty -four, and in accord
ance with the preceding table the weight
will be seven hundred and eighty-two
pounds.
Example: Suppose a pig to measure in
girih two feet, and length one foot and
niue inches. There would then be three
aud half feet, which, multiplied by elev-
en-. gives thirty eight and a half pounds
as the weight of the animal when dressed
In this way, the weight Of the four quar-.
ters can be substantially ascertained dur
ing life.

Just Over the Hill.

A little boy while climbing the precip-
itous sides Of high, steep hill, tired, wea.
ry and almost exhausted, stopped and in
a discouraged tone inquired: Mother
where is our house?' Just over the hill,
my boy, just over th, hill 'Theu, moth
er, can't We 90 round the hill? can't we
reach our home without going over this
hill?' asked the little boy as he looked up
with weary eye at the seemingly long
distance yet to the top Of the hill. No,
my son, was the reply. This hill is be-
tween US and our home, and we must go
over IL before we get there; but cheer up,
my boy, we shall soon be there; the dis
tance seems great now, but it will not ap-
pear half so long when we get home
Reader, have you ever thought of it?
Though tired and care. worn you may be
with the weariscme journey of life, be not
discouraged, but persevere, and if you are
but faithful you shall find rest, sweet,
tranquil rest, just over the HILL We are
ascending this hill as we 90 up from child
hood to manhood, and when we shall have
reached its summit we must descend to
find rest from our tolls on the other side.
The journey is truly a weary, toilsome
one, and often the slippery rocks, our
stepping stones, shall cause our feet to
slide. But, though the storms of winter
may often beat upon us, yet wo shall as
often have sunshine and bright skies to
gladden. our pathway. And though desert
wastes we may have to pass through, they
will not be without their cheering oasis,
with bright flowers and ripe fruit, and the
happy songsters shall cheer US with their
mirthful songs. And if, care-worn and
weary, we become discouraged, and doubt
ful, and ready to stop, we ask, where is
our homer our Father, by whose careful
hand We are led, shall tell us by His word,
"Cheer up, thou shalt find rest just over
the hill
But ah! toilsome as is our journey,
how infinitely much more so do we make
it by turning away from the right path.
How much is lost by wandering away into
the labyrinths of Elm and folly, and how
Indiana American. [volume] (Brookville, Ind.) 1865-1872, 1868-02-07

much of toll and exertion it costs US even
to attain our former position. There is n
right path and right way, and though it
be over the hill, and though the hill may
be rugged and steep, yet If we follow it,
ii will lead US safely to our rest aud our
reward, aud We shall escape the many
snares that the wanderer falls into. But
out Of this path we shall fud pitfalls and
snares; aye, we shall 6nd sorrow enough.
Then turn not TO either side, but pa
tiently pursue the straightforward way,
and as We reach the summit Of the hill and
the pursuits Of life become wearisome we
shall catch brighter glimpsss Of that beau
tiful country, the pilgrims home and the
rest Of the weary, on the other side, to
cheer Us in lifes decline as we descend to
find calm aud peaceful res. just over
the hill J. ii. CLouD.
