Game.

The private markets were well sup
plied-uot so well, however, as earlier in
the season. There has been a noticeable
falling off in the supply Of every kind of
wild meat except venison, during the
past month. What reason there is or can
be for this, we do not know. The wealth
er has been most favorable, not only for
hunting, but forthe preservation OF game,
and there is no good cause that we can
see, why our market should not be sur
feited with all sorts.

Soap Sads.

4 cistcrn or tank of from two to
four hogsbeads should be constructed
i'm the vicinity of the sink or laundry
of every farmhouse, and system of
conductors so arranged as to lead the
suds and .lops into it as they are
made. -f
This liquid matter is powerful
fertilizer, containing the food of
plants in a state of solution. and con-
seQuently in a condition be readily
taken up and absorbed by Vegetables
as son as applied.
Irrigating gardens with soap suds,
after the liquid has become stale, is q
powerful means of promoting vegeta-
bic growth, especially in dry weather
Some have considered the value of
suds to be equal to that of the same
weight of manure. This, however,
is probably an exaggerated estimate !;
yet we " ant no additional corrobora-
ton to satisfy us of its intrinsic worth
a. a vegetable stimulant. 2"
Great care should be obseI we'd that
the decaying matter and studs do not
faint the air about the dwelling, as in
the process of fermentation and de-
composition sulphureted hydrogen
gas is thrown off. This is an active
poison. When inhaled it acts direct
ly upon the blood, thickening it and
turning it black. A single gallon Of
it mixed with 200 of air will render
it poisonous to birds, and one gallon
in 100 will kill dog. Many of our
people are not sufficiently careful:
about allowing such "sinks of iniqui-
ty" to exist about their dwellings
N E. Farmer.
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 1850-1873, 1870-03-25

Five PAGES are considered equal to
one lineal rod. A man having long
legs can easily go more than rod at
five PAGES; while person with short
legs would be required to step much
farther than would be an easy move
ment for him, in order to measure one
rod. Let q rod be measured off with
a rule; then let the person who pro-
poses to measure by pacing step a rod
at five PAGES. After a little practice,
he can guagc Lis steps with sufficient
accuracy TO enable him to measure
any square piece of land by pacing.
Fifty PAGES will be equal to ten rods
in length. And if the piece be forty
PAGES wide, the distance will be equal
to eight rods. Therefore, eight mul.
tiplied by ten will give the number
of square rods in the field. We have
then this simple rule: Ascertain the
number of PAGES OH two sides of the
piece of ground. Divide the number
by five, to ascertain the number of
lineal rods. Then multiply the man,
Der of rods on OH one side by the
number of rods across enc end di-
vide :he product by one huadrcd and
sixty-the number of square rods in
