Help at the Weak Point.

Our profit or loss depends good deal on
the kind of men we hire, and on our ability
to plan work and to see that it is executed
without loss of time and labor. Whether
we had better take hold with our own
hands depends good deal on the character
of the work and on the number of men
employed. A farmer who knows how to
do all kinds of farm work, and knows
what good days work is, if he has
large farm to manage will seldom find it
profitable to take team and pillow all dry
or follow the harrows. He will do better
to attend to tho little details Of the work
and keep an eye on everything that is going
on. He should be able to detect the weak
spot and lend a hand there. For instance,
ifyou are drawing manure with three teams,
there will be one wagon at the heap with
man besides the driver to fill, another
wagon unloading in the field, and one 60
ing back and forth. The rapidity of the
whole work will be determined at ona
point, just as the strength of whole
chain is determined by the weakest link.
If you see that the empty wagon gets to
the heap before the other is loaded. take
hold and help to fill a load, and put a little
spirit in the men. If, on the other hand.
the load is ready before the wagon returns,
the weak spot is in the field. Take hold
and help to pull off load or two. In
drawing hay Or grain with three wagons,
have doubled the speed of the whole force
by getting on to the wagon and helping to
unload. We unload in half the time, and
yet the next wagon-load was there in time
for us. Sometimes it will be the pitcher
that cannot keep up-then help him. You
will accomplish far more by looking out
for the weak spots than by doing Steady
work. If man has hard row to hoe.
none of the others will help him. They
will keep up with him, or if they shenld by
any mischance 60 ahead, will wait for him
at the end. That row is the weak SPOT
Take hold and help. And SO with every
operation on the farm. We must study
how to econemize labor.

Primitive Farming in California.

A writer in the San Jose Mercury gives
this account of early agricultural methods
and implements in California, under the
Mission rule:-
Pillows were roughly fashioned from
the stems of small trees, while tree brush
was the only material of which harrows
were composed. Yskes for cattle were
merely poles of suitable length, dashed to
the horns by means of raw-hide thongs,
and the only vehicles were carts of which
the wheels were sections of logs, and
resembled huge cheeses with holes through
the centres. Instead of chains, raw-hide
the whole business of ploughing and seed
ing California farm might be accomplished
without the use of iron in any implement,
if we except the pole or goad used for
driving the cattle; for in the end of this
persuader was inserted small brad or awl.
The manner of blowing was peculiar. To
every pair of oxen there were two men
Indians. The business of one was to hold
the one-handled pillow upright, and also to
use the persuader or goad, while the other
acted in the capacity of guide, marching
solemnly just in front of the team. These
plowmen were accustomed to wear only
the boots and pantaloons provided by Dame
Nature. A serape blanket with slit in the
centre) and an old broad brimmed sonJrero
(hat) completed their outfit. Sometimes
the plow-holder acted as guide to those in
the rear, as frequently there were five or
six plows running in the same field. The
burrows were mere scratches, being four or
five inches wide and about three in depth.
The harvesting was accomplished in the
same primitive fashion, the grain being
cut with sickles and stacked in a small cir
cular enclosure, having space between the
stack and fence for a road way. Into this
band Of horses was driven, two or three
mounted drivers being among them, whoop-
ing and yelling like madmen. Round and
round the stack went the flying band, the
grain in the meantime being thrown on the
ground for them to run over. After few
hours exercise OF this kind, the horses
were turned out, the threshed straw thrown
over the fence, more of the unthreshed
grain spread on the ground, the horses
again turned in, again the mad wild chase
performed, and so on until the stack was
finished. The threshed grain was imper-
fectly separated from the chaff and dirt by
carrying it up on high scaffolds and pour
ing it down while the wind was blowing
This, it will be perceived, was the process
practised three thousand years ago.
Though poor and rude the plan, still, owing
to the fertility of the soil, crops fair in
quantity and quality were obtained, and
the padres, madres, sedoritas, hombres,
and indios Qndians,) these latter being
poems and performing nearly all the labor,
were enabled to luxuriate on tortillas,
onions, beans, ETC., to their hearts con-
tent"

Method Of Ascertaining the Weight Of
Cattle While Living.

This is of the utmost utility for all those
who are not experienced judges by the eye;
and, by the following directions, the weight
can be ascertained within a mere trifle:-
Take string, put it around the beast,
standing square, just behind the shoulder
blade; measure on foot rule the feet and
inches the animal is in circumference
this is called the girth; then, with the
string, measure from the bone of the tail
which plumbs the line with the hinder part
of the buttock, direct the line along the
back to the fore part of the shoulder
blade; take the dimensions on the foot-rule
as before, which is the length, and work
the figures in the following manner; Girth
of the bullock, feet inches; length, )
feet 3 inches; which multiplied together,
make 81 square superficial feet; that again
multiplied by 81 (the number of pounds
allowed to each superficial foot of cattle
measuring less than 7, and more than 8 in
girth, makes 713 pounds; and allowing IA
pounds to the stone, is so stone ID pounds.
When the animal measures less than 0,
and more than feet in girth, 81 is the
number of pounds to each superficial foot.
Again, suppose pig Or any small beast
should measure feet in girth, and 2 feet
along the back, which multiplied by II,
the number of pounds allowed for each
square foot of cattle measuring less than 8
feet in girth, makes A pounds; which,
divided by IA to bring it to stones, is 8 stone
2 pounds. Again suppose calf, sheep,
etc., should measure 4 feet inches in girth;
and feet inches in length, which multi
piled together, make 164 square feet; that
multiplied by 16, the number of pounds
allowed to all cattle measuring less than 5
feet and more than in girth, makes 264
pounds; which divided by IA to bring it to
stones, IS stone 10 pounds. The dimen-
sions of the girth and length of back of
cattle, sheep, calves or hogs, may be as
exactly taken this way as is at all necessary
for any computation or valuation of stock,
and will answer exactly to the four quar-
tiers, sinking the offal; and which every
man, who can get bit of chalk, can easily
perform. A deduction must be made for a
half fatted beast, of l stone in 90, from
that of fat one; and for COW that has
had calves, stone must be allowed, and
another for not being properly fat.-Er.

Exterminting Orchard Caterpillars.

The tent caterpillar, (Clysiocampa Amer
icana, which is sometimes spken of as the
American lackey MOTH" does immense
damage in apple orchards, by devouring
the foliage of the trees in the early part of
the growing season. This species of
insects is as destructive to cherry as to
apple trees, but they are seldom or never
found on pear, peach CT plum trees.
The forest caterpillars, the army worm
and several other species of caterpillars are
all Matched from eggs deposited by large
millers. The millers of the fruit-tree cat
erpillars lay clusters of eggs, and glue
them to small twigs, or on the leaves OF
the outside branches. Wherever the tree
may stand, the eggs are sure to hatch IN
the early part of the growing season, as
soon as there has been sufficient warm
weather to unfold the buds. The clusters
of eggs may be destroyed at any time from
Autumn until Spring. If the eggs are
not destroyed, the larvae or caterpillars
should be crushed as soon after they are
Matched. The most expeditions way to
crush caterpillars of any species is to put
on leather mittens and crush them with
our hand while they are very small, as it is
an offensive and sickening task to handle
large worms. The practice of attaching
torch to the end of pole and burning the
pests while in their nests has been recon-
mended: but is Objectionable, as many OF
the twigs will be damaged by the flame
Some species of fruit tree caterpillars pro-
duce two breeds of larvae every season.
TRAPPING INSECTS IN JARS.
Many species of millers, flies, bugs and
beetles can be trapped in fruit-jars, or bot
ties having large mouths, half filled with
very sweet water. Such vessels should be
placed on small shelves or brackets attached
to the trees, several feet from the ground.
AS miilers and beetles usually climb into
the tree-tops, even when they are accus-
toned to fly about the orchard, they will be
drawn to the jars by the scent of the sweet
ened water, and in their efforts to reach
the liquid, will tumble in and be drowned.
Some insects cannot be trapped satisfactor-
lily in jars and bottles, as they never have
been known to feed on sweets. The female
miller of the canker worm always climbs
up the body of tree, as she cannot fly
Hence, by securing piece of tin or sheet
iron to the body of each tree, so that 1t will
project like a spread umbrella, and by
placing jar of sweetened water on braek-
ct Just beneath the collar of sheet-iron
when the female miller has climbed up to
the iron, where she must stop, she will
ascend to the top of the jars and be trap
ped in the liquid.

CARPETED FLooRs.-When carpet is
taken up to be cleansed the floor beneath
is generally much covered with dust. This
dust is very fine and dry and poisonous to
the lungs. Before removing it sprinkle
the floor with very dilute carbolic acid to
kill any poisonous germs that may be pres
ent, and to thoroughly disinfect the floor
and render it sweet.
