To Estimate the Weight Of Live
Cattle.

First, see that the animal stands
square; then, with string, take his
circumference just behind the shout
der blade. and measure the feet and
inches-this is the girth. Then meas
ure from the bone to the tail which
plumbs the line with the hinder part of
the bullock, and direct the string along
Tie back TO the fore part Of the Shout
der blade, and this will be the length.
Then work the figures thus: Suppose
girth Of beast 6 feet 4 inches, length 5
feet inches, which multiplied together
equal 50 square superficial feet and
these multiplied BY 23-the number of
pounds allowed for each superficial
foot Of cattle measuring less than seven
and more than five feet i'm girth-
equals 759 pounds. When the animal
measures less than nine and more than
seven feet in girth, 81 is the number of
pounds to be estimated for each super
fetal foot. And suppose small ami
NAL to measure 2 feet in girth and 2
feet in length, these multiplied to-
gether equal 4 feet, which multiplied
by 1.-THE number of pounds allowed
for each square foot when the cattle
measure less than three feet i'm girth-
equals a pounds. Again, suppose a
calf or sheep, etc, to measure feet
inches in girth, and 8 feet 3 inches in
length that multiplied together equals
is square feet, and these multiplied by
l9-the number Of pounds allowed for
cattle measuring less than five and
more than three feet i'm girth-cqual
256 pounds. The dimensions in girth
and length Of the back Of cattle, sheep,
calves, and hogs, in this way, are as
exact as ut all necessary for common
computation Of valuation of stock, and
will answer to the four quarters Of the
animal, less the Offal. A deduction
must be made for the animals half fat
Of one pound in twenty from those that
are fat and for COW that has calves,
once pound must be allowed in addi-
ton to the one for not being fat, upon
every twenty

AGRICULTURAL NOTES.
To Make a Cheap Cellar Bottom.

The Ldwsfrfdl Monthly gives the
following directions:
In sections Of the country where
There is an abundance of cobblc-stones.
collect few loads of them about four
or five inches IN diameter, grade the
bottom Of the cellar, lay the cobbles in
rows, and ram them down one-third
their thickness into the ground, SO
that they will not rock nor be sunk be-
low the line Of the rows by any heavy
superintendent pressure, such as the
weight of a hogshead of molasses or
fierce Of vinegar. The bottom of the
cellar should be graded 30 that the
outside will be at least two inches
lower than the middle. A mistake
sometimes occurs by grading the Gel
lar bottom in such a manner that the
center will be two or three inches low
CT than the outside. When this is the
case, should water enter from the out
side, 1t will flow directly toward the
middle. A straight edged board
should be placed frequently on each
row OF stones 40 they are being ram
med 30 that the upper sides NAV be in
a line with each other. After the
stones are laid and well rammed down,
place few boards on the pavement
to walk on; then make a grOuting of
clean sand and water lime, or ROsen-
dale cement, and pour il on the stones
until all the intricacies are filed. AS
soon as the grOuting is set, spread a
layer Of good cement mortar one inch
thick over the top of the pavement.

Cattle Killing Trees.

II is a fact that all careful farmers
must have noticed, that a tree seeming
ever SO thrifty and of whatever kind,
to which cattle have access, and I'M
der which they stand, will soon die. In
the case of solitary shade trees in pas
lures, or standing by the roadside,
this il q common occurrence, and the
question naturally arises, why is it?
First, rubbing is injurious, and if We
persisted In will commonly destroy
them sooner or later; but if the tree be
cascd 40 their neeks will not touch it,
death will cnsue just rs certainly if
they are allowed to tramplc around il.
But why should trampling the earth
destroy the tree? The reason is one Of
wide importance to the laws Of vegeta-
bic growth. The roots of plants need
the air just as much as do the leaves
and the branches. Their case is SINH
lar to that Of fishes-though they have
water they must have air, namely,
about as much as permeates the water.
If il be all shut of, so that none which
is fresh can get to them, they will ex-
haust the supply on hand, then die for
want Of more. So the roots Of trees
and vegetables want air. When the
earth is in normal or natural cOndi-
ton, il is full of channels by which the
air gets TO them. But if cattle arc al
lowed to trample down the earth, and
the sun aids the work of baking il at
the same time. a crust like brick is
formed that shuts of the moisture, and
the tree soon dwindles and dies. So q
tree cannot live il its roots are covered
with thick pavement they will
struggle for life by creeping to the sur.
face and hOisting out brick here and
a stone there, or find crevice where
their noses can snuff little fresh air :
but If fought and kept down will
finally give il up. From the above
facts think cattle of no benefit To or
chards, and the farmers who still per-
sist In yarding their stock of cattle In
their orchards must expect the trees to

The Andrew County Republican. [volume] (Savannah, Mo.) 1871-1876, 1872-04-03
DEMOCRATIC

August Belmont, Chairman of the
National Democratic Committee, called
a political caucus at Washington a few
days ago, ct which some forty Demo-
Gratis from both Houses Of Congress
were present. The question of holding
a National Convention was freely and
fully discussed by Casserly, Frank
Blair, Stockton, Bayard, and others.
The feeling was Enthusiastically against
calling a convention ut this time, or
indicating any positive policy until
after the action Of the Cincinnati Con-
vcntion is known. Any coalition with
Republicans, it was admitted, must 30
made OH the question of strength only.
There must be no surrender of Demo-
cratic principles. 1t was advised that
no Democrats should participate in the
Cincinnati Convention. There wal less
disposition to indorsc Judge Davis
than was expected; and. indeed, when
the time IN for calling a conven-
ton, jeff. Davis will stand . far better
chance of being nominated by it than
Judge David Davis, and VIC believe he
would get more votes than any rene
gade Republican put forward by those
who attempt to disguise their Democ-
racv by assuming to be Liberal Re-
publicans.

SALuTATORY.

In assaming control Of the ANDREW
EEPrBLIcAS, it is proper that a
lew preliminary words should be addressed
10 its readers, giving an outline Of tho
toursc to be pursued, with as few promises
bs possible; .os those who are continually
making rash promises are equally proficient
Ia breaking them, as a rule.
The politics Of the paper, it is needless
% say, will be, as it has been heretofore,
hnfinchingly and uncompromisingly Re-
publican. The principles held by that
great national party are either right or they
krc wrong. Either the great body of the
people have been grievously misled and
deceived for the past twelve years in elect
6ng and re-clecting Republicans, year after
fear, to control the affairs of the American
Republic, or tLat vast body was an intelli-
kent, thinking one, knowing what was
tight, and, knowing, dare maintain it at
whatever hazard. We believe this great
arty has always been right on all grand
rational questions; We believe it is right
low; and, 50 Ear ~ in US lies, our energies
hall be bent to the task of securing one
more triumphant success for the party of
bcrty and progress. in the election of a
Republican Chief Magistrate of the nation
lcxt November.
We take pleasure in testifying to the
beauty Of the country in which We have
pitched our tent" Andrew County will
compare in agricultural richness, resources
Ind fertility, with any spot of land Of equal
compass in the world. Topersons seeking
kood farming lands, with every advantage
e irrigation, timber, &c, wo can truly say
his is the SPOT you are in search Of.
To all who have SO kindly extended the

recd-Democrats and Republicans have
Uniformly done so-wc return our most
rateful thanks. We have already begun

There arc very many in the county

%vitation to drop in and see us when they

to be hoped the citizens Of the various
bwns and townships will be sufficiently
bterested in the reputation of their own
cighborhood to keep the editor posted in

rBLIcAN live as long as Republican prin-
piles do in tho hearts of the American
eople. o. +. PAUL.
