COLD SLEEPNG-RooMs.-An erroneous
idea seems to prevail in regard TO the health
fulness four sleeping apartments; it is often
asserted that they should be cold in order to
be healthy; in alluding to this, medical
journal states that ga moderate amount of
heat is needed in a bedroom, but that mod
crate amount is needed in winter-time
There is no advantage in going to bed in
cold room, nor sleeping in cold room, nor
IN getting up and dressing in a cold room.
Persons may survive it; many have lost
health by it. To have the chill taken off the
air on going to bed and when dressingis is COM
Portable and healthful. A room under As de-
grees is q cold room for sleeping apart
ment, and sleeping in an atmosphere indoors
lower than that Is always hurtful, is ALWAYS
positively pernicieus, for the simple reason
that such a temperature causes the carbonic
acid gas of sleeping apartment 10 cUnupnse
and settle in the lower partlof the room, where
is breathed into the lungs with all its pernic-
ious results. Sleeping in a room cooler than
above named is especially dangerous to fee
BILE and aged or invalid persons, as it tends
to cause inflammation of the lungs. Persons
may sleep out-of-doors with impunity when
the thermometer is many degrees lower; that
is because the outdoor air is pure, is full of
life, full of oxygen, without any admixture of
indoor poisons; hence gives vigor of circu-
lation which keeps the whole body warmed
to its natural point, resisting cold and all dis
eased conditions" Cold, free, fresh air, out
side the house, is indeed quite a different
thing from cold, putrid air inside the house;
a fact which, in examining the causes of dis
eases, is too often lost sight of. Chimneys
and iues that have no fire in them, far from
ventlating, may rather become the means of
boarding and sweeping down disease into the

RULES FOR MEASURING Corn AND HAY

RULES FOR MEASURING CORN AND HAY.
TIE foundation of all the various rules for
measuring corn in bulk rests upon the follow
ing simple principles: 1. The height, length
and width multiplied together give cubic con-
tents of any solid, or if of any hollow struc-
ture its cubical capacity. If these dimensions
are in feet or inches, the contents found are re-
spectively cubic feet or inches. 2. Two heap
ed bushels of ears will make a struck bushel Of
sheled corn. 8. The cubic foot contains
1,726 cubic inbhes, a struck bushel 2,75O cub
ic inches. From these data almost any per
son can deduce rules for measuring a crib of
corn. Thus rule in common use, viz lake
cubic feet found and divide by twelve, gives
barrels of corn-five bushels to a barrel. a
measure universal in the South-is founded
upon the fact:that little less than 81 cubic
feet OF ears make one bushel of shelied corn
(4.3OO cubic inches of ears-2, $50 of shelled
grain.) 1t is a very safe method, considering
that there is vast difference in the yield Of
various kinds of corn, to reduce the contents
OF the crib to heaped bushels, and then shell
one OF these bushels and weigh the PRODUCT.
tits an easy matter then to arrive at the val
ue of crib of corn within very small irac-
ton.
To measure the contents of stack, of hay
proceed as follows: If it is a round stack, ts-
pering to point from the ground, measure
the width halfway between the ground and
the peak oil the stack; multiply this width by
itself and divide the sum by 1854; this will
give the average area of the surface covered
by the stack. Then multiply that by the
height from the ground to the point where
the width was measured. If those measure
ments are feet the sum found is the cubic
feet in the stack. If the hay is timothy, orch
ard grass, millet or Hungarian, 500 feet will
make ton, or cube eight feet each way.
II the stack is very solid, and was cut when
dead ripe, $50 feet will make ton, or cube
of seven feet each way. fthe hay Is mixed
with clover, 700 feet, or cube of nine feet
each way, will make ton. Ifit is all clover,
or light meadow grass, or red top, 500 feet
will be required to weigh a ton, unless it Is
pressed very hard. when some allowance
must be made. These estimates are made
from notes ofa great many stacks and mows
ofvarious kinds, and will give fair average.

WHEN the Warden of the Penitentiary on

WHEN the Warden of the Penitentiary on
Blackwelps Island asked Mr.. Tweed on his
entrance to that institution, the regulation
question, "What's your profession or occupa-
tion ?' the ex-Boss answered, 81 am states
man." Which recalls to mind the answer
returned by Sheridan to the watchman who
found him one night lying in the gutter.
''Who are you?" said the guardian of the
peace. The wit at once cast about in his
mind for the name which was as far as the
east is from the west from man in his deg
radiation, and, chucklng to himself, growled
out to his astonished questioner. William
Wilberforce. Sheridan, dead drunk in the
gutter, calling himself Wilberforce, does not
present richer spectacle than this arch-felon
on the island calling himself statesman.

BEE-KEEPING.-Bee-ke has, in some
instances, been made very profitable. 1t is,
however, uncertain. Much depends on the
season and on the pastuiage. Mr.. NJ. Quinn
by, in mysteries of Bee-keeping Explained
New York, 1861, says that an area of few
square miles in the vicinity of st. townsville,
N. r, in some favorable seasons, has furnish
ed for market more than 10000 pounds of
surplus money; and it is estimated that, in
good localities, every acre In the country
would yield pound. A single colony has
been known to give profit OF S35 in sea.
son; ninety stocks have given 5000 profit;
and New York apiarian reports, for 100
hives, $500 profit in a single season. Ow-
ing to the difference in the seasons, it is
impossible to know how many stocks can
be kept in given localities in the United
States In 1850 few colonies of the Ital-
ian or Ligurian bee Apis tgustica), which
had long been favorite with European
apiarians, were imported into the United
States whers they are NOW among the most
popular, prolific, and profitable bees kept in
the country. Their superiority over the ma
tive bee appears in their larger size and great
er beauty; they are more prolific, longer
lived, more industrious, less sensitive to cold,
and they swarm earlier and more frequently,
and continue later than common bees.
