Dressed Weight OF Hss..

Farmers who have had but little experience in
feeding animals for the market, are often disap-
pointed because their beef and pork does not
weigh as much as they thought it would. They
are likely to overlook certain points which ought
to be taken into account when estimating the
dressed weight of animals. LIST, age; an old ami
NAL will not dress as much in proportion to its
looks as q young and growing one. I'd, fairness !;
a creature which will weigh great deal more
than one equally as large, but which has not
been well fattened. Sd, grain fed; an animal
which has had twenty or thirty bushels of meal
will dress much heavier than one which was in
equally good order when the fattening cOmmenc-
ed, and which may lOok,equally we'll when it is fin
ished, but which has only been fed half as mnch
meal. 4th, how long fed grain ; a creature which
has been mealed for five or six months will weigh
more than one which had about the same guam
tity of meal, but which has been fed only about
half as long. In all cases, liberal and long con-
tinued feeding is essential to the attainment OF
any very great success in fattening animals of any

0Now is the time to be looking for next years
seed corn" very correctly says the Prairie Farmer
Every spring we hear on all sides complaint OF
had stands Of corn. Sometimes these stands are
so bad that the fields are abandoned and the crop
lost again, half crop is made, and it is not a
rare occurrence that when crop of forty acres
is garnered, the yield falls short hundreds OF
bushels, owing TO the bad stand obtained m the
spring.
Now it is not doubted that these bad stands
are the general result of an inferior quality OF
seed used Let the seed be perfect, and ii prop
erly planted the stand will generally be perfect
In the fall is the best time to secure seed corn
You can then form a better judgment as to
whether or not the ear is perfectly ripe, and all
of its imperfectiOns are more easily detected
And then after you have secured sufficient
quantity for seed, it is easier to preserve that
quantity, SO that its generative qualities will not
be injured by the winter, than it is to preserve
your whole crop.
We once knew of an experiment where thou
sand grains from an ear of corn, that had been
gathered in the fall and carefully preserved
through the winter, were planted, and nine hun
dred and ninety-eight of the grains sPrOuted and
came up. Select and secure your seed corn in
the fall, and yOn will be repaid for your labor
hundred fold.

Corn which gets fully ripe before the early
frosts is much better than that which is only
about half matured. There are varieties grown
which would be first rate if they were perfectly
sure TO ripen but in short seasons they do not
get well matured. But by selecting the seed in
the lot, before the crop is cut so as to make
of getting the ears which ripened first, and fol-
lowing this course year after year, these latter
varieties may be made to ripen before there is
apy danger of frost. We know a man, who, by
following this course many years, has caused his
corn to ripen two weeks earlier in the season
than it did when he began. He goes into the
field when the husks begin to turn brown and
selects the ripest ears and, far rs possible he
takes them from the stalks which produce two
good-sized and perfect ears. These are husked
and put in cool place, where they will keep
without heating. We recommend his example
TO other farmers, worthy of imitation.-N E.

REMEDIES FoR CoUGHs.-The London Lane.

REMEDIES FOR CoUGHs.-The London Lancet
says: "Anodynes, narcotics, cough mixtures, and
lozenges are practically of no good, and but too
often increase the debility and hasten the fatal
end. The best method of easing cough is to re-
sist it with all the force of will possible, until
the accumulation of phlegm becomes greater,
then there is something to cough against, and it
comes up very much easier, and with half the
coughing. A great deal of hacking and hemming
aud coughing in invalids is nervous, purely nerv-
Gus, or from the force of habit, as is shown by
the frequency when thinking about it, and the
comparative rarity when the person is go much
engaged that there is no time to think about it,

How TO Have Beautiful nyaeinrhs in Winter.

Late in December, after our fall stock of bulbs
was disposed of, we found "a dozen more hya-
cinths of various colOrs which had been overlook
ed. To keep them from spelling they were hast
lily planted in four five large pots, and these
set away in an out-buiding, where they would
be free from frost and have very little light.
There they were left for three months, and moth
ing done except to water them occasionally. Ex-
pecting little or nothing from them, they were
not noticed till leaf and flower stalk were both
perfectly developed. The light had not been suf-
cient to color the flowers, and these were all OF
a dirty pale green. The pots were now brought
to the sitting room and placed in the full sun
shine, and in q few hours each spike had assum-
ed its natural tint. The effect was very beauti-
full. Not a bulb had failed-red purple, yellow,
blush and white were all large and perfect

who had been accustomed to administer 10 the
spiritual needs of a congregation in the back

he made his preparations accordingly. He first
removed his eravat aud then his collar and cuffs,
and then his coat, and was proceeding to get rid
of his vest, when there was stir among the

as well be understood before he goes any further

Rew 20 Prevent the Spread Of EPizoetie and
Contagious Diseases Among Cattle.

A correspondent of the London Live Stock
.Iosrnal states that three years ago, two of his
cows showed symptoms of the foot and mouth
disease, (epzOOtic aphtha). He had his three
other COWS removed to another stable. The next
morning one of these was also found frothing at
the mouth, and be had her returned to the dis
eased ones at the cattle shed. The surgeon that
was called pronounced the disease the genuine
s'foot and mouth" and insisted that it was use-
less to remove the well ones, as it must run its
course through the whole lot. But this advice
was not followed. The diseased animals were
kept to themselves and the Others had Jumps of
rock aalt, kept in boxes; and two feet from each
cows head, a small box was CONSTRUCTED, in
which was placed piece of camphOr, and after
wards some disinfectng carbOlic powder. Car
bolic acid and water was also sprinkled in the
shed where the diseased cattle were kept. The
same man attended both lots, and the two cows
separated from the sick ones, and treated as
above never showed any symptoms of the dis
ease. They we're only kept in at night, being
allowed TO Craze in the fields during the day.

To GUESS at the weight of live cattle, measure
in inches the girth around the breast, just be-
hind the shoulder-blade, and the length of the
back from the tail to the fore part of the Shout
der blade. Multiply the girth by the length and
divide by LA. If the girth is less than feet,
multiply the guotent by IL. If between 3 and
feet, multiply by 16; if between and Z feet
by %; or if between and feet, by 81. IL the
animal is lean. deduct 1-2Oth of the result, and
the answer is the weight in pounds. About six
tenths of this is the net weight.
