Weighing with the Tape Measure

The only instrument necessary is measure
with the feet and inch marks upon it. The girth
is the circumference of the animal just behind
the shoulder blade. The superficial Feet are OBJ
tanned by multiplying the girth and length.
The following table contains the rule to ascer-
tain the weight of the animal:
If less than one foot In girth, multiply the su-
perfcial feet by sight; if less than three aDd
more than one, multiply the superficial feet by
sixteen hess than seven and more than FIVE,
multiply the superficial feet by twenty-five if
less than nine and more than seven, multiply the
superficial feet by thirty-three if less than elev
en- and more than nine, multiply the superficial
feet by forty-two. Example: Suppose a pig to
measure in girth two feet, and length one foot
nine inches; there would be three and half
feet, which, multiplied by eleven, gives thirty
eight and half pounds as the weight of the an
imal when dressed. In this way the weight of
the four quarters can be substantially ascertain
ed during life.-S0RtkeT CHlfirdtOr.

He Knew Him Like m Rock,

This story comes from Bangor, Maine; Near
Bangor, in a little village, there dwell, many
years ago, lay member, who kept week days a
country store, and on Sundays he would preach
or exhort around among neighboring towns,
where he could find vacant pulpit.
He was man of Timber tongue and could sell
Yankee notions and preach the Gospel very
handy.
1t was his way to load up a wagon and peddle
through the country, leaving his store in the
charge of his wife while absent.
Finding himself too far from home, one Satur-
day, to get back, and having sold out his load
except few dried apples, he gave notice that he
would preach the next day to the pOple.
Many gathered to hear him. His text was
"And by their fruits We shall know them" He
handled this subject in his usual gallant manner,
and, closing up his sermon with glittering par
agraph, be REPEATED the text. ayes, my friends,
ana by their fruits we shall know them"
Just at this point retail grocer in the place,
who had dealt with him the night before, jump
ed mp and said, loud enough to be heard all over
the honse: eyes, friends, and by the worms in
their dried apples, too"

Price. Of Celebrated Horses.

some curious data about the prices of celebrated
horses, from which it would appear that good
horse-hesh has always been dear. At Newman
ket, in 1904, bay colt, by Pipato, sold for s75,s
900. In the same year two year old colt by
BenningborOugh, two year old by Volunteer,
and three year old filley by Sir Peter, sold
for SIS 900 each. For the celebrated horse Stark,
$4,000 was refused, and O'Kelley declined to ac-
cept an offer of 500 900 for his stallion, Eclipse.
Tradition says that the Duke of Devonshire re-
fused for Flying Chlders the weight of the horse
IN gold A few years ago the great sire, Stock
well could not be bought for 10000, and, when
Gladlateur was carrying everything before him
on the English turf, the Count de LaGrange
would not have parted with him for Sl50,O0O.
Nes[iy sIo,VVo were paid for Lexington, and his
der refused s5o,QOO for Asteroid, Kentuckys half
brother, and Normandy, another half: brother,
was valued at $40,0 900.

Gros. and Net weigh, OF Animals.

A reliable London journal mentions that a Sc.
ries of experiments have been recently tried to
demonstrate, as far as practicable, the exact
loss sustained in the slaughter of different kinds
IN animals The result has not been satisfacto-
~, for the reason that very much depends upon
the breed of the animal. and more upon its con-
dition at the time of slaughter.
An approximate result has been reached, and
these are the figures:
An OK weighing 1922 u.s. will be divided as
follows: Meat, 6714 fbs.; skin, 110.2 fbs.; tallow,
81 fts.; blood, 55.1 fbs.; feet and hoofs % fbs;
head, IL fbs; tongue, $50 lbs; lungs and heart,
1888 bs; liver and Spleen 20.05 fbs.; intestines
66.15 bs.; loss and evaporation, 154.32 fbs; max.
ing total of 1922 lbs.
Taking the meat alone, it will weigh not much
over fifty per cent of the live weight. If we
add the skin and tallOw, it will be about sixty
two per cent, of the weight of the animal when
ready to be slaughtered. 1t is, therefore, as safe
to sell stock at 50 per hundred, live weight, as
to butcher them and sell at SIS dead weight,
hide and tallow included.
As to sheep, they will average about as fol-
lows: Taking one that will weigh ITO fbs there
will be of meat So fbs skin, lbs; talOw, tbs.;
blood, 4 fbs,; tongue, lungs, liver, and Spleen 4
Bs.; intestines, 6 fbs.; loss and evaporation, 10
fbs.i making ITO lbs.
If mutton is selling at an average of II cents
fore and hind quarters, the farmer should have
at least per cent. live weight, and anything
less than this gives more than fair profit to the
butcher.

HERE is a new way of treating the broken legs
of horses, which ought to be generally known:
After the leg is set cover it thickly with plaster
When the plaster hardens, it will keep the iimo
as immovable as if made of iron. Thus treated,
broken leg, it is asserted, will knit together in
a short time and become as good as ever.

In Philadelphia on Saturday, December Is,
when the temperature was low and the weather
Intensely cold, an alarm of fire was turned on at
one of the stations but the instrument failed to
operate. A second attempt at the next street
corner succeeded, and the fremen aroused and
the fire subdued. Six hours thereafter the
alarm first turned on sounded, and the 6remen
called ont to a false alarm. No one had touched
the instrument in the meantime. The fact has
excited wide comment. This is only paralleled
by the ancient story of the tunes being frozen in
the horn of the stage driver, and afterwards
played when hung up by the fire at the inn.
