Cause Of Lamp Explosions.

1t is not the oil that explodes, but the
vapor or gas that is generated from the oil.
The vspor, when confined, or under pres
sure, Is as explosive as gunpowder.
A lamp may be standing on a table or
msntel, and slight puff of air from an open
window or door may cause an explosion.
A lamp may be taken up quickly from a
table or mantel, and quickly exploded
The lamp is taken out into the entry
where there is draft, or out of doors, aud
an explosion ensues.
A lighted lamp is taken up a fight el
stairs, or raised quickly to place it on the
msntel, resulting in an explosion. In thest
cases the mischief is done by the air move
ment-either by suddenly checking the
draft, or forcing air down the Gimme,
against the fame;
Blowing down the chimney to extinguisl
lamp is frequent cause of explosion.
Lamp explosions have been caused b.
using a chimney broken off at the top, 0
one that has piece broken out, whereof
the draft Is variable and the fame un
steady.
Sometimes a thoughtless person puts
small wick into large burner, thus lesvin
considerable space along the edges of tn
wick. An old burner with its air-drii
clogged up, which rightiully should b
thrown away. is sometimes continued In US
aud the result ia an explosion.

Bees in Spring.

Az soon as Spring opens, our bees should
al be examined by lifting the frames of each
hive, and II the stocks are weak. the bees
are shut to one side of the hive by means of
division board, so as to keep up the nee
sssary heat for blood.rearing on ss many
combs as they can cover. As soon as the
queen has filed these combs with eggs we
spread them apart. inserting an empty comb
between those occupied with brood, and in
. few days time the queen will fill this one
also and 30 we keep on until every availa-
BILE cell is occupied with brood. Thus II
will be seen that instead of the queen lay
ing her eggs on the outside of the cluster,
she lays them in the centre of brood-nest
where they should be. Alter the hive is
full of brood and bees, it does not make SO
much difference, as the weather is warm
and bees are plenty, SO that the queen can
deposit her eggs anywhere in the hive. Al
soon as the strongest stocks are full. take q
frame of brood just gnawing out, and place
it in the weaker ones, giving the strong one
an empty comb for the queen TO 6ll again
and so keep ON until all are iull.

70 Ascertain the Weight Of Live Cattle

II is often important for those who are
not experienced judges by the eye, to have
some means beside the scales of ascertaining
the weight of cattle while living, and BY
following these approved directions this can
be done within mere triae.
Take string, put 1t around the breast,
stand square, just behind the shoulder blade;
measure on foot rule the feet and inches
the animal 10 in circumference this is call
ed the girth: then with the string measure
from the bone of the tail which plumbs the
limo with the hinder part of the buttock;
direct the line along the back TO the fore
part of the shoulder blade take the dimeu-
sions on the foot rule as before, which Is
the length, and work the figures in the fol-
lowing manner: Girth Of the bullock, say
six feet inches, length, FIVE feet three inch
o., which multiplied together makes thirty
one superficial feet and that multiplied by
t~enty-three this number of pounds is al
lowed to each superficial foot of cattle meas
uring less than seven and more than five
feet in girth,) make 713 pounds. Where
the animal measures less than nine feet and
more than seven in girth, thirty-one is the
number of pounds to each superficial foot.
again, suppose pig or any small beast
should measure two feet in girth, and two
along the back which multiplied together
make four square feet, that multiplied by
eleven, the number of pounds allowed each
square feet in the girth, make forty.four
pounds. Again, suppose a calf a sheep,
ETC., should measure four feet six inches in
girth, and three feet nine inches in length
which multiplied together, make l5i square
feet, then multiply by sixteen, the number
of pounds allowed to cattle measuring lesi
than FIVE feet aud more than three in grth
make 265 pounds The dimensions of ths
girth aud length Of back o. cattle, sheep, ,calvel
or hogs, may be exactly taken this way 81
it Is at all necessary for any computation ol
any valuation of stock, and will answer ex
actly to the four quarters, singing the ofal
sum which every man whs can get ieven
bit Of chalk can easily figure. e.-Rurai Nea

Governor Commons address.

We present 20 our readers, on an extra
sheet, this week, the full text Of Governor
Connor's address to the Legislature. Ii
seems 10 be the fashion, this year, 10
write extremely lengthy public docU-
ments. But if they were sll so well
phrased and 50 full Of interesting facts
as is the one before Us. this defect might
be readily overlooked.
A considerable portion OF the message
is devoted to our financial affairs. which
seem TO be somewhat deranged BY
falling of OF receipts. Strict economy,
and minimum appropriations are recon-
mended by the Governor, that The balance
may be restored during the current year.
He also recommends a slight Increase OF
taxation. Military affairs (undef which
head be speaks good word for our mill
tia), the Attorney Generals report, Land
office. Savings Banks, Schools, Insane
Hospital, and all other Stste institutions
receive careful attention. Ia conclusion
he speaks OF the resources OF Maine and
slludes to the attempt to give the nation
s debased currency in terms which can
not be misunderstood.
A comprehensive, sound and ingenu-
Gus document is Governor Conuor's sc-
dress-positive where s declaration Of
faith is advisable, thrusts no crochets.
or useless theories upon the people. /.
is very lear being model State docG-
meni. These comments ara simply 10
call attention to the message. and should
in no case prevent careful reading OF
the entire paper.
