A Missouri correspondent of the Rural
World gives the follawing rule for meas.
urIng corn in the crib.
Our county paper published a rule, and
said it was passed by the last Legislature,
but whether it really passed as this paper
published it--in the interest Of stock men
i don't know. The rule is this
Reduce the solid contents to cubic
riches and if the corn is shucked, divide
by 1900, which will give the number OF
bushels of shelled corn; but it the corn
is not shucked, take one quarter from the
number of cubic inches thus found, and
divide the remainder by 1900. Now, in
Il pen 9x9xlO, there is about IL bushels
less by this rule than the old rule we
have always used. So, you see it is II
considerable item. A very nice thing
for people who buy Il good deal of corn.
You would please a number of sub.
scribers around here if you would in
v~estigate and give us the truth about
the matter. | will give the rule we
have always used here
Reduce the solid contents to cubic
inches, and divide by 2,l5O, and take n
fifth for shuck, and One.half for cob, and
you have the number of bushels of

A Wonderful Well,

The deepest artesian well in the world
is now in progress at Pesth, and has al
ready reached a depth OF 05l metres
Oils feet. The well at Paris, which il
5l7 metres in depth, has hitherto held
the first place in such achievements.
The work Is carried on al the expense of
the city, which has granted a sum equal
to 100000 for the purpose, with the in
tention Of obtaining an unlimited sup
ply Of warm water TOR the municipal es-
Establishments and public baths. The
water at present issuing has a tempera-
ture l6l degrees Fahrenheit, and the OPP
eratiOns will be continued until that OF
us degrees Fahrenheit is obtained.
About 10000 gallons OF the liquid
stream out daily and rise TO a height OF
IS feet. This amount will not only sup
ply all the wants Of the city, but is eX-
peCtod to convert the surrounding dis
tricL into Il sort Of tropical garden, by
the constant evolution of heat. Since
June last the boring has penetrated
through 200 feet of dalomite, and the
preceding strata passed through have
supplied Il number of interesting facts
to the %geologist, which have been noticed
from time TO time in the Hungarian
academy Of sciences. The difficulties
to be overcome have given rise to many
highly ingenious engineering devices,
such rs Il method for driving nails, At
the enormous depth above mentioned,
and more, the means of drawing them
(by magnets, Of cutting Oft and pulling
up broken tubes, and, above all, a valua-
bic mechanical apparatus by means OF
