The following is given as q correct
rule for measuring corn in the crib:
Multiply the length by the breadth. and
this prodnct by the depth Of corn in
the pen. Multiply this again by Il,
and point off one decimal place. This
result will be the answer in bushels.
For instance, we have q pen of corn 48
feet long, "a feet wide, and 81 feet
high. Multiplying these three dimen-
sions together, We have $3.50 cubic
feet. Now multiplying this by A, we
have IS, 40. Pointing off the one dec
imal, we have, a. the contents of the
pen, 1877 bushels.
"A very good and cheap sled can be
made out of planks eight to ten inches
in width and two inches in thickness.
Plank raves an inch and q quarter in
thickness and six inches in width, are
better than poles. The outer edge,
from the front beam to the end of the
runner, or roller, to which the tongue
is attached. should be tapered. For .
strong sled, three beams will be re-
quired. Bore the holes for the stakes
through the raves and the beams. In
preparing the beams. make notch on
each side, five inches from the end, so
that an inch and quarter white oak
pin can be driven down through the
raves each side of the beam into t;le
runners. In preparing the roller for
putting in the tongue, make the NOR
ti3e in it about two by ten inches in
front, and two by twelve or thirteen on
the back side, and drive in heavy plank
wedges also from the back side of the
roller, and pin securely. The double
tree should be placed not more than
twelve or fourteen inches from the roll.

changes, perhaps, win serve avery good
purpose, where homemade one is
desired. Farm and F1reside.
A Glenburn farmer came into the
city, recently, and among other things
purchased some rice and q pintof whis-
Ky. Fearing that the bottle might gel
broken on the way home, he placed il
in the box containing the rice. When
he reached home and took the box
from the pung he found that the stop.
pie had got out of the bottle, and rice
and whisky were thoroughly mixed.
He dumped the contents of the box
behind the barn, and in a short time q
huge turkey came along, and, as he
was not as particular as the farmer,
g0bbled up the medicated rice. Short.
II after. this the farmer was greatly
surprised to find the turkey lying out
behind the barn ''dead as door nail y
and vowing vengeance on the man who
sold him whisky rank enough to kill q
turkey, he carried the bird into the
house. The farmer was soon after seen
carrying the naked bird las every
feather was gone with the exception 81
the wings and tail out behind the sta.

nextmorning when he entered the stable,
it being hardly light, he detected wha.
he thought was the ghost of that in.
temperate turkey, and could almost
feel his hair rise; but he made up his
mind to investigate the matter and
boldly advanced. Imagine his SIR
prise, on getting rearer, to discover
the bird shivering on the roost, and
looking at him with reproachful eyes
for having stolen his clothes while help
lessly drunk. At last accounts the tur.
key was doing as we'll as could be ex.
pected during that zero weather Ban.
