in yards by the width in yards. and
that by half the altitude in yards, and
divide the product by 10. TO lind the
number Of tons in circular stacks.
Multiply tho square Of the circum-
terence In yards by four times the alti-
tudc in yards, and divide by 100. The
quotient will be the number of cubic
yards In the stack. Then divide by ID
to get the number Of tons.

FEcuNDIrY or GRA1N.-A single plant
of corn, either wheat, barley, or oats :,
by beng allowed proper time and am
pie space for the full development Of
Its roots, leaves and branches, is natur-
ally capable Of producing eighty ears
or four thousand fold. Anomalous,
however, rs this may appear, yet it is
certain and as strictly true, that not
ftlty-fold, or one perfect ear, is obtained
from each grain planted throughout
the entire breadth Of the United
Kingdom; and it would require q
countless number of ifs, and butts, 70
prove the contrary, though but few
words to substantiate the truth of this
assertion, namely, "I'hat were it so. as
necessary consequence 100 bHshels
per acre would be an average crop, viz ::
iifty times as much as is sown, say at
two bushels only per acre as seed for
wheat, barley and oats; but 1t is TACT,
not TOO much to affirm, that scarcely
half this much-incredible as 1t may
appear at first Sights actually OBJ
tanned; about 80 to 80 Dushols per acre
being fair average crop of all kinds of
grain, so estimated by the most able
and trustworthy statisticians."

reprinted by desire. Make II custard
without any flavor, Of Il pint Of cream
and four yolks Of eggs. Put into this a
quarter of Il pound Of freshly. roasted

possible, be used hot. Cover up the
stewpan closely with Its lid, putting Il
napkin over to keep IN the steam. Let
the custard stand for an hour, strain
and sweeten, and when cold put 1t into
the freezing pot. Cream thus prepared
will not take the color Off tho coffee,
and when carefully made Is very deli
cate and delicious. Coffee Ice cream is
also made with strong infusion of
coffee. TO mako tho infusion, put two
ounces of freshly ground coffee into Il
French coffee pot and pour over 1t a
gill of tast-bOiling water. When tho
water has all run through the strainer,
take out the coffee grounds and replace
them with two ounces of fresh coffee.
Pour the coffee infusion In tho bottom
OF tho pot over these fresh grounds.
Then pour the coffee infusion thus OBJ
tatned into Il pint of swcetenel cream,

HORSE CATARRH OR COLD.-EhiS dis
ease may be considered under two
points of view, either as an Inflammation
Of the mucous membrane Of che nasal
cavities, accompanied by slight fever
or as an ephemeral fever of three or
four days duration, complicated with
this condition Of the nose. The latter
Is perhaps the more scientific definition,
tut for common purposes 1t Is more
convenient to consider 1t simple
catarrh or cold. There is invariablo
some degree of feverishness, sometimes
very considerable, at other, SO slight rs
pulse Is accelerated to about fifty or
sixty, the appetite is impaired, and there
Is often sore throat with some cough
On examining the interior Of tho nos
trils, they are more red than natural
at first dry and swollen, then bedewed
with water discharge which soon be-
comes thick, yellow and in some cases
purulcnt. The eyes are generally In
yolyed, their cOnjunctival coat being
injected with blood, and often some
slight weeping takes place, but there Is
always an expression Of sleepiness or
dullncss, partly to the general impair
mont Of tho health. The disease is
caused In most cases by chill either
in or out Of the stable, but sometimes,
even In the mlldest form, 1t appears to
be epidemic. The treatment will great
ly depend upon tho severity OF tho
disease; usually II bran mash cOntnin-
ing from six drachms to an ounce of
powdered inter IN it. at night, for two
or three consecutive doses, will suffice,
together with the abstraction of corn
and If the bowels are confined, Il mild
dose of physic should be given; such as
six drachms Of finely powdered barba-
does alocs, two drachms Of ginger, and
one pint Of linseed oil (rnw). Should
the disease extend 10 tho bronchial
tubes, or tho lungs, competent ply
sican must be called in.

EFFECTs OF DEW UrON PASTURES
The heavy dews which are u.ual III late
summer and carly fall, and the light
hoar frosts which occur as the cooler
weather arrives, are unwholesome to
cattle and sheep. 1t may be that the
well known effect OF dew in this dlrec-
ton gave rise to the old-fashioncd idea
that due was in Itself injurious and
caused various diseases. There is moth
Ing In the character Of tho dew itself
which Is hurtful; but it is the filling of
the stomach with wet heritage that Is
unwho.csomc. The stomach becomes
disten.ed with the products of. the de-
composition of the wet mass, and in
time the ANIMALS suffer. Danger may
be avoided by Keeping the stock, espe-
cially young animals,' frcm tho grass
until tho dew has dried Off. Tho dan
ger is not so serious until tho shorter
days and longer nights Of tho fall cause
all excessive deposition Of dew, when
care should be exercised.

LAsIPAss IN HORSES --LampaSs is an

than swelling and tumcfacliom of tho

jccting 30 far as to be on level with

in the teeth of the horse continuing

but In a majority OF such cases the
swelling will soon subside without any
medical treatment, few mashes anI
gentle alternatives being all that is
necessary to relieve the animal. In
the case Of young animal Il few
slight inclstons across tho bars with Il
sharp penknife will relieve the intlam-

side. The brutal custom of burning
down The bars with rcdhot iron Is as
unnecessary as 1t is cruel, and should
therefore never be practiccd.
