How Many Acres in this Field !?
J. II. Stahl IN American Agriculturist.

j. II. Stahl IN American Agriculturist
If one asks how many acres there are
in any of our fields, nine out of ten of
us wills say: ooh, about - acres. This
guesswork is one of the serious defects
in our practice; we guess too much.
Let us be more accurate and know each
month just where ives tand. We can
not tell just how much we have gained
or lost by crop unless we know how
much land it has occupied. If it has
occupied about so much land, then
we do not really know anything about
it. To measure fields with straight
sides and square corners is an easy mat
ter; the length multiplied by the
breadth will give the area. If there is
hollow running through the field, get
its length by measuring along either
side certain distance from the central
line, and multiplying this by the aver
age width. No matter how many bends
there may be in the central line, follow
it; if the bends are equal both ways,
you will have the exact length if the

in one direction, measure it, or else
measure along both sides and take one
half of their sum. When the area oc-
cupied by the hollow is thus determin-
ed, subtract it from the gross area of
the field as previously ascertained.
B0rThe famous Illinois cattle feeder,
John H. Gillett, after carefully study
ing the matter, in an experience of
many years, now says there is only one
profitable system of feeding, and that is
to feed the calf literally every day from
its birth to its maturity for beef. He
once thought it well to feed the calf
moderately the first winter, on the idea
that it would gain faster the following
summer. But he has quite abandoned
this view, after careful consideration of
the facts in his large experience. This
last view is in keeping with the sound
est principles in the philosophy of feed
ing.

NEWSPAPER VS.. MEDICINE.

In the Civil Court on Monday the
case of the Press Publishing Co. ys.
DIR. IL. johnson Speer & Co., as
sumpsit for S29.25, was heard.
From the evidence it appears that
the plaintiffs made contract with
the defendants for the insertion of
an advertisement, it was amended
by the direction of the manager and
appeared for thirteen weeks. DR..
Speer, on being called, stated he
told the collector to discontinue the
advertisement when he first called.
He said he would speak to the mana
ger. After the advertisement was
first published, Speer called on the
manager, and the latter particularly
refused to publish it further. The
next week other matter submitted
to him appeared in the paper, and
when the bill was presented, he told
the publisher to discontinue it. No
authority was given since to publish
it. Judgment was given for the
defendant. An appeal was noted
to the intermediary Court.

The Louisville correspondent Of the

meht:
"You would be surprised" contin-
ued Prof. Huntoon, ITO see our base
ball mines play a game on their dia-
mond, which you see beneath those
shade trees. The catcher takes his
place behind the batter, spreads bis
feet apart, and holds his hands III
grasping position. The batter calls
FOR high, low or medium balls, as the
case requires, and the pitcher advances,
measures the height of his own body.
returns to his box and counts one, two.
three, and as the latter passes
his lips throws the ball and
the batter strikes. If he
misses, the catcher gets the ball, but If
he hits it he can only make one base
until the fielders find the ball, and then
he has the privilege Of continuing the
run, and, II possible, make a home-run.
It is very seldom they make errors,
and 1t is simply wonderful how well
they play the game. They have lists
Of all the clubs in the country, both
League and Union, and each day they
play each nine assumes the name Of
some crack professional club; and
when playing they don't allow any see
ing person TO interfere, except to find
the ball when lost. The girls play
lawn tennis, croquet and many out
door games on the lawn, while every
child in the institution becomes mas
ter musician on some instrument dur
ing its course.

A BengaIese Saint.

Liverpool Post.
A remarkable saint has recently
made his appearance in Bengal, and
has power to effect miraculous cures
of professedly incurable diseases.
During the recent cold weather he
passed fifty-one days in a tank, by
keeping nearly the whole of his body
under water, and now he is living in
side grave six feet deep. This has
been wholly covered over with mason
ry, keeping only a small hole (the di-
ameter of which is only about two
inches) through which to serve
him with his daily food, SIM
ply consisting of an orange,
or pomegranate juice, with one
almond only. In this state he will re-
main for fifty-one consecutive days,
and through the hole string has been
placed into the grave, one end of it
being tied to a bell suspended on a
bamboo post, to enable him to give an
alarm in case Of any danger or mis-
hap. He also uses it to respond to
calls inquiring after his health, signi-
flying thereby that he is all right.
The saint entered the grave with his
bedding, some holy books, two or three
bottles of rose water, and one or two
vials of altar Of roses, after which the
opening was blocked up, barring the
hole, and then, levelllng the place with
earth, some greens were sown, which,
being regularly watered, thrive nicely.
The saint has taken the rose water to
wash his face, hands and feet before
saying his prayers. A money order
came to his address from Bombay,
which, being rolled up, was dropped
into the grave through the hole. 1t
was shortly after passed back duly
signed by the holy man.

The Hello Girl.

PIttsburg Dispatch:
One should be honest enough with
himself and have sufficient considera-
tion for the comfort of the public not
to knowingly or Intentionally indulge
in fool talk. The public ear is dump
ing-place for nearly all sorts Of stuff,
yet there are many loads too foul or
too foolish to be allowed to mingle
with the conglomerated mass already
there. The talker knows how rotten
his stuff is and ought to be governed
accordingly.
The hello girl in telephone ex
change ought to have pretty good
idea Of what the public ear has to
endure. Day in and day out she has
poured into her ear mass Of talk that
is well calculated to set an ordinary
mortal crazy. There Is usually large
percentage Of sensein what she hears,
while the reverse is true Of the public
ear. Cranks, light weights and added
heads pour the largest quantities into
the public ear. 1t is light, cool and
free from any positive qualities, yet, it

conclusion that there are circumstances
under which deafness may be d bless

Referee Tate has been sent for to make

An Improvement In Schools.

Whatever may be said Of our COM
mon school system, it is evident that
the interest in educational matters has
grown wonderfully in this section Of
Kentucky. Schools Of high order have
been and are being established in near
" all the counties, and the improve
ment in the county schools is marked.
AS an evidence of this fact we can
name a dozen schools which afford the
very best opportunities for the educa-
tion Of the young. Marion has fine
academy, Fredonia has good school,
Salem Is not lacking in this respect,
Kattawwa has a handsome building
and good school, Princeton has long
been an educational center, Madison
vile has schools to which there are no
superior, Providence boasts Of edaca-
tional advantages, and Caseyville is
making an effort to build a fine school
building; all these are institutions
Of a high order and in radius Of for.
ty miles; besides these, higher branches
are taught in many Of the common
schools. If the rising generation is not
educated, it will be the fault Of parents
and guardians, and not the want OF op-
