aette suggests that it would be
better to have no homestead ex-
emption, thus making everything
a man has liable for his debts. 1t
Is objected that occasionally a
hard-hearted creditor would ruin
nm honest but unfortunate family
by selling out their last stick.
There is little danger of creditors
going to such extremes. Public
opinion would restrain them, and
fit did not, the shot gun would.

To Measure Hay.

The following rules for measuring
hay are worth preserving:
The only correct way to measure
hay is to weigh it. It has been es.
timated, however, that rs cubic yards
of average meadow hay in the win
now makes a ton. When loaded on a
wagon, or stored in barns, 20 cubic
yards make a ton and when well set,
tied in mows or stacks Is cubic yards
to a ton.
To find the number of tons in a long
or square stack we multiply the length
and bredth in yards together and this
product by one-half the heigh in
yards and divide the product by Is.
To find the number of tons in a cir
cular stack we multiply the square of
the circumference in yards by A times
the altitude in yards and divide the re-
suit by 100. The qaotient will be the
number of cubic yards; divide this by
Is and the resalt will be the number
of tons.
To ascertain the value Of any num-
Der of pounds when the price per ton
is given we multiply the number of
pounds by n half OF the price per
ton and point off three figures in the
result on the right hand and the re-
naming figures will be the price of
the number of pounds gwen.

How TO Measure Corn.

TIE following rules for measur;n.
corn and finding the dimensions -
bins, will be interesting 10 farmers
and dealers in grain:
Having any numbe. Of bushels in .
bin and wishing to know the numhas
OF cubic feet in the bin, we increase
tho number of bushels one-fourth ~
self and the result will be the numb,
of cubic feet.
If we have the number of cubic feat
in a bin and wish to ind the number
of bushels it viii hold we diminish
the number of cubic feet one,6fth NJ
itself and the result will be the nun.
Der Of bushels.
To find the dimeutions of a bin
which shall contain a given number
of bushels, increase the number Of
bushels one>fourth of itself and the
result will be the aumber of cubic feet
in the bin. Having the solid contents
and two of the sides the third dimen-
ton is found by dividing the solid
cotents by the product of the two sides
given.
To find the contents of u pile of ears
of corn, or roots, in heaped bushels,
ascertain the cubic feet and multiply
by 60 100.
To find the number of bushels of
corn in the ear in a given crib, mul>
tiply the length in feet by the width
in feet, and that again by the height
in feet and this last by 63 and the re.
salt will be the heaped bushels of ears.
Multiply by AZ instead of SO and the
result will be the number of bushels of
shelled corn.
