From the Farmer and Gardener.
MEASURING CORN*.
The following rule for ascertaining the
quantity of shelled coni, in a house of uny
dimensions, is by Wm. M. Murray, Esq. of
South Carolina, and was read before the St.
John’s Colleton Agricultural Society, and
communicated by them for publication in
the Southern Agriculluiist:
‘■Rule. Having previously leveled the
com in the house, so that it will be of equal
depth throughout, ascertain the length,
breadth and depth of the bulk ; multiply
these dimensions together, and their pro
ducts by 4 ; then cut off one figure from the
right of this last product. This will give
so many bushels and a decimal of a bushel
of shelled corn. If it bn required to find
the quantity of ear corn, substitute 8 for 4,
and cut off one figure as before.
Example. In a bull; of corn in the ear,
measuring 12 feet long, 11 feet broad, and
0 feet deep, there will be 310 bushels and
8-tenths of a bushel of shelled corn, G 33
bushels and 6-tenths of ear corn—as :
12 12
11 11
132 132
0 6
792 792
4 8
310,8 033,0
Mr. Murray demonstrates tho correct
ness of his rule thus :
In a cubit or solid foot there are 172S cu
bic inches. Suppose the solid contents of
a bulk of ear corn to be 792 cubic feet, as
in the above example, it is plain, if we mul
tiply this sum by 1,728, we reduce it to
cubic inches; divide this product by 2,159,
(rejecting the two-fifths as unimportant,)
and we evidently have the number of bush
els of ear corn in the bulk, i. e. about 3301
bushels, or about three bushels more than
was obtained by the operation of the rule.
But conceive 1728 and 2150 to constitute
together a vulgar fraction thus, 1728
2150 in order to arrive at the true number
of bushels, we have multiplied by the nu
merator 1728 and divided by the nominator
2150. Now the vulgar fraction, 9-10 is a
very near approximation to the fraction,
1728-2159 ; therefore, to multiply by 8
and divide by 10 would produce very near
ly the same result; this we have in effect
done by multiplying by the decimal, B.
The decimal 4 is used when the object is
to find the quantity in shelled corn, because
that decimal is the half of the decimal 8,
and it requires two bushels of ear corn to
make one of shelled corn. Iri using those
rules, a half bushel should be added for |
every hundred, that amount of error result- 1
ing from substitution of the decimals.
Recipes. —For Burns —Burns or scalds
may he relieved, and speedily cured, by an ■
application of ink and raw cotton, to take |
out the fire, and a salve or lard and Janies- j
town weed, to heel the wound. The salve
is inade.bv stewing the leaves or seeds of
the weed in lard, and straining through any
thin cloth. This is an excellent article for
sores of any kind. Fresh cuts are soon
healed by ils use, and if you have a horse
with gall or sore back this is a superior re
medy. Every family would act wisely to
always have the salve in readiness.
Another. —Another good remedy for
burns is a preparation one part of lard, one
part of rosin, and a half part of turpentine,
simmered togetiier till all are completely
melted. The burns, with an application,
should be washed daily and dressed with
fresh ointment.
For chopped Hands and Lips. —Wash
two or three times a day with tincture of
lobelia, or steaindoctors’ No. 6. Honey
mixed with water is said to be good.
For Croup. —Roast an onion, slice it, and
press out the juice ; mix this with honey or
brown sugar, forming a syrup, and a tea
spoon full every fifteen minutes till your
child is relieved. This is convenient and
a good remedy.
For Corns. —Keep them closely trim
med, wear large shoes, and you will never
suffer much pain ; by perseverance you
will, perhaps, out live yourcorns.
For Cross words and Bloody Deeds. —ls
you find yourself angry, pause long enough
to count ten before you speak, and if you
think there is danger of doing violence,
think ofthe ‘judgement,” and offerupa short
prayer before you strike the first blow, and
you will feel a brave and delightful relief.
For Head Ache. —Examine the cause.
Ifit is cold feet, put on woollen stockings
and thick shoes. If the cause of a foul
stomach, take a vomit, and not gormandise
when you cat.
To Select a Good Wife. —Choose a wo
man who has been inured to industry, and
is not ashamed of it. Be sure she lias a
good constitution, good temper, and has not
been accustomed to “ dashing ” without
knowing the value ofthe means, is not fond
ofnovels, and has no giddy and fashionable
relations, and you need enquire no further;
she is a fortune.
To Select a Good Husband. —Let the man
of choice be one who is punctual in his
promises, and is industrious, sober and fru
gal. He should not smoke cigars, read
‘•fashionable” books, or visit ball and thea
tres. Let him be dignified and have com
mon sense, and all will be well.-Tenues
see Ag.
GenTIRMKN. — I find that a good tabic
spoonful of spirits of hartshorn, given to a
horse util clod with colic, will afford in
stant relief.
It may bo put in a bottle, ami water c
nough added to drench with. lam indebt
ed to a medical friend for the prescription.
Much has been vvriten on the compari
tive value of cotton seed as for stock, und
as manure. It seems to me a strange
question. 1 cannot understand what
would excuse a man’s using as vuluablo
mi article of food us manure, while he has
stock to jeed it to. Its good effect upon
corn is astonishing, when applied as a ma
nure—but ifit was first passed through the
mill by the hogs and cattle, both being
kept well littered in their pens, the man
ure would be equally good and in greater
quantity—and in addition, a large amount
of pork and beef made. I have been feed
ing it freely to both cows and hogs, first
cooking it—and I think that 1 have lost
several hogs by it, because the careless ne
gro had not cooked the seed, but merely
warmed it. If properly cooked, n little
cornmeal or bran added, with salt and a
large shovel full of wood ashes to each
kettle full, there is no danger of injury to
the stock. Uncooked sound seed [ find to
he very bad for cattle, sheep and hogs.
There is one lady in this vicinity, whose
butter commands the highest price at all
limes, in the Natches market, who has fed
cotton seed thoroughly cooked to her cows
for twenty years. Some pretend to say
they can discover the taste of the seed, but
I think if the ashes be added, it will puz
zle them to do so. The cattle must of
course have an abundance of rough food
besides—and the hogs must have rooting
or grazing range enough according to their
kind.
You are correct, you and your corres
pondents. on the value of crab grass, both
, lor hay and pasture. I had several lots
plowed up last spring, and sowed in spring
oats, which have afforded abundant pastu
rage all summer since the oats were taken
off. But for either purpose, it is a long
way behind Bermuda grass. As pasture,
it is almost inexhaustible, thriving best in
warm, clear weather—and will feed a
greater number of animals on a given ex
tent than any other grass I have ever seen,
not excepting blue grass. Dr. P. I think,
saw my neighbor Col. Knight’s little vol
unteer meadow? No pains has been ta-
I ken with it. The grass came of itself, and
1 lias been regularly and closely mowed
-3 times each year. I determined to make
i a pretty close estimate of the quantity it
j yields per acre, on moderate good land,
and accordingly measured off one fourth of
an acre of average crop, where the grass is
well set just before the second cutting this
year—the first cuttting having been a heav
ier one. I had five cocks weighed, when
thoroughly dry—in fact it was sold on the
ground, and weighed to the purchaser—and
the average yield per acre amounted to
10,200 lb., or five tons two hundred weight!
The third cutting will bo almost as great.
What crab grass or fodder pulling will
equal this as a means of affording forage?
Now, there is no mistake in the calcula
tion. I went over the whole several times,
that there might be none. Last year,
Col. Knight’s estimate was six ions per j
acre at a cutting. Bermuda is a close
growing, fine, delicate looking grass.
When in meadow, it grows to the height of
12 or 14 inches—generally about a foot.
Vary frequently, when the scythe makes a
cut, the grass just stands solid on the
ground, as ifit had been undisturbed, and
has to be rolled out of the way with the foot.
At one time I was afraid to introduce it on
the plantations, it spreads with such rapid
ity, and can only be killed by smothering.
Corn and pumpkins—oats followed by
peas—or any such crop, 1 now find will
kill it. 1 may add that if any of your
readers, who are subscribers to at least
two agricultural papers, one ofthem being
published in the State they reside in, have
a desire to try it, I will with pleasure pack
a barrel of roots and ship for them as they
may direct me, if by mail post paid.
Yours &c.
