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.
