It IS to be observed, however, that in very fat Cattle the four quarters will be about one-twentieth more, while in those in a very lean state thfy will be bne-twentiieth less than the weight obtain^ by the rule.- The four quarters are little more thui half the weight of the living animal ; the skin weighing about the eighteenth part, and tbe tallow about the tvfelflh part of the whole. \ PO days. ■i851.] rnirig.. pniny.

In the temperate climates, the rains and the winds are variable. As we advance towai'ds the polar regions, we find the irregularities of the wind in- creased, and storms aud calms repeatedly alternate, without warning or pro- gression. More than two- currents may often be traced in the atmosphere at one time by the motion of the clwds, &c. "Tllfe force of the wind does not always decrease as the elevation in- creases, but, on the contrary, is often found to augment rapidly. In Great Britain, upon an average of ten years, westerly winds exceed the tsasterly in the proportion of eleven to seven, and the northerly winds exceed the southerly as nineteen to seventeen. 31 days.jBi851.] Memorandum for December. 27 oinmg. oriiing. orning.

TIMBER MEASURE. The following is an easy mode of estimating the quantity of timber in any tree, no matter in what form it grows; get to a con- venient distance and keep changing your position until the height of the tree seems to be eqjial to the distance you are from it, then measure the distance — Suppose it to be 20 paces, which will give 60 feet for the height of the tree ; then with a string take the circumference of the tree at five feet from the ground, double the string and reject one half; the other half gives the mean or aver- age circumference, that doubled four fold is called the girt or side of a square equal to it, suppose 11 inches, and the height 60 feet, which will give a load of 50 feet. A VALUABLE TABLE. The following valuable table was first published in Mr. Ruffin's Farmer's Register. 80 The Canadian Farmer's Almanac. A liox 24 by 16 inchea square, and 22 deep contains a barrel, or 10,752 cubic inches. 11 8 8 8 (( 24 *' 16 a « « (( (( « « 12 8 8 7 4 « (C c< « i< « (( half barrel, or 5,376 bushel, or 2,150 4-10 half bushel, or 1,075 peck, or 537 6-10 4 2-10 half peck, or 268 8-10 4 8-10 half gallon, or 141 4-10 4 2-10 quart, or 67 2-10 These measures come within a small fraction of a cubic inch of being perfectly accurate ; as near, indeed, as any measures of capacity have ever yet been made for common use.

A Farmer's Baromiter — Take a stick three feet long and attach it to the butt end of a vial, full of air of course and corked tight. The stick is then suspemied in a horizontal position on a pivot, where it will readily turn, say on a thread tied near its centre. When the storm is coming on the air outside is lighter than that in the phial ; of course the phial sinks and indicates a change in the atmosphere. Such a barometer may be made in ten minutes, and some of our young philo:^ophic farmers, will incline to have barometers of their own manufacture. ■> /Vv^v/\/^y^,•^/W^ / *y^ / VA/^/>/\^/>.'%''v/%/^^^ A Ready Rule for Farmers. — We have been frequently asked to explain the difference between the price of wheat per quarter and per barrel. The simple rule by which every man can ascertain this for himself is this: Multiply the price per quarter by 7 and divide by 12 ; the result will give the amount per barrel. Thus, 56s. per quarter multiplied by 7, and divided by 12, gives 32s. 8d. per bar- rel. 88 The Canadian Farmcr^s Almanac.
