The Firwood Progressive To Measure the Wood la a lot About the best method for the tie termination of the amount of cord wood that cap ho obtaiued from a log is as iouows: In smooth, straight-uplifting timber, a log four leet in diuuieter and four feet long would mako one-halt cord of wood, as after it is split it will pile up enough to make the srjuaro of the diameter of the log ; 4x4 equals 10 toet, and fuch a log 12 foet long would niakd three cuts or one and one half cords. In rough, knotty wood, it will pile up slightly moro, .but the method is fairly correct, bark includ ed, for any timber. Formula would be 4x4x12 equals 1!)2 d'vidod by 128 equals ono and one-half cords. For Ki-incii stove wood. 4x4x13 equals 1113 divided by 43 pquals four and a half ricks. Rutabagas and Wurzels. Rutabagas contain 1 per cent di gestible protein, 8.1 per cent carbo hydrates and 0.2 per cent fat. Mangel wurzels contain 1.1 per cent of pro tein, 5.4 percent oirhohvdratt s and 0.1 per cent fat. They each contain about the sauio per cent of protein, but the rutabaiias contain more carbo- hydarates, as you will notice by the analysis. Dairymen would therefore, in balauoing the rations for their cattle use something with a greater I per cent or carbohydratos with the Associa-1 wurzels than with the rutab igas.
