ESTRAYS.


Horses, mules, asses, neat cattle, swine, sheep, or goats found straying at any time during the year, in counties where such animals are not allowed to run at large, or between the last day of October and the 15th day of April in other counties, THE OWNER THEREOF BEING UNKNOWN, may be taken up as estrays.


No person not a HOUSEHOLDER in the county where estray is found can LAWFULLY take up an estray, and then only UPON or ABOUT his farm or place of residence. Estrays should not be used before advertised, except animals giving milk, which may be milked for their benefit ..


Notices must be posted up within five (5) days in three (3) of the most public places in the town or precinct in which estray was found, giving the residence.of the taker up, and a particular description of the estray, its age, color, and marks natural and artificial, and stating before what justice of the peace in such town or precinct, and at what time, not less than ten (10) nor more than fifteen (15) days from the time of posting such notices, he will apply to have the estray ap- praised.


A copy of such notice should be filed by the taker up with the town clerk, whose duty it is to enter the same at large, in a book kept by him for that purpose.


If the owner of estray shall not have appeared and proved ownership, and taken the same away, first paying the taker up his reasonable charges for taking up, keeping, and advertis- ing the same. the taker up shall appear before the justice of the peace mentioned in above men- tioned notice, and make an affidavit as required by law.


As the affidavit has to be made before the justice, and all other steps as to appraisement, etc., are before him, who is familiar therewith, they are therefore omitted here.


Any person taking up an estray at any other place than about or upon his farm or residence, or without complying with the law, shall forfeit and pay a fine of ten dollars with costs.


Ordinary diligence is required in taking care of estrays, but in case they die or get away the taker is not liable for the same.

SUGGESTIONS TO THOSE PURCHASING BOOKS BY SUBSCRIPTION.


The business of publishing books by subscription having so often been brought into disrepute by agents making representations and declarations not authorized by the publisher ; in order to prevent that as much as possible, and that there may be more general knowledge of the relation such agents bear to their principal, and the law governing such cases, the following statement is made :


A subscription is in the nature of a contract of mutual promises, by which the subscriber agrees to pay a certain sum for the work described ; the consideration is concurrent that the publisher shall publish the book named, and deliver the same, for which the subscriber is to pay the price named. The nature and character of the work is described in the prospectus and by the sample shown. These should be carefully examined before subscribing, as they are the basis and consideration of the promise to pay, and not the too often exaggerated statements of the agent, who is merely employed to solicit subscriptions, for which he is usually paid a commission for each . subscriber, and has no authority to change or alter the conditions upon which the subscriptions are authorized to be made by the publisher. Should the agent assume to agree to make the sub- scription conditional or modify or change the agreement of the publisher, as set out by prospectus and sample, in order to bind the principal, the subscriber should see that such conditions or changes are stated over or in connection with his signature, so that the publisher may have notice of the same.


All persons making contracts in reference to matters of this kind, or any other business, should remember that the law as to written contracts is, that they can not be varied, altered or rescinded verbally, but if done at all, must be done in writing. It is therefore important that all persons contemplating subscribing should distinctly understand that all talk before or after the subscription is made, is not admissible as evidence, and is no part of the contract.


Persons employed to solicit subscriptions are known to the trade as canvassers. They are agents appointed to do a particular business in a prescribed mode, and have no authority to do it in any other way to the prejudice of their principal, nor can they bind their principal in : ny other matter. They can not collect money, or agree that payment may be made in anything else but money. They can not extend the time of payment beyond the time of delivery, nor bind their principal for the payment of expenses incurred in their business.


It would save a great deal of trouble, and often serious loss, if persons, before signing their names to any subscription book, or any written instrument, would examine carefully what it is ; · if they can not read themselves, should call on some one disinterested who can.

TO MEASURE CORN IN THE CRIB.


This rule will apply to a crib of any size or kind. Two cubic feet of good, sound, dry corn in the ear will make a bushel of shelled corn. To get, then, the quantity of shelled corn in a crib of corn in the ear, measure the length, breadth and height of the crib, inside of the rail ; multiply the length by the breadth, and the product by the height ; then divide the product by two, and you have the number of bushels of shelled corn in the crib.


To find the number of bushels of apples, potatoes, etc., in a bin, multiply the length, breadth · and thickness together, and this product by 8, and point off one figure in the product for deci- mals.


TO ESTIMATE THE AMOUNT OF HAY IN A MOW.


Find the number of cubic feet by multiplying the length by the breadth, and that product by the height, and allow 512 cubic feet for a ton.


The above rule no doubt approximates as closely as possible to a correct standard, the num- ber of cubic feet required for a ton, varying a little on account of the different degrees of pres- sure to which the hay has been subjected, and also with the quality of the hay as regards fineness.

MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION.


INTEREST TABLE.


A SIMPLE RULE FOR ACCURATELY COMPUTING INTEREST AT ANY GIVEN PER CENT. FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME.


Multiply the principal (amount of money at interest) by the time reduced to days ; then divide this product by the quotient obtained by dividing 360 (the number of days in the interest year) by the per cent. of interest, and the quotient thus obtained will be the required interest.


ILLUSTRATION. Solution.


Require the interest of $462.50 for one month and eighteen days at 6 per cent. An interest month is 30 days ; one month and eighteen days equal 48 days. $462.50 multiplied by .48 gives 222,0000 ; 360 divided by 6 (the per cent. of interest) gives 60, and $222.0000 divided by 60 will give you the exact interest, which is $3.70. If the rate of interest in the above example were 12 per cent., we would divide the $222.0000 by 30 (because 360 divided by 12 gives 30) ; if 4 per cent., we would divide by 90 ; if 8 per cent., by 45 ; and in like manner for any other per cent.
