Weights and measures
lire the standards used to
find the sites of -things. In
neatly all odmtMes of the
world, people now use the
medic system as the stan-
dard of measurement. The
United States and a very
few other countries contin-
ue to use the old customary
system of measurement, although in 1975, Congress passed
the Metric Conversion Act allowing for a voluntary changeo-
ver to the metric system. So much for volunteerism!
The metric system was developed in France in the 1600's but
wasn't fully accepted by other countries until the 1800's. it re-
placed the old English System wherein "three barleycorns,
round and dry" was the standard for the tach. Not much of a
standard when you take into consideration the differing sizes
of barley!
The original metric system took as its standard the metre, 1/
10,000.000 of the distance from the North•Pole to the equator
along the line of latitude which ran through Dumkerque. The
orlginal.measurement standards have been rtplaced by more
accurate ones, and thereris an International Bureau of Weights
and Measures which can change the metric system as neces-
sary to refine its accuracy.
1 have come across some strange weights and measures, such
as kilderkin, palm, perch and rood, all of which help me real-
ize the value of the metric system mode and more.
I also found in an old book I have, some farmers's short rules
of.arithmetic.
• To find the number of tons of hay in a mow, multiply the
length of the mow in feet, by the width in feet and divide by
400 if it is well settled (500 tor new hay), and you have the
number of tons in the mow.
• To find the number of bushels in a grain box or bin, multi-
ply the length in feet by the height in feet by the breadth in feet
and then again by 8. Cut off the right hand figure and the result
will be the number of bushels.
• This is one of my favourites, ( and something that would be
very useful to use on those cattle which have been raised on
the range) to find the weight of cattle, multiply the distance
around the animal (back of the foreshoulder) in feet by itself,
and the result by 17.5 and you have very close to the weight.
For a more accurate result, instead of multiplying by 17.5,
multiply by five times the length of the animal in feet (measur-
ing from the forepart of the shoulder to the bone at the tail)
and divide this product by 1.6 for the average cattle, (very fat
by 1.425; very lean by 1.575) and you have the dressed weight
of the animal.
I have not yet learned how to convert recipes from Imperial
to Metric, but here is one that no matter how it is measured
Brenda thinks it will be a welcome addition to your entertain-
ment menu.
Ann's Cheese Fondue
Hollow out one round crusty loaf of bread. Cut the bits you
remove into .chinks and just before serving. bake.1haitn 10-15
__amtesin 14sp. eewxt 2 tap.,oil. Mix togisiberend place
in the hollowed out bread:
1 in cups sour cream
2 - 3 oz. pkg. Philadelphia Cream Cheese (You can use one
plain and one flavoured if you want)
1 tub Imperial Sharp Cheese
1 can minced ham
I2 cup minced green onions
1 tsp. worcestershire sauce
Wrap tightly in foil .and bake at -350 about 1 hour and ten
minutes. Stir and serve with the bread cubes. I think that it
might be nice with a variety of raw vegetables or crackers as
well.

.ALLSA CRAIG - After the. au rn-

Church women met in OD/Sunday
School room for their September
meeting. The purpose of the UCW
was reviewed and the following
poem was read:
Continued witness is our goal
When onward now we press
We've had some very joyous times
As well as tines of stress
In study Lord teach us the way,.
Teat you would have us go.
In fellowship our growth is strong
The path for service know.
Christ is our hope our way our all.
So stand and counted be.
Renewed to wiuiess for our Lord.
In service full and free.
To prepare for the.woxship ser-
vice some relaxation .nmsic was
played and the hymn Weis Stand
Among Us" was sung, after which
Margaret Wilson conducted the
service.
During.lhe.progtam all the ladies
