Corn and Hogs.

American Farmer. From carefully-conducted experiments by different persons, it has been ascertained that one bushel of corn will make a little over ten and one-half pounds of pork, gross. Taking this result as a basis the following deductions are made, which all our farmers would do well to lay by for a convenient reference—that: When corn sells] for oents per bushel, pork costs 1% oents per pound. When com oosts 17 oents per bushel, pork oosts 2 oents per pound. When com oosts 26 oents per bushel, pork oosts 3 oents per pound. When com oosts 33 oents per bushel, pork oosts 4 oents per pound. When bom costs 60 oents per bushel, pork oosts 5 oents per pound. The former statements show what the farmer realizes on his oorn when sold in the form of pork. When pork sells for 3 oents per pound, it brings 25 oents per bushel in oora. When pork sells for 4 oents per pound, it brings 82 oents per bushel in corn. When pork sells for 6 oents per pound, it brings 45 oents per bushel in oorn. Keep your sweet potatoes as near an even temperature as possible.
