INDIAN COEN. 



As there is, at the present time, an unusual scar- 

 city of hogs in the United States, there is every reason 

 to believe that the range of prices for pork will rule

 the last six years. 



The farmer, therefore, who converts three pounds 

 of corn into one pound of pork, allowing the corn to 

 stand him in thirty cents per bushel, which is more 

 than it ought to, will bring the cost of his pork at less 

 than two cents per pound, with a prospect of realizing 

 not less than seven cents, which will make the profit
