COST OF PORK MADE FROM CORN. 265 



on his corn one dollar per bushel, without counting 

 the manure. 



The amount of pork required to meet the demand 

 for consumption- and export, may be partly judged 

 from the fact, that the total receipt of hogs in New 

 York city for the last year was about six hundred 

 thousand, and the amount exported from the same city 

 was nearly one hundred and twenty thousand barrels. 

 As the demand is likely to increase more rapidly than 

 the supply, farmers will probably find it their interest 

 to augment their stock of hogs, and turn them to the 

 best account by feeding them up to a heavier weight 

 than usual, before sending them to market.
