CORN PORK. 



According to the Patent Office Reports, and the results 

 of numerous experiments, 1 bushel of corn weighing 56 Ibs. 

 will produce 10 J Ibs. of pork. Throwing off to come at 

 the net weight, gives 8| Ibs. of pork as the product of 1 

 bushel of corn, or 1 Ib. of pork as the product of 6f Ibs. of 

 corn. 3 Ibs. of cooked corn-meal makes 1 Ib. of pork. 

 Assuming that it requires 6f Ibs. of corn to make 1 Ib. of 

 pork (exclusive of the labor of feeding and taking care of 

 hogs), the relation which the price of corn bears to that 

 of pork is exhibited in the following 



TABLE, showing the price of pork per Ib. at different prices 

 per bushel for corn. 



Corn per bosh. Pork per pound. Corn per bush. Pork per pound.

By reversing the above table we have the price of corn 

 per bushel at different prices per Ib. for pork. The use of 

 the above table is obvious. For example, should corn be
