soda-ash, or a mixture of 1 part medicinal carbonate of magnesia and 4 parts magnesian limestone. The mixtures, 
of course, all lost weight considerably by the evolution of water and carbonic acid. 
4 Made with unburnt bones. 
5 In this first season neither the weight nor the measure of the offal corn was recorded separately; and in 
former papers the bushels and pecks of total corn (including offal) have erroneously been given as dressed corn. 
To bring the records more in conformity with those relating to the other years, 5 per cent., by weight has been 
deducted from the total corn previously stated as dressed corn, and is recorded as offal corn ;' this being' about the 
probable proportion, judging from the character of the season, the bulk of the crop, and the weight per bushel of 
the dressed corn. Although not strictly correct, the statements of dressed corn as amended in this somewhat 
arbitrary way will approximate more nearly to the truth, and be more comparable with those relating to other 
seasons, than those hitherto recorded.
