FATVENING HOGS.

On the first day of December four
shoals Of the same breed, nearly of size,
and as much alike in every respect as could
be selected from herd of ninety odd hogs,
were made choice of, each carefully weigh
ed, and placed in a separate stye, where
their food could be exactly regulated.--
They weighed between 8 and 100. The
two whose weights together made 1855
pounds, were fed on one gallon Of shelled
Indian corn weighing seven pounds to each,
for every "a hours, and asmuch water as
they wanted. This quantity of food was a
plenty for them; generally they about con
sumed it. Some five or six different days
between the first Of December and 4th oil
