The present price is one doltar per gal

The process, for which Messrs. F. g.
r. have patent, is different from the
French or English process, and also diff
ferent from that formerly pursued by the
manufacturers in Cincinnati. By the old
process the stearine was almost worth.
less,except for making soap. BY the pres
rent process the stearine makes good can
dies and is also an excellent article Of
lard for southern climate, having becn
rid in a measure Of its oily qualities.
The loss therefore by this process in com.
paratively nothing, while by the former
it is considerable
1 We consider this invention as one Of
the greatest Importance TO the Vest
Heretofore, pork has been complete
drug in the market. The farmer was
unable TO sell it Cor enough to pay HIN,
for his labor, and but few il any of our
farmers have been able to realize the
cash for it at any price. Hereafter it will
become in measured cash article. Not
only can the leaf lard be manufactured
into oil, but large part Of the pork
This Of course will have the effect to in
crease the demand Of pork and at the
same time raise its price. Lard oil is
not only good substitute for sperm oil
for lights, but is said to be preferable TO
any other oil for machinery. The steam
boats aad several Of the cotton and wool
en- factories IRE already using It exclu
sively for their machinery. The effect
OF this discovery must be beneficial to
the-country, if in no other way than
by producing competition in the
oil trade and thereby reduce its price,
while at the same time it will increase
the price OF one Of our largest staple ar
ti:.es.
We are informed that Messrs. Bridg-
man and Partridge arc having the princi-
pie part Of the light pork cutup by them,
with the exception Of the hams and Shout
ders, manufactured into oil. Nessrs.
Farmer and Kennedy, as before stated.
are the owners Of the right for this Ter
ritory. We hope some Of our cntcrpris-
ing citizens in the other counties will
give them call, and start manufactures
in some Of those counties. They can be
found at Burlington where they intend
making their head quarters.
40 an additional item Of Importance to
our farmers, we would state that light
pork is as good as heavy for the manu-
facture Of lard. The great object, and
that which renders it most valuable for
this purpose is to have it we'll fatted-the
(atter the better.
