How THEY USE UP SHEEP IN Tup
WEsT.-Ohio must be a great Golpo.
tha for hogs, cattle and sheep. They
kill hogs by hecatombs, and oxen bv
myriads, and what they do not salt
down they tumble into big watts, and
steam them up for lard and The talIow.
Sheep,too, haye to come up to the slaugh-
ter by the ten thousands. Ellsworth,
in his late report. gives the following
statistics OF sheep slaughtering. Mes.
Sis. HOLSTER & Boalt slaughtered last
year 800, which they say yielded, on
an average, nine pounds oftallow.-
Mr.. Holliser slaughtered about $500.
which averaged seven and "A halfpound,
of talow each.
In Cleveland,Mr Milford states that
$4,000 sheep will be slaughtered the
present season. He gives the follow
ing schedule Of cost and profits:
Cost hf sheep, each St.l2,
Cost Of slaugh.ering, &C., 10
Total cost. Sl.2 2t
Average VI tdiio", Q pOuHus, dt % ctS., A
3bs. Of wool, each a, SO cents, 80

so that they get pretty fair profit
per head. If the English Government
take off their tariff on lard oil, it will
open large market for that article,
and the way the pigs will have 10 bleed
will be caution to old porkcrs. This
manufacturing Of lard oil from pigs,
and of candles and soap from mutton
tallow, will prevent our ncighbors of
the fat prairies of the far west from
Cutting our markets by their hogs and
sheep, which they grow at a cheaper
rate than VIC do. and thus our home
market will remain unds.urbed.
