STATE ELECTIONS.

Observation-Disclosures from 80 counties have
that the federal gain in the Gubernatorial vote,
50 far, has been $50. There are 70 coun-
ties in the State. Last year Brown, (dem.)
the present Governor, was elected by 1850
majority over his federal opponent, Foster. 1t
will be seen that his (Brown's) majority has
already been absorbed. and of course he is
beaten.
Six Democrats, out of the eleven Represen-
tatives to Congress, are said to be elected. If
this be true. the representation in the next
Congress from Tennessee, stands as it did last
session.
The returns of the election for members to
the State Legislature indicate that that body
will be composed of a majority OF feds. So
we go.
Acknowledgements the democratic can
didate for Governor in Alabama, has been
elected by a majority of 5000 over Davis, his
federal competitor. The delegation in Con-
gress stands democrats and feds. Federal
gain Of one The democrats will have ma
jority of % in the Leg islature on joint ballot.
INDIANA-The federalists have gained 2
representatives to Congress from this State
Last year they had 2, and now they have four.
Local iealouses are said to have been the
cause of this result. The delegation will
stand democrats to feds Dobson, one of
democratic candidates, is said to have been
beaten by only tCelve votes.
KENTUcKY-The result of the COMPRESSION
al election in this State, shews 4 clear gain OF
one democrat The feds have elected 6, and
the democrats 4.
IowA.-It is reported that both Thompson
and Letter, (dems.) are elected by from 500
to 700 majority. The Legislature is also de-
mocratic This secures the election of two
democratic senators next winter from Iowa.
ILLINoIs.-Maj. w. a. Richardson, dem }
is reported TO be elected in the district lately

Fattening Hogs.

1t has been demonstrated that in
iattening hogs, great saving of food
IS made by cooking; and we believe
that very considerable improve
ment in the quality Of pork is like
wise effected by that process. From
experience, we should altogether
prefer pork, either for eating fresh
or for sailing, that had been fatten-
ed on daily slops, with cooked
potatoes, pumpkins, or apples, mix
ed while hot with aportion Of meal,
either OF corn, rye, barley, oats and
peas, or huckwheat. We know the
idea is prevalent that the best pork
Is made from "hard corn and cold
waters" some, indeed, who allow
their hogs vegetables and slops du-
ring the first part Of their fattening,
conilne them wholly to corn for a
short time before they are killed, in
order, as they say, to "harden" the
pork. We are convinced this is err
roneous. In the western part ofthc
county, where in many cases nothing
but corn is fed to hogs from the time
they are able to swallow it till they
are slaughtered, the pork is notori.
ously more oity, and not as well tas-
ted as that which is made in sections
where avariety offood is used.
In feeding store swine, the advan-
tage Of cooked food is not so obvious.
THE digestive organs can manage a
small quantity Of raw food even
though it be Indian corn, and are
prcbaly able to extract the nutri.
ment fully from il but IL tho raw food
isihcresscd beyond a certain amount,
The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1847-09-24

it will not be thoroughly digested. We
have heard it argued that if it were
necessary to restrict hogs to shor,
allowance, it would be best to give
the food raw, because the longer
time required for its digestion, KEEP,
the animals longer free from the
pangs of hunger. 1t must be be-
lief similar to this, or the result OF
actual experience, which induces
the Irish people, (according to Mr..
Coleman, to cook their potatoes so
slightly as to "leave stone in the
middle.' We confess the idea is not
to MS unreasonable. But when it is
wished to Eaien animals it become 5
an object to have them consume as
great quantity Of food daily as can
be perfectly digested, because the
sooner they consume given amount,
the greater will be the proportion of
flesh or fat accumulated. Cooking
does the work, in part, of digestion,
aud by thus assisting the functions Of
the animal, enables it to dispose of a
larger quantity, while at the same
time. it is disposed in manner most
profitable to the feeder.
From the middle Of September to
the middle oiNoy ember, the pump
kin is one of the best articles of food
for hogs which the farmer can have.
BY the way, we deem the pumpkin
crop the most profitable that can be
grown. For the production of rich
butter, we know Of nothing equal to
ii, it comes in just when there is
usually deficiency of gIass-ieed.-
For fully two months they may be
used to excellent advantage and with
but little trouble. For COWS il is on
ly required TO cut them and feed
them in their managers, or break them
in pieces on clean swarI ground
For hogs they should b. boiled in as
little water as will answer TO cook
them, when soft they should be mash
ed fine, and about one-fourth oftheir
bulk of meal intimately mixed in.-
Good ripe, sweet pumpkins, cooked
in This way, with a little whey or
skinned milk, will make hogs fattcn
as fast as any food We have ever
used.

mater Rated Hemp.-Although
Missouri is unquestionably the great
hemp growing State of the Union,
still it is subject otregret that her
agriculturalists, thus far, have paid
but little attention to the process Of
water-rotting. A few years ago
there was some excitement got up
among them in reference TO the sub
ject, butth process of rotting then
in vogue proving unhealthy it was
abandoned, and thougha better, and,
indeed, entirely unobjectionable
method has since been introduced,
still do our farmers hold alooi, nor
avail themselves of the improved
system.
On the other hand, the hemp grow
ers of Illinois, evincing praiswor-
thy spirit of enterprise, have gone
largely into the new water-rotting
process, and the results, as thus far
shown, are entirely conclusive of the
success ofthe experiment.
More than year ago, a company
was formed at Springfield, Illinois,
called the American Hemp compa-
ny. This company entered into a
contract with the Government, thro'
its agent here, John Smith, Esq, OBJ
ligating themselves to furnish Civ
en- quantity of watcr-rotted hemp
which should stand the proper tests,
within a designated period. The
company were unfoytunate, however,
in the destruction ofone of their fac
tories by fire, in consequence Of
which the Government has been len
lent to them, in regard to the pre- else
period of fulfilling their contract
Thus far, there have been thirty tons
only delivered, though the parties
confidently calculate on the delivery
of three hundred tons by the fist oil
January next.
The amount thus far delivered has
been in three lots, the result of as ma
ny rottings, and the manner in which
the tests have answered, will be seen
| below.
1t is required by the Government
agent, that in hatcheling 100 pounds
Of rough hemp, not more than lt
pounds oftow shall be removed, be-
fore the hemp be submitted to the
test of strength, a rope of twenty
one strans, and which is II niche,
in circumference, is then required
to suspend 1900 pounds. Fit stant
this test, and the hemp be ofthe prop
CT color, the sample is received. w,
should state, however, that five sue.
cessive trials of this kind are made
and the amount of weight which each
spe cimen is able to bear, is noted
down. These are added together,
and divided by five, when if the re.
suit shows strength equal to the re-
CURED standard, it is considered sat.
isfactory.
From the three lots received, the
proportion of tow distracted from
one hundred pounds of each, was as
follows In the first, l3 46-l00 lbs;
in the second, IA 62-lO0 lbs; in the
third, ID 57-l00 lbs, so that, in each
instance, the quantity fell short OF
that allowed by Government. The
result was as follows; The average
weight borne by one specimen was
1870 lbs; Of another, 1,393i lbs;
and of the third, 1857 2-3 lbs, thus
showing that each specimen was ma
terially stronger than was required
by the tests.
Indeed, the intelligent and expcr-
fenced agent here is of the opinion,
that no stronger or better hemp can
be produced, the world over, than
that which is the product of this We
ry region. Louis ReUeiNe.
