ments in Cincinnati, where they dry out
600 hogs day, the entire animal exclu-
sivc OF the hams, is reduced to q grease
spot by u remarhle summary process.
1he factory has seven large circular tanks,
OF an aggregate capacity to hold SO 900
lbs. These tanks receive the entire car
cass, barring the hams, and the mass is
subjected TO steam process, with pres
sure of 10 lbs on the square inch, which
dissoives it rs the aquafortis bath melted
the Yelled Prophet. Every dropof OLE
aSlnous juice is squeezed out of the
quadruped, and its bones are reduced TO
powder. The fat is drawn OFF, and the
rcsidum used as manure. The idea of
feeding the Unsuitable tanks with a contin-
uous stream of hogs, just as you would
feed the hopper ola mill with corn, has
something grand and startling in it. One
wonders that the porcine genus does not
run out under the tremendous consumr-
ton; for there are upwards of thirty of
these factories in Cincinnati alone, and if
they use up 200 hogs per day for three
months in the year, it involves an an
nual annihilation of half q million of
swine. The sows in that region must be
remarkably prolific. And only think of
treating the creatures as the French do
frogs cutting off their hind legs for the
table and making light of all the rest of
the carcarcass? Awful waste, is it MOI?
Wo never heard of a rasher proceeding.
Anecdote Of fFianklin-Doct Frank
lin and /, (said Jeicrson) were sometime
together in Paris, and we dined one day
ina mixed company of distinguished
French and American characters. The
Able Raynal and Franklin had much
conversation; amongst other things The
French philosopher observed that all
things IN America degeneratcd, and lie
made many learned and profound oh
servatons to show this effect of the eli
mate on people, although recently from
a European stock. Franklin listened with
his usual patience and attention, and, af-
ter the Abbo had finished, pleasantly re-
marked, that whcrca difference of opin-
ION existed, it was the custom of delber-
alive assemblies to divide the house; he
therefore proposed that the Europeans
should go to one side of the room, and
question might be fairly taken. 1t so
happened that the Americans present +,
were stoutmcn, full of life, health and
vigor, while the Europeans were small,
meagre and dwarish. The Doctor, with
smile, cast his eye along the lines, and
Raynal candidly acknowledged the refu-
tation ofhi theory re
