than the labor or feeding. Hunts
Merchants Magazine gives several
experiments showing the cost Of pork
making. In one, 100 hogs were fed
100 days with As much corn ss they
could eat, and each bushel Of corn
gave an increase Of 10 1-s pounds Of
animal, or s.25 pounds Of dressed
pork; in other words, ID. Of pork re-
quired Q Ia pounds Of corn. Tho
corn was fed in the ear.
According to this, 8 cents . pound
for pork 10 the same as IS cents =
bushel for corn; 4 cents is 33 cents
for corn; 5 cents is A cents for corn;
and 0 cents is so cents per bushel for
corn. This would not pay In many
places without fattening hogs mainly
on apples, which some farmers do u
great profit.
! A smaller experiment was mado
with cooked meal, which required
little lees than four pounds 70 pound
u pork.
We know several farmers who osti-
mate cooked food a. twice the value Of
grain. Different breeds
would doubtless give quite different
resnlts.

The Supreme Court of California has de-
cided tie case of Biddle Bogss vs.. the MERGED
Mining Company-rcver,ing the judgment of
the Court below. The question involves the
title OF Fremont to the mineral wealth of
his MaripcSa claim. The Court decides
against Fremont, and that fec simple to

gold extracted therefrom. This is consider
ed great triumph for the miners George

Col Fremont carried out with him re-
lease given by the United States Government
of all their claims to the mineral wealth in
the Mariposa claim ; and as tie decision of
the California court rested wholly on the
United States claim the decision does not
in any way affect COL Fremont's title to the

Intoxicating liquors being brought to the

lions, have seen any member on the Repub-

degree, to the fact that almost every member
is attended by some portion of his family
