there was raised in this county las;

difference in The price Of this article,
this season, between Chicago and st.

article Of wheat, and We shall estimate
the difference in reduced freight and
the better price obtainabl, at s.
Lanis at 35 cts. per hushel. II we
estimate the amount sold at nearly one
tenth Of the amount raised or at $4,000
bushels and sold at 35 cents over and
.bose present prices, we shall have the
sum Of sl7, 500 as the amnnn, saved to

increased il two or three years hy tie
same causes that VII increase the wheat
crop, we can pa, down the sasin. in

The census report shows that at the
Time it WAS takeu--an il was taken in
the different townships aurin., the
months of January, February and
March last that there were ,4s5
hogs o! all a.cs IN the county, from
which We can infer tha, probably abont
S 600 are sold annually, averaging not
less than o0o pounls of pork each,
which would make Get, 600 pounds
sold. Now if we estimate the saving 4,
one penny ponnd-whifh is Il very
low cs.imate-we have Sta 0u0 saved
on this item. In two or three years
this will be SIS 900.
