AMOUNT OF PORK FROM A BUSHEL OF
CORN,

Our readers may have observed the pub
lished statements of the experiments of j.
B. Lawes, who obtained 100 pounds of pork
from seven bushels of corn or one pound of
pork from Al pounds of corn. The grain
was ground and moistened with water be-
fore feeding. This is regarded as success
full management. At the present time
when pork sells at 10 cents per pound, the
corn thus converted to meat will bring a
little over 81 per bushel, or at the former
rate of five cents per pound, the corn would
be worth II cents per bushel for fattening
pork. This estimate is based upon the sup
position that the manure pays for the grind
ing and feeding.
The experiments of Nathan G. Morgan
of Union Springs, published in the Annual
Register for 1864, present much more favor
able results. As mistake occurred in one
part Of that published statement, we here
repeat his mode and its results in correc-
ted form. He always commences fatten-
ing in the spring, at which time bushel of
corn is more valuable in it's results than in
autumn, and continues regular course of
feeding throughout the season The corn
is ground, and ninety pounds Of hot water
poured on every sixteen pounds of meal,
and after standing II or Is hours, the
whole mass becomes thick feed He finds
by measured experiment that the value of
the corn is fully doubled by this process, as
compared with corn fed in the ear and fifty
per cent. better than meal merely mixed
with cold water One bushel of corn thus
prepared, after deducting ten per cent toll
for grinding, and leaving only ffty-four
pounds for the bushel, will give 20 pounds
Of pork-or at the rate of q pounds of corn
for each pound of pork. When pork is five
cents per pound he obtains at the rate ofSl
per bushel for his corn, or at the present
time, when it is fifteen cents, the corn will
yield S3 per bushel.
A cOincident will be observed between
these experiments and those of Lawes as
above stated. While Morgan obtains by
scalding the meal, one pound of pork from
q pounds of corn, he gets fifty per cent
less, or at the rate of one pound of pork to
81 pounds of meal, when mixed merely
with cold water, which is within less than
half pound of the quantity of meal re-
quired in Lawes' experiments, when the
same kind of feed was used
Breeds and management will of course
vary the results in the many trials made
by \. g. Morgan he had every advantage
of good sound corn, comfortable quarters,
cleanliness, regularity of feeding, and quail
ity of breed. 1t may be well to state that
he has found the best sound corn double
the value of great deal that is used when
badly grown or imperfectly ripened, or more
or less mouldy.-Comtry Gent

Card.

Feeling very grateful to the citizens of
Columbus for the very liberal patronage
they have bestowed upon me in the ice busi-
ness for some years past, consider it due
them that should offer an apology for my
apparent failure to have on hand sutii-
cient supply of my own ice for the present
season.
This results simply from the fact that we
have had an unusually extended season of
warm, rainy and damp weather, during
which, it is well known among ice dealers,
that Ice wastes away in the ice houses and
elsewhere, much faster than in dry, hot
weather, and then takes more than the Or
dinary quantity, to supply the consumer
put up last winter at least 400 tons
more than lever had before for any one
season, besides making arrangements with
house at Sandusky to furnish me in case
of a deficiency with the required amount.
My stock running short about three
weeks ago, this Sandusky house, after fur
nishing me a few days, disappointed me
without giving sufficient notice to obtain
ice elsewhere, in time to prevent disap-
pointing some Of my customers. was
then Immediately compelled o,go farther
North and import large amount FROM the
Canada shore. - = ?.
l found there that this lack of ice is not
oHly loCdl, DuG Is general. tnrOugn0uC the
country, and the demand for it is very great
at greatly advanced prices from all sec
tiOns. - -.. .---..-..-., -..... ..... 40 -.
succeeded, however, in obtaining, as /
think, sufficient supply for the remainder
of the season at enormous expense, and am
now ready to meet the demand here at
prices in proportion; and if any of those
who have heretofore favored me with their
patronage have not been furnished lately,
they will oblige me by leaving their orders
at the Jewelry Store of f. A. & L. Les
quereux, where they will receive prompt
attention. ~ -.. .'.a 80 lN.' -
1t is proper to assure the public that |
have completed arrangements to erect an
immense ice house, in addition to those |
already have with which, hope to be able
to prevent such a contingency from ever
again happening to them or myself. =
believe | have done everything that |
could to accommodate and give satisfaction,
and | hope my customers will see that this
scarcity and consequent increase of price is
not attributable to the ice dealers here, but
results from circumstances against which
no human foresight could guard.

Trial of Ketchum and .BenIsins.

New YORK, Oct. 9--This morning coun-
sci for;young Ketohum announced that she
would put in aplea OF guilty to the indict-
ments charging his client with forgery. 1t
appears the prisoners proposes to plead
guilty, butas matters affecting his late firm
and their creditors are still pending and
unfinished, and his explanations and testi-
mony are still requiredby those interested,
1t is desirable to defer the plea to as late u
day in the present term as practicable
The District Attorney said such a request
was not unusual, and give, notice that the
plea must be put in on the last day OF the
term. This was agreed to. q. q ....-,...... .
The case of Jenkins, the Phoenix Bank
robber, was called this morning, and the
District Attorney announced that he was
not ready to proceed, besides he had learn
ed that jenkins was about to make a new
plea, which would be of kind that ought
to have very careful consideration. He
therefore requested thatt the case go over for
the term, to which Jenkins counsel said
Agreed" The Recorder gives. his assent.

A severe Enrthnunke.

SAN Francisco, Oct. Sat a quarter be-
| fore one to-day there was the seyerest
| earthquake ever felt here, frightening al
most the entire population into the streets.
| During half minute there were two treI
mendous shocks, causing buildings to rock
| TO and fro in manner altogether alarming.
Services were oyer in most of the churches.
The large congregation in the Unitarian
church were being dismissed when. the
shock commenced. Ladies shrieked, and
all rushed for the doors faster thad they
could be accommodated with exit room.
similar scenes took place at st. Mary's ca
thedral and in some other churches and
Sunday schools. The rush wasso desperate
from the Catholic church on Vale Joe street.
that the large doors of the main entrance
were carried away and several persons
were injured by being crushed. Many
buildings were crushed in many places. L.
surprises every one that large, stately edi-
iices like the Occidental and Cosmopolitan
hotels, and other buildings Of that class,
were-not generally more seriously injured.
More or less plasterrg g fell from walls and
ceilings of buildings in the city and much
window glass demolished. Fire walls and
cornices fell from many buildings. The
entire front of "a large four story br. TX
building just erected on Third street fell
outward, covering about half that wide
street with fragments. One independently
constructedlchimney of the Lick house fell
in, crushing in the roof of the dining room,
leaving piles of brick among the tables and
dishes, to the astonishment of the boarders
taking lunch. Three servants were injured.
Two Chinese were badly injured by a fall
ing fire wall on Jackson street. NJ. 'lia,n'
Brief accounts from Sacramento Stock

severity, some brick buildings suffering Sc

From Savannah and the CaroIinas

NEW YORK, Oct. D-The Herald's Savan-
nah correspondent says: The election in
Georgia was proceeding very quietly. No
military were. near the polling places and
everything inSconnection with Che election
was being managed by the civil officers
In the majority of the counties but one
ticket was being rup, and it is said that a
good class OF men have been selected for
candidates. In the Interior of the State
general harmony and quiet prevail, and the
people accept, with fair amount of grace,
the new order of things; though planters
coming into Savannah from some sections
,ni; make strong complaints ofthe negroes neg
lecting their work and lsay that, in cOrise-
quence, next years crops will be failure.
The Herald's Raleighicorrespondent says:
The people of North Carolina, and especial
ly those around Raleigh, are very decided
in their approval of the emphatic way in
which the State Convention disposed of the
secession, ordinance, by declaring it not on
ly to be null and void. but to have always,
since its passage, been so. The inhabitants
are also represented as being extremely
hostile to those men who assisted in plung-
ing the State into the rebellion. In the
convention on the 4th inst, resolutions were
introduced, but laid over for future action,
expressing the utmost confidence In Presi-
dent Johnson, and thanking him for the
course he has pursued toward the erringV
people of the South, to the gratitude of all
of whom it is believed he is entitled. The
resolutions also indorse Governor Holden,
and express the belief that no State will
ever again have a desire to abandon the
Union.
Adyices from Charleston state that May
or Macbeth and the Common Council and
other members of the old civil government
OF that city, have been restored to the ex-
ercise Of their functions, and the principal
municipal buildings have been given up to
them. In accordance with amilitary order
issued by Gen. Bennett, commander of The
sub-district of Charleston, on the I'd inst,
the mayor is to have jurisdiction of all
cases between whites, while the negroes are
to be turned over to the provost marshal,
but the military police will be retained.
The organization of the State militia is
rapidly progressing in some sections. They
are to be subject to the National officers and
to cooperate with them in the suppression
of the prevalent lawlessness. Gen. Bennett
has issued an order directing his subordin-
ates to assist in the formation of this State
force, every member or which, before join
ing, must take the National oath OF al
legiance. There is a great stir among the
South Carolina politicians in anticipation
of the forthcoming State and Congressional
elections, and candidates are issuing ad-
dresses to the people through the neWspa-
pers. A Governor and members of the
Legislature will be elected on the 18th inst.
