Coru-Curious Calculations.

\ New England johnny cake-
taking the old fashioned dimensions
is ten inches long, six inches wide
and one and halt inches in thick
ness. Surprising the entire crop OF
Illinois, for 1865, was ground into
meal and converted into Johnny
cake, allowing one quart of meal to
each cake, and the Johnny cakes
were laid up in the form of solid
wall, twenty feet Ugh and twenty
feet wide, so that three carriages
could go abreast thereon, this wall
would reach from Cairo to Dunleith.
1t would surround the city of Lon
don, covering one hundred and ten
square miles, with wall 60 feet
high and 60 feet wide Of solid bread.
This immense crop would put a
johnny cake into the hands of every
man, woman and child-savage and
civilized upon the face of the habi-
table globe. 1t would require crib
eight feet high by ten feet wide, ais
lowing two aud half feet to the
bushel, three thousand two hundred
and seventy-eight miles in length,
reaching from Passamaquoddy Bay
to San Francisco, and good share
of the distance back. If it were con-
verted into whisky, computing three
gallons to the bushel, it would form
an inland sea sufficient to-. float
the entire navies of the world. No
man need starve to death in Illinois.
If all the kernals of this extraordi-
nary crop were strung on wire, al
lowing two and a half grains to an
inch, lengthwise, there being sixty
seven thousand two hundred in q
bushel, this wire would reach to the
moon two hundred and fifty times,
forminga cable four inches IN diam
eter.
Now if this gigantic cable could be
twisted about the necks OF specuia-
tors. parasites, monopolists, middle
men and all others who swindle the
honest farmer and producer, and the
two ends fastened, one to the earth
and the other to her attending satel-
lite, and these planets commence re-
volying il different directions, the
future avails of corn crops would be
most likely to find its way into the
pockets ofthose who honestly earned
them.-Rockford Register.
