How Much PORK FROM \ BUsHEL of
Corn A correspondent from the
Prairie Farmer answers this question
as follows:
A series of carefully conducted eX-
primer IS have established the follow
ing rule on the subject; a busheI OF
good raw, ground, dry corn, fed to a
middling good breed, in comfortable
quarters without much sun and not al
lowed to root, and before cold wealth
er will produce II pounds of pork,
and if the breed is very good -. The
same amount of fermented corn meal,
one half more, and if cooked also,
about three fourths more than the first
named hence, it is easy to find how
much pork should bring so rs to cor
respond with the price of corn. Take,
for instance, raw corn, the most com
mon way it is fed; pork at five cents
per pound is equal to corn at fifty
cents per bushel, and so on, above OF
below, in the same ratio.-EXchange.
