The meeting at Augusta the other day,

take stock IN the road from Cottonwood Fail L..
The Walnut Valley takes no stock In Empo-

We find the above in the Walnut Valley
TiB,es and publish il TO call attention to
the falsehoods it contains. We hap
pened to be present at the meeting as
locker on. Toledo aud Bazaar were
not pledged for single cent of town
ship bonds. Sam Wood has been try
ing to pledge them and run them for all
sorts of moOnshine railroads. There
were Just three votes in favor of giving
$4,000 to Sam Wood, and the meeting
was packed for that purpose. The
voters were mostly newcomers, and did
not know Sam Wood, or they would
not have carried the proposition even
by three votes in the affirmative and
none in the negative. Perhaps the
Walnut Valley takes stock in Sam
Woods newspaper roads instead of

of miles of railroad on paper, but he
has never caused to be thrown a

building. The road that Cottonwood

IFrom the American Farm Journal.
How Much Pork In a BusheI of
Corn.

COIus
How much pork in bushel of corn
Believing that if the above question
was asked to the farming community
in general, that three fourths would
reply: "Well, I can't say; in fact.
have no idea; that is, / have never
given the subject particular attention"
Now, as the time of year is at hand
when the entire farming community is
feeding more or less corn to hogs,
and for the sake of getting at the facts,
propose to give my experience with
seven pigs in the fall of 1870, and hope
that others may be induced to give
the subject more careful attention, and
give the public the benefit through the
columns of the Farm Journal. The
subject certainly is one of great i'm
pOrtance to the entire farming COM
munity.
On the 10th of October, 1870, put
seven pigs, dropped about the 28th of
April, into the pen for fattening. They
would weigh an average of about 100
pounds live weight, that is, according
to my Judgment, and also some of my
neighbors and would dress say IS
pounds each, or 490 for the seven. /
fed them just an even hundred bush
els, in the ear, of corn, and then killed
them. Their weight, dressed, was l.
561, or an average of 223, making l.
OIL pounds of pork with one hundred
bushels of corn. The pigs were of
the Suffolk breed, and killed December
9th. The weather was uncommonly
! good for fattening hogs, it being warm
and fine nearly the entire time. They
were allowed what water they would
drink, but no house slops or other
food than corn.
B. P. Kirk fed 40 1-16 bushels, and
had a return of over u pounds of
pork per hushel. An experiment at
| North Chatham, Columbia county, n.
Y, gave a fraction less tfaH1 2 mounds
of pork from a bushel of corn. Mr..
Ellsworth, of Indiana, had II pounds
of pork from corn fed in the ear
Marcus L. Menvin, of Litchfield Co.,
fed 95 days and made % pounds of
pork from q bushel of corn. A. 8.
Proctor, of Illinois, fed 81 days and
gained 10 pounds of pork per BUSH
ell. Wiseman E. Nichols, Morrow
county, Ohio, fed 100 bushels of corn
in 63 days and made from it 1,130
pounds of pork, or II 10 pounds
per bushel. This corn, however, was
simply soaked two days in water. Mr..
Behmer, of Columbus, Ohio, made 10&
pounds from one bushel of corn. Mr..
Van Lorn, of Illinois, fed 20 days and
made a fraction over 8 pounds of pork
from bushel of corn.

= The following item appears in
tho Columbus Special to this morn
ing's Commercial:
A paragraph which appeared lately
in the Cincinnati Enquirer, as the or
gan Of the anti Republican caucus
movement. contained an undeserved
imputation against the integrity of
Mr., Little, Republican Representative
elect from Greene County. by announc-
ing him as a candidate for the anti
caucus Republicans fer Speaker. Mr.
Little, having been twice elected by
the Republicans of Greene County,
will not consent to the use ofhis name
in any such connection as that sug-
gested by the Enquirer, nor would he,
even though a candidate for Speaker,
accept an election to that position ex-
cept from the Republicans as an or
ganization.

President Grant.

One Of the best evidences of a
mans greatness is the swapping at
him by every cross road politician
and the hunting up of little things
against him. The charges brought
against the President consists mainly
Of
He don't stay in Washington all the
time;
He loves horses;
He don't make long speeches;
He permits young ladies to kiss him,
Democratic ones at that;
He smokes cigars;
And eschews whisky;
He travels through the country in
too little style;
He appointed relatives to office;
He pulls his boots on by the
straps;
He don't read the Cincinnati Com
mercial on Sunday;
He don't comprehend Horace Gree
ley's agricultural theories;
&c, DC, &C., &c.
Whole columns have been written
about just such silly stuffs as the
above, and set forth rs elaborate argu-
ments why he should not be nominat
ed for the Presidency again
Against the administration of Presi-
dent Grant in all its bearings, not 6
charge has been or can be made that Is
derOgatOry to 1t ja the least Even
his most bitter opponents must admit
that affairs pertaining to the Govern.
ment have been administered in tho
nsest satisfactory and statesman like
manner.
Another credit to the President il
that Dana, of the N. Y Sun, is biting
at his heels. No greater praise neeC
any man want. Dana is just in the po
sition fitted him-the lowest dog un
der the pile, scratching up the mean
est and most useless filth to be greedi
ly devoured by the Democratic press
throughout the country. Rjpley Bee

beware of the First GLASS.

The secret of being sober is to be-
ware of the first glass.
If you do not take the first glass
nobody can make you take the sec
ond.
1t is the first glass that conscience
grapples with; this taken, conscience
grows weaker with every succeeding
glass.
Before you take the first glass you
are sober, but not quite afterward; the
second and the third the farther re-
moves from perfect sobrety.
To the first glass may be traced the
greatest portion of poverty, crime, lu-
macy, Bankruptcy and premature
deaths.
