The Hog Crop.

The increase in the number Of hogs
ia the West in 1871, as compared with
the same In 1870, is nearly millions,
or s71 per cent. This Is the principal
reason for the decline in pork. While
the wheat crops of England, France and
other countries of Europe, have fallen
far below the average in 1871, the hog
crop appears to have been more than
an average in every country where
hogs are raised.-Thus the enormous
supply with decreased demand in this
country, will cause pork to be sold very
cheap during this winter and through
the whole year Of 1872. While there
are reasons to anticipate rise in the
price of grain, we expect no Increase
in the price of pork.-Erchange

included in brackets, THAT the Office is

Owing to the fact that we were mis-
informed, an item in our former CORE
spondenoe concerning the Farmers
Grange, was incorrect. There are
women among its members; and we
must add, they surely are exceptions,

iect of the "secret." We questioned
one of them, partly from curiosity and
partly from desire for information,
but clicited-merely nothing.

A Criticism.
Mr.. Etltor:-Somebody calling
himself "Tom," seems to be seriously
affected by the recent action of our
Board of Supervisors in relation to our
county poor, or at least that class of
them that would not come under the
range of their ordinance. The law to
which he directs the attention of your
readers has certain points to which l
would call his attention; to wit: sin
their .judgnae',t;;" see Sec. l., and SIAM
lilies of Iowa soldiers, or other persons
IN families" see Sec. 2. There seems
to be points at least worthy the notice
of a lawyer. The phraseology of Sec.
l will be noticed by the close observer
SIN aid Of support" not in support Of;
and you will notice also, that our coun-
ty ordinance is directed toward those
"who are properly county charges"
That for such no, provision would be
made. Will Tom please notice that.
We do not profess to be lawyer,
but think that, "if ideas and words
were distinctly weighed and duly con.
sidered, they would often afford Us
another sort of logic"
Yours respectfully, No CHIP.
