THE HOG CROP.
Tho Quincy Qn) |Vhig says:
The reports from all over the country 20 to show

one million-te number packed in the United States
IN l81l being estimated at six millions-whie the
IN Adams County Of % and in lie State Of eight
hundred thousand. The for corn-g growing IT, OF
course extending rapidly westward, but at the same
years previous, consequently the actual num-
ber Of hogs will not only be Increased, but
is abundant in this Slate and Iowa that hogs
SIX months old last spring will be fattenol to

AS it is better to understand and accept the situ
ton at once may here state that this enormous
increase in tho hog product is bound to make tho price
Of hogs considerably less than last
US during the FTanco-Prussian war.
Iaat gear the price averaged cents and those who
held their product for sale orders throughout the
year money making business, we do not believe
the price should range CENTS at the highest

Hvered this month, though the St. Louis papers think
81 will be tine ruling rites. Our packers ready to
cut any amount at the figures have mentioned, or
