Further progress has been made in the
resumption Of work by the great cotton
mills of New En- ID. The Atlantic cot
ton mills, at Lay nee, Mass, which have
been running only part of their machinery
four days each week, are to start every loom
ON full time. The Appleton Company, Of
Lowell, Mass, have commenced to run their
mills full time, with full pay, until the
close Of the payroll for December. No an-
nouncement is made of their action beyond
that time. No doubt that after the list of
january every spindle in the United States
will be running full time, unless there
should arise more complications respecting
wages or hours of labor.
We find the estimate put forth blythe Ag-
ricultural Bureau, that the present crop is
100000 bales, is generally repudiated.
The large receipts at the ports since that es-
Innate was made up may have contributed
to the change in views on this point. But
certain it is that estimates are little if any
under four million bales, and some esti-
mates as high as acknowledgements mil
lions.
1t is probable that domestic spinners V Ill,
on the LIST Of January, have in stock y .ch
less than their usual supply of cotton. lie
state Of credits, slow collections, and the
uncertainty which has hung over foreign
affairs, will have prevented their purchasing
beyond their immediate wants, or making
contracts for the future. 1t is reasonably
certain, therefore, that the demand from
them for the first half of 1874 will be even
greater than the mere fact of their resum-
ing work would seem to imply.

The Outlook for Corn.

A writer in the Chicago Tribune is of
opinion that the corn crop this year will not
exceed that of 1871, and that prices must
rise. The farmers, it would appear, are
disappointed at the way the corn spans
OUT The number, of hogs in Illinois isya-
riously estimated at from p to 81 millions,
and these, with cattle, horses, etc, will
consume an enormous quantity of corn.
The supplies at shipping points are estima-
ted at 100000 bushels less than in 1872.
The crop in November, 1869, was calcu-
lated at S94000,000 bushels. The calcu-
lation this year was S5S,0G0,000, showing a
reduction of 80 millions of bushels, with
much larger market. In 1862, when they
were at the lowest, corn was exceedingly
cheap, and not more than % cents was re-
allied by the farmer. The price is now
47c at Chicago and 74c. here, but the
market is not inundated, as was prophesied.
The demand promises to be large for
Europe, while the uncertainty as to the
ability of the railroads to bring in all the
freight pressing upon them may reasonably
be expected to stifen prices. According to
the figures published by the Bureau of Sta
tistics, New York prices for the month of
December, during the ten years past, were
rs follows.

FARM AND GARDEN.
PORK PACKING.

We see it stated that this business
has opened with unusual activity, and
1T IS expected that Chicago will this
season nearly if not quite equal st.
Louis and Cincinnati together, in the
number Of hogs prepared for market.
During the last three months twice as
many hogs have been received there as
during the same period in 1871, and
One-third more than in 1872. During
the week ending Nov Is, there was an
increase of 40 per cent. as compared
with the same week last year; during
that ending Nov. -, the increase was
over 100 per cent. Tennessee farmers
ought to receive a remunerating price
for their fat hogs, considering the
scarcity of meat in Great Britain, and
on the continent beyond. Procure
good rock-salt and make bacon, fprices
are not satisfactory. The prices of corn
in Nashville and of pork in London,
permit fair profit in Transforming
corn into pork for that market.

An IMPORTANT DECISION.
The Conclusion Reached in the Half
Million Dollar Case.

From the Knoxville Press and Herald, Dec. 10.
Yesterday, the Supreme Court deliv-
cred its opinion in the great case Of
the Bank Of East Tennessee, = for the
use of Ramsey, Trustee, VS.. Jos. A.
Mabry, Administrator of Geo. W.
Churchwell, deceased, an account of
which has already been furnished the
read rs of the Press and Herald. The
amount claimed by the Bank of East
Tennessee, in this case was more than,
$500 900, principal and interest. The
property left by Col. Churchwell in
Knox county is now valued at $780,
600. Besides this, he left "A vast estate
in other States. His property in Hi
nois alone is sufficient, if recovered, to
enrich his descendent. 1t is said that
on some of his lands in Illinois have
grown thriving towns and villages. The
instructions are that proceedings be
instituted for all his property, on the
ground that it was fraudulently obtain
ed from Col Churchwell while laboring
under his great affection.
1t Will be remembered that the prin-
cipal issue in the cause, and the chief
reliance of the defence, was the insani-
ty Of Churchwell. At a recent term Of
the Circuit Court, the cause was sec
ond time submitted to jury, who re-
turned a verdict in favor of the de-
PENDANT. The plaintiff moved the Court
for a new trial, which was refused,
whereupon an appeal was taken to the
Supreme Court, now sitting in this
place.
The case was deliberately argued by
Messrs. Crozier and Camp for the
Bank, and by Attorney General Heis-
kell, w. p. Washburn and George
Washington, Esq, for Gen. Mabry.
On yesterday, as before stated, the
court, through Judge Mcfarland, de-
livered an able opinion, affirming the
Judgment of the court below. 1t would
thus seem that the Jury were satisfied,
from the evidence before them, that the
late G. w. Churchwell was of unsound
mind.
This opinion, which finally deter
mines the cause, viii probably have the
effect to revive in the minds of many
of our old citizens, the remarkable &C.
centricities which distinguished Col.
Chuchwen in his lifetime. By it, his
estate is relieved of the enormous de-
mand which has for so many years,
been hanging over it. It's chief signi-
fcance, however, as we are Informed,
arises from the fact that there is anoth-
er large suit now pending in the Chan
Gerry Court of Knox county, in which
the main question is the mental condi-
ton of Col. Chuchwell, and in which
it is sought by his administrator to re-
cover large amount Of real estate, val
ued at 100000, lying in and about
Knoxville, and which was sold under
a decree Of the Chancery Court more
than ten years since. Should this suit
succeed, the bulk Of this fine estate
will pass to the heirs at law of Col
Churchwell, only two Of whom survive,
the estimable wives Of Gen. Mabry and
ColkC. w. Charlton. But for the opin-
ion Of the Supreme Court in the Bank
case, this property wouldprobably have
been sold by the Sheriff to satisfy the
Judgment therein. The end of all this
litigation viii be looked for with great
interest.

CURING AND PRESERVING MEATS.

Mr. r. Guild read paper before the
Princeton, N. j. Farmers Club Of
which the following is an abstract. He
begins by explaining and enforcing the
superiority of well-maturcd meat over
that Of younger animals, and the ne
ccssity Of cooling off the animal heat
promptly and completely, before any
further steps are taken. He then ex-
plains the use of salt IN the preserva-
ton Of the meat, drawing an analogy
between its action and that OF heat in
the process of cooking, and showing
that as little salt Should be used as is
consistent with the preservation Of the
meat, and that in the curing of dried
meats brine should be altogether ex-
cluded. He then continues as follows
What are known in commerce as ''su-
gar cured hams" are packed in bulk
with ground salt at such times, or from
time to time, as convenience may die
tate; the time they remain IN bulk is
also governed by convenience. They
are at length packedin hogsheads, filled
with what is called sweet pickle-com-
posed of salt, saltpctrc and molasses.
Many of them are shipped from the
West in this condition, smoked here
and sold for Jersey hams. The conse-
duence is, there is little uniformity in
in their quality. Some Of them are
very good others over-salted, hard and
taEtelcSS.
The celebrated Burlington hams of
the olden time (Newbold, l think was
the name,) were cured in this wise:
To twelve hams, s lbs. sugar; Il lbs.
saltpeter, lbs. fine salt; rub the hams
with this mixture, and let them be one
week in a cask with the skins down.
ward; thenmake a pickle Of the strong
est coarse salt, of sufficient strength to
bear an egg; add two or three quarts of
hickory ley, refined by boiling; when
cold, cover them.
The receipt of Abraham Hunt, Of
Trenton, was-For three dozen hams,
3 lbs. saltpeter, J bush. fine salt, and
Il gals. molasses; mix them well to-
rcther. and rub the hams well; let them
lie twelve or fourteen days; then make
a pickle that Will bear an egg, and cove
the hams with it. After lying three or
four weeks in pickle, rub them with
bran and hang them up to smoke.
The recipe l have adopted for my
own use, is as follows: For Il hams, l
fb, saltpeter, u ID. fine salt, gallon
molasses. These ingredients, when
well mixed, will have about the consis-
tency and appearance OF damp brown
sugar. Rub them thoroughly with this
mixture, lay them singly on dry plat
form. At the end Of one week rub
them again; at the end of the second
week again rub them and hang them up
to smoke: let them dry thoroughly, but
do not smoke them more than ten days.
1t will be perceived that all the fore
going recipes embody the same primer
