A sclenllGc Job.

Some time since stranger arrived in
Detroit in order to consult from one to
dozen surgeons about his tongue, that
useful member being hampered with a
cancer. The doctors took look at the
tongue. shook their heads and said =
aHum-hum." Gathered in solemn
council, they agreed that the tongue
Mnst come off, or at least about third
eff it. They assured the man that they
could make a very neat. and scientific
job OF It, and once his tongue got well
they could splice it, as sailors splice q.
rope. and give him as much talk as ev
er. Tie patient consented, and the new
tongue was in operation yesterday foI
the first time. The surgeons were juti-
lant, and they invited onr reporter 10

the LIST of September when the trial be-
gan, and he found that, allowing six cents
pound for the pork which they actual
ly laid on during the trial, they had
paid ninety-eight cents per bushel Tor the
corn, which gave him just about 1873
pounds of pork to the bushel. Another
farmer weighed thrifty pig, five months
old, $50 pounds, and then fed fifty-slx
pounds of corn-meal mixed with hot
water, thin enough for hasty pud-
ding. This bushel of meal was consumed
by the pig in six and half days, and the
gain was Just eighteen pounds. Another
farmer put up part Suffolk SOW to fatten.
Her weight was 235 pounds. From Oct.
cher weight being at that date 295
pounds) to Nov. II he fed her ten bush
els, or $50 pounds, of marketable corn,
and killed her at the latter date. Her live
weight just before she was killed was Alb
pounds, or an increase from the ten bush
els of corn of 11S pounds Of pork, being
slight fraction over four and half
pounds of corn to one pound Of pork, or
a fraction less than twelve pounds of pork
from bushel Of corn, an increase per
day of little less than two and three
quarter pounds. The price of corn at
that time, in his neighborhood, was sew
enty cents a bushel, so tn at the pork cost
him over seven cents pound and he just
barely got out of it whole, after allowing
for shrinking.
Probably, taking all the accurate trials
together, the general average would be
about ten and one-half pounds of pork to
bushel of corn of fifty-six pounds, and
from this it is fair to deduct about one
fifth, to get at the net weight, leaving, say,
% or $40 pounds of pork as the average
net result of the judicious feeding of a
bushel of corn, Or one pound of pork from
six and two-thirds pounds of corn I'M
cooked. The lowest amount of cooked
corn meal is stated at three and four-fifths
pounds to pound of pork, which is not
far from what we stated it last week.
Now taking all these experiments and
we could easily show the relation which
the price of corn bears to that of pork, by
showing the price of pork per pound, at
different prices per bushel for corn. If
corn were twelve and half cents bushel
pork would cost a cent and a half per
pound, and in that proportion throughout;
or giving it in decimals we have:

Pork and a BuSheI of Corn.

THERE are many sources of possible
error arising from the quality of the corn,
the fineness with which it is ground, the
method of feeding, either raw or cooked,
the difference in the fattening capacities of
pigs, owing to peculiarities of disposition,
etc. Still, the experience of others is
worth something, and may safely be taken
as some general guide.
One farmer, who made an effort to sat
isfv himself on the question as to the guam
tity of Indian meal it required to make a
pound of pork, weighed off two hogs a
year and half old, and three pigs six
months old, on the first day Of Septem-
Der, then measured off old corn accurately
and had it ground. Every night he wet in
boiling water meal enough for the next
days use to such consistency that it
would run readily. The hogs had no
slops from the house and nothing but
meal and water. On the 1st OF December
they were killed, and five cents pound
was deducted for what they weighed Oh

not produce as large crops Of winter wheat
as many of the slopes and undulating
portions of the country. However, good
farmers are learning that by blowing,
narrowing and manuring fair crop may
be obtained where the soil is naturally
quite inferior and not adapted to the pro-
duction of winter wheat.
In the latitude Of New York, whether
winter wheat is to be sowed on summer
fallow or to follow barley or oats, the
ground really should have been in the
course of preparation during the month of
August. As the nudge and Hessian fly are
no longer feared in many localities, farm
ers may now return to the production ofwin-
ter wheat with the expectation of raising
remunerative crops if they prepare the
soil properly. Our experience with this
crop warrants us in stating that the most
effectual prevention of the ravages of the
nudge is thorough preparation of the
soil and liberal application Of good, we'll
rOtted manure, and this has been corrob-
GRATED by some of the best wheat growers
of Western New York. The reasoning on
this subject is that thorough preparation
of the soil produces more luXuriant and
healthy growth, which will Withstand the
injurious attack of both these insects,
and every good farmer will admit the cor
rectness of the log1c-N. Y Herald.

Exhaustion of Manure.

How LONG manure lasts in the soil, is a
question which it is impossible to answer
positively, as circumstances Of climate
and the methods of cultivation adopted
must ever prevent any fixed rule to guide
us in this direction, but in England, where
large portion Of the land is worked by
tenant farmers, much thoughthas naturally
been given to the subject, and the following
conclusions have been accepted by COM
mon consent: Lime is held to benefit the
soil for a period of ten years, but not
equally during the whole time, as ten
times as much is exhausted the first as in
the last year. Common stable manure,
guanO, bones, and some other substances
are exhausted in four or five years, and the
more highly heterogeneous the fertilizer the
sooner it is exhausted Manure isused up
by the growing crops much faster in a wet
than in a dry season, and also in a hot
than in a cold one, as decomposition pro-
ceeds much more rapidly in warm than in
cold weather. Farmers who are IN the
habit Of applying manure as top-dress
ing to grass lands will have noticed that
in wet weather the manure acts immedi-
ately, while if long continued drought
prevails at the time of applying the
manure the next years crop will receive
more benefit from the top-dressing than
the present One.-NeU England Farmer
