Hog Feeding Experiments Show Corn Fattening Gains
An Ohio Farmer writer describes trials comparing floored pens and dry lots for fattening hogs. Three hogs fed six barrels of corn gained 75 pounds in 40 days, with weather affecting results. One bushel corn yields 15 pounds pork, six barrels yield about $11.25 in pork, labor adds 12.5 cents per bushel. A Berkshire hog fed 37 days gained 97 pounds on one barrel. Overall, three and two thirds pounds of corn produce one pound of pork.

Too Much for Midget Pokes Fun at Drunken Husbands
A humorous tale set at Pimple's tavern features Timkins Tarbox and Midget, married men who drink together and dodge home duties. Each recounts how he faced a loud, corrective wife on returning home, with Timkins overturning a stove, Tarbox spilling cream, and Midget fearing his wife’s sharp rebuke before settling the tavern bill.
