New York, Dec. B.— A special from
Chicago to the Times says a decided
sensation was created there late yes
terday afternoon by the discovery of
the bodies of a beautiful woman and
a female iafant packed in a barrel, at
the Adams Express Company’s office.
The woman’s body was destitute of
all clothing except stockings. The
bodies were taken to the Morgue.
The barrel was directed to S. K.
Green & Cos., lowa City, lowa. The
truckman who took the barrel to the
express office says he received it at a
house near corner 2*th street and
Wabash Avenue, in one of the most
aristocratical portions of Chicago.
From all appearances the woman had
recently given birth to a child. There
were a few marks on the body, but
nothing to show how her death had
ensued.

CONSOLIDATED REPORT OF CROPS, &0.--
RETURNED TO THE STATE DEPART
MENT OF AGRICULTURE, AT AT
LANTA, OEOROIA, NOVEM
BER 15, 1875
State of Georgia, Depabtment )
of Aohictlture. \
Atlanta, Nov. 22. J
In the following report only the
general State averages are given, the
questions being so varied os not to
admit readily ot county consolida
tions. The yield of sugar, compared
to that of last year, is reported ut 51.
This very small average is due to two
causes; the loss of seed tune by an
early freeze last fall, and the drouth
Id the cane growing portions of the
State last summer. The yield of oane
syrup compared to that of last year
is 67. The average yield of syrup per
acre is 192 gallons, which sells at the
average price of sixty-eight cents per
gallon, giving a gross income per
acre of $l3O 66. The average eost of
production of a gallon of this syrup is
twenty-eight oents, or $53 7*l per acre,
which, deducted from the gross In
come, $l3O 56, gives a net profit of
$76 80 per acre. Twelve gallons of
syrup are made from 100 gallons of
cane juice. The sugar made in Geor
gia sells at the average price of nine
cents per pound, and the molasses at
forty-seven cents per gallon. The
question as to the yield of sugar from
100 gallons of juice seems to have
been' misunderstood by many corres
pondence-some reporting from 100
gallons of juice and others from 100
gallons of syrup, so that a reliable
average could not be obtained. Suf
ficient data, however, are given to
show that it is more profitable to sell
the syrup than to convert, it into su
gar on a small scale.
A large majority of the correspon
dents report thorough boiling all that
is necessary to prevent fermentation.
Some use small quantities of soda or
ilme-one-fourth of u jiound of soda
or one gullou of lime water to UK) gal
lons of juice.—Cook's evaporator is
the favorite with those who use other
than the common cast iron boiler—
the majority still use the latter. The
yield of sorghum, compared to that
of last year, is 423. This is a
very large increase, due to an in
creased acreage planted last spring,
and to the unusually favorable sea
sons in Upper Georgia, where this is
becoming an important crop. The
average yield of syrup per acre is 73
gallons, which sells at an average of
sixty-six cents per gallon. This gives
a gross income of $48.18 per acre, or,
assuming the costof production to be
the t same us that of cane syrup,
twenty-eight cents—a net profit of
thirty-eight oents a gullou, or $27.74
profit per acre. Fifteen gallons of
sorghum syrup are obtained from 100
gallons of juice. This is three gal
lons more than the average yield
from cane juice, and probably due to
the difference in thoroughness of
boiling, as shown by the fact that
the cane syrup is less liable to fer
ment in warm weather than the sor
ghum.
Eighty-eight per cent, of the cotton
was gathered on the 15th of Novem
ber. Borne report all gathered. The
frost, succeeded by wet weather, has
rendered the pickings front late cot
ton of unusually inferiorquality. The
yield, com i>ured to that of hist year,
is reported at 73J —hut a slight change
from the October report. If this es
timate is correct , t he crop of the pres
ent year will be a little more than
400,000 bales, which, at eleven cents a
pound, the average cost of produc
tion, will cost the producers *20,000,-
000 more than it will bring on the
home market,. In consequence of the
unfavorable seasons, the yield of lint
from seed cotton Is seven per cent,
less than that of last year. The aver
age yield per acre in seed cotton is
412 pounds; the cost, sixteen dollars
per acre. From the October report
w learn that, the average cost of pro
duction of a pound of lint cotton is
eleven cents; the cost, therefore, of a
pound of seed cotton will be three
and three-fourths. The average pro
duct per acre—*l2 pounds—will there
fore cost $15.45. Assuming that the
seed will pay for the ginning and
packing, and allowiug Jo. per pound
of seed cotton to defray the expense
of marketing, 412 pounds will cost
$1.03 after it leaves the farm. This,
added to $15.45, gives the total cost of
$16.48 per acre—forty-eight cents more
than the average retorted by the cor
respondents by the addition of the
cost of marketing.
The average yield of corn per acre
is reporledat nine bushels, some of
the northern counties reporting as
high as thirty, whit# some, in those
sections which suffered from drouth,
report as low as five bushels per acre.
The average yield of blade fodder
per acre is 185 pounds, and the aver
age yield of peas planted in the corn
is four bushels. All of these, corn fod
der, and peas, referto the crop of this
year. Peas, when planted alone,
give an average yield of ten bushels
per acre. The cash price of corn
throughout the State is $1.08; of peas,
$1.10; of fodder, i>er 100 pound, $1.19.
The average cost of an acre in corn
and peas is reported at SB. The ac
count, therefore, with an average
acre of corn and peas, will stand
thus:
By 9 bushels corn at SI.OB per bush
el $ 9 73
By 4 bushels peas at sl.lO per bush
el 4 40
By 185 pounds folder at *1.19 per
100 pounds 2 20
*l6 32
To total cost per acre * 8 00
By balance $ 8 32
The only item of expense omitted
in the above cost per acre is interest
on the land.
According to the United States cen
sus of 1870, the average cash value
per acre of Georgia farms is $4.67.
Interest on this at 7 per cent, increas
es the cost to $3.32, leaving a bal
ance of $8 profit per acre, or iust 100
per cent, on the cost, a very different
result from that shown in the produc
tion of cotton. The average yield of
ground lieas to the acre is reported at
28 bushels, that of chufas at 20. The
majority prefer the ground pea as a
hog crop, and represent the cost of
cultivation ot the two crops to be the
same. The yield of sweet potatoes
compared to that of last year is only
G 7, and the average yield this year is
only 60 bushels per acre, the drouths
in the Spring and Bummer having in
terfered with securing a stand, and
tnat in September, which was gener
al, seriously curtailing the produc
tion.,
The question in reference to the
best method of preserving the sweet
potato elicited general and very in
teresting response, showing marked
uniformity of practice and experience.
Digging in dry weather is universally
recommended, and the practice of
giving free ventilation until cold

weaiher approaches, very general.
Various means are used to ac
complish this end. Some, after cov
ering with straw and bark or corn
stalks, cover lightly with dirt, leav
ing the top open with a board laid
loosely on to exclude water. As the
cold increases the thiokness of dirt is
increased until it reaches from eight
to twelve inches, if banked out of
doors. Many bank in log pens built
for the purpose. In such oases but.
little dirt is used. Some employ as
ventilators u plank box extending
from the base of the bank to the top.
the sides of the box being perforated
with auger holes to facilitate the ven
tilation. The great end to be accom
plished is the preservation of a uni
form temperature.
No more crop reports will be issued
until April of next year, when they
will again be resumed during the crop
season. In order to organize a more
thorough system of crop and weather
reports connected with experimental
investigations, a convention of the
correspondents and experimenters of
the department will be called to meet,
in Atlanta the 25th of January next,
to continue in session three days. Be
fore this convention, various subjects
of vital interest to Georgia agricul
turists will be discussed, such as the
relation of meteorology, entomology
and other branches of soienoe, to ag
riculture, farm economy, crop statis
tics, actual and current, and others,
which the occasion may suggest. Ar
rangements have been effected with
the railroads of the State by which
delegates to the Convention can come
and return for one fare. A full at
tendance is desirable, in order that
by a full aud free conference each co
worker of the department may thor
oughly understand and appreciate his
relations to the people of the Slate as
a source of valuable information.
Much of the most efficient work of
the Department has been based upon
information collected from the intel
ligent farmers who are its correspon
dents and co-workers. It is, there
fore, hoped thut, with this timely no
tioe every correspondent and experi
menter will attend the contemplated
convention. Thomas P. Janes,

Alabama Insane Hospital.— The
Fifteenth Annual Report of the Ala
bama Insane Hospital, has been
printed at the Meteor office, in the
Hospital. The Tuskuloosa Gazette
says:
It. is an interesting pamphlet to
study showing, in a tabular form,
the numter of patients that have
been admitted to tiie institution
since 1861, the number discharged,
died,etc., also the occupation, eduea
cation, cause of insanity, etc. The
number of patients and sex admitted
to the hospital aud discharged there
from since 1861 is as follows:
Men Women Total
Admitted -633 486 1,119
Disc’d recovered .. 193 153 346
Disc’d improved 48 39 87
Disc’d üßeh’ged 35 11 46
Died 180 108 279
Remaning 180 172 352
The statement shows that more
persons with a limited education were
in the hospital than in any other
stage of learning; more persons be
tween the ages of 30 and 40 years
were insane than any other ages.
More single men, and more married
women. In form of insanity, more
are placed under the head of acute
mania than any other—next mono
mania. Of occupations, more were
farmers. Causes, most hereditary;
fewest, old age. The report of the
steward shows the expenditures for
the year ending September 30, inclu
ding improvements, salaries, wages,
etc., to be $62,773.42. Of this sum
$11,125 was received from paying pa
tients.
The Institution, under the manage
ment of Dr. Bryee, is carried on as
economically as it can possibly be to
serve the noble purpose it is intended
for. Much has been saved the Btate
(and at the same time benefitted the
health of the jiatientj by the farm

The Nunnyxlde WNaster.
New York, Dec. 2.—The mate had
not got over fifteen or twenty feet,
from the steamer with a life boat full
of people before It was capslzod. -a
terrible scene ensued. There must
have been eighteen persons in the
boat. The mate swam ashore, but
others who were saved swam back to
the steamer. In all probability all
that were lost were drowned from cap
sizing of the life boat. Their shouts
and cries for aid must, have been
heard a long distance. As quickly
as possible, says the mate, I took the
boat from the starboard, and with our
head waiter and deck boy tried to
get around the people in the water,
but heavy ice prevented it. Cries
for helpcontlnued üboutten minutes,
then all was still. We launched tne
big boat from the upper deck, which
was even with the water, the vessel
at that time being 200 feet from the
shore. T took the boat with the
second engineer, and finally reached
the capsized boat. She was bottom
upwards, and a man lay on his back,
with his feet in the water aud ice.
nearly dead. We took him on board
the steamer, put him in the pilot’s
room andoovered him with blankets.
Then I heard more on the outside of
the wheelhouse, which was only two
feet out of the water, I worked the
icetoithe spot where cries came from.
I found an elderly lady groaning; she
was lying on the ice about five feet
from the wheelhouse; her body was
hardly in the water; while her arms
were holding her; up she was still
alive. With great, difficulty wc got
her in the boat, took her to the
steamer, put her in the wheel-mates’
room, and covered her with blankets,
but she died two hours after. Wo
then went to work toconstruet a rope
ferry from the steamer to the shore.
At this time at least sixty persons
were crowded together on tho hurri
cane deck, aft. The wind was blow
ing hard and the air was bitterly
cold. Wo got, the line ashore and
succeeded in getting all off in safety,
after they had been on deck for two
hours. Tiie mate hauled them In
a boat and pulled the boat along by
a rope. On reaching the shore, they
clamhered up the rocks, and made
way to farm houses in the vicinity,
where every attention was given
them.
