The explanation is q very easy one
There are the United States thirty millions Of hogs
This is about fifteen times the amount that is usually

II follows then from these facts that there must be- at
least times hogs In the country that might
be fatted for m arket, there really are.
The deduction from this Is one of great Importance
to the pork merchant It is this that the farmer has
1t always in his power to increase greatly the number Of
fatted hogs The effect of this increase Is to diminish
the price in the hands OF the pork merchant. The
question with him then IL, when will the farmer thus

gree of profit the cost Of fang The cost of fatting

the ruling prise OF picked pork In the summer with the
prices OF the previous II these arc high and
the amount OF Indian large, the number OF hogs

question, then, is only whether corn IL abundsbt!
