If corn costs 10 cents per bushel, the
pork will cost $50 per pound to pro
duce, and so on. By reversing the ia
bic you have, of course, the value of
corn per bushel at different prices per
pound for pork-the corn to be used in
feeding for the production of pork, and
to find what the price of pork should be
per pound, taking the price of corn as
the basis tf calculation, you divide the
price of bushel by $40, the number
of pounds OF pork produced by BUSH
el of corn, AS we have seen, and the
quotient will be the answer. If, for eX-
ample, corn is 40 cents, divide by $40,
and you have S.33 cents. And SO to find
what the price of corn would be when
pork is selling certain price per
pound, you multiply the price OF a
pound of pork by $40, and the product
will be the answer. Suppose pork is
selling at 10 cents pound, what shO'd
be the price of corn used to feed out its
production? You multiply the 10 cts.
by $40, the average number pounds of
pork made by a bushel of corn, and
you haye 81 cents as the corresponding
price of corn.

Corn and POrk-PrOfits Of Pork
Raising.

The Massachusetts PlOugIaD'0n gives
the following intelligent statement OF
a vital question, and one that has ma
naturally received much discussion
by the agriculturaLpress: Probably ia
king all accurate trials together. the
general average would be about ten
and one-half pounds of pork to & bush
el corn of fifiy-six pounds, and from
this it it is fair to deduct about one-fitth,
to get at the net weight, leaving say,
20 or 7.4O lbs Of pork as the average
net result of the judicious feeding of a
bushel of corn, or one pound of pork to
six and twO-thirds pounds OF corn un-
cooked. The lowest amount OF cooked
corn meal is stated at three and four
fifths pounds to a pound of pork. Now,
taking all these experiments, and we
could easily show the relation which
the rrice 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 124c a bushel,pork would
cost II cents per pound, and in that
proportion throughout; or, giving it in
decimals, we have:

Don't publish your acts of charity;
The lord will keep the account all
straight.
Don't mourn over fancied grievan-
ces. Bide your time and real sorro"
will come.
