Cost Of Pork.-An experimenter says
that one bushel of prime corn will make
over ten and a half pounds of pork,
live weight, and from this deduction,
with corn at Is cents per bushel, pork
will cost the producer 21s cents per
pound. When corn is worth "a cents
per bushel, pork will cost the producer
4 cents per pound; 50-cent corn, pork
5 cents per pound. He further says
that a pig at its birth should weigh
about three pounds and increase in
weight month after month as follows:
Is, 80, 4S, So, 103. 135, 40. 21O, 225.
and on the tenth month should weigh
300 pounds. Also that the cost of a
pound of pork is so per cent greater IL
made in ths tenth month than in tho
fifth month, in food consumed.-Ex.

Total expenses ......


Instead of having profit of 5000, we
find that he has suffered loss of 800
on his years work.
Now, suppose further. what is true in
multitudes of cases. that the farmer is
81, 900 In debt on his farm. Falling
behind at the rate Of $50 year. how
long viii it take him to pay the debt?
The above figures are given not as
representing strictly the exact ratio at
which different prices have fallen. but
for the purpose Of emphasizing the
fact that should be obvious to producers
generally, that when the prices of their
products fall. they do not realize full
compensation in the decline Of other
things.
Hence the conclusion. that general
fall In prices Injuries the producers more
than it Injuries any other class. The
very men who should be injured least
are injured most. When policy is pur-
sued the tendency of which is to harm
The producer. it strikes at the very
foundations of national prosperity.
This was the inevitable effect of de-
monetizing silver, and the bulk Of the
complaints to which We have listened
during the last twenty-five years has
como from that class. ~
In the case given as an illustration. 1t
Itands to reason that II the farmer can
not reduce expenses in any other way,
be win economic In consumption. He
win use less of sugar and any other
things that are not absolutely indis-
pensabIe. Ifhs cannot induce tho hired
