Problem Solved.

MIR EDITOR An item in the last
weeks ENqrIEEE says the following prob
lem is pulling the mathematicians of
Marlboro, viz "A man sells horse for
800, and then buys him for $50. He sells
the animal second time for 800. How
much did he make by the deal =
There is nothing p"-:1ihg about ii. He
made Just what any one else would make
by buying a horse for $50 and selling him
for 800. His having previously owned
the horse. and sold him for 500 has no
bearing on the case whatever as his pro-
fits depended entirely uron what he paid
for the horse when he bought him back,
which was $50; and the amount he sold
the animal for the second time, which was
800 Therefore SEQ was the sum made
BY the transactions. Many insist upon it
that $50 was the amount made, though
they fail to account for it, as at the close
of the first sale the owner had 500 in hand,
and at the close of the second sale he had
s11O-or gain of 500 as above stated.
c. G. \.
SPRINGFIELD, Md, March 22d.
The solution to the problem which is
puzzlins the mathematicians of your
town
"A man las horse which he sells for
500, lie then buys him back for $50.
4 gain he sells the animal for 800. What
docs he make by the transactions:
At the first sale the owner received for
his horse 800. This sum then to use a
metaphor is the point of radiation, from
which ali gains must be calculated Hence
when he bought back the horse for $50, it
being $40 ,css than 800 he made so by
the transaction, and when he sold him for
800 more than the orig nal sale Of 500,
he made the second $40 by the transac-
ton, which is SEQ. the sum total of his
speculative profits.
To prove this, after he had bought back
the horse for $50, he had $40 plus the
horse: and after he had sold the horse
for 800, he had $40 plus 800, or $40,
being all the money he received for the
horse, both at the first sale, and as spec
ulative gains. You subtract 800 the sum
which he received at the first sale from
$40 all the money he received for the
horse and the remainder, $50 will be
the amount of speculative profits. p.

Peach Prospects.

Prof James 5. Robinson and Prof. c.
o. Townshend have just returned from a
visit to the farm of Charles II. Pearson, at
Susquehanna, ST Mary's county. They
report that in one peach orchard Of 5000
trees of Shocks on Mr.. Pcarson's place
the buds are practically uninjured lr the
cold, and the indications are for a large
crop. This orchard lies on the bay, where
it receives the breezes from the salt water.
Another orchard of 5000 trees Of Craw
ford on the same farm, but lying farther
back from the water, gives indications for
about one tenth of a crop. Still another
orchard of 5000 trees Of Chairs choice,
about the same distance from the water,
contains practically no fruit buds. The
failure of these last two orchards to pro-
duce full crop of buds is apparently not
due to the recent cold weather. Other
fruit buds examined in this section, viz:
cherry and plum are likewise not injured
by the cold.
