LETTER TO A. R. B<\NKS. Den" Sir: We should like to net your boys and girls at work on this question in arithmetic and casuistry. A farmer is fatt< ning ttiree hogs in three small pens; they have equal room and straw and care, and are fed in these three ways: tlrst hog. on a certain proportion of milk ami < ooked cornmea ; sjecond h >g. on #ilre same half wa'er; third ling, on the same, half water and sawdust. Mow long will it take, how much will they weigh, how much .vnl they cost, ami what'll the protlt be on the three? And a similar question in pigmentry. That same farmtr is going to pair t three barns same size; and ire says to tir.ee painters: "whatM you take to paint that barn?" First painter scratches Iris head a few mrouies and says. I'll do it for $60." ^ Second painter: "$75." Third painter: $V?7 48" Will they each get .? barn to paint, or one get two, or one all three, r nobody any; and what'il fhey make on t ire job? That's ab rrt how painting goes sometimes. lint there is ?. way to reckon : $5 a gallon. The difficulty is in knowing how many gallons to buy. There's a way out of that.. liuy tire leas'-gallons paint, |)evoe. No matter how much one buys; lie returns w lut 's left : costs mulling. Yours truls L' V* I v - - A. / '? r *? i/rvur iv v/u, I\ H.
