Dear Bir: sel
your boys and al on this
question
A farmer is fattening three hogs in
they have equal
room snd straw and care, sand are fed
in these three ways : first bog, on a
certain proportion of milk and cooked
second hog, on the
balf water ; third hog, the
half water and half sawdust, How
long will it take, how much will it
take, how much will they weigh. how
much will it and what'll the
profit be on the three ?
And a similar in pig
mentry. That same farmer is going
to paint three barns, same sigs :
he says to three painters :
you take to paint that barn ¢
First painter scratches his head a
few minutes and says: “ I'll do it for
$50."
Second painter ; ‘ §75."
Third painter: $07.48"
Will they each get a barn to paint,
or one get two, or one all three, or no-
body any ; and what'll they make on
the job?
That's about how painting gots
sometimes.
But there isa way to reckon : $ a
gallon. The difficulty is in knowing
how many gallons to buy. There's a
way out of that.
Buy the least-gallons paint, Devoe.
No'matter Low much one buys, he
returns what's left. Costs nothing,
