DISPOSING OF THE SURPLUS. 



Being located in a good town only a 

 four hours' run from two large wholesale 

 markets, if the grower failed to sell all 

 his stock locally could he always dispose 

 of it profitably in the city markets! 



G. M. F. 



In the matter of marketing surplus 

 stock in the large cities, you should re- 

 member that the time a grower for a 

 local market has a surplus is the time 

 when the wholesale growers for the big 

 markets are in heaviest crop. It nat- 

 urally follows that the time you have 

 stock for the wholesale markets, you will 

 find those markets most heavily sup- 

 plied. Then, too, the wholesaler natural- 

 ly feels that in times of glut his regular 

 shippers, who supply him with the means 

 of doing business in times of scarcity, 

 should have the preference, and the oc- 

 casional shipper therefore is not infre- 

 quently given the last chance at what- 

 ever demand there may be in times of 

 oversupply. 



DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICS. 



Please let me know how the follow- 

 ing two problems are worked: 



1. Two sides of a cabbage field are 

 75 rods and 60 rods long, respectively. 

 They are parallel to each other, and are 

 perpendicular to one end, which is 40 

 rods long? What is the area of the field 

 in acres? 



2. A ditch has been dug that is 6 feet 

 wide at the bottom, 8 feet deep, and lias 

 side slopes of 1 : 1, "What will the excava- 

 tion cost per rod when the price is 8 

 cents a cubic yard? J. K. 



1. The area of the field is 16% acres. 

 The rule is: Multiply the length by the 

 width (in rods) and divide the product 

 by 160. When the opposite sides are 

 unequal, add them, and take half the 

 sum for the mean length or width. 



2. The cost will be $5.47% per rod. 

 The method is as follows: As the slope 

 of the sides is one foot to one foot, the 

 top of the ditch will be wider than the 

 botto^i, two feet for each foot of depth. 

 As the depth is 8 feet and the width at 

 bottom 6 feet, the width at the top is 22 

 feet. The problem then becomes the 

 computation of the areas of a parallelo- 

 gram 6x8 feet and two right-angled tri- 

 angles 8 feet on each side. As the two 

 triangles are of the same size, we can 

 reduce the computation to a space 8xl4x 

 16% feet and find that each rod of the 

 ditch contains 1,848 cubic feet of soil, 

 or 68.44 cubic yards. At 8 cents per 

 yard, the cost is as stated above.
