The two figures 35 and 36 show some farm cement construction 

 which I have recently completed. In my judgment this is the best

or $400) less than it cost me. I had to pay 20 cents per wagon

 gravel used — one hundred and sixty-five loads (165). At the time 

 I bought my cement it cost me two dollars and ten cents ($2.10)
