 Farmers, Mechanics and Business Men. It is so rapid and origi- 

 nal as to startle the most scholarly, and yet so simple a.iii prac-

 Stock, Hay, Coal, Lumber, Merchandise, etc., from one pound up

 reacli ; the interest on any sum for any time at 6, 7, 8 and 10 per 

 cent. ; correal measurement of all kinds of Lumber, Saw Logs, 

 Cisterns, Tanks, Granaries, Bins, Wagon Beds, Corn Cribs; a 

 Time, Wages, and many other valuable tables. 



The Second part is a practical Arithmetic, and embodies a 

 simple mathematical principle which enables any one familiar 

 with the fundamental rules to become a lightning calculator; and 

 by which over two-thirds of the figures and labor required by the 

 ordinary methods, and fractions with their intricacies, are en- 

 tirely avoided. 



The work is nicely printed on fine tinted paper, is well and 

 elegantly bound in pocket-book shape and is accompanied by a

 ever published.
