ARITHMETIC MADE EASY.

A new publication that must prove of incalculable benefit to 

 Farmers, Mechanics and Business men. It is so ra/z^^and origi- 

 nal as to startle the most scholarly, and yet so simple ^'aA practical 

 that the most illiterate in figures can instantaneously become his 

 own accountant. It enables thousands to accomplish, in a minute 

 what they could not learn to calculate in many months.

 ing at a glance the exact values of all kinds of Grain, Stock, Hay, 

 Coal, Lumber, Merchandise, etc , from one pound w-p to a car load, 

 and for any price which the market is likely to reach ; the interest 

 on any sum for any time at 6, 7, 8 and 10 per cent.; correct measure- 

 ment 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 s. 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, snA fractions with their intricacies, are entirely avoided. 



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

 elegaf tly bound in pocket-book shape and is accompanied by a 

 Silicate Slate, Memorandum and Pocket for paper. It is by far the 

 most complete, comprehensive and convenient pocket manual ever 

 published.
