ARITHMETIC MADE EASY. 



ROPP'S EASY CALCULATOR. 



A new publication that must prove of incalculable benefit to 

 Farmers, Mechanics and Business men. It is so ra//rfand angi- 

 nal as to startle the most scholarly, and yet so simple s^nA 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. 



The first part containing an entirely new system of Tables, show- 

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

 Coal, L«mber, Merchandise, etc., from one pound \i-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 percent.; correct measure- 

 ment of all kinds of Lumber, Saw Logs, Cisterns, Tanks, Granaries, 

 Bins, Wagon Beds, Com Cribs ; a Time, Wages, and many other 

 valuable tables. 



The second part is a/rac/iVa/ 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 entirely avoided. 



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

 elegantly 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.

 is fully up with the times on every conceivable subject that in- 

 terests the apiarist. It is not only instructive, but intensely in- 

 teresting and thoroughly practical. Within 20 day after this 

 work was issued from the press, 600 copies were disposed of— sa 

 sale unprecedented in Bee Literature. Price, $1.25. Mailed 

 post-paid, on receipt of price.
