HoFr's CoxxEsc1A1 KEcEoSEE, for the
use OF farmers and business men, is =
pocket book containing set Of tables which it !
is claimed will materially facilitate the calcu- |
1ation OF the value Of quantities Of grain. ETC.,
the price per bushel being given. We fail to |
see it. though the book has received first-class
endorsement from two or three gentlemen
Who are supposed to be authorities. The
farmer who desires to find the value Of a given
quantity Of grain eau do so more readily by |
simple multiplication, without the book, than !
hy its nse, and Will be in no danger Of being
misled by the employment Of inverted deci- |
naa1s which are not true to the last place. It |
is published at Hudson, Ill, by the author.
