To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I send you the part relative to the cost. I have a feed-cutter, with three knives, cost 800 frarics (|160). I tie the stalks. in bundles of about 10 kilogrammes, using for that one of the stalks. Two men take the maize from the uuloaders and place it on a narrow table prolonging the box of the cutter ; another man passes it along to the man that feeds it to the machine, 1 have. two men in the silo. Thus I tnake the cost : / Five laborers at 35 cents ^ - - $1 75 One mechanic at cutter ■ 50 One e...ngineer 70 Coal, 330 lbs :... , 1 50 Oil , 15 Use of engine 2 00 Use of feed-cutter 1 00 Incidentals 40 ,$8 00 57 " Ten bundles pass easily per minute, making '^2o lbs. or 13,500 lbs. per hour ; but as there is time lost in oiling and examining knives and removing them to sharpen, I only reckon 9,000 lbs. per hour as regular result. This gives a net cost of 20 cents per 2,250 lbs. Ce n'est rien. I have not tried -with a horse-power, but I have it from a neighbor that it costs 60 cents for 2,250 lbs.
