Excerpt from Agricultural Arithmetic
Arithmetic is best regarded as an instrument, a tool, with which to accomplish various desired ends and hence should be studied in adaptation to those ends.
Facility in the use of arithmetic depends upon two things: first a knowledge of the business relations to which it is to be applied, and, second, a knowledge of the pure arithmetical processes together with skill in performing them. Hence this book has been organized into two parts.

Excerpt from Agricultural Arithmetic
To satisfy his wants in his conquest over matter, civilized man, or even the savage, needs to determine the size of the elements with which he deals. To do this he must select a part of the whole, an amount with which he is familiar, and by this estimate or measure the size of the whole.
Mass or magnitude is the simple notion of size. It is indefinite and always suggests the question, How much?
Measurement is the process of determining how much there is of the magnitude. The process of measurement consists in determining the number of units it contains.
A unit is a single thing or a portion of a magnitude into which it is divided in the process of measurement.
Number tells how many units there are in a given mass or magnitude.
Quantity is the complete answer to the question how much there is of the mass or magnitude that is measured.
