The content of various pieces of land of stiH more 

 difficult measurement may be readily found by these 

 tables; but as the present work is designed for the 

 practical Farmer, and not for the surveyor, the subject 

 need not be farther pursued. 



If the length of a piece of land be more than 500 yards, 

 the content may easily be found by the tables: first 

 marking off 500 yards in length, and adding the width, 

 and then taking the remaining length above the 500 

 yards in length : and the sums added together will give 

 the content of the whole field. Now, if for instance, the 

 field be 738 yards long, and width 576, say -

To prove the truth of any of the following tables, 

 multiply the length and breadth together, and divide the 

 product by 4840 the number of square yards contained 

 in an acre, and the quotient gives the number of acres ; 

 then multiply what remains by 4, and the product di- 

 vided as before gives the roods ; and the last remainder,
