THE present work is offered to the Agricultural com- 

 munity, with perfect confidence. After the most rigid 

 test of experience, it is found to be accurate in all its 

 parts, and of the most simple application to all circum- 

 stances. It will prove itself an invaluable "Companion" 

 to the real, practical man ; giving him the information 

 he seeks in comparatively an instant of time, without 

 the labour of working over long sums ; and its applica- 

 tion can be made while engaged in the labours of the 

 field, without previous preparation. 



To the possessors of large tracts of land in the West, 

 or open country, its use will soon create a necessity for 

 its aid ; for, to be enabled to set off any quantity of 

 land in a field containing, perhaps, a hundred acres, in 

 a few minutes of time, merely by stepping it and putting 

 down four stakes ; as also, to ascertain as quickly the 

 quantity of land that has been ploughed, or planted, or 

 cleared, out of the same tract ; is an advantage, not to 

 be appreciated until it shall have been enjoyed. 



It is printed in the present form and size, that it mighl 

 become " The Farmer's Pocket Companion" in reality.
