TABLE IV. 



TO ASCERTAIN THE CONTENT OF LAND IN DRILLS. 



THIS Table shows the content or quantity of land in drills, <fcc., 

 from 12 inches to 12 feet wide, and from 6 inches, cr J of a yard, 

 to 1100 yards long. 



EXAMPLE I. Required the content of 8 drills, 28 inches wide 

 and 102J yards long ? 



1021X8 = 820 yards, .length of the 8 drills; and in the Table, 

 under 28 inches, look first for 800 yards, 



Po. Kd. Ft. 



Opposite which stands . . . 20 17 2 

 And opposite 20 yards stands . 15 5 



21 2 4f 



It will be observed in adding the above, that as 30| yards, or 

 30 yards 2| feet, are equal to 1 pole, that number is subtracted 

 from the 32 yards 7 feet, leaving 2 yards 4f feet, and 1 is carried 

 to the poles column, making 21 poles, 2 yards, 4| i'eet, the con- 

 tent of the 8 drills. 



EXAMPLE TI. Required the content of 12 drills, 34 inches wide 

 and 160| yards long? 



160fX12=1929 yards, length of the 12 drills; and having 

 found 34, the width in the Tables, the most convenient method to 

 take for the length in this case is to add the contents at 900 and 

 1000, which can be easily done, without copying them separately 

 from the Table, and in like manner add 14 and 15 for the remain- 

 ing 29 yards, thus : 



Opposite the lengths of 900 and 1000 Ro. Po. Yds. Ft. 



yards=1900, stands . . . 1 19 9 6 

 And opposite the lengths of 14. and 15 



yards=29, stands . . . 27 3 



1 20 6 6|
