MEASUREMENT OF LAND. 



Every farmer should know the contents, in acres, of 

 each of his fields, meadows, and lots, to ascertain which he

 5J yards. Provided with this measure, and proceeding 

 according to the following rules, he can ascertain the 

 area in acres of each of his fields, lots, &c.
