MEASUREMENT OF LAND. 



It is often desirable, for experimental and other pur- 

 poses, for a farmer to lay off small portions of his ground. 

 To enable him to do so, we have compiled the following : 

 TABLE, showing the square feet and the feet square of the 

 fractions of an acre. 



TABLE, showing the number of hills or plants on an acre 

 of land, for any distance apart, from 10 inches to 6 

 feet the lateral and longitudinal distances being unequal. 



EXPLANATION. Find the distance between jour plants 

 or hills the widest way in the left hand column, then trace 

 the line in which it stands to the right, until it intersects 

 the column headed by the number that expresses the dis- 

 tance of the narrow way, where you will find the number 

 sought.
