RULES FOR LAYING OUT TRACKS. 



Half -Mile Track. The question often arises with owners 

 of stock farms as to the correct method of laying out a track 

 for the training and development of their stock. To such the 

 following directions will fill the bill. 



For a half-mile track lay off or draw two parallel lines, 600 

 feet long and 452 feet and 5 inches apart. Then, half way be- 

 tween the two extreme ends of the parallel line, drive a stake ; 

 then loop a wire around the stake just long enough to reach to 

 either side ; then make a true curve with the wire from the 

 stake, thus describing your half circle for the turns, and throw 

 them up one inch to the foot. Three feet from the line will 

 measure a full half mile. 



To Lay Out a Full Mile Track, t select a level field of forty- 

 two acres, draw through the center a straight line of 440 yards
