EXPLANATION OF TABLE III 



The preceding Table, from 1 to 3 feet, shews the number 

 of Cabbages, Tm-nips, &c. that can be planted on an acre for 

 feeding cattle. 



From 1 to 6 feet — the number of young Timber or Forest 

 Trees that can be planted on an acre. 



From 6 to 20 feet — the number left after the first, second, 

 and third cuttings. 



From 20 to 25 feet — the number of Fruit Trees that can 

 be planted on an acre. 



By this Table may also be seen the difference or proportion 

 between the Scotch acre and the Imperial acre. The first 

 numbers in the second and fourth columns are the number of 

 square feet in the Scotch and Imperial acres respectively ; so 

 the Imperial acre is to the Scotch acre as 43*560 is to 54*760, 

 or as £ 1, in money, is to £l : 5 : l/o. The proportions be- 

 tween the nmnbers of the second and fourth columns, and in 

 the third and fifth columns, are the same throughout the Ta- 

 ble : therefore, supposing the plants to be acres, and, exchang- 

 ing the titles, putting Scotch in place of Imperial, and Impe- 

 rial in place of Scotch, the corresponding numbers in the se- 

 cond and fourth columns, and in the third and fifth columns,
