\i\ Eiif^lisli acre contains 1(>0 rods or pole«, 4,840 yards, 

 43,560 feet. 



Ill planling ii])un an extensive scale, the ground is generally pre- 

 pared by task-work : draining by the rod ; trenching by the acre, 

 rod, or jxde ; and planting sometimes by the liiindred or thousand, 

 and also by the rod or acre. The prej)aration of the ground may 

 almost always be with economy done in this manner ; but in regard 

 to planting, at least puttinc^ in the trees, it may be expected to be 

 better done by day -work. The pits or holes, however, when the trees 

 are so large as to recpiire that mode of planting, may be done by the 

 hundred, thousand, or by the acre, pole, &c. 



In purchasing hardy trees or shrubs, the fonner, particularly 

 forest-trees, are bought by the thousand, when small ; by the hun- 

 dred, when larger ; and, when very large, by so much per tree. Shrubs 

 of the most common kinds are purchased by tlie thousand or hun- 

 tlred ; and when new, rare, or expensive, by (he individual.
