Plowing. 
Long lands are much to be preferred to short fields, as 
much time is saved in turning, and in agricultural 
operations time is everything. 
EXPLANATION.— When the land is no more than 78 yards long, A hours and 39 minutea 
are spent merely in turning at the ends, in a iourney of 8 hours; whereas, wlien the land is 274 
yards long, I hour and 19 minutes are sufficient for that ])uri)ose in the .siuuc length of time. 
The whole .series of furrows on an acre of land, supposniK each to he nine inidiea in width, 
would extend in length to 19,3G0 yards; and, achlins 12 yards to every 220 for the average esti- 
mated ground traveled over in lurning-, the whole work of plowing 1 acre may be given as 
extending to 20,416 yards, or 11 miles and nearly furlongs.
