How to Measure an Acre and Parts OF
an Acre.

Land can be measured with satisfactory
accuracy for many purposes by pacing.
Five PAGES are equal to one liberal rod. \
man having long legs will usually measure
more than a rod at five PAGES, while short
legged man will be obliged to step unnatu-
rally long to measure a rod at five PAGES.
The correct way is to measure 162 feet on
level ground; then practice gauging the
steps. until one can measure one rod at every
five steps. Then one hundred steps or PAGES
will be equal to twenty rods If plot of
land be two hundred PAGES long and fifty
PAGES wide, call every five PAGES rod, null
tiply the rods in length by the rods in width,
and divide the product by 100, the square
rods in one acre. Thus: 100 PAGES, 20 rods,
and 30 PAGES 10 rods, or 10 by 20 200 square
rods, which divided by 100, q acres
A square acre is about POS feet 5! inches
on every side.
In order to lay out one acre of land twice
as long as the width, the length must be Al
feet and 5 inches and the width l04 feet
inches.
Twenty feet front and 217s feet deep, one
acre.
Twenty-Five feet front and 1922 feet deep,
one acre.
Thirty feet front and 1852 feet deep, enc
acre
Thirty-three feet front and 1920 feet deep,
one acre.
Forty feet front and 1889 feet deep, one
acre.
Fifty feet front and 81 PIP feet deep,
one acre.
One hundred feet front and 1853 feet
deep, one acre.
In one square acre there are AZ, $50 super
fetal feet; $40 acres make one square mile
100 acres equal a quarter section. If plow
turn furrow slice one foot wide team
must travel about eight and one-third miles
to pillow one acre.
When rows of corn, or any other crop, are
three feet apart, and horse hoe is drawn
once between every two, horse must travel
q miles to finish one acre.
