A Convenient Way to Measure Land,

1t is frequently desirable TO measure
a given plot of fground or portion of a
field, and simple method, such rs
the following, for which we arc in.
debted to an exchange, will be Of use
10 many Of our readers Surveyors
are not always at convenient dis
tance to attend TO such little jobs, and
even when they do reside in the i'm.
mediate vicinity, one does not always
care to incnr the expense incident to
such a small job. II the lines are al
ready established, the plot can bo
measured with sufficient accuracy for
oil practical purposes by means OF a
neat rod.pole, made rs follows: Pro-
cure stick OF pine, whitewood. bass.
wood, or almost any other timber, one
and half inches square and sixteen
and half feet long Dress each end,
tapering from tho middle, so that the
pole will be ono and half inches
square at tho middle and about half
an inch square ut each end. Such q
pole will be light and quite stiff. Now
graduate ono side with tho marks rep
resenting feet and inches, and gradu.
ate another sido to indicate q sur
veycr's links. A polo ono rod in
lcngth must DO equal 10 twenty five
links. TO divide one side correctly,
lot mechanics compass bc adjusted,
so that tho points will divide tho dis.
tancc into twenty-five equal spaces or
links. A line can DO measured with
such a polo nearly as accurately as
with surveyors chain.
4 Now, then, if person docs not un-
derstand how TO multiply chains and
links, lot him compute the measure
ment by square feet. In ono acre
therc are 1850 square feet. Any in
telligcnt school boy can measure tho
length and breadth Of q square plot,
multiply ono by tho other, and divide
tho product by 43,560, which will give
tho number Of acres, and the number
OF square fcct representing tho frac.
ton Of an acre. II II is desirable TO
measure a triangular plot, two sides
OF which lio at right angles, measure
these two sides, multiply tho distance
In feet ono BY tho othor, and divide
that product by two, which will indi-
cato tho number Of square feet, by
4a,560, aud tho quolicnt will represent
the number Of acros. a
