MEASURING LANDAU Iowa farmer
recommends Tie following device foI
measuring land:
Take two Stats about six feet long,
sharpen one end of each, lay them upon
the floor like pair of open cOmpasses,
SO that the points shall be five feet SIX
inches apart, now nail the other tive
ends together, and piece across the
middle, so that it will look like the let
ter A ; and the measure is finished.
To measure land, place one point at the
starting place, and the other also upon
the ground in a straight line for the
destination. Stand along side the ma
chine, with one hand on the top Of it
take ore step forward, tie up the point
that is behind, swing it around from
YOU on the other point, and set in {
! line also.
A person in this manner can measure
. correctly as fast as he can walk-three
spaces make a rod. Walk straight
without stopping, count the spaces, di
! vide this by three, and you have tht
rods.
