In likemanner, continue with all the other stakes, checking, in the mean time, each of the stations by oblique,cross, and longitudinal sights, till the whole be completed. Every tree in such an orchard, will be fiftyfeet from each of its neighbours : but the rows will be only forty-three and three-tenths feet apart; andthis distance is to fifty feet nearly as seven is to eight.
