MEASURING Corn IN THE EAR.--IIaying
gathered and safely housed his corn, the
farmer wishes to ascertain with some de-
gree of certainty what amount of shelled
corn there may be in his pile. There are
various rules for this, all of which are
more or less serviceable. The following
we find in the Halley Farmer, and it is
one which can be easily tested. II it
prove a sound rule, we advise our readers
to cut it out, and keep it for reference
Arrange the corn in the pen or crib,
so that it will be of equal depth through
out; then ascertain the length. breadth,
and depth of the pile; multiply these d.
mensions together, and their product by
4 l-2. Then cut off one figure from the
right Of the last product. and the remain
der will be SO many bushels of shelled
corn and the figure cut off will show
now many tenths Of bushel more
"Eran.ple.-In crib or pen of corn in
the ear, measuring 10 feet long, 8 feet
high, and 7 feet wide, there viii be 952
bushels of shelled corn. Thus :-Iox8x
7x41-2-952,9."
