From the Riehmons Enqairor
The tithiBg law will so0a render much nsaE-
ursmsnl necessary. I propose 70 givs plaia
rules intalligibls 10 farmers generally, fer fnd-
iag the contents Of different vessels cribs, baT-
rss, potato nils, and tae liks-not following the
order Of the questions proposed By your core
spondsnt, bHs still answering tham al, and
serhans others. Il Wozld be well for every
farmer TO cut out this Communication and prs
serve Il.
I.uisa a very easy matter 70 And tie num5er
sf cubic feet Ia any crib or sox, square a. Ils
corners. Multiply ihe lsagth by the brsadths
(iR fsss) for tbe number Of square ieeL on ne
aoor, aad this prodBet by tbs aepts, tor the fa-
ggrad number of cubic fact in ths 0ox or Lo7La.
Thus if a room be II feet long 5y . Wlae' i
contains I2x6=72 square feet on the hoor' ana
if 3 feet dsep, il eangains 3x5=365 cubic ieet-
3 TO snd tbs number OF bushels is also easy
A cubic foot contains 1928 cubic Iucaas, ana
bushel about 2l60 (accuratsly 2l6042 iaeaes.
A cubic foot il thsFolars I72S-2i6O=4-9 OF o-iV
Of q bushsi. To reduce cubic test to bazHsls'
multiply the number of cubic feet by ana enL
ef I decimal figure. In 800 cubic iseS mere
ara 360x6=25S.0 or 253 bushels. A wiGe ga
lou contains 23I cubic inches A cubic toet
therefore contains about u and bushal a9ous
q vino gallons.
