MEASURING Hay. TO measure the
contents of stack Of hay proceed as
follows: If it is round stack, taper
ing to a point from the ground, meas
ure the width halfway between the
ground and the peak of the stack !;
multiply this width by itself, and di-
vide the sum by 1854; this will give the
average area of the surface covered by
the stack. Then multiply that by the
height from the ground to the point
Where the width was measured. If
these measurements are feet. the sum
found is TIE cubic feet in the stack.
If the hay is timothy, orchard grass,
millet. CT Hungarian, 500 feet will
make a ton, or Il cube feet each way
II the stack is very solid, and was cut
when dead ripe, $50 feet will make
ton, or cube Of seven feet each way.
II the hay is mixed with clover, about
700 rect, or cube of nine feet each
way, will make ton. If it is all clo-
yer, or light meadow grass, or red top,
500 feet will be required to weigh a
ton, unless it is pressed very hard,
when some allowance must be made.
These estimates are made from notes
of great many stacks and mows Of
various kinds, and will give fair aver
