Bushels in a Heap of Grain.

To prevent too much handling it Il
well to know how to measure grains
in piles:
First rule. Throw up the piles into
complete cores as high as the grain
will permit. Measure accurately the
slant height from base to apex, and
multiply this length by itself. Meas
ure the perpendicular height of the
cone and multiply this length 10y itself
Subtract one of these sums from the
other and multiply the remainder by
the height of the cone From this
a mount take one sixth of itself, and
the remainder will be the number Of
bushels in the heap.
Second rule Throw up the grain
into as complete a cone as possible,
having the base as nearly a circle as
practicable. Then multiply the area
of the base by the height of the cone
and take One-third the product. This
will give the number Of cubic feet.
From this deduct one-ffth of itself,
and the remainder is the number of
bushels.
The reasons of this rule are plain
and simple. The base is a circle, and
its area is found by multiplying the
circumference BY one fourth the diam
eter. The Product resulting from
multiplying this area by the height of
the cone would give the contents of a
cy Under; but a cone is one-thrd of
cylinder, having the same base and
the same altitude, hence we take one
third of this product to find the cubic
feet in cone.
From this amount we deduct one
fifth of itself, because a hushel is near
ly One-ffth larger than a cubic foot.
Let us illustrate. Suppose you had
cone of shelled oats in your barn ten
feet in diameter at the base. The
circumference will be 81 80 feet, be-
cause this is about the relative length
of the two lines, the diameter being
taken as one, the circumference will
measure ., ,I46. Now multiply 3IJ q
the diameteT) and we have 7S3 as the
number Of square fePtin the base of the
pile of oats whose diameter is ten feet.
Now suppose the cone (pile of oats)
to be four feet and a half high, ] Of
this is J feet. Multiply 784 by u
and we have 11S5 cubic feet in the
pile. Deduct one fifth of this number,
or 233 from itself, and we have 945
bushels of shelled oats in the pile, if
ten feet in diameter at the base, four
and half feet high, and tbrownIup to
a point.
If the pile is against the siie of the
house it will contain half that number
of bushels. If in n corner it will con-
tain One-fourth.
This system of measurement will be
sufficiently accurate to estimate crop
so as to let the the farmer know about
how much he has made But if he is
buying or selling, he should do both
always by weight, as some honest men
may have very large half hushel meas
ures.
