In answer to a number OF inquiries
the Orange Judd Farmer again pub
fishes few simple rules for deter
mining the amount OF hay in stack
or NOV. when il is not convenient 10
weigh il Selling by measurement is
not always the most satisfactory
method, but it sometimes is most
convenient
Sellers are disposed TO insist that
a cube OF seven feet is a ton. This
is entirely too small and will not
weigh out How many cubic feet
will make a ton depends on so many
conditions that no certain rule can
be given.
Il depends on the kind Of hay.
whether timothy, alfalfa or prairie.
on the character OF the hay, whether
fine or coarse. on the condition in
which il was put in the stack. and
particularly on the size. especially
the depth Of the stack or NOW
In very large mow. well settled,
400 cubic feet OF alfalfa or timothy
may average a ton. but on top OF the
NOV or in a small stack. il requires
500 to 5l2 cubic feet; sometimes even
more.
Il is not safe for the buyer TO
figure on less than 500 cubic feet; but
in a well filed NOW. in selling we
would rather weigh than sell At that
measurement
To find the number OF tons in a
barn NOW or hay shed multiply the
length, depth and breadth together
and divide by the number OF cubic
feet you think, considering the quail
ity OF hay and the condition in which
it was put up will make tol
To measure a ne-shaped stack,
find the area of the base by multiply
ing the square Of the circumference
in feet by the decimal .0795s and
multiply the product thus obtained
by one-third Of the height in feet. and
then divide as before, cutting on fye
right hand figures
The correctness Of this will depend
somewhat on the approximation OF
/ the stack to a regular cone. and IL
the stack bulges out il makes the

is to estimate the area OF stack up 10

The best way is to weigh The ex-
perience Of weighing few stacks will
enable any one 10 judge quite ac-
curately. Another approximate rule
for measuring a round stack is this:

sible to what the average Size would

While lying in camp after the bat
tie Of Stone river, several Of the bows

boots from home mp in Gods country,
and knowing that castor oil was

repeated visits to the doctors quarters
for physic, always carrying the oil TO

the doctor. Mistrusting that certain
parties needed a good deal OF
oil for a common camp complaint, he
finally found out they oiled their new
boots at the expense of Uncle sam.

The victim happened to be a Dutch

be permitted to take the oil '.mid his

relent, but requested him to swallow

Az enormous quantity of canned
goods is annually put up and sent
broadcast to please or to poison hu-
manity. There is no doubt that the
acid contained in tomato, for ex-
ample, if allowed to remain a term
of years will by slowly acting on the
metal which confines it develop a
poison almost as active as strychnia.
The canned goods as now shipped
have no way for the jobber, retailer
or consumer to determine how old
the stock is. Why should not the
food commissioner, who is given
much latitude in such cases, order
that every can should have stamped
on it the year in which it was filled
1t is almost as easy to indeIibly
stamp tin as to paste label. Con.
sumers Of canned goods could in this
way escape the danger of being poi
soned by simply observing the date
