HOW TO MEASURE HAY.
An HE4y Method to Ascertain the Number
 of Tons In B Barn or In . Stack.


 An fcR4y Method to Ascertain the Number
 of Tons In B Barn or In . Stack.
 It is not safe for the buyer to figure on less than 500 cubic feet to the ton, but in a we'll filled mow about 450 is the average, whereas in a very large and particularly we'll packed mow7 it will sometimes run as low as 400 to 40 cu- bic feet to the ton. Then sell at that measurement. To find the number of tons in a barn, mow or hay shed, multi ply the length, depth and breadth to- gether and divide by the number of cu- bic feet you think, considering the quail ity of the hay and the condition in which it was put up, will make a ton.
 To measure q cone shaped stack, find the area of the base by multiplying 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 off five right figures. The correctness of this will depend some what on the approximation of the stack to a regular cone, and if the stack bulges out it makes the product too small The better way is to estimate the area of the stack up to q point of tapering ill and apply above rules to cone shaped top.
 Another approximate rule for measur- ing round stack is this: Select place which is, as near as possible, to what the average size would be if the stack was of uniform diameter from the ground to the top point. Measure around l this to get the circumference, add foti ciphers to the circumfereSce at the right and divide the whole by 31.459 to get the diameter Now multiply half of the diameter by half of the circumference and you have the feet of the circular area Multiply by the number of feet the stack is high and you will have the | solid or cubic feet in the whole; then | divide by 800, which will give the num- | Der of tons in the stack.

Oh, to be Governor for a day.
"Thou cans't not say did it.

1t was plain case, where the lobby
is 1nightier than the legislature.
It does take some courage, that's a
fact, to squarely back down from a posi-
tive promise.
How would it do to abolish the SUI

We1 her Crop Bulletin.

For the week ending Monday, May
-, by :. {. Emery, Director Weather
bureau, 3ii,"aukte, Wis. Bulletin No.
The favorable weather conditions
prevailing Ut the time the last report
was issued, continued during greater
! portion Of the past week which was
even more favorable than the preceding
one. The rainfall was sufficient for all
needs, sunshine about the average, and
temperature remarkably high for the
season. The heat which was great
during the. first part of the week,
steadily increased up to Thursday when
the thermometer registered so degrees
or more IN nearly all sections of the
state except near the lake shore where
it was somewhat cooler owning to the
lake breezes.
1t was eXtre mely warm on Friday,
but in tie afternoon of that day cold
wave swept over the state which caused
a drop in temperature of from so to 10
degrees in a very few hours. The
sudden change in temperature was
accompanied by severe thunder storms,
high winds and more or less hail,
followed by sharp frosts on Saturday,
Sunday and Monday nights. On Sum
day snow storm prevailed throughout
greater portion of the state, being
particularly severe in the northern half,
where from three to six inches is re-
ported to have fallen during the day.
In the extreme northern counties the
ground frOze and ice formed about ]
inch thick. The damage resulting from
frosts, hail, high winds and washing
rains have been considerable in all sec
tons, but the injury to fruit and grain
is greatest in the central and northern
portions. Grapes and apples are re-
ported killed. Small fruit is greatly
damaged in the southern part of the
state while in the northern portion it is
very generally killed. Vegetables in
many sections Of the state have been
killed and gardens will have to be re-
| planted.
Late advices indicate that while there
has been some damage done to fruit
and vegetables in the southern portion,
it is not as great as expected, the high
winds and cloudy weather warding off
frost in many portions. Taking all
things into consideration, with the
prospect Of a return of the warm
weather tomorrow, the outlook is still
decidedly favorable for bountiful
harvest.

Outdoor Exercise.

Exercise is the best remedy for that
foe to age, corpulency; it makes good
muscle and firm flesh, while it banishes
fat. There can be no health of the
muscles, and while physical culture
exercises, so arranged as to bring into
use all the voluntary muscles of the body
are indispensable to those who lead
inactive lives, there are few who are
engaged in active work who would not
be benefited by them. Mental in
tluences also must receive great con-
sideration would you grow young
instead Of old, for mental health is the
prime factor in physical health.

Moore Sc Livingstone Co.

Are occupying the boards at the opera
house in this city all the week. They
are frst-class company deserving
fully the liberal patronage they are
receiving. It is a pleasure now days
to meet with ladies and gentlemen, with
all these words imply, among travelling
show people, especially those making
the smaller cities. Too often we meet
with people who possess the higher
principles of character in too small a
degree, that when We meet with those
who prefer to present more elevating
class of plays We feel that they ought
to be encouraged. So far we have
nothing but commendation for this
company. May they continue in their
higher grade of plays and prosperity is
the wish Of the REPORTER.

What a Han AdmireS.

A man admires a well shod and well
gloved woman.
He admires becoming rather than a
snowy headgear on a woman.
He likes, and is very apt 10 love, one
who sets him at ease, makes him salts
fed with himself.
He usually thinks the woman all that
is admirable who flatters him Judicious-
ly.
No one ever met a man, who in his
heart, did not prefer a woman should
know how to make good things to tickle
his palate rather than pound a piano or
paint china.
He admires a thoroughly charming
hostess.
He likes good feminine listener.
He admires a lovable, womanly
woman as much as ever, and always
will.

Condition of Trade.

The event of the week is the
decentralization of foreign exchange
caused by enormous sales of bonds
abroad. Besides a sale Of $4,000, 900
Manhattan and other railroad bonds
through all the syndicate, large pur-
chases On foreign account have been
recorded for some weeks, so that the
aggregate probably exceeds $50,OOO,O 900
since the sale of governments. Safety
for the summer means much for all
business, and the syndicate deems it so
fully assured that it distributes 40 per
cent. of the money advanced by the
associates, which relieves large amount
to stimulate operations in securities and
products. Crop prospects also have
greatly improved, and this is of still
higher Importance, as it will do much to
determine the character and volume of
all business after summer uncertainties
are over. In addition business is reviv-
ing, though the gain in great industries
is retarded by many strikes. The
volume of business represented by
exchanges for the first full week Of May
is 27.2 per cent. larger than last year,
and only 17.2 per cent. less than in 1898,
but bond and speculative operations
have so swelled transactions here that
the gain Of II per cent. over last year
outside New York is for the moment
a closer indication of general business,
Railroad earnings are also better, for
the last week of April exceeding last
years by 10.S per cent, and the loss for
the month compared with 1898 is only
III per cent.-Dun's Review.
