MEASURING HAY IN STACK.

Here are a few simple rules for
determining the amount of hay
in a stack or NOW, when it is not
convenient to weigh it. Selling
by measurement is notalways the
most satisfactory method, but it
| is sometimes the most convent
ent. Sellers are disposed to in
sist that cube of Z feet is u 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 GER
tain rule can be given. 1t de-
pends 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 it was put in the stack, the
length Of time it has been there,
and particularly on the size, es-
pccially the depth of the stack or
NOV.
In very large NOV, well set
tied, 400 cubic feet Of alfalfa or
timothy may average ton, but
on top of the NOW or in a small
stack it requires 500 to 5l2 cubic
feet, some times even more. 1t
is not safe for the buyer to figure
on less than 500 cubic feet, but in
well filed stack, in selling, it
would be safer to weigh than to
sell at that measurement To
find the number of tons in q barn
NOW or hay shed, multiply the
length, depth and breadth togeth-
er and divide by the number of
cubic feet which, considering the
quality of hay and condition in
which it is put up, will make a
ton. For long stacks or ricks
multiply the length in yards and
this by half the altitude in yards
and divide the product by fifteen,
and this should give the Tonnage.
Tomeasure cone shaped stack
find the area of the base by null
tiplying the square of the cir
cumference in feet by the deci-
NAL .07958 and multiply the pro
duct thus obtained by one-third |
of the height in feet and then di-
vide as before, cutting off five
right hand figures. The correct
ness of this will depend some
what on the approximation of the
stack to 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 the point of tapering
in and apply the rule to the cone
shaped top. The best way is to
weigh. The experience of weigh
ing a few stacks will enable any
one to Judge quite correctly.
Another approximate rule for
measuring a round stack is this:
Select place which is as near as
possible to what the average size
would be if the stack were of uni
form diameter from the ground
to the top of the point. Measure
around this to get the circumfer-
ence. Add four ciphers to the
circumference at the right and
divide the whole by 1850 to get
the diameter. Now multiply half
the diameter by half the circum-
ference and the feet of the cir
area are obtained.
by the number of feet
the stack is high, and the solid or
cubic feet in the whole are ascer-
tanned. Then divide by the mum
Der of feet in a ton, which ranges
I'll the way from $40 to 512, ac-
to the fineness and com
Dactness of the hay. This will
give the number of tons in the
stack.
1t is reliably estimated that

A SUGGESTION TO OUR MAYORS.
How They May Escape Making
Speeches on the Cruiser Raleigh.

There are those who point to the col
lege wells as a sure evidence of the de-
cadence of college life. The foot ball
players do not take that view of it. but
hold that it shows progress i'll intellec-
tual as well as athletic culture. The
crew of the Raleigh evidently agree
with the college boys. A few days ago.
the president made complimentary and
pleasant speech to the crew of the RAJ
leigh. When he had finished, there was
an embarrassing pause. Not one felt
himself equal to the task of replying to
the President: the sailors relieved the
embarrassment by turning out their toes
and yelling Justify
who are we? Can't you see? We
are members of the new, navee. Rah!
Rah. Rah. Raleigh"
If the college men had not made such
response respected the world over the
members of thes new nayee' would not
have dared to make such a response 1t
will be admitted that it was much more
appropriate and effective than If some
blushing sailor. unaccustomed to public
speaking, had stepped forth and replied
in tiresome Grafton which he had
poorly committed to memory. The yell
was spontaneous and soon endeu, IL
formal speech of reply would have smelt
of the camp. and been long and boring.
Commenting on the yell of the Raj
eigh sailors, the Chicago Daily News is
of the opinion that it is the beginning of
new era when college yell will take
the place of oratory, but it thinks it will
not entirely supercede it for some time
to come. 1t says:
'Some years will be required for the
custom to become universal, so that the
president, reviewing the valiant tars. will
address them thus: He, he, he! Look
at me I'm the boss of the whole navee.
But there is no doubt that the trend OF
progress will be in that direction. For
example. the 'Lexow' committee could
scarcely do better than declare its posi-
ton and purposes thus: Bow! wow
WOW, That is how We'll get after
Carter now.
Why shouldn't Mayor Powell and
Mayor Waddell be the pioneers in the
new evolutions on the occasion of the
ceremonies incident to the reception of
the Raleigh.

THE BURNS CASE.
DR.. Burns Counsel Depends Upon
Misconception of the Term Joint
Session"

Dr. Burns COnnSeI depends Upon d
Misconception of the Term Joint
Session"
The counsel for DR.. Burns, fEding
that they have nothing to stand upon,
are now hoping that the Supreme
court will decide that a joint session
is the same as a joint ballot. Every
one knows that Mr.. Cherry was elect
ed in Joint session, and Burns counsel
seek to make it appear that this
means Joint ballot. 1t is to such
straits as these that the pie-eaters
are driven, and, strange to say, they
expect the Supreme court to sustain
such a contention.
A Joint session is meeting of both
Houses in the hall of one OF them
that is when the Senate, headed by
the Lieutenant Governor, comes TO
the House for the execution OF some
common purpose in which case the
Lieutenant Governor and Speaker
jointly preside, the Lieutenant Cover
nor putting the various motions on
questions which may arise. A joint
ballot is when both Houses vote at
the same time (theretofore agreed
upon) for some officer, and it is z
JOINT ballot whether the Houses are
in joint session or separate session.
The election of a public officer ana
the enactment of statute are very
different proceedings. In the former
case the majority of the aggregate
vote elects, provided Il qnorlm OF
both Houses votes whether the cote
is cast in joint session or separate
session. In the latter case the enact
ment of law requires IA majority of
a quorum in each House, separately
considered.
The declaration of the result of any
election always presumes the presence
of quorum. unless the contrary APP
pears from the journal.
