Two of the strongest enemies OF

same general character. for they de-
pend on the greed Of men for their

can be profitably sold only when it is
sold for butter. The preservatives are
sold by being proclaimed as perfectly

HAY IN THE STACK.
gree of Accuracy Sufficient for
Ordinary Purposes.

several CORE spnnd,n:s have writ
ten for n certain method Of uca>rr-
ing hay in the stack. Here is one
that Is said to be quite correct. but
who first formulated it We are un-
able TO say: Measure the stack for
length. width and the over" To get
the over" throw Il tape line over the
stack at an average place. from
ground 10 ground, drawing it tightly.
Multiply the width by the over and
divide this result by four; multiply
result of division by the length for
approximate cubical contents of
stack. To reduce to tons: For hay
that has stood i'm stack less than 20
days, divide cubical contents by 512;
for more than 20 and less than 60
days. divide cubical contents by 422;
for more than 60 days. divide cubical
contents 10y $50. For instance, take a
stack which measures II feet wide,
IS feet long and 36 feet over. Stack
has stood l. days. Multiply /. by
81. equals G12. Divide Gle by 4. equals
153. Multiply 153 10y length IS. equals
S.s.l, which gives the cubical con-
tents in feet. Divide S.s7i by 512,
equals H.; tons in stack.

number of cubic feet in Il ton of good

a bay 20 feet long. II feet wide and
