HAY IN THE STACK.
How 1t Can BE Measured with N De-
gree of Accuracy Sufficient for
Ordinary Purposes.

Several correspondents have writ
ten for certain method of measur-
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 tape line over the
stack at an average place, from
ground to 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 in stack less than 20
days, divide cubical contents by 512;
for more than 20 and less than GO
days, divide cubical contents by 422;
for more than 60 days, divide cubical
contents by $50. For instance, take a
stack which measures II feet wide,
So feet long and SO feet over. Stack
has stood Is days. Multiply 1. by
SO, equals Gig. Divide 612 by 4, equals
1853. Multiply 15a by length 5S, equals
s,S74, which gives the cubical con-
tents in feet. Divide S,S74 by 512,
equals 17.3 tons in stack.
In the bay the rule is to multiply
the length, width and height of the
bay, or the hay, together, and then
divide the total by $50, the supposed
number of cubic feet in a ton of good
timothy after it is well settled. Thus
bay 20 feet long, Is feet wide and
Is feet high would contain 10 tons
and 1,75o pounds. OF course these
measurements are only approximate,
and the actual results will show
slight variations either one way or
the other. There is no rule that can
be absolutely correct.-Washingto1

RASPBERRY CULTURE.
Valuable Suggestions for Those whe
Irtend tn Engage in the Busi-
ness Next Year.

Select a piece of ground with good
surface drainage, facing east or
south. The soil should contain
good amount of humus. A good
clover sod which had a crop of po-
tatoes taken from it the year before
planting berries, would be my ideal.
During winter or in early spring give
1t liberal dressing of stable manure
about to IL tons per acre. Plow
under in early spring but be careful
not to plow when the ground is too
wet. l prefer blowing z or inches
deep.
Pulverize ground thoroughly; mark
out with single shovel plow about
inches deep; rows 3h feet apart.
Plant every other row to potatoes,
then plant your berries in the re-
naming rows. Now we want good
thrifty, well-rooted plants. When we
have to purchase them or have to
transport a considerable distance we
want them in a dormant state, but
when plants can be got on an adjoin-
ing planta tion prefer to have plants
well started, say tops inches high,
king them up with all the soil that
will adhere to roots, only taking
about or 4 dozen at a time and
planting them feet in row, running
the shovel plow through the row just
before planting so the soil is fresh
and moist. AS soon as they are set
start the cultivation to form an earth
mulch and arrest the evaporation
from the surface of moisture brought
up by capillary attraction; also to
kill all weeds. Keep cultivating all
summer and keep clear from weeds.
The potato crop will pay for the
work and the use of the land. DO
not prune the first season. In the
following spring prune the laterals
back to 10 or IL inches. After fruit
ing remove all old canes, and all new
canes except 3 or of the strongest,
in August or September.
/ take one horse to a breaking
plow and plow the soil up to the row
of plants, forming quite ridge. The
reason 1 do this is, it braces up the
plants and keeps them from being
blown over; also it drains the surface
water from the plants and keeps
them from heaving out the following
spring. / prune all laterals back to
s or II inches. The reason of so close
pruning is it preserves the vitality
of plants. Also it makes them set
less fruit, but it will be of finer and
better quality and just as many
quarts. l cut the top bud out of all
canes when 2h feet high so that they
will form laterals. After the second
year cultivate with double shovel
plow and five-tooth cultivator. My
first plantation has fruited four
crops and this spring has fine set
of canes for fifth crop and from ap-
pearances will produce paying crops
for three years or more in the future.
I attribute this success to close prun-
ing.-George Wyler, in Ohio Farmer.
