HAY IN THE STACK.
It Can De Measured By GuessworaI
Bat Progressive Farmers Pre-.
fer the Use of Scales.

At seasons of the year when hay
is being sold in the stack, there 10
more or less demand for rules OF
measurement that will approximate
y determine the tonnage in stacks.
The custom of giving seven-toot
cube, or .}43 cubic feet for q ton OF
haN which was in use years ago, In
some localities, has not proven sat-
isfactory to the buyers of hay, the
universal claim being that the meas
urement does not hold out with
scale weights.
It has more recently been sug-
gested that ton of dry hay should
he variously estimated from 400 to
500 cubic feet, depending upon the
solidity Of the stack, the quality or
kind Of hay and it's aptitude to pack
closely.
The following rule is given tor tho
measurement of hay in ricks or loag
stacks: Multiply the length in feet
by the width in feet, and the result
by one-half the height: divide the
product by 500, and the result will
be in tons.
To estimate the contents Of a
round stack, multiply the square OF
the distance around the stack lat the
bulge) in yards by four times the
height in yards, and point off two
places from the right; this will be
the number of cubic yards in the
stack, which divided by 20 will equal
the number of tons.
While these measurements may as
sist in approximately getting at the
| contests of stack, there are so
many factors besides bulk entering
into the weight of hay in q stack
that there is much more satisfaction
when it can be weighed that we urge
farmers in every case where posi-
BILE to weigh the hay when selling or
| buying; in fact, use the scales in all
| commercial transactions on the
farm. What would be thought of a
merchant or manufacturer who
Bumped" his goods when selling? Is
not n farmer merchant when sell.
ing the produce of his farm, as well
as a manufacturer when converting
the products of the farm into meat,
milk or wool?
The scale is one factor in putting
farmers on commercial footing
with other tradesmen.
When once pair of scales is put
on the farm or a platform scale
placed in the barn, keep it in order
for an incorrect scale is more unsat'
isfactory than none, for after
weighing a thing you then have ia
"guess at it,"
No matter how good a guesser or
estimator a man may be, there is
more satisfaction in knowing what q
thing is worth when selling it at the
market price.-Farmers' Voice.

WHAT SETTLERS IN SAS.

Formerly from the United StateS'

Roshern, July Sth, 1900.
Frank Pedley, Esq,
Superintendent of immigration.
Strive the undersigned settlers in
Saskatchewan, Township 43, Range 6,
beg to submit the following letter. We
came from Springfield, Bonhomme
County, S. Dakota, in the spring of 1899,
and settled where we now reside. We
had considerable crop last year we
put in on breaking, and it was very
good, and this year 1900 our crop is
excellent. Our wheat will yield about
twenty bushels to the acre, the oats
and barley are also very good, and
our potatoes and root crop all that
could be desired. We consider this a
fine country, and are glad we came, as
our prospects could not be better. A
poor man will get start in this coun-
try much quicker than in Dakota.
We are yours respectfully,

Arrived in Chicago, the truth of the
whole affair came out. Every body was

archly. "You always were changeable,
