On the Farm
Measuring Hay in Stack.

The rules for measuring hay in the
stack vary according to the length
Of time the hay has been stacked.
the kind and quality OF the hay and
also according to the character OF the
stack. With alfalfa or prairie hay
which has been stacked for thirty
days ii is usual to compute an eight
loot cube or 5I2 cubic feet as a ton.
When the hay has been stacked five
or six months, usually ~ -fot cube
or 422 cubic feet Is calculated for a
ton. In old stacks which have stood
for a year or more 7-foot cube or
.343 cubic feet is allowed for a ton.
There are different methods OF
measuring stacks, depending upon
the share OF the stack and also upon
lis size. For long stack or rick
the usual method is to throw a line
over the stack, measuring the dis
tance over from the bottom on one
side to the bottom on the other; add
to this the average width OF the
stack. divide the sum by four
which equals one side Of the square
and multiply the quotient by itself
stack. This will give the number of
cubic feet in the stack, which may
be divided by 5I2. +22 or 3l3 in or
der to find the number of tons.
For small. low ricfs, the rule is to
subtract the width from the over, di
vide by two, multiply by the width
and multiply the product by the
length. dividing the result by the
number of cubic feet in ton There
is no established rule for measuring
round stacks, but this one will ap-
proximate the contents of stack of
the ordinary conical form: Find the
circumference at or above the base of
bulge at a height that will average
the base from there to the ground,
find the vertical height Of the meas
ured circumference from the ground
and the slant height from the circum-
ference to the top of the stack
Multiply the circumference by
itself, divide by 100 and multiply by
eight, then multiply the result by the
height of the base plus one-third of
the slant height of the top. The hay
in a round stack is necessarily less
compact than i'll rectangular stack,
hence greater number of feet should
be allowed for ton, with well-sct-
tied hay probably sI2 cubic feet. The
rules given may also 1e used for
measuring any kind of hay, straw,
cane or kaffr fodder in the stack.
However, for cane or kaffr fodder
only approximate results can be pro-
cured by stack measurements, be-
cause the fodder is apt to vary great
ly in weight according to the moist
ure which it contains.-Field and

VAN TRUMP SHORT
 IN HIS ACCOUNTS
Was Secretary and Treasurer
 of Soil Pipe Company
DISAPPEARED ON TUESDAY
Exact Amount of Shortage Is Not Known, But 1t Is Understood That That 1t Will Reach sev.
 eral Thousands.

Bessemer. February -(special)-Quite a sensation was created in this city to- day when it was learned that Alderman G. L. Van Trump had disappeared last Tuesday. and that he was short in his accounts as secretary and treasurer of the Bessemer Soil Pipe company.
 Mr Van Trump was last seen in this city Tuesday afternoon, and while his mysterious disappearance created some comment 1t was kept quiet and the public was not aware that there was something wrong until the arrival of Auditor San kosky of the soil pipe company arrived from St. Louis and began checking the accounts of the local plant.
 While no definite statement has yet been given out 1t is understood that MT, Van Trump's shortage will amount to several thousand dollars.
 Mr Van Trump came to Bessemer near ly three years ago and accepted the place of secretary and treasurer of the Bes- semer Soil Pipe company. He is young man of fine business ability and made many friends while in the city. Last year he was elected member of the City Council by a large majority and during the short time he has served in the office has won the confidence of all.
 It is believed by his friends that he has gone to relatives in the north for assistance and will return to make good all discrepancies.
 Auditor Sankosky has not yet completed ,is., ,-fr (, definite report as to the shortage.
 Will Accept Resignation.
 A letter was received by the members of the First Baptist church few days ago from the Rev. R. S. Gavin requesting the acceptance of his resignation as pas tor which was rendered some time ago.
 It is understood that the request will be granted at the service tomorrow morn ing, though with considerable regret as he is dearly beloved by every member of the congregation
 The Rev. MT. Gavin has been in ill health for some time and some weeks ago offered his resignation as pastor of the church. Instead of accepting the resg- nation the members voted to give him three or four months in which to rest and regain his health, but, though he has sought more favorable climate in South Alabama, he has gained but little and now asks that his resignation be accepted and that another pastor be secured for the church.
 Musical Club. The Bessemer Musical club, which was recently organized and which includas +to best musicians in the city, will have a meeting next Tuesday night which prom ises considerable interest to the mem- bers.
