illustrated in the sketch, If the stack
were cut down along the ridge to the
shoulder: and the hay built over on the
other side there would be formed a
fat-topped stack Of half the width of

the shoulder and the top is very
rounding, so that the contour Of a

Gle, as indicated by the dotted semi
circumference in the drawing, the VOL
ume, above the shoulder, will be more
nearly given by multiplying the VOL
ume computed the other way by 3.1416
or by IL and then dividing the re-
suit by two. As matter of fact, the
true volume usually lies between that
given by the two methods, but nearer
to the first, and as the top of the
stac11 is loosest and often most DAM
aged, the first method is usually the
best to adopt. If this hay is rather
coarse Alfalfa, and especially if it has
not had long to settle, the mean vol
ume Of ton is likely to be above
rather than below 500 cubic feet. and
hence less rather than more than 27
and 46 tons respectively. If the hay
was stacked rather green it would
pack closer tnan if stacked dry, and
would weigh more per unit volume.
