Measuring Hay

M question comes 10 our office more
frequently than that pertaining to this
subject. The rules for measuring vary
according To- the length of time the hay
has been stacked and the kind and
quality of the hay and also according
to tho character of the stack With
alfalfa which has been stacked for
thirty days 1t is usual to compute an
eight foot cube or jl2 feet as ton.
When the hay has been stacked five or
i29 cubic feet is calculated fer 4 to;l
In old. fully settled stacks II is usual tO
allow u foot cuhr or ai3 cubic feet
for Il ton: or sometimes in very large
stacks or mows only ZIG cubic feet ar
six-foot cube are allowed.
The volume of NOV is readily So
cured simply by multiplying together
the length. width and height. There
are different methods for measuring
hay in the stuck. depending upcn the
shape of the rick and also upon its
sizr. With II long rick Il usual method
~ to throw line over the stack. mcns

bottom of the stack ON one side to the
bottom ON the other; add to this th"
average width uf the stack in feet. di.

Prcciaua Stones in America

The value of the precious stones pro-
duccd i'll the United States in 1908 was
$iI5,OG3, a decrease of SD, ,237 from tn,
value of 1907. These figures. which ar
in part furnished by the producers ana
in part based on estimates from the
quantity produced, are given by ID. B.
Stcrrett,o of the United States Geo
logical Survey, in an advance chapter
from Mineral resources of the United
States. calendar year 1905
They are as complete as it is possible
- obtain. but there are some gems for
which no accurate figures are at present
available. The general trade depression
appears not To have affected the precious
stones industry as much rs might have
been expected and the production of
certain gems, notably turquoise and
variscitc. WAS greatly increased over
that for 1907.
Turquoise and turquoise matrix
form the largest item in the list the
production being 29.5gO pounds, with
an estimated value of $l41.9 $50, from
Arizona. New Mexico, Nevada and
California. The 1907 value was S23.-
| SO
Tourmalinc was the next largest item
in point of value. the production being
3.3OO pounds. with an estimated value
of 800, 900. from California. Connecticut
and Maine. I'm 1907 the production was
=, 40 pounds. valued at $si. 1903. The
bulk of tbs 1908 production came from
California; 1t Mesa Grandc IL perfect
tOurmalinc weighing - carats after
cutting was obtained.
The third item in the list. sapphire,
showed a great decrease from 1901, the
production in 1903 having an estimated
value of SjS,3 ,391, rs against S22g. 800 i'll
the earlier year. The greater part of
| the 1908 output came from single mine
in Fergus county, Montana, but small
quantity was obtained in Morgan
county. Missouri.
The production Of diamonds from
Arkansas. although not n large item. is
of interest because this vas the first
locality in Norhh America where dia.
momds were found in place. The first
diamond WAS discovered August |. 1906.
about - miles southeast of Murfrccs.
lt0r0, Pike county. in peridOtitC. an
igneouf rock. The production from
this locality in 1907 had an estimated
value of $500. In 1908 the production
was 3G2 stones, with an estimated value
of 50. 100. II Is reported that over 200
diamonds have been found up to July /.
1909. Three cut stones were found to
bc brilliant and were valucd ut $50 to
$40 per carat.
\ parcel of rough, unsOrtcd stones
from the mine will be easily worth $40
pei carat. The possibilities Of cheap
mining in Arkansas are great, ns water
and timber are abundant near by and
coal should bc obtained ut reasonable
rates. Some diamonds are reported to
have been found also in u newly dis.
covered pcridoiitc area about i-2 miles
northeast of the original locality.
The imports Of precious stones in
1908 were - per cent less than in 1907
and 90 per cent less than in 1906. The
total value Of the loOS imports was $i3,
700 iOI. Of which $D.2i0, 225 was in unset
cut diamonds. - .Gaj. i0s in uncut din.
