has been stacked and the kind and
quality of thu hay and also according
to the character of the stack. With
alfalfa which has been stacked for
thirty days 1T is usual to compute an
eight-foot cube or 512 feet as q ton.
When the hay has been stacked five or
six months, usually Il 74-foot cube or
422 cubic feet is calculated for ton.
In old, fully settled stackslt is usual to
allow 7-foJt cube or 343 cubic feet
for ton; or sometimes in very large
stacks or III, VS. only GIG cubic feet or a
six-foot cub, are allowed.
The volume of NOW is readily, Sc
cured simply by multiplying together
the length, width and height. There
are different methods for measuring
hay in the stack, depending upon the
shape of the rick and also upon it's
size. With a long rick usual method
is to throw line over, the stack meas
uring the distance I'm feet; from the
bottom Of tile stack on one; side to the
bottom on the other; odd t8 this the:
average width Of the stack in feet, di-
vide this sum by four, which gives one
side of the square and multiply the
quotient by itself and this Product by
the length of the stack in feet. This
will give th1 number of cnbic feet in
the stack, which may be divided by
sig, 422 or 343 as may be decided upon,
in order to find the number OF tons.
For small, low ricks the rule is to
subtract the width from the over,
divide 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 es
tablished rule for the measuring round
stacks, but this one will approximate
the contents of q stack Of ordinary
conical form: Find the circumference
at or above the base or bulge at height
that will average the base from there
to the ground; find the vertical height
of the measured circumference from
the ground and the slant height from
the measured circumference to the top
of the stack, taking all measurements
in feet. 81 $500 y.
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 top. Hay in q round stack is
usually less compact than in a rec
tangular rick, hence greater number
of feet should be allowed for a ton
with Il we'll settled hay, probably 512
cubic feet. The rules given may also
be used in measuring any kind of hay,
straw, cane or kaffir fodder, but with
cane or kaftir only approximate results
may be secured by stack measurements,
because the fodder is apt to vary
greatly in weight according to the
moisture it contains. - Fieldand

MIR. TAFT IN MINNESOTA

When President Taft frankly aVOwS
in MINNESOTA that he believes party
solidarity" to be- much more import
amt than tho reduction of rates in one
or two schedules of the tariff no
further explanation is needed of his
other declaration that II am not here
to defend the Payne bill but to support
it,"
1t is as Il republican partisan, not
rs president of the United States, that
Mr.. Taft emphatically declares:
81 can say without hesitation that
this is the best tariff bill fine repub-
lican party has ever passed, and, there
fore. the best tariff bill tin " has been
passed at ALL" Having promised down
ward revision before his election and
having declared in his inaugural adj
dress that revenue should be the main
purpose of tariff legislation, Mr.. Taft
must know the Payne tariff is the worst
that ever was enacted. 1t breaks solemn
promises made to the people, it was not
framed to produce revenue, and it dis
appoints the expectations of large
majority of the American people, more
outrageously than any other legislation
ever enacted in Washington.
At Winona, in Mr.. Tawneys dis
trict Mr.. Taft spoke of the wooden
schedule of the Payne law as unfor-
;unately too high. He would have been
more frank with the Minnesota voters
fine had mentioned the long cottons
schedule in which there is not Il single
eduction from the Dingley rates and
II which the increases upon the Dingley
ates run all the way from - to 100 per
ent
Mr.. Taft said nothing at Winona
bout the trick by which the Ding
" tariff on wood pulp and print paper
yas doubled after special committee
{ the House. headed by Representative
lam, of Illinois, had thoroughly in
estigated the pulp and paper question

renee had fixed the rate at SD a ton,

lal result that the rate in the Payne

COLUMBIA TO HAVE
WIRELESS STATION
NEW SYSTEM TO BE INSTALLED
HERE DURING THE COMING
YEAR.

Columbia may have wireless tel
egraph station by the end of 1909 ac-
cording to the announcement made by
the United Wireless Telegraph Com
pany, which has just placed an order
for $50 complete sets of wireless In
struments, all of which are soon to be
installed at stations to be established
in cities east of the Mississippi river.
This is the larest order ever placed
for wireless, apparatus, and to manu-
facture, erect and put the stations into
operation, will require an expenditure
exceeding 100000. The majority OF
the stations will be of only one or two
k. W. capacity, with range of from
100 to 300 miles, but some, which are
intended for long distance service
will be from to 20 k. w. to transmit
wireless messages, under all condl-
lions of weather, for range OF from
500 to 1000 miles overland and from
/, 900 to 5000 miles over water.
The company proposes to erect sta.
lions not only in the stat, east OF the
Mississippi river, but also IN the west
ern states from the Pacific coast east
ward, until the complete an intercom-
municating wireless system covering
all important commercial mining and
manufacturing centres throughout the
entire United States. In as much as
nearly all of such cities are connected
with many smaller places by local tel
ephone systems, it is expected that
the United Wireless Telegraph Com
pany will be in position, by the end
of 1909, to receive and deliver mes
sages at several thousand points
where the wire companies at present
maintain offices.
The operating department. Of the
company is now organizing its forces
to begin the selection of locations for
these new stations. Contracts and
leases will be entered into and the adj
vance work completed, ready for the
installation of the apparatus as rapid
" as suitable sites can be. secured and
satisfactory arrangements made.
Tennessee towns and cities embrac-
ed in the plan are Nashville, Chatta-
nooga, Knoxville, Bristol, Columbia
GAINESVILLE, Jackson and Memphis.
The business to be handled is CONNER
cial and service between cities and
the distribution of press matter.

FIFTY Men IN
BURNING MINE
TERRIBLE ACCIDENT OCCURS AT
LICK BRANCH COAL FIELDS,
IN VIRGINIA.
RESCUE SEEMS TO BE IMPOSSIBLE
Parties Are Unable To Go Into The
Shaft Because Of the Fire
and Smoke.

ROANOKE, Va, Dec. 29.-Meager
news of a coal mine disaster at Lick
Branch, Va, are reported here tonight.
Between forty and sixty men are said
to have been imprisoned, and up to 9
o'clock this evening rescuing parties
had been unable to go into the shaft
because Of fire and smoke.
Lick Branch is the name Of coal
operation to the Pocahontas division
of the Norfolk & Western Railroad,
and is without commercial telegraph
facilities, hence no particulars have
been learned here.
A message received at 10 o'clock
tonight at the general offices of the
Norfolk G Western Railway, in this
city, says that fourteen men have been
taken out of the mine, and that four
of this number are dead. 1t is now
practically settled that fifty miners
were at work in the mine when the
explosion occurred, and that there
yet remain thirty-six in the death pit.
The rescue work is very slow. The
damage to the mine is reported to be
great. The cause of the explosion has
not yet been determined, as the res
cuers have not yet reached the seat
of the trouble.
