has measured much hay in the stack
has found convenient method OF
measuring to be the following: Take
one-third Of the cver-distance from

to the ground or the other-for the
square Of the stack This would give
the number Of cubic feet in each run

IL the oyer were thirty feet. one-third
Of this would be ten feet, which.
squared, would give 100 cubic feet as
the contents per running foot. II the

contain 5000 cubic feet. from which
figure the number Of tons could be
