Pray, officials of the reclamation

Measuring Hay In Stack.

Inquiry continues to be made re.
garding the manner Of measuring hay
in the stack. A law covering this
m after was enacted by the tenth as
sembly, and has been given newspaper
publicity from time to time, but it's
terms appear to have been forgotten
by applicants for information. Better
clip this out and preserve for refer
ence:
Four hundred twenty-five 422 cubic
feet shall constitute q ton of clean,
native, blue joint hay, after thirty
days and up to three months settle
ment in stack: but, when the same
shall have been over six months, three
hundred and forty (340) cubic feet
shall be considered q Ion.
As to all other kinds of hay, after
the came shall have settled in stack
from sixty days up, five hundred and
twelve (5l2) cubic feet shall constitute
q ton of alfalfa or rough slough erase,
after the same shall have been in the
stack thirty 80 J days and up to one
Il year. Four hundred and fifty (450
cubic feet shall constitute q ton OF
clean timothy and clover after the
same shall have been in the stack
thirty days, and up to one year.
Making measurements of hay ir
stack, the following is hereby made
the legal method of measurement, to-
wit: The width and length of the
stack shall be measured, and the dis.
tance from the ground against one
side of the stack to the ground agains,
the other side of the stack, directly
over and opposite, shall be taken ir
linear feet and inches, aud then the
width shall be subtracted from the
measurement over the stack, as above
indicated, the result divided by two,
and the result so Obtained multiplied
by the width, and the result thus OBJ
tanned multiplied by the length, which
will give the number of cubic feet con
tanned in the stack, and the tonnage
shall thereupon be determined by di
viding the total number of cubic fee
by the number of cubic feet allowed
under the provisions of this act for {
ton.

last session of the legislature this duty
was transferred to the department OF

of observing the occasion by the
schools ia left to the teachers and the
program may be carried out in any
