the length of time the hay has been
stacked and the kind and quality of
the hay, and also according to the
character Of the stack. With alfalfa
or prairie hay which has been stacked
for thirty days it is usual to compute
an eight-foot cube or 5l2 cubic feet
as ton. When the hay has been
stacked five or six months, usually a
75foot cube, or 422 cubic feet is cal
culated for ton. In old stacks
which have been stacked for year OF
more 7-foot cube, or 343 cubic feet
is allowed for a ton. There are diff
ferent methods of measuring stacks,
depending upon the shape of the
stock and also upon its size. For q
long stack or rick the usual method
il to throw line over the stack,
measuring the distance over the stack
from the bottom on one side TO the
bottom o. the other; add to this the
average width of the stack, divide the
sum by fcuI (Which equals one side
of the sqIiare) and multiply the quo
tient by itself and this product by
the length of the stack This will
give you the number of cubic feet in
the stack, which may be divided by
512,422 or 343, in order TO find the
number of tons. For small, low ricks,
the rule is to subtract the width from
the "over," divide by 2, 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 established rule for measuring
round stacks, but this one will ap-
proximate the contents of stack of
the ordinary comical form. "Find the
circumference at or above the base
of bulge at a height .hat will aver.
age the base from there to the ground
find the vertical height of the meas
ured circumference from the ground
and the slant height from the circum-
ference to the top of the stack. Null
tlply the circumference by itself and
divide by 100 and multiply by 8, then
multiply the result by the height of
the base plus one-third of the slant,
height of the top" The hay in a
round stack is necessarily less COM
pact than in a rectangular stack,
hence greater number of feet should
be allowed for a ton, with well-set-
tied hay probably 512 cubic feet. The
rules given may also be used for
any kind of hay, cane, or
kafir-fodder in the stack. However,
for cane or kafir-fodder only approx
innate results can be procured by
stack measurements, because the fod-
der is apt to vary greatly in weight
according to the moisture which it
contains.

with decision of a scant majority

With decision of scant majority
-four to three-the legality of the
increase in valuations made by the
state tax commission will still be in
doubt so far as the general run of
people is concerned. AT any rate the
decision upsets Denver and is going
cause no end of trouble in re-appor-
tioning tax schedules. Again, how is
the increase going to be made? I'm
possible to make general increase
as the law will not permit dollar
to be assessed for more tnan a dol

per cent to its value. We are glad

ANSWERS TO QUERIES
HAY IN THE STACK

BY Capt. James T. Smith, in Denver
News
w. B., Lafayette, Colo.-Please
give me the correct rule for measur-
ing alfalfa hay in the stack? Answer:
There is no correct rule for measur-
ing hay in the stack. The govern
ment of the United States does not
permit that practice where it can be
avoided. If there is no other way to
measure the contents of the stack this
will do: The method followed by the
government does not pretend to ac-
curacy, and is used only where it is
not feasible to weigh the hay or al
falfa. The rules for measuring hay
in the stack will vary according to

PROCEDURE IN GILA.

A new way of taking jurisdiction
has been instituted in the interior
courts of. Gila county. The other
day justice of the peace at Miami,
before whom the case of delinquent
had been brought, called upon broth
er justice who had taken judicial
cognizance of the same offense to
persuade him to dismiss the action.
The motion to dismiss was denied,
whereupon the visiting justice drew
a gun and took a shot at the recalci-
trant brother justice. Attention has
thus been diverted from the case of
tie original offender to the two courts
wbe,e his guilt or innocence was TO
b. de,C mined.

good deal of risk to the innocent by
stander, for the aim of justice is
not always unerring however its judg-
ment or earnest its intentions. The
tossing of coin or the drawing of
straws is safer and fully as satisfac-
tory. 1t is less expensive, also. In
these days when the remuneration of
justice of the peace is fixed salary
and not a large one, there should
not be laid upon him the additional
burden of an arsenal wherewith to
reinforce his rulings or preliminary
motions of one sort and another
Arizona Republican.

AL Mccoy, Unknown, Puts George
Chip Out With One Punch.

A new star has flashed in the mid
dleweight armament.
AL Mccoy of Brooklyn is the gent
designated, and his claim is based
on knockout over George Chip, the
sturdy Greek, in New York last night.
McCoy's victory, coming after a.
minute and forty seconds of work in
the first round, is the biggest upset
the ring dope has suffered for some
time. Chip was looked on as unbeat-
able among the middleweights, and
had knocked out Frank Klaus twice,
in addition to cleaning up all other
aspirants but Jimmy Clabby.
Outside of Brooklyn Mccoy is un-
known and the fight was looked on as
a set-up for the Scranton miner. He
forced the fighting and was follow
ing Mccoy around the ring when the
latter landed his first and only blow.
It was a terrific left hook to the chin
and Chip was lifted clear off his feet.
His head hit the. canvas first and he
was dazed for several minutes.
The fight was too short for Mccoy

Seaton Refuses to Go to Brooklyn
Chifeds May Lose Hendrix.

The final resting place of Tom Sea-
ton, Federal League pitcher, still is up
in the air. President Gilmore is trying
to maintain peace in his organization
and please both Owner Weeghman
of the Chifeds and President Ward of
Brooklyn.
Ward and Manager Bradley of the
Tip Tops conferred with Seaton and
Tinker at Gulfport yesterday, but
Tom turned a deaf ear to their plead
ings and declared he was satisfied to
remain a member of the local aggre-
cation.
All of which means that the Wards,
who were promised Seaton when they
bought into the league, must be COM
pensated from the ranks of the Chi
feds. Pressure is being brought to
bear on Claude Hendrix to induce him
to go to Brooklyn, it being explained
that man may retain his American
citizenship and live in that city.
Tinker, of course, is not enthusiast
tic over losing either of his crack
pitchers. With those two right-hand
veterans and AID Brennan he has a
nucleus for the best staff in the
league and one that any major league
crew would envy.
President Baker of the PhiIs has al
so added to the muddle by declaring
that his club will start injunction pro-
ceedings against Seaton as soon as
he is definitely awarded to one of the
teams. He will endeavor to have the
pitcher restrained from working in a
Federal uniform. This is in retaliation
for the Federal League suit against
Catcher Bill Killifer, which is still
hanging fire, the Judge having decid-
ed to wait for more briefs before
handing down an opinion.
