THE MINING OUTLOOK

Edward Ryan. state Inspector of

stated to a representative Of the

Every county in Nevada, according
to Mr.. Ryan, is experiencing a
market revival in mining activity
and a number ct the old camps that
have been quiet or nearly deserted
for many years are giving indica-
tions If looming back with a
vengeance. Mr.. Ryan is almost
constantly travelling over the state,
visiting mines and prospects and no

HOW 10 MEASURE HAY

M
Measuring hay in the stacks is
a common method of selling hay
but the nethods and rules used are
very varied. Very little actual ex.
detrimental data has been obtained
upon the accuracy of the different
meth DIS.
The U. S. Department of Farm
Management has made some expert
ments and uses the following
method to find the. cubic f. ct con-
tent of the stack:
Measure the length of the stack
then the width, then with a tame.
measure over the stack, from the
ground on one side to the ground
On the other side, (This distance
is called the over),- multiply the
width by the over and this by 81
(thirty-one h%undredths of one)
This will give the area of the cross
section. Multiply this by the
length and get total cubic feet con,
tents. The factor, 81 is variable
according to the height, width and
fullness of the stack and may be
as low as pa in low stacks or as
much as .38 in higa stacks.
The number of cubic feet to al.
low for n ton varies with the
kind If hay and length of time il
has stood in the stack, and is usual.

custom IS. 8. Nuckols, Colorado
