THE LEGAL METHOD OF MAS
URING HAY

Because of great deal of confusion
over the state relative to the legal
method of measuring hay in the
stack, which has prompted numerous
inquiries of the faculty Of the state
agricultural college, the press bureau
of the institution has sent out copies
Of the statute covering the matter.
The law is as follows:
That from and after the passage
of this law, unless otherwise agreed
to between the contracting parties,
the following shall constitute the le-
gal measurement for hay in stacks in
the state Of Montana:
Four hundred twenty-five (422) Gu
bic feet shall constitute 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 in
the stack, three hundred and forty
(34O) cubic feet shall be considered
4 ton.
As to all other kinds of hay, after
the same shall have settled in stack
from sixty days up, five hundred and
twelve (512) cubic feet shall consti-
tute ton of alfalfa or rough slough
grss, after the same shall have been
in the stack thirty (30) days and up
to one (D year. Four hundred and
fifty (45O) cubic feet shall constitute
a 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 in
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
against the other side of the stack,
directly over and opposite, shall be
taken in linear feet and inches, and
then the width shall be substracted
from the measurement over the stack,
as above indicated, the result divided
by two, and the result 80 obtained
multiplied by the width. and the re-
suit thus obtained multiplied by the
length, which will give the number of
cubic feet contained in the stack, and
the tonnage shall thereupon be de-
termined by dividing the total num-
Der of cubic feet by the number Of
cubic feet allowed under the provi.
sions of the act for a ton.

mate sent out by DR.. E. H. Riley Of
Bozeman, q member Of the state stall
lion registration board. The board
inspects stations previous to their
registration for breeding purposes.
DR.. Riley believes that 200 registered
stations have been brought into the
state this year.
The embargo on horses has been
lifted by the French president and be-
tween the dates Of December /, 1916,
and March Is, 1917, the animals will
be allowed to leave France, Fred Hol-
bert Of the Holbert Horse importing
company of Great Falls, is now in
France awaiting the lifting of the en-
barge. The Holbert company has i'm
ported at least so stations this year.
"Breed thoroughbreds," is the advice
DR.. Riley gives to Montana farmers
if they wish to improve their stock to
the maximum of efficiency. The in
fiuence of a thoroughbred sire on a
farm will make itself noticeable at
eight or ten years, so that the stand
ard of all the stock will be effectively
raised.
On January l, 1915, there were $685.
900 farm horses in Montana. A year
later there were 100000 and today it
is believed there are 100000. The
pure bred is fast supplanting the cay
use for farm use.
Precaution is taken to prevent COM
municable diseases and thus increase
the efficiency Of animals used for
breeding purposes. With continu-
ton of the present demand of Mon
tana for pure bred strains the state
will soon become recognized as fore
most breeding station, the Bozeman
expert asserts.
