RULES FOR MEASURING HAY


For tho benefit OF our readers the

Place the end OF the tape on the
ground near the center. Measure

Measure the width. (if one end In
narrower than the other measure
both ends, add and divide by 81
Measure the length along the ground
subtract the width from tho over
and divide the remainder by which
win give the height OF the stack

Multiply the width by the height
by the length and divide result by
bi2, which will give the number OF
