Hay Measuring
BY CLYDE w. YOUNG
Mathematics Department of Colo
radO Agricultural College


AT this time of year a great many
stacks of hay are bought and sold in
Colorado. Usually one rule is fol-
lowed in each locality irrespective of
the shape of the stack. AS much as
two and a half tons can be lost or
gained by the use of the wrong rule
! on an average sized stack of eleven
end fourth tons.
! A stack of hay 16 feet wide, SO
feet long and 40 feet over, solved by
rules 1. 2 and 3, as given below,
varies as to number of cubic feet as
follows: by rule 1, $500 cubic feet;
by rule 2, 6912 cubic feet: by rule g.
1856 cubic feet.
Do not decide as to which rule
you will use until you have measured
your stack. Then if the width of the
stack is from one-third to one-half
of the over, use rule 1. which is as
follows:
Rule L: One fourth OF the over,
times the width, times the length,
divided by SIP.
Example: Forty divided by four
times 16. times SO, equals 576O cubic
feet: devided by 512, equals Tx
tons,
If the width Of the stack is more
than one-half of the over, use rule
2, which is as follows:
Rule 2: The over less the width.
Divide the result by 2 and multiply
this result by the width and then
by the length and divide by 512
Using same example as in rule l:
forty. minus 16. equals "a; divided
by 2. equals 12. times 16. times SO,
equals 6912 cubic feet; divided by
512, equals, 131a tons.
If the width of the stack is less
than one-third of the over use rule
S. which is sometimes called the gov
ernment rule and is as follows: Add
the width and the over. Divide the
result by four. Multiply this result
by itself; then multiply this by the
length and divide by 512.
Using the previous example: 40
plus 16. equals Sc, divided by a..
equals IA. times IA, equals 1876,
times SO. divided by 512 equals Ia
and twenty-five thirty-seconds of a
ton.
For alfalfa hay stacked 80 days
use $50 cubic feet to the ton; stacked
60 days. $40 cubic feet; stacked 80
days. 512 cubic feet; stacked 100
days, 4s5 cubic feet; hay measured
in the spring. 450 cubic feet to the
ton.
These rules should be applied to
each stack. They will save money
for both buyer and seller. Post them
where you can use them.
