MEASURING HAY AND CORN Hay is often sold in the mow or stack where the weight has to be estimated. For this purpose 400 cubic feet of hay is considered' a ton. The actual weight of 400 cubic feet of hay will vary according to the quality of the hay, time 399 of cutting, position in mow, etc. For making an estimate in a given case multiply together the length, breadth and height of the mow or stack in feet and divide the product by 400. The quotient will be the number of tons. Corn is measured by the following rule: • A heaped bushel contains 2,748 cubic inches. To find the number of bushels of corn in a crib it is therefore necessary merely to multiply together the length; width and height in inches and divide the product by 2,748. "IBe number of bushels of shelled corn will be two-thirds of the quotient If the sides of the crib are slanting, it will be necessary to multiply together onehalf the sum of the top and bottom widths with the height and length. The legal weight of a bushel of shelled corn in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland and Virginia is 56 pounds. In Pennsylvania, Virginia and Maryland 32 pounds constitute a bushel of oats; in New Jersey, 30 pounds. A bushel of wheat is placed at 60 pounds by most of the states of the Union.
