TO MEASURE COAL IN BIN. 



A soliil cubii; foot of anlhrafitc coal 

 weighs about ninety-three pounds. AVhen 

 broken for use it weighs about fifty- 

 four pounds. Bituminous coal, when 

 broken up for use, weighs about fifty 

 pounds. The consequent rule for the ap- 

 proximate measurement of coal in a bin 

 or box is to multiply the length in feet 

 by the height in feet, and again by the 

 breadth in feet, and this result by fifty- 

 four for anthracite coal, or by fifty for 

 bituminous coal. The result will equal 

 the number of pounds; and to find the 

 cumber of tons, divide by 2,000.

 just finished a propagating house 16x16
