PROGRESSIVE BEEF CATTLE RAISING 



such other feeds as straw, corn stalks, and silage. In 

 order to calculate this it is desirable for him to know 

 how to determine the number of tons of hay in the 

 stack. The ordinary method of determining this is first 

 to find the volume of the stack in cubic feet and then to 



Peaked stack Arerage Btack. Full, stack

To determine contents of hay stack multiply length by 

 width by over to obtain cubic feet and divide by the num- 

 ber indicated above in order to obtain the number tons.
