TABLE IX. How TO ESTIMATE AMOUNT OF GRAIN IN BINS AND HAT IN 



Mow OR STACK. 



SMALL GRAIN AND SHELLED CORN. 



Length multiplied by width multiplied by average depth in feet gives the cubic 

 feet of grain. This multiplied by 8 divided by 10 equals the bushels. 



Example : A bin of wheat is 8 feet wide by 16 feet long and the average depth of 

 wheat is 6 feet. 



8X16X6 X 8 =614 



FOR BUSHELS OF EAR CORN. 



Multiply the cubic feet occupied by ear corn by 4 and divide by 10. 



FOR TONS OP HAY. 



If hay has stood for 60 days or more and mow or stack is deep, divide cubic con- 

 tents in feet by 400. For shallow mows or stacks that have stood only 30 days or 

 less, divide by 600. For intermediate conditions, divide by 500 more or less, depending 

 on conditions. The cubic feet in a stack may be obtained as follows: Subtract the 

 width from the over (the "over" is the distance from the ground on one side over the 

 stack to the ground on the other side), divide by the height, then multiply successively 

 by the over, the width the length, and by .225,
