44 USEFUL TABLES 



LIQUID MEASURE 



4 gills (gi.) = 1 pint pt. 



2 pints =1 quart qt. 



4 quarts = 1 gallon gal. 



31* gallons =1 barrel bbl. 



2 barrels, or 63 gallons , = 1 hogshead hhd. 



1 hhd. = 2 bbl. = 63 gal. = 252 qt. = 504 pt. = 2,016 gi. 

 The U. S. gallon contains 231 cu. in. = .134 cu. ft., nearly, 

 or 1 cu. ft. contains 7.481 gal. 



When water is at its maximum density, 1 cu. ft. weighs 

 62.425 Ib. and 1 gal. weighs 8.345 Ib. 



For approximations, 1 cu. ft. of water is considered equal 

 to 7i gal., and 1 gal. as weighing 8$ Ib. 



The British imperial gallon, both liquid and dry, contains 

 277.463 cu. in. = .16057 cu. ft., and is equivalent to the volume 

 of 10 Ib. of pure water at 62 F. To reduce British to U. S. 

 liquid gallons, multiply by 1.2. Conversely, to convert U. S. 

 into British liquid gallons, divide by 1.2; or, increase the 

 number of gallons $.

The term legal tender is applied to money that may be 

 legally offered in payment of debts. All gold coins are legal 

 tender for their face value to any amount, provided their 

 weight has not diminished more than ifor. Silver dollars also 

 are legal tender to any amount, but silver coins of a lower 

 denomination than $1 are legal tender only for sums not 

 exceeding $10. Nickel and copper coins are legal tender for 

 sums not exceeding 25c.
