TO FIND THE WEIGHT OF HAY IN KICKS 

 OF AN OBLONG FOEM. 



RULE. To the height from the ground to the eaves 

 add one-half the perpendicular height of the top for the 

 mean height (taking all the dimensions in feet) ; then 

 multiply the mean height by the breadth, and their pro- 

 duct by the length ; which last product, divided by 27, 

 will give the number of cubic yards in the rick ; these, 

 multiplied by 7, will give the number of stones, at 7 stones 

 per cubic yard. 



Ex. Required the number of stones in an oblong rick 

 45 feet long, mean height. 11 feet, and 12 feet broad : 



11 

 12 



132 

 45 



660 



528 



27)5940(220 



7 



1540 stones. 



To find the Weight from the Table: Look for the 

 length in the left-hand column, on the right of it for the 

 breadth and height, opposite to which in the next column 

 you will find the weight.
