SOLID MEASURE, 



TO FIND THE NUMBER OF CUBIC YARDS, 4c. 

 IN DUNGHILLS, 



See Rule for the Measuring of Broken Metal, only, in- 

 stead of dividing by 16, as stated in that Rule, for tons, 

 divide by 27 for the cubic yards. 



Ex. Required the number of cubic yards in a dunghill 

 30 yards 2 feet long, 18 feet broad, and 2 feet 9 inches deep ? 

 30 yards 2 feet equal to 92 feet. 



or 92 ft. equal to 3104 inches. 

 18 ft. 216 inches. 



6624 

 1104 



2208 



238464 

 2 ft. 9 in. = 33 inches. 



3312 715392 



1242 715392 



27)4554 1728)7869312 



Answer, 168 yds. 18 ft. 27)4554 



Answer, 168 yds. 18 ft. 



To find the Contents of the above Example, or that of 

 any other from the Table : Look for the length in the 

 left hand column, the breadth and depth in one of the 

 columns right of it ; then under this, and in the same line 

 with the length, are the contents in cubic yards, &c. 



Thus, under 18 feet broad, and two feet 9 inches Y. r. i. 



deep, and in the same line with 20 yards, are . 110 



And under 18 feet broad, and 2 feet 9 inches, and 



in the same line with 10 yards, are . 55 



Again, under 18 feet, and 2 feet 9 inches, and in 



the same line with 2 feet, are . . . . 3 18 



Answer, as before, 168 18
