52 MEASUREMENT OF HAY. 



As nearly as can be ascertained, 10 cubic yards of aver- 

 age meadow hay, in windrows, make a ton. 



When well settled in mows or stacks, 5 cubic yards 

 make a ton. 



When taken out of mows or old stacks, and loaded on 

 wagons, 8 cubic yards make a ton. 



Eleven or twelve cubic yards of clover, when dry, make 

 a ton. 



To find the number of tons of meadow hay raked into 

 windrows. 



RULE. Multiply the length of the windrow in yards by 

 the width in yards, and that product by the height in yards, 

 and divide by 10; the quotient will be the number of tons 

 in the windrow. 



EXAMPLE. How many tons of hay in a windrow 40 yards 

 long by 2 wide and 2 high ? 



SOLUTION. 40 x 2 x 2=160-^10=16. Ans. 



To find the number of tons of hay in a mow. 



RULE. Multiply the length in yards by the height in 

 yards, and that by the width in yards, and divide the pro- 

 duct by 5 ; the quotient will be the number of tons. 



EXAMPLE. How many tons of well-settled hay in a mow 

 10 yards long by 6 wide and 8 high ? 



SOLUTION. 10 x 6 x 8=480-7-5=96 tons. Ans.
