MEASUREMENT OF HAY, 



NOTE. The principle in this rule is the same as in 

 interest dividing the price by two gives us the price of 

 half a ton, or 1000 Ibs. ; and pointing off three figures to 

 the right is dividing by 1000. 



A truss of hay, new, is 60 Ibs. ; old, 56 Ibs. ; straw, 40 Ibs. 



A load of hay is 36 trusses. 



A bale of hay is 300 Ibs.
