2. If the sticks in the pile of wood of the dimensions stated in 

 problem 1, are sawed into pieces 18 inches in length, how many cords of 

 stovewood will there be? 



3. If the wood sawed from the pile given in problem 1 are ranked 

 in a rectangular pile 4 feet high, what will be the length of the pile? 



4. What will be the cost of a pile of wood consisting of three 

 ranks, of 16-inch sticks, if the 3 ranks are in the form of a rectangular 

 solid 18 feet long, 4 feet wide and 5 feet high @ $2.25 per cord? 



5. A pile of wood consists of 16 ranks each 4 feet high and 100 

 feet long; the cost of cutting, splitting and ranking was 55c per cord; 

 the cost of hauling was 65c per cord ; the price received was $2.25 per

Weight of Hay in Mows and Stacks. 



The weight of hay may be determined approximately. 

 Mows and stacks over 10 feet high will weigh on an average 

 about as follows : 



Timothy hay 1 ton for each 500 cubic feet. 

 Clover hay 1 ton for each 600 cubic feet. 



Piles of hay less than 10 feet in height will require 700 to 

 800 cubic feet per ton. 



PROBLEMS. 



1. A barn has a mow 40 feet by 16 feet, and is filled with timothy 

 hay to a uniform height of 17 feet; how many tons does it contain? 

 How many bales of hay will it make, if the average weight of the bales 

 is 215 pounds each? What will 13 of these bales be worth at $17.40 

 per ton? 



2. A stack of clover hay was 12 feet wide and 30 feet long; the 

 top was removed so that the shape of the stack was that of a rectangular 

 solid. The hay was baled and the combined weight of the bales was 

 8 Vis tons. What was the height of the stack? 



3. How many bales of clover did this stack in problem 2 make, if 

 the average weight of the bales was 215 pounds each? 



4. If a bale of hay contains 20 cubic feet and weighs 225 pounds, 

 how many cubic feet of bailed hay will be required to make a ton? 



5. If a ton of timothy hay contains 500 cubic feet, how many cubic 

 feet of space will this ton occupy after it is baled into bales of 20 cubic 

 ft. each, weighing 220 pounds per bale? 



6. A mow is 40 feet long, 20 feet wide, and 29 feet high ; it is put 

 into bales that weigh 11 pounds to the cubic foot; find the difference
