Quart. 



Pint. 



Verification of the Bushel measures. 



The weight of the bushel measure, together with the 

 80 lbs. of water it should contain, was about 250 lbs. and as 

 I could find no balance capable of determining so large a 

 weight with sufficient accuracy, I was under the necessity of 

 constructing one for this express purpose.
