EXERCISE 6. To CALCULATE THE AMOUNT OF HAY IN A Mow 



RULE: Multiply the figures representing the length and the width of 

 the mow in feet, and this product by the average height of hay in the mow. 

 In case of new mixed hay, timothy hay, or only partly filled mows, divide the 

 product by 450. If old and well-packed hay, divide by 400. The quotient 

 will. give the approximate number of tons of hay in the mow. 



Problem 1 : A mow 40 x 36 feet is filled 24 feet deep with newly harvested 

 hay, how many tons are there in the mow? 



Problem 2: How many tons of hay in a mow 36 x 52 feet, filled 28 feet 

 high with old, well-packed hay?
