Table 36, based on actual measurements of over 73 cords, gives the 
relation between number of trees, number of sticks, and the solid 
contents of a stacked cord.

If the middle diameter of the average 4-foot sticks in a stacked 
cord of wood is known, the solid contents of the cord can be readily 
ascertained, as it varies with the middle diameter of the average 
stick in the following manner:
