Rules for Measuring Hay in Stack 
Rule —Take the width from the over, 
then divide by 2; then multiply by the 
width and length of the stack and the 
result will be the number of cubic feet 
in the stack. Divide the number of cubic 
feet in the stack by 512, or, if the stack 
is well settled divide by 422.

To Measure Ear Corn in Crib 
Find the length, breadth and depth of 
the body of the corn in feet and multiply 
these three dimensions together, then 
multiply this product by .63. This will 
give the heaped bushels of ears. Some¬ 
times 1% bushels of ears are allowed for 
a bushel of shelled corn, and sometimes 
2 bushels, the amount depending upon 
the shape of the ear, the size of the cob, 
etc.

RULE—Multiply the distance in feet 
between rows by the distance the plants 
are apart in the rows, and the product 
will be the number of square feet for 
each plant or hill; which divided into 
number of square feet (43,560), will give 
the number of plants to the acre.
