HANDY REFERENCES 
LUMBER MEASURE:— 
To find the contents of boards, in square feet, multiply the length (in feet), by 
the width ae inches), and divide the product by jE 
CORD WOOD 
A cord of ae is a pile 4 feet wide, 4 feet high and 8 feet long, and contains 
(4x4x8) 128 cubic feet. 
LAND MEASURE:— 
A tract of land 1 mile square, containing 640 acres is called a section. The 
United States is divided by north and south lines 6 miles apart, into strips called 
Ranges; these are again divided by east and west lines, 6 miles apart into squares 
of 36 square miles, called Townships. 
TO FIND THE NUMBER OF ACRES IN A TRACT OF LAND :— 
Divide the number of square rods by 160. 
AN ACRE OF LAND 
contains 43,560 square feet or 160 square rods. 
CUBIC CONTENTS OF RECTANGULAR BUILDINGS OR BINS 
may be determined by multiplying the length x width x height. 
TO FIND NUMBER OF BUSHELS IN GRANARIES AND WAGON-BEDS :— 
Multiply the number of cubic feet by .8 (eight-tenths). 
CORN CRIBS :— 
Corn on the ear, of good quality, measured when settled, will require 244 cubic 
feet to the bushel. 
HAY :— 
The quantity of hay in a mow or stack can only be approximately determined by 
measurement. Well settled timothy hay takes about 350 cubic feet to make a ton; 
partly settled from 400 to 450 cubic feet. Round Stack: To determine the number 
of cubic feet, multiply the square of the average circumference by the average 
height and divide by .09; then divide by 350 if well settled or 400 or 450 if partly 
settled. Oblong Stack: Multiply the average length x width x height and divide 
by 400.
