The length is given in the top line, the width in left-hand column of the above table—the height 
being taken at 10 feet. Thus, a crib 24 feet long, 71% feet wide and 10 feet high, will hold 800 
bushels of ear corn, reckoning 214 cubic feet to hold a bushel. If not 10 feet high, multiply by the 
given height and cut off right-hand figure. If above crib were only 7 feet high, it would hold 
800 x 7, equals 560 (0 bu., etc.). The same space will hold 144 times as much’ grain as ear corn. 
Thus, a crib that holds 800 bushels of ear corn will hold 800 x 144 equals 1440 bushels of grain. 
If the crib is not the same width at top and bottom, use the average width, obtained| by adding 
width at top to width at bottom and dividing the sum by’ two.
