Show Measuring Hay Stack A method given by one authority is to divide the cubical contents of the mow by about 500 if the hay is not well settled, or by 450 to 4G0 if it is well packed. A formula for measuring the cubical contents, recently re-cently devised by the agricultural extension service of the University of Nevada, is as follows: Multiply the height of the stack from the ground, over the top and down the other side, by .04. Multiply the circumference cir-cumference of the stack by .012. Subtract this second result from the first one and multiply the result re-sult thus obtained by the circumference circum-ference squared, which gives the number of cubic feet In the stack. |
