Oats

run

from 38 to 42 Ibs, the bushel.

As a rough

rule

three cub.

feet

of hay are equivalent to a ration.

To calculate number

of tons in a

stack

(a)

When

the

stack is

rectangular in

plan,

multiplybreadth by lengths by iteight (in yards),

and divide by 12 for hayand 17 for straw.

[N.B.—”

Height” means

the

distance

from the

bottom

to the caves, plus one-third the

distance

from eaves to apex.3

(is)

When the stack

is circular

iii

plan,multiply

circumference of base by

half

the

radius, by heighit,and

divide as

explained

above ; the “height” beingas for a

rectangular

stack.

If

the eaves

overhang

considerably,

so that

the

length

of

the

sloping

thatch

equals

the diameter

of

the

base,

the

“height”

may be taken as the full

altitude

of

the

stack.

JVater.—Full daily allowaRce on land, 5 gallons per man and
