ARMY WAGON (INSIDE MEASUREMENT). Length { 9½ ft. at bottom } {10 " " top }; width, 3 ft. 4 in.; depth, 1 ft. 9 in. TO DETERMINE THE QUANTITY OF GRAIN OR HAY. =Corn.=--Two cubic feet of sound dry corn in the ear will make one bushel of shelled corn. To determine the number of bushels of shelled corn in a crib of corn in the ear, multiply together the interior length, breadth, and height of the crib in feet, and divide by 2. =Oats.=--A nose-bag will contain about 10 pounds of good oats. A cubic foot of good oats weighs about 25¾ pounds. To determine, approximately, the number of bushels of oats in a bin, multiply the length, breadth, and height in feet together, and multiply the result by O.8047. To determine the number of bushels a wagon will contain, apply the same rule. =Hay.= Hay loose allow 5 pounds to a cubic foot Hay in stack " 8 " " " " " Hay baled " 11 " " " " " Wagon-load of stack hay " 450 to 500 cubic feet to a ton " " " new-mown hay " 700 cubic feet to a ton =Straw.=--Allow 10 to 12 pounds to a cubic foot.
