In measuring hay, there are several
different practices followed in different
portions of the country. This should
W determined, then, to some extent
by the practices which are followed
in your portion of the State.
The first thing to do is to determine
the nuniWr of cubic-feet in the stack
or mow. This can be done by measur-
ing the length of the stack, then the
width, then with a tape measure from
the ground on one side to the ground
the other. (This distance
called the "over.") Multiply the
width by the "over" and this by .30
which wlil give the cross-sedion.
Multiply this product by the length,
which will give the total number of
cubic fed.
The factor .St) is variable, depend-
ing on the height, width and fullness
of the stack. In low stacks it may be
as high as .40.

master. So one was surprised any
longer, for so many things had been
done and well done by tW officer that
the ability of the man was an estab-
lished fad by now.
These statements may seem surpris-
ing but it was learned that Lieut. Craig,
having Wen raised in I*iWral, received,
nevertheless, a liWral education. The
Kansas tornado has Wen in the arniv
for two year* now, having served in the
regulars, the 2<>th and 43nd infantries.
He has made good as horseman, sol-
dier, sharp-shooter and student of the
cutting and the condition when stored.
It will range from less than 400 to over
500 cubic feet per ton. It is customary
in many places to take 4S0 cubic feet
as one ton of hay.- M. A. Beeson,

For Croup
"Chamberlain's Cough Remedy Is
splendid for croup," writes Mrs. Ed-
ward Hiissett, Frankfort, N. Y. "My
children have been quickly relieved of
attacks of this dreadful complaint by
its use." This remedy contains no
opium or other narcotic, and may be
given to a child as confidently as to an
ndult.
