DtM sir: I notice In your Issue
of 6th Inst, you give a rule for
measuring hay in stack, and as this
will likely be read by a great many
people who will have occasion to use
such a rule, 1 thought it a good idea

"Lincoln hits been dubbed 'the
Holy City' but Its mayor has
been discovert d, by an investi
gation under the Albert law, to
be the landlord of an assignation
house."
The Herald begs to remind the Ord
Journal, from which the above is
iiuoled. that Lincoln has not been
ciilledfihe "Holy City" so much since
going Iwck to booze In the hope of
i tting more "bis".
Want Alliance is going after bish
oprics, The Herald r's s to move
that Hp invitation be t KB tided Rt.
dev. George Allen Bt I bt r. bishop
of K.aincy diocese of the Protestant
Episcopal church, to make this city
nil episcopal residence. To MM
Bishop Needier to our it i.eiiship
would be an acquisition that would,
we brieve, delight the people of
Allium c, of all denominations, as we1
as those who are members of no
church who know the bishop's gen

stack.
1 Your rule is to multiply the lengrth
by the width, and this by one-third
of the overthrow.
Take a stack, ay 21 ft wide and
42 ft. over. You would divide the
overthrow by three, giving yon a
stack 14 ft. high and 14 ft. wide at
I the top. and 24 ft. wide at the bot
tom, so you see you could not get
the number of Bquare feet by mul
tiplying UM width by one-third of the
overthrow. It seems to me that a
better rule and the one most gener
ally used in these parts would be
: to add the width and overthrow and
divide by four, and multiply the quo
tient by itself and tin n bv the length
or the -tack.
There is considerable argument as
I to whether the above rule or the
following Is DOrreci. I urn sure 1 do
no: know:
Subtract the width Tram the over
throw, divide by two, multiply by
width aad then by length.
It Is a good idea to have an un
derstanding when a trade Is made
as to which rule Is to be used.
