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.
