How to compute easily and correctly the contents of a Hopper.
Multiply the length by the breadth, in inches, and this product by one-third of the depth, measuring to the point.
Divide the last product by 2,150 (the number of cubic inches in a bushel) and the quotient thus obtained will be the contents of the hopper in bushels.
