How to Measure Corn in the Crib.
After leveling the corn, multiply the length & breadth of the house together
and the product by the depth, which will give the cubic feet of the bulk of the
corn; then divide the last product by 19, & the quotient will be the number of
barrells of shelled corn in the house or crib. If there be a remainder after the
division it will be so many twelfths of a barrel of shelled corn over.
Example: 13 feet long
X 11 feet broad
132
x 6 feed deep
792 divided by 12---cubic feet
66 barrels shelled
6 bushels in a barrel
330 bushels shelled corn
