Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed, and not to be set on a candlestick?
Mark iv. 21.
3. A quantity that fills a bushel measure; as, a heap containing ten bushels of apples.
In the United States a large number of articles, bought and sold by the bushel, are measured by weighing, the number of pounds that make a bushel being determined by State law or by local custom. For some articles, as apples, potatoes, etc., heaped measure is required in measuring a bushel.
