  Bushel \Bush"el\ (b[.u]sh"[e^]l), n. [OE. buschel, boischel, OF.
     boissel, bussel, boistel, F. boisseau, LL. bustellus; dim. of
     bustia, buxida (OF. boiste), fr. pyxida, acc. of L. pyxis
     box, Gr. pyxi`s. Cf. Box.]
     1. A dry measure, containing four pecks, eight gallons, or
        thirty-two quarts.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     Note: The Winchester bushel, formerly used in England,
           contained 2150.42 cubic inches, being the volume of a
           cylinder 181/2 inches in internal diameter and eight
           inches in depth. The standard bushel measures, prepared
           by the United States Government and distributed to the
           States, hold each 77.6274 pounds of distilled water, at
           39.8[deg] Fahr. and 30 inches atmospheric pressure,
           being the equivalent of the Winchester bushel. The
           imperial bushel now in use in England is larger than
           the Winchester bushel, containing 2218.2 cubic inches,
           or 80 pounds of water at 62[deg] Fahr.
           [1913 Webster]
  
     2. A vessel of the capacity of a bushel, used in measuring; a
        bushel measure.
        [1913 Webster]
  
              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.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     3. A quantity that fills a bushel measure; as, a heap
        containing ten bushels of apples.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     Note: 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.
           [1913 Webster]
  
     4. A large indefinite quantity. [Colloq.]
        [1913 Webster]
  
              The worthies of antiquity bought the rarest pictures

        [1913 Webster]
