Rule for ascertaining The ,reightof Cat.
tie Sheep and Hogs.-In the Cattle Kee
1cr's Guide" there is short and easy
method given TO find the weight Of live
stock, which will be of considerable utilil
ty to breeders. Let tho animal stand
square, put a string just behind the shouI-
der blade; then put the string on the tail
so as To form a plumb line with the him
der part of the huliocks; direct it along the
oS;:. "a. L" The fore part Of the shouldrr-blad
| tai,a the dimensions on lie rule as before,
which is rhe length, and work the figures
in The following manner; girhG It. A in,
length ) Il. g.. which multiplied together
make 334 square superficial feet; that a.
gain multiplied by 23 (,hc number Of
pounds allowed to each superficial foot,
for an animal measuring noI less than five
nor over eight feet in girlh) makes 766 lbs:
Where the animal measures less Than 8
aud over feet in girlh, is the number Of
pounds To each superficial foot. Again,
suppose pic or any small beast should
measure , feet in girlh and 2 feel long
the back, which multiplied by II, the
! number of pounds allowed for each square
foot, when the measurement is less than
three feet in girth, makes 44 lbs. Sup
pnse again. Il calf, sheep or hog, s;Iuuid
measure 4 Fl. 6 in. in gl!lh, aud 3 II. 9 in.
IN length, which multiplied together make
lGi feet, that multiplied by lG, the num-
her of pounds allowed TO animals measur-
ing less than five feet and more than three
in erilh, makes 26S lbs. The weight OF
cai'le, sheep and hogs may be rs exactly
taken This way. as is at all necessary for
any computation or valuation of stock,
and will answer exactly ~ the four quar-
lers sinking the olla: which every man if
he knows a few of the first rules OF arith-
