EVE WEIGHT AND DEAD WEIGHT.

a knowledge Of the difference between the
live weight and dead weight orany animal, is
often timcs desirable. From the nature of
the case, au approximation 10 IL nnry be made.
Thorc are various ways of doing this--somc-
times by the girth and measure OF the length.
Tables have been made out, which were
published, several years ago, in the Farmer.
Many butchers ly the experience which they
have gained in slaughicring aud weighing
different kinds OF animals, can often Judge
with Surprising actdrlcy, Different breeds
vary very much in the comparative difference
between live and dead weigh.. 50.
Il must appear evident TO any one, that the
moro amount Of talow n bullock has TO fll
up the intcrstircs nt the frame, the less il the
difference between live weight aud doad
weight, and, by consequence, the les the tale
low the moro thcdiilcrcnce.
\ German agriCuturist has made some OBJ
scrvations on this subject aud publishes the
following rs the result;
"An OK, where he is entirely lean, and
therefore has no tallow, weighs oG0 pounds
