Facts about Cattle.

IT is fact that all domestic animals can be
improved in size and value. One hundred and
fifty years ago, the avarage weight of cattle at
the Smith6eld Market was not over $40 pounds,
and that Of the sheep 28 pounds. Now, the
average weight Of tue former is over 800 lbs.
and of the latter 80 poundu.
TIE average weight Of cattle, properly termed
beeyes, in the New York market, is about TOO
pounds, and sheep 80 pounds.
The average live weight of the heaviest
drove of beeves of 100 in number ever brought
to this market, was 2O67 pounds, weighed
from dry feeding in Illinois, last spring.
The mode of selling cattle in New York, is al
so much per pound for the estimated weight Of
meat contained in the four quarters. The es-
tln.ation is made upon the live weight Of cattle
rs follows
A drover in buying lot of grass-fed, com.
mon stock in Illinois, should never calculate to
4 get an estimate of over one-half here of tho
live weight there, That is, If the drove aver
age ls cwt., they will make cwt. Of mea
each.
Medium beeves may be estimated at 54 OF
SO pounds per cwt, Good beeves at sc or 81
pounds. Extra good, large and fat, from 81
to 62 pounds per cwt,sa
In the Boston market, the weight is general
ly estimated upon five quarter that is, the
product of meat, fat and skin. There the cat
tie are generally weighed, and the product es.
timated upon an average, 81 pounds per cwt
