THE FARMERS COLUMN.
no FIND TIE WEIGHT OF LIVE
CATTLE. ....


Experienced drovers and butchers
arc in tho habit of buying cattle, esti-
mated their weight on foot. From
long observance and practice they are
enabled to como very nearly the actual
weight Of an animal but many of
them would be most apt to err, if at
all, on the right side; while the less
experienced farmer always stands the
greatest chance to get the worst of the
bargain. 10 such we would recommend
tho following rule to ascertain tho
weight Of cattle, which is said to APP
proach very nearly the truth, in most
cases. The proof Of this to the salts
faction of any farmer is easily deter
mined at most Of the animal fairs,
where scales are erected, and at numer.
GUS other points in the country.
RULE. -Takea string, put it around
the breast, stand square just behind the
shoulder blade, measure on rule the
feet and inches the animal is in circum-
ference; this is called the girth then,
with the string, measure from the bone
Of the tail which plumbs the line with
the hinder part of the bullock ; direct
the line along the back to the forepart
Of the shoulder blade; take the dimen-
sion on the foot-rule as before, which is
the length; and work the figures in the
following manner: Girth of the animal,
say 6 feet, -four inches length, 5 feet,
8 inches, which, multiplied together,
makes 81 square superficial feet, and
that multiplied by 23-the number of
Of pounds allowed to each superficial
foot of cattle measures less than 7 and
more than S feet in girth--makes 713
pounds. When the animal measures
less than 8 and moro than 7 feet in
girth, 81 is the number of pounds to
each superficial foot. Again, suppose
a pig or any small beast should mea-
sure 2 feet in the girth, and 2 along
the back, which feet in the girth, and
2 along the back multiplied together
makes 4 square feet; that multiplied
by 1.-THE number of pounds allowed
to each square foot of cattle measuring
less than 8 feet in girth-makes AZ
pounds. Again, suppose calf, q
sheep, etc, should measure feet 6
inches in girth, and 3 feet 9 inches in
length, which multiplied together make
S IL square feet, that multiplied by
1.-the number of pounds allowed to
cattle measuring less that S feet and
more than 8 in girth---makes 265
pounds. The dimensions of cirth and
length Of horned cattle, sheep, calves,
and hogs. may be exactly taken in this
way, asst is all that is necessary for
any computation, or any valuation of
stock, and will answer exactly to the
four quarters, sinking offal. The rule
is so simple that any man with bit Of
chalk can work it out. Much is often
lost to the farmers by mere guess work
in the weight of their stock, and this
plain rule is well worth their attention.
