I'VE CATTLE WEIGHED BY MEASURE

LIVE CATTLE WEIGHED BY MEASURE
The only instrument necessary is measure
with feet and inches marked upon it. The
girth is the circumference of the animal just
behind the shoulder blades. The length is the
distance from the shoulder blades. The su-
perfcial feet are obtained by multiplying the
girth and length The following table contains
the rule to ascertain the weight Of the animal:
If less than foot in girth, multiply the su.
per6cial feet by eight. If less than three aud
more than one, multiply superficial feet by
eleven.
If less than FIVE and more than three, multi
ply superficial feet by sixteen. 81
If less than seven and more than five, multi.
ply superficial feet by twenty-five.
If less than nine and more than seven, multi
ply superficial feet by thirty three
If less than eleven and more than nine, null
tiply superficial feet by forty two.
Example.-Suppose pig to measure in
girth two feet, and length one foot and nine
inches; there would be three and half feet.
which multiplied by eleven, gives thirty-eight
and half pounds, as the weight of the animal
when dressed In this way the weight of the
quarters can be substantially ascertairfed dur
ing life.

VENETIAN GoNDoLAs,

Venice is built upon seYenty-two islands.
The main part of the city is built upon forty
two islands, closely clustered together; and
there are thirty others upon which various
public and private institutions are built. The
houses are very high, and most of the canals
narrow, 80 that viewing the city from any lofty
position, it looks as if the principal part was
built upon a single island. The Grand. Canal
is, as it's name implies, the principal canal in
Venice. It is very broad and has winding
course through the city. Numerous smaller
canals run into it. These canals are bridged
over. so that foot passengers can travel from
one part Of Venice to the other. There is no
such thing as carriage in the city, and even
travelling about on horseback is not to be
thought Of The travel from one part of the
city to another is through narrow passages be-
tween lofty houses. While in the city did
not see any signs of either donkey, horse, or
other beast of burden or travel. ALL travel
otherwise than on shanks' mare is done by
gondolas, which are light boats, sharp at both
ends, and with place amidships for passen-
gers. They are painted black, according to
an ancient law They have in the centre either
an awning or cabin covered with black; and
as one sees one of these sombre looking things
moving slowly and quietly along, it reminds
him of a funerab In ancient times the ancients
We'd with each other in the magnifcence of
their gondolas, till it reached to such an extent
that the Government had to put stop to it,
These gondoliers are propelled by one or two
oarsmen, who always work standing up, facing
forward, and never use more than one oar
each. It is wonderful with what skill they
manage these boats with single oar. They
are very cheap mode of conveyance, and can
be hired whole day for one dollar each boat
carrying three or four persons. These are
what they call omnibus gondolas, propelled by
four or FIVE men, and these run to different
parts of the city. Going about in gondolas ls
the most comfortable mode of sightseeing that
have enjoyed. Before the different palaces
and other buildings are numerous upright posts
in the canal, which are for the purpose of se-
curing the gondolas. In ancient noble families
each individual possessed his own gondola. At
all the principal landings is always an old man
who makes show Of holding the gondola while
you get out, and for which he receives fee
of one cent.
