To Ascertain the Weight of Live Cattle.
First, see that the animal stands
square; then, with string, take his
circumference just behind the shoulder
blade, and measure the feet and inches
this is the girth. Then measure from
the bone of the tail which plumbs the
line with the hinder part of the buttock,
and direct the string along the back to
the fore part of the shoulder blade, and
this will be the length. Then, work the
figures thus: Suppose girth of bullock
feet inches, length 6 feet inches,
which multiplied together make %
square superficial feet, and these multi
piled by 23-the number of pounds ala
measuring less than seven and more
than five feet in girth-make 759
pounds. When the animal measures
| less than nine and more than seven feet
in girtb, 81 is the number of pounds to
be estimated for each superficial foot.
| And suppose small animal to measure
2 feet in girth and feet in length, these
multiplied together make feet, which
multiplied by 1.-THE number of pounds
allowed for each square foot when the
cattle measure less than three feet in
girth-make A pounds. Again: sup.
pose a calf or sheep, etc., to measure
feet inches in girth, and 3 feet 8 inches
in length, that multiplied together
makes 16 square feet, and these multi
Piled by l6-the number of pounds al
lowed for cattle measuring less than five
and more than three feet in girth-
make 356 pounds. The dimensions in
girth and length of the back of cattle
sheep, calves and hogs, taken this way
are as exact as is at all necessary fol
