WEIGHT OF CATTLE.
Simple Way In Which It Can Be Ae-
curately Estimated.

A simple way to determine the
weight of cattle has been suggested by
a breeder who raises shorthOrns in the
middle west. His instructions are as
follows: You measure the girth
close behind the shoulders, and the
length from the forepart of the shoul.
der blade along the back to the bone
at the tail, which is in a vertical line
with the bullock. both in feet. Multi
ply the square OF giAsh, expressed in
feet, by five times the length. and dl.
vide the product by 81 the quotient is
the weight. nearly, of the four guar.
tiers, in imperial stones of IA pounds
avoirdupois.
Here is an example: II the glrth
be- feet and the length 5A feet, one
will have 6x6-36 and 5Ax5-26A;
then 36x26A-9i5, and this divided by
81 gives 45 stone exactly.
However, In very fine cattle, the
four quarters will be about one.twen.
tieth more, while in those OF a very
lean state, they will be one.twentieth
less than the weight obtained by the
above rule"
