Take tho measurement of the girth where it is smallest (close he- : hind the shoulder) and the length . of the animal from the front of the shoulder to tho junction of the tail. Multiply thhe square of the girth in feet and inches by the length in feet, and multiply the ' product by .23, .24, ".26, .28, or .30. according to the fatness of the .animal, and the result will give the " weight in imperial stones. For instance, if the girth of an animal in moderaite o*nditioin he 6ft, the length sftr 4in, then 6 x fi-3fi x 51-3—192 x .24-47.08 stones. The foregoing is tho carcase weight of the animal. The weight of the carcase would be about -|jof the live weight for cattle; for sheep, from 1-3 to -§; and for a pig, from \ y to 1 the live weight. , '.
