TO ASCERTAIN THE WEIGHT OF CATTLE. Take tho measurement of the girth where it is smallest (close behind the shoulder) and the length of the animal from the front of the shoulder to tho junction of the tail. Multiply tlihe square of the girth in feet and. inches by tho length in feet, and multiply the product by .23, .24, .26, .28, or .30, according to tlio fatness of the animal, and the result will give the weight in imperial stones. For instance, if the girth of an animal in moderate conditioin be 6ft, the length sftr 4in, then. 6 x 6—36 x 51-3—192 x .24-47.08 stones. Tho foregoing is tho carcase weight of the animal. The weight,of the carcase would be about -fof tho livo weight for cnttle; for sheep, from 1-3 to g; and for a pig, from I to il the live weight.
