TABLE XXX. WEIGHT OP LIVE CATTLE BY MEASUREMENT. 4C1 



NOTE. The divisor 7238, in Rule second, is the quotient of 

 576 divided by .07958, and the multiplier .00013816, in Rule 

 third, is the quotient of .07958 divided by 576. % 



EXAMPLE. The girth of an ox is 88 inches, and length 63 

 inches. Required its weight in Imperial stones? 



By Rule 1st, 



88 2 = 7744 X 63 == 487872 X .07958 = 38824.85376 ^ 576 

 = 67.40426 stones, 



and .40426 X 14 = 5.65964 Ibs., and .65964 X 16 = 10.55424 

 ounces, making the weight 67 stones 5 Ibs. 10 j ounces. 



By Rule 2d, 



88 2 = 7744 X 63 = 487872 -5- 7238 = 67.404255 stones; the 

 fractional part of which may be reduced to pounds and ounces as 

 above. 



By Rule 3d, 



88 2 = 7744 X 63 = 487872 X .00013816 = 67.40439552 stones. 



By the Table the content is found to be 67 stones 6 Ibs. The 

 slight difference from the Table, by the first Rule, is caused by 

 taking the remaining fraction .65964, which is above a half-pound 

 as 1. By Rule 2d, the divisor is a very small fraction too large, 

 and by Rule 3d, the multiplier is also a very small fraction too 

 | large. 



The number 7238, multiplied by 8, and divided by 14 = 4130, 

 is the divisor for Sraithfield stones.
