For cattle of a girth of from 5 to 7 feet, allow 23 Ibs. to the 

 superficial foot. 



- For cattle of a girth of from 7 to 9 feet, allow 31 Ibs. to the 

 superficial foot. 



For small cattle and calves of a girth of from 3 to 5 feet, 

 allow 16 Ibs. to the superficial foot. 



For pigs, sheep, and all cattle measuring less than 3 feet 

 girth, allow 11 Ibs. to the superficial foot. 



RULE. Ascertain the girth in inches back of the should-

 the girth by the length, and divide the product by 144 for 

 the superficial feet, and then multiply the superficial feet by
