* The German ponml is equal to 1 Vio H^- avoirdupois. The above weights are theref(vre 

 to be mcrejiBod Vio ^" reprehent our weights. For practical purposen, however, this 

 riHlnotion will be in most cahos unnecessary, as tlie weiffhtK are bnt relative and approxi- 

 mate. I'ho (inantities of nntrients calculated per 1,000 pounds live-weis?ht, of course, 

 need no reduction, being simply relative, and the rame is true to a certain extent of the 

 quantities per head.
