WEIGHING PIGS AND SHEEP. 
--==The following description and illustration by Mr H. R. Stephens of an 
appliance to weigh pigs, sheep, or any animal up to the limit of scales, may be 
useful to readers of the Jowrnal:—The appliance is somewhat in the form of a 
small table. The animal to be weighed is put into an enclosure which is 
formed by the four legs of the table, admission to which is afforded by a door or 
bar at each end. Of course the table ought to be strongly made ,and the width 
only sufficient to prevent an animal from turning round when enclosed. 
A FARM SIGNAL, 
Mr. Stephens also writes:—Although farmers and, in fact, most other 
people have a good idea of when the dinner-hour approaches, it might 
be useful to some to know the time a little closer than can be guessed
