If the animal is begins to fall slowly and steadily, rain will lean, deducto from the result. Or:

Take certainly ensue; but if the fine weather has the girth and length in feet, multiply the been of long duration, the mercury may fall square of the girth by the length, and multiply for 2 or 3 days before any perceptible change the product by 3.36. The result will be the answer in pounds. The live weight, multiplied by .605, gives a near approximation to the net weight. takes place, and the longer time that elapses before rain comes, the longer the wet weather is likely to last.
