better. |

Burn's Hog Weighing Method: |
| 30 |
(1) Get a perfectly symmetrical plank and balance it across a |
| 31 |
sawhorse. |
| 32 |
(2) Put the hog on one end of the plank. |
| 33 |
(3) Pile rocks on the other end until the plank is again perfectly |
| 34 |
balanced. |
| 35 |
(4) Carefully guess the weight of the rocks. |
