“ We never needed any of them newfangled scales in Ireland,” said O’Hara “ There’s an aisy way to weigh a pig without scales. You get a plank and you put it across a stool. . Then you gen a big stone. Put the pig on one end of the plank and the stone on the other end and shift the plank until they balance. Then you guess the weight of the stone, and you hare the weight of the pig.”-
