In sneep and hogs the increase in
tho South has been very greas, and as
the advantages for raising these an
mails are In many respec.s superior to
what can be found elsewhere, there Is
40 doubt that the number will con-
inue to increase rapidly. In 1875 the
south had 5,l93,GC0 sheep, out of q TO-
sl in the wnuls country OF J,,S"5,JOO,
81 only one-seventh. The South now
i has 12,Gs0,323, out Of a total OF o0,Jc) ,2l3,
| Or one-foulth OF the total number. Tho
i'ferease in sheep for the country AT
large tetWcsn IS % and 1855 has been
ISc5. 900, Of which 7,450C00 is in the
South, Thus the Southern States,
which have only one-third OF che por-
n, alton of the country, even including
the colOred people, whose live stock
interests are exceedingly small. made
a much larger increase in the NUMBER
of sheep than all the rest of the couu-
try combined. While considerable
part OF this gain is In Texas, there mas
nevertheless been an increase In every
State, with tho exception OF South Car.

Afaintaialing her position, no.with-
