WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-THE census
office today issued a bulletin containing
statistics of the range cattle industry in
the United states, not including cattle
on farms. The bulletin says that since
1880 great changes have taken place in
the industry of range cattle, large areas
used as ranges are now enclosed as farms
and the cattle are driven to new and
distant feeding grounds. A large por
ton of Texas, Colorado, Oregon, Wash
ington and California, one-third of Kan
sas and one-half of Nebraska have been
converted into farms during the last de-
cade. Owing to the difficulty in exactly
defining the lines of range and farm
stock and to avoid Implications, only the
stock known to be outside Of that taken
as farm stock is included in the tables
of this bulletin. 1t is found that in June,
| 1890, there were upon the ranges, 5l7,-
l29 hc1ses, 5,433 mules, 14,10J asses and
