OXEN AND SLEEPS.
Farm Animals which Are Not Numerous
in Maine.
(Kennebec Journal.

(kennebec journal.
The matter of the marked decrease in
the number of oxen In the State, was be.
ing discussed Wednesday, and James
Plummer, clerk Of the Board of State
Assessors, showed how fast they were de-
creasing.
According to the first report of the
Board in 1899, there were 26, 600 oxen in
the State. In 1896 there were Is, 1913, and
in 1897 there were but IO,323, which
shows an alarming decrease in the one
year. This is accounted for by the fact,
that In the fall and winter of 1896, there
was such scarcity of hay, that the
farmers did anything to decrease their
stock, In order to get hay enough to last
what of their stock it was absolutely nee
essary to keep. 1t also goes to prove that
the greater part of the oxen sold went in
to the hands of the butcher, rather than
to some more wealthy ia rmer.
OF course those who are posted in agri-
culture and matters pertaining to CATTLE,
know VIII ether or not this decrease in
for the good of the State, so 1t need not
be more fully discussed here.
There has also been q large decrease in
the number of sheep in the State, and
those who sold their sheep in the hard
times when they were SO cheap, are now
bemoaning their fate, since these animals
have nearly doubled the value in the
past year.
In 1899 there were $4,000 sheep in
Maine. In 1896 the number had decreased
to 276, and in 1897 that number as de-
creased to 227, 1873.
1t is said upon good authority there are
not enough sheep to eat up the refuse and
poor hay, that was cut last year.
