THE SUPPLY OF CATTLE.
The C~nsus Depended Upon "a Fur
nish Accurate Data Upon
Much Mo0ted Question.

Probably no one can figure accurate
ly the condition of the future cattle
market. All attempts to find out the
available supplies have SO far been
based on estimates, which are mora
or less good guesses. Opposing factors
have been at work that affect the stu
alton quite seriously. In the first place
the consumption of meat has been in
creased by the better business OF the
country. This has caused rise in
price, which in turn stimulated the
production Of more beef animals. More
COWS have been bred to better bulls
than for some years. This breeding TO
better bulls means n direct increase in
the amount of meat being produced.
The sire Of the calf determines 10
large extent the size TO which the calf
is 10 grow, and consequently the
| weight that he will dress at one or
two years of age. This is one of the
| factors that is likely TO affect the
market in the future. The govern
ment is about to take census OF the
cattle in the country, and II is ex-
yctced that this will give data OF more
value than we have ever before pos
sessed. But if men try To figure out
the cattle supplies from the basis OF
numbers they will not arrive at ac-
curate conclusions. During tine last
ten years the character of western
range cattle has undergone change.
ewing 10 the us~ on those herds OF bet
ter and heavier bulls than formerly.
Comparisons of NUMBERS do not show
, the meat supply. 1t il not numbers OF
cattle that affec. the market, but the
= weight of meat they produce. II Is
Z therefore probable that the supply OF
e cattle in the future. that Is, during
: ,he next five years. Will exceed con
siderably most Of the estimates
