The coming census of live stock will
undertake three new features, clasiti-

use and account of pure blood animals;
and an enumeration of stock not on

ing to several million head.
The age classification was under
taken in response to demand of the
stockmen who felt that the mere
enumeration of animals regardless of
age and use was about as valueless as

tion of age, sex, color and occupation.
They expressed a desire to secure a
basis for calculating the approximate
number of live stock and the produc-
tive capacity of the entire mass of

prepared to meet their wishes.
