More Horses, Fewer Sheep

Some figures compiled by state AS
SCISSOR George Pottle of Portland regard
ing the live stock of the State have
caused considerable comment. In the
year 1890 the total number of sheep re-
ported in the State was $50 1872; in the
years 1891 2-3 the number reported was
214 33S and this year the number will be
still further decreased amounting only
to 1913, 900 a loss of 10 per cent. The
number of horses in the State including
3-years-old colts and yearlings, is in
creasing, the gain being about 8 per
cent, over last year since 1890 the num-
Der of horses has increased, being 1902,
Id in that year, and last year number
ing 12f, lat, the largest with two or three
exceptions reported in the state. This
is due to the large number of horse
buyers who come to NJ sine looking fOT
we'll bred tIotting stock and fine driving
and show horses. Judging from reports
which come from all parts of the state
the farmers are giving more attention to
the breeding of horses than they have
for many years. The number of COWS
reported this year will be 1872, 600, loss
of about per cent over last year. The
farmers are raising fewer oxen each
succeeding year In 1890, 33, Al oxen
were reported, and there was decrease
every year since except during the
years 1908 and 1904 In the latter year
II, 039 were reported, and this year the
the number is 10000 loss of 0 per cent
from last year.
