In the North Atlantic division, In the
South Atlantic division there was a
decrease OF about $4,000, and I'm
the South Central division the de-
crease was about 10000. In the
North Central division there was
scarcely any change, 10,069,451 being
reported in 1910, or only some $4,000
more than in 1900. The Western di.
vision showed an increase of about
100000 sheep.
Game Protection.
The Department of Agriculture has
made careful estimates Of the number
OF deer killed last season. and 1t an
nounces that in % States for which
statistics are available the bag was
80, l50 deer. No estimate was made
for California and some other West
ern States, and I'm other States, such
as New Hampshire, North and Sou
Carolina, no statistics were available.
Making fair allowances for such
States, the number of deer killed In
the United States last year is eSti-
mated at $4,000 to $4,000. The mum
ber of elk killed lis put at 1000, or
less, and of moose 1850.

The American Bison Society made
a careful census and found that there

America as compared with 1,917 when
the 1908 census was made. OF these
buffalo 1,007 are i'm captivity in the
United States, 626 are In captivity
in Canada, and ATS are wild. In 1908,
there were 1,116 buffalo in captivity
in the United States, and of these a
considerable number was purchased
by the Canadian Government, but
the buffalo census shows an actual
increase Of about 200. The largest
herds i'm private hands now are at
Belvedere, Kansas; Roman, Montana
Newport, New Hampshire; Pawnee,
Oklahoma; Goodnight, Texas; and ON
Antelope Island, Great Salt Lake.
