The falling off, several years ago, of
the crops in this State necessitated
the disposal of much of the livestock
kept by the farmers at that time to
survive the winter. Cattle. horses
and sheep were sold at prices way be-
low cost, and in the spring the live
stock of Maine was sadly depleted.
Commissioner of Agriculture j. A.
Roberts has investigated the livestock
situation in the State, and reports a
gain of thousands since that time.
The cattle and sheep have gained con-
siderably, SO that at present the live
stock of Maine are among the leaders.
Horses. however, have not gained in
number. owing chiefly to the increased
use of automobiles.
Mr.. Roberts complies the following
table showing the gain in the year
