Oho's Livestock Record.
Ohio is regaining her lost prestige
in the number and value of her live
stock. The state today has more hogs,
cattle, sheep and horses than any year
! in the last quarter century, according
to official compilation of livestock sta
tisticS made by State Auditor Donahey
from reports of tax assessors.
The value of these animals is great
ly in excess of other years, also. The
results obtained speaks well for the
"self-listing" plan of taxation, tried
for the first time in Ohio this year,
DOnahey says. The only decrease in
livestock was in the number of mules,
and Donahey accounts for this by so
many being sent to France to do their
bit in making the world safe for
democracy"
Assessors reports shows an In.
crease of 58,903 in the number of
horses owned by Ohio farmers and
city men over the number listed for

number in the states history. Darke
county leads with 21,344. Six other
counties have more than $4,000 each.
They are Cuyahoga, Montgomery,
Wood, Licking, Stark and Wayne.
Notwithstanding the fact that there
are approximately 318,000 automo-
biles in use in the state today, there
are more horses than ever.
Only once in the states history, in
| 1850 were there more cattle in
Ohio's pastures than today. The total

of the Civil war, was 1,902,772. After
the Civil war a decline ensued, the
ebb being reached in 1897, when only
1,174,094 cattle were found by the as
SCISSORS. Licking county now holds
first place in number of cattle with
36,586. Ashtabula is a close second.

Less Oats; More Wheat.
Oats is a crop which must give way
to wheat. At present prices the mar
ket value of an acre of oats Is not SO
high as the market value Of the same
acre of wheat Those whose opinions

present demand for wheat will con-
