DESPITE LARGE USE
OF STOCK, FRANCE
HAS LOST BUT FEW

Paris. June ga census Of live.
stock taken at the End Of the year
and just published in the Journal
Ohciel shows that, in spite of the re-
qulrements of the army amounting to
$4,000 head Of cattle q month, France
had lost only about $500, 900 head
from a total Of 14,7s7.710 head exist
ing at h end Of 1913. This loss Of
10 per cent in the total includes cows
and calves as we'll as beef cattle.
The recently decreed restriction of
beef consumption to one meal q day.
at noon. which has been accepted
with very good grace by the public
generally, has already shown its eff
fects. Butchers say their sales have
diminished more than Is per cent.
II this rate Of economy is maintained,
q further dimfnution Of livestock will
be prevented and a brief prohibition
of the slaughter Of calves for veal
would restore it to h figures Of 1918.
A 60 per cent decrease in wholesale
prices Of meat at the central markets
is attributed in part to the new
regime. Retail prices. however, have
not declined n anything like the same
ratio.
The census shows that the number
of sheep in France decreased during
the. war from 16.131.3 $50 to 10, $3.50
and hogs 7,035,850 to 4,361,9 900. These
comparisons are made. with 1918.
which was a record year for livestock
in France.
The number Of horses at the end
Of 1916 was 2~.445.680 as compared
with s,222.000 at the end Of 1918. A
million horses were lost in the nrst
year Of the war.
