Show LIVE STOCK CENSUS. ltd Thoroughness Will be of CJreat Sleipto Stockmen. The coining census of live stock will undertake' three new features, clasifi-eation clasifi-eation by age and partly by sex, aud use and account of pure blood animals; and an enumeration of stock not on farms and ranges, these last amounting amount-ing to several million head. The age classification was undertaken under-taken in response to a demand of the stockmen who felt that the mere enumeration of animals regardless of age and use was about as valueless as a count of inhabitants without distinction distinc-tion of age, sex, color and occupation. They expressed a desire to secure a basis for calculating the approximate number of live stock and the productive produc-tive capacity of the entire mass of cattle or sheep for any particular season, and the schedules have been prepared to meet their wishes. |
