LIVE STOCK OF THE WORLD. 



Farmers' Tribune. 



The Tribune has received a number of letters complimenting it on 

 the article, "The Meat Supply of the World," and asking it to publish the 

 number of horses, cattle, sheep and hogs in the different stock countries 

 of the world, so they can see how many of each the different countries 

 have and can also compare them with the United States. We gladly do 

 so, giving the number of horses, cattle, sheep and swine in the different 

 countries, other than Great Britain, up to the time the latest reports are 

 available: 



From the above it will be seen, except in horses and sheep, the 

 United States leads all the nations of the world in the number of the 

 different kinds of domestic animals. Russia surpasses her in the number 

 of horses, but it must be remembered that Russia is two and one half 

 times as large as the United States. We have about twice as many 

 cattle, a third more sheep and four times as many hogs as Russia with 

 times as many cattle, seven times as many sheep and nearly three times 

 as many hogs as Germany. It is not believed that Argentina has more 

 sheep than the United States. Certainly the United states stand out 

 among the nations of the earth as the greatest live stock country on the 

 face of the globe.
