Commercial Feeding Stuffs 



What has been said about the causes affecting the use 

 of commercial manures applies also to feeding stuffs of 

 the same origin. 



The extent to which they are used is affected by 

 diverse reasons such as : the fluctuations in prices, the 

 success or failure of fodder crops. 



In i8g5 the census of our live stock gave the following 

 results : 



Horses (those not used for agricultural purposes 



[55.328] included) ............. 271,527 



Cattle ................. 1,420,978 



Sheep ................. 235,722 



Swine ..... ............ 1,163,133 



Goats ................. 257,669 



As the annual census does not take in account the farms 

 of less than i hectare, thus a great number of pigs are 

 not counted, as these animals are generally kept on very 

 small farms.
