STOCK OF CATTLE IN THE KINGDOM OF SAXONY. 



[Statement prepared at tbe royal Saxon ofice of statistics, and translated and transmitted by Consnl 



Mason.] 



On the 10th of January; last a general census of cattle, or brute poll, 

 was taken throughout the German realm, and almost at the very same 

 time investigations were made relative to the selling price and the live 

 weight of the beasts. The results of both the official enumerations in 

 question, as far as the Kingdom of Saxony is concerned, have been pre- 

 pared and duly submitted to us. It consequently is in our power to 

 compute or estimate the aggregate value and the collective weight of 

 the cattle kei)t in the country. In Saxony both the average selling 

 value and the average live- weight of an animal of middling quality have 

 been ascertained by the instrumentality of the agricultural district asso- 

 ciations. According to the middling selling value of the various ani- 

 mals with regard to the prefectships, the total stock of cattle throughout 

 the country is valued at 238,761,268 marks.
