* 1 315,000 head. f 373,000 head. Dead poultry and game are now returned by 

 weight instead of by number, and in 1900 the number of all kinds, live and dead- 

 exported was about nl millions, ot which 2j millions were sent to this country. 



As the future exportation of meat appears also to be contem- 

 plated in Russia, it may be noted that the imports and exports 

 of cattle from Russia by the European and Black Sea frontiers 

 during the past three years have been as follows (according to 

 the Russian Preliminary Trade Returns for 1901) : — •

It may be observed that the number of cattle in European 

 Russia (60 Governments) in 1900 was 35,917,000, compared with 

 27,622,000 in 1888, or an increase proportionately to the popu- 

 lation from about 300 to 350 head of cattle per 1,000 persons. 

 Among other countries, in the United States there are about 

 910 head of cattle per 1,000 persons; in Argentina, 4,750 per 

 1,000; and in Australasia 2,200 per 1,000. There are several 

 countries not possessing relatively large numbers of stock, such 

 as Holland, Austria-Hungary, Italy and Servia, which carry 

 on a small export trade in cattle.
