Fig. 7.— Index numbers of livestock in Germany from 1875 to 1925 compared with 1912 as 100 
In each case the pre-war data are compared with the basic data for the whole of the German 
Empire, while post-war numbers are compared with 1912 data calculated on a basis of the areas 
within the boundaries of the German Republic as of 1923. The outstanding features of this graph 
are the pre-war decrease in sheep and increase in swine. Since the war the numbers of sheep, 
goats, and horses have increased beyond the 1912 numbers. Swine and cattle are rapidly recover- 
ing their pre-war status. (See text.)
