ANIMAL INDUSTRY IN HUNGARY. 
Before the war animal industry centered about sheep, swine, cattle, 
and horses, in the order named, if we base the importance of each on 
the number of animals per each 1,000 inhabitants.

Since the various districts of the old Kingdom of Hungary were 
inhabited by peoples of diverse racial characteristics and with differ- 
ent agricultural customs, and since, due to soil and climatic varia- 
tions, the nature of the field crops grown also varied, it is not surprising 
that the kinds and breeds of livestock produced in different regions 
should also differ. 
Sheep herding was the leading animal industry in Transylvania; 
horses and swine were relatively more important in the territory of 
Hungary proper and in eastern Croatia-Slavonia and Voivodina, the 
corn belt of old Hungary, while the leading districts for cattle were 
Ruthenia, Burgenland, and Croatia-Slavonia. The distribution of live- 
stock throughout the old Kingdom of Hungary is shown in Table 33.
