CATTLE PROSPECTS IN WESTERN AUSTRALIA 207 CATTLE PROSPECTS IN WESTERN AUSTRALIA. Western Australia is so big a country, and subject tc so manydiffering conditions, that any general description of the cattleindustry is impossible; the only way to gain a clear understand-ing of the position is to take the divisions of the State separately. When the last statistics were published at the end of 1917, theState possessed 958,484 cattle, as compared with 863,930 at theend of 1916, and 754,377 in 1907. There has then been an ap-parent steady increase during the last 10 years, but this increaseis almost wholly in the Kimberley division, which lies in theextreme north of the State; and, as a matter of fact, the mainNorth-west division, which has been discarding cattle for sheepfor many years, has gone back in its numbers. Kimberley is the cattle end of the country, as will be shown bythe following table:— statistical Division. Cattle at 31st Dec, 1917. East Kimberley . . . . . 265,6
