The rate of growth maintained in this country since the compila-tion of the figures a few years ago, may be best shown by comparing some of them withthe census of the people ofthe United States atthe last-named date,possessed, in roundnumbers, 43,902,-400 horned cattleand 28, 172,000swine. This is alarger number ofcattle than anyother nation canshow, India having but 30,000,000, and Russia 24,609,260. Wehave 13>537*534 horses, being surpassed in this respect only byRussia, which has 19,683,340. We come fourth in the hst of sheep-raising nations, having only 43,883,065; but in the food-producinganimals, cattle and hogs, our country leads the world.
