Live Stock And Population

Prof. Thorold Rogers, of Oxford University, Eugland, lias made up a curious return of the proportkm of domesticated live stock to popiüation in the most prominent countries in the world. It shows the following resulte : öreat Britain has one cow to every twelve persons, a sheep for everybody, and one pig for every six. France has a liko proportion of sheep, a doublé share, comparatively, of cows, but only one pig to every six persons. The Bwedes have a cow between three and one-half of them, a sheep between two and thrce'-quarters, and a pig to a baker's dozen. There are as many sheep as Üiere are Norwegians in Norway, when they are all at home, and two and one-half oí them - the Norwegians - are entitled to a cow. They can have only one-eighteenth of a pig each. Denmark has a cow for three persons, as many sheep as persons, and a pig for four and three-quarters persons. Prussia, with her usual unif ormity, has an equal numrjer of cows and pigs, one to every flve inhabitants, besides a sheej) apiece all round. Wurtemburg has a quarter as many cows as peopíe, a sheep to two and three-quarters, and a pig to every seven. Bavaria rates the same as Wurtemburg as to cows and sheep, and is as muchbetter off for pigs as one-fifth is better than one-seventh. Saxony lias a sheep and a pig for every eight persons, and a cow for every six. Holland has a cow to every four, a sheep to every four, and a pig to twelve persons. Bolgium a cow to six, a sheep to nine, and a pig to eight (which is an Hibernicism.) Austria has a cow for every six persons and a sheep and a pig for every live persons. Switzerland runs up to the Swedish standard on cows, one to three and onehalf persons, and has a sheep for live, and a pig for every seven and one-half persons. We Americans close the list with a cow for every four of us, a sheep apiece,
