SOUTH AFRICAN SHEEP
AN INCREASING TOTAL. The Standard Bank of South Africa in its monthly review, states: — Statistics of the live stock population of the Union, taken from the recently published preliminary figures of - the 1924-25 Agricultural Census,' show -that -while the. numbers of cattle; ' goats - and pigs remained almost stationary/ and those of horses and ostriches steadily declined, as compared with a year earlier, a remarkable increase has taken place in the number of woolled sheejj. Some part of this increase is probably due to the classing as “woolled” of sheep previously described as “non-woolod,” but even after making allowance for this, the increase in woolled sheep cannot have been less than 3,500,000, or about 13 per cent.
