Swine is nearly equal to the total of

mostly confined to the New England
States in mules, mostly to the Mid
die States while the decrease of cows
is confined almost entirely to the
Southern States. Those in which
there is no change in the number of
igcows are Delaware, Maryland, Vir-
lginia, and Kentucky. The prices of
farm stock are better sustained than

of the farm.- The price of horses has
advanced in nearly all sections of the
country. Sheep are somewhat higher
in some sections. The price of milch
cows has advanced in the South, and
declined slightly in the North. Horses

New Jersey, oxen in Maine, and that

about one million in all. The increase
in horses and cattle is about two per
