Let us consider these facts which
have been extracted from O recent
number Of the Crop Reporter, that
publication Of much esoteric interest,
issued by authority Of the secretary
Of agriculture: On January 1, 1918,
the total number Of horses on farms
and ranges in the United States was
20,667, 900. valued at 911077 per head.
with an aggregate value Of 92,278,222..
900. Compared with January 1, 1912,
horses had increased $4,000; mules
increased $4,000; milch cows decreased
100000; other cattle decreased $780,.
600; sheep decreased $4,000; swine
decreased 4,232,000.

what bearing this decrease during the
year 1912. in the numbers of cattle.

will just say that 30 far as Is indicated
