during the past years. the number of
hogs is still az per cent greater than
in 1911. In the United States swine
increased 1.6 per cent over last year.
The sheep industry is again on the
decline. The reduction in flocks which
started in 1912 was stopped in 1917,
after which the number of sheep in
creased each year until 1920, when
the downward movement began once
more at the rate of per cent d year
in 1920 and 1921. The number Of
farms this year is estimated ID be
$4,000, compared with $4,000 last
year and $4,000 in 1910. Losses
due to stray dogs, the low price OF
wool, and the marketing of greater
percentage of the lamb crop than
usual are the causes assigned for the
decline. The total number OF sheep
in the United States IS 81 per cent
less than last year.

an increase is milk cows, the number
of which increased per cent during
the past year, and is now per cent
greater than in 1911.
Owing to the change III the time
of taking the last Census, it is dit
ficult to make comparisons with pre-
vious years, but converting pre-war
estimates to the Jan. l, basis, the fig
ures show that there are fewer horses
and sheep on farms now than in 1914,
while there arc more mules, milk cows,
cattle and swine. The value per head
of horses, mules, and cattle is less
than in 1914, but the value of milk
COWS, sheep and swine is greater than
in 1914.
The greatest decrease during the
past year in the number OF cattle,
which dropped from $4,000 on Jan. |,
1921 to 4lS,0C0 in 1922, a decline of
per cent. The large number OF
calves veaIed, and the heavy finan-
cial losses of cattlcmen arc reported
to be the cause for the decrease
compared with last year. In the
United States there are 1.G per cent
less cattle than last year.
The number Of swine on Jan. /, 1922
was $4,000 compared with $4,000
last year, a decrease Of $4,000 or .
per cent. Owing to the great demand
for pork products during tie var,
Virginia farmers increased their
herds nearly 10 per cent over the
