HORSES AND MULES. 



Horses and Mules: Number and Value on Farms in the United States, 1867-1918. 



Note. — Figures in italics are census returns ; figures in roman are estimates of the 

 Department of Agriculture. Estimates of numbers are obtained by applying estimated 

 percentages of increase or decrease to the published numbers of the preceding year, 

 except that a revised base is used for applying percentage estimates whenever new 

 census data are available. It should also be observed that the census of 1910, giving' 

 numbers as of April 15, is not strictly comparable with former censuses, which related 

 to numbers June 1.
