BULLETIN 1388, U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE 
Dairying is of commercial importance on comparatively few farms, 
although all but four of the farms visited in the two years had one 
or more cows. The number of dairy cows on the various size farms, 
in 1922, was as follows: Five of the 33 small farms, 26 of the 67 
medium farms, and 14 of the 39 large farms had four cows or more. 
It seems that an expansion in the hog enterprise would add to the 
income of many of the farms studied, particularly on farms where 
there is a surplus or waste of potatoes, skim milk, grain, etc. 
In 1922, 2 of the 33 small farms, 13 of the 67 medium farms, and 
10 of the 39 large farms had two sows or more.
