showing by states the comparative num-
Der repre- scented by percentage. the three
states above mentioned are indicated by
blanks, additional 10 which are Kentucky,
California, Colorado, Idaho aud Utah
similarly indicated as having been RE-
vised." Kentucky is made to appear 25
per cent. more than last year, and Cali
fornia 3S per cent. smaller. Where no
revision seems TO have occurred, the
supply this year compared with last year
by percentage is as follows, for western
states: Ohio 1903, Indiana 100. Kansas
lis, Nebraska 81, Minnesota 85, Dakota
IS, Wisconsin SO, Michigan 100, Tennes-
see 40. These figures 90 not warrant
the presumption INIT Illinois, Iowa and
Missouri are greatly in excess of last
year.
As an evidence that there was no i'm
portart increase in the number OF hogs
in the states of Illinois, Iowa and Mis-
souri,, We quote from the State reports ae-
c~ompanying the exhibits presented by
the staiisticiau, as follows.
Illinois. Hogs have decreased in num-
bers, attributed TO the scarcity of last
years corn crop and swine plague.
Iowa.-The hog crop Of this season
suffered severely In the cold and wet OF
early spring. Large numbers of the best
bred pigs. delicate and tender from the
system OF breeding, were lost.
Missouri. The demand for hogs has
been good and the supply short, partly
because Of low prices In recent years, q
few short corn crops. and prevalence of
hog cholera and other diseases.
1t appears plain, in the light Of the
facts in the case, that instead of an in
crease in the number OF swine approach
ing anything like what is shown by the
official report, the gain is very unim-
portant-probably not exceeding an aver
age g. 3 per cent. for states which fur
nish a surplus for packing operations.
Suppose 5000. 600 be added to last
years comparison in the three states, the
| result will be as follows:

The above may be regarded rs y fair

incurred, and possibly exceeding it-sus-
costing I'm increase of about 9 per cent.
