The reports are all in giving the losses in
live stock during the recent severe winter,
and, while not as severe as at one time APP
pretended, still they have proved to be larger
than for many years past Tho Cincinnati
Price Current gives the following interesting
summary:
The April report of the statlsxcian of the
department OF agriculture, Issued under date
OF April 20, in addition to Its iullness of de-
tsil relating to condition OF grain crops. pre-
sents very complete information In regard to
condition and losses OF farm animals. The
estimated percentage OF such mortality Tor
the year ending March 81 1899, Is found TO
have beea~higher than for many years preyi-
Gus, excepting for swine. The total loss from
Aposure and disease IL recognized as over
!, 800, 600 head, OF which swine constituted Az
pei cent, sheep 20 2 per cent, cattle 2i.7 per
cent aud horses AZ per cent The losses OF
swine and horses were practically ali from
disease. but IN the case Of cattle and sheep the
loss from disease was considerably less than
that from exposure The report says con
the basis OF the average values, as ascertaincd
on January l last, the estimated loss from * p
posure aggregated about $4,000 GOO and that
IRON disease about $40 000, 600, or a total OF
$40 00O. 600. hye-sixths OF which may be said
10 be theoretically preyentahle.' The follow
ing tabulation from the statistical exhibits
