HORSE MORTALITY
RATE QUITE HIGH
In the State of West Virginia
as Shown by the Crop
Reporter.


WASHINGTON, d. c.. April 20
The year ending March 81. 1912,
was rather an unsatisfactory year
for live stock in West Virginia. ac-
cording to figures published in the
Crop Reporter. an official publication
of the department of agriculture.
According to these figures the losses
among horses in West Virginia for
the year aggregated twenty-three to
the 1000, as compared with seven-
teen for the previous year and six
teen. which was an average for the
last ten years, The health condition
of horses for the year is given at
ninety-three per cent compared with
ninety-aye per cent for the previous
year. and ninety-slx per cent for the
ten-years average.
The losses among cattle from dis
ease for the year are given as nine
teen to the 1000, compared with
eighteen for the preceding year and
also for the ten-year average. The
health condition of cattle is given as
ninety-two compared with ninety
four for the ten-year average.
The losses by disease among sheep
were smaller than usual, being
Twenty-Five to the 1000 last year,
as compared with twenty-nine for
the preceding year and thirty-three
for the last ten years. The loss of
lambs, however, was SIS per thous-
and last year compared with fifty
Ave for the preceding year.
The mortality among swine last
year was Al per thousand compared
with twenty-five for the preceding
year. and thirty for the last ten
years. The health condition of swine
is given as ninety-four per cent COM
pared with ninety-six per cent the
preceding year and ninety-five per
cent for the last ten years.
While the death fharte among live
stock has increased the farmers have
been largely recompensed by the in
creas!ng value of other farm
products. The value of wheat in
West Virginia on April /, 1912, is
given as s1.O5 compared with 99c
the previous year. Other values are
given as follows: Corn S9c, CON-
pared with csc year ago; oats 64c,
compared with SIC year ago; po-
tatoes s1.46, compared with 66c;
hay s231O. compared with s14.6O;
butter 2Gc, compared with csc;
eggs tic, the same as year ago;
chickens lie, compared with 11.7c

CIRCUS
Here Friday, May 3, is a
Big Combination of
Big Shows.

Judging from Information at
hand, the Hagenbeck-wallaee Shows
must be the standard of excellence
by which all other amusement en-
terprises should be measured.
When these shows exhibit here Fri
day, May 3, it is said the founda-
tion for this assertion Of superiority
and magnitude will be apparent. The
Hagenbeck-Walla Shows have
grown to a triple-featured enterprise
that is more comprehensive than
any other tented institution. In It's
augmented form 1t embraces besides
the great Wallace circus and origi-
nal Hagenbeck Trained Wild AMI
NAL Show and East Indian Exhibi-
ton and Hindoo Festival that would
rival the Feast of Belshazzar. and
cast into oblivion the oriental
grandeur and glories of the famous
Arabian Nights. In enlarging for its
zenith of greatness no effort or ex-
pense was spared to build an inst
tuition of such tremendous scope
that failure at reaching the tented
ranking position in the amusement
world would be impossible. That
success has attended the effort is
now a matter OF record.
Three practically distinct shows,
each radically different from the
other, have been blended into har-
monious whole. Individually, each
from the standpoint of extent or
worthiness, they would compel the
attention and admiration, and pre-
sented together they make for a
proposition that Is as gigantic as It
is irresistible.
The services of 1000 people and
400 horses are required. The tents
are said to be the biggest ever CON
structed and the paraphernalia is OF
the best, from the smallest toe-pin
to the immense canvas tops. Three
hundred international arenic cham
pions participate in the circus per-
formances and many orthodox acts
necessary to give the proper circus
atmosphere The majority OF the
performers have recently been i'm
ported from foreign countries. and
very few of them have ever appeared
before in America. Three rings,
two elevated stages, an aerial en-
clave and hippodrome are necessary
for the exploitation of their various
foats, Including every sort of per-
Torrance that other circuses boast
of and many startling events noV
other shows present. In addition to
these the Hagenbeck original trained
wild animals are exhibited and give
their remarkable performances in
their entirety in huge steel arenas as
a part of this gigantic enterprise.

EXPECTS ENORMOUS CROP

J. K. Olbrich, of the Garden
Tracts is one of the many fruit.
growers Of the valley who prophesy
an enormous fruit crop this year.
He has every variety of fruit in his
well-cared-for orchard and each and
every tree seems to have taxed its
vitality to the limit in the produc-
ton Of fruit buds. Apricots are
already in full bloom and Mr.. o.
brich says that if three-fourths Of
his peaches were claimed by the
frost there would still be more than
the trees could bear. He expects
to smudge and put in one of the
busiest summers of his life caring
for the various crops as they succeed
each other during the season. He
is already somewhat concerned as to
the amount of competent help which
will be available in harvesting time.
